Their music is quite good, i became a fan some years ago of their hysterical youtube videos. In case you never heard of them, they were a satire music group of CERN staff, parodying aspects of working there.
As the web was invented at CERN, they have the cute claim of being "the first band on the web" and the first photo too, of which i was able to find the pre-edited version as well.
Hard to believe the web is already decades old, seems still like just a few years old.. Perhaps due to all the innovation and changes like google search, ipads and mobile web, ...
It would have been cute if they'd posed for a reunion retake on the 20th anniversary before dissolving.
