"Coming straight outta the superhot San Francisco underground, Numbers debut record gets hipsters smiling (smirking?) and asses shaking. This trio has been whipping live audiences into a frenzy since the summer of 2000. Lead singer and drummer Indra Dunis lays down disco-punk beats a la Gang Of Four or Devo that jack into your dance cortex. Dave Broekema whacks away at his Gibson SG making jagged No Wave skree along the lines of the Contortions. Eric Landmark's Moog and his homemade 'Buzzerk' synth machine pump out robotic bass and bleeps that would make both Kraftwerk and Adult proud. Lyrics about work, the proliferation of technology, consumerism, and elitist attitudes all go hand-in-hand with Numbers' egalitarian vision -- undoing late-capitalist subroutine with some much-needed rumpus."

Catalog #:	MEOW 098CD

"Numbers are Eric (ex-Xerobot), Dave (ex-Xerobot), and Indra (Dynasty), a rock'n'roll trio formed in the fertile post-wealth post-rave San Francisco dot-bomb underground. They play fast, primal punk disco beats, trading detached boy/girl vocals amid intermittent bursts of noisy guitar and fuzzed-out berserk bass. The influences they cite (no wave, Gang of Four, Kraftwerk, Wire) seem typical enough, but Numbers chew these up and spit it back out all their own."

Title:	Tomlab Alphabet Singles Series - W
Label:	TOMLAB (GERMANY)
Format:	7"
Price:	$6.00
Catalog #:	TOM 106EP

"Numbers emerges from the dusk of last year's full-length, Now You Are This, with a pair of rollicking jams that refuse to let the summer set from our hearts and minds. 'Is That Really True?' takes on the heavy question of real knowledge with a fuzz bass and drone organ before turning to an irresistible hum-along chorus. And prevailing question remains: 'What can we know?' On the flip, the Tommy James and the Shondells classic 'Crimson and Clover' experiences a fuzz rock reawakening shot through by pointedly triumphant guitars and dirty synth. All builds to an end with a brilliant reenactment of the tremolo chant 'Crimson and Clover - over and over...' Summer may go, but it won't be gone forever." Limited to 500 copies.
