And while we are on the topic, just who are these people?
The band State of Blake (f.k.a. Silence) just dont seem to have any profile or air play in Australia. What a pity. From what little I've sampled of their work, this is one sweet outfit.
Since their official formation in 1998, the sibling quintet formerly known as Silence has been building an impressive back catalogue -- developing a fresh and diverse modern rock sound. Tunes like "Came So Close" and "Ruins" have me keen to track down more from their discography, like:
Their link to Cambodia? Well they have donated the new web address for this museum. The audio/video section of that site houses a special clip of the band performing "Ruins". Directed by Nathan Stewart and edited by Mark Hussey, it features Cambodia footage by Josh Peace.
It took a bit of effort to dig up the new site for the landmine museum, as most directories have it listed under the now defunct www.landmine-museum.com. And that site - with its broken links and incomplete structure - is starting to look like much like the piles of discarded weapons rusting around Aki Ra's display.
