“This music is from the suburbs; borne of the frustration of watching affluent inner city hipsters – self-satisfied with their mediocre indie-pop and electro groups – get inexplicably big.”
So said Shaun Prescott in an interview with Sydney’s Ghosts of Television last year. The band will make good on their early promise – a mostly instrumental demo Bi-Gong-Xin, a couple CD-Rs and an EP, Furthest Village From The Sun – when they release their debut LP this month. Dubbed Forsaken Empire, the album will be released on new Sydney imprint Magnetic Recording Council. And according to a recent missive, it’s sure to please fans of Current 93, Disco Inferno, Norwegian Black Metal and The Pop Group.
Forsaken Empire will be launched in Melbourne at El Joyero in Thornbury with Repairs, Kitchen's Floor and Super Star on November 7 and at Pony’s infamous 2am show later that night.

Aaand does anyone know if there are any copies of Bi-Gong-Xin left anywhere?
My housemate has the only copy of Bi-Gong-Xin that I have seen in the last two years!
There might be a tape of all the early bullshit coming out though. Maybe maybe. Not sure.
Bi-Gong-Xin really needs to be saved from obscurity.
