Rough Trade goes sectist shopping

Legendary London label/shop/distro Rough Trade has snapped up a few copies of Cotard’s Syndrome for sale both online and from their well-groomed connoisseur clerks behind the counters. Thanks to Trönd (of Agent Flux fame) for gettin’ us connected!

Here’s what they had to say about us: “Debut 4 track EP from Oslo, Norway's new wavesters This Sect. Think Fugazi, Interpol crossed with Devo, PIL, maybe a touch of Flying Nun indieness! A very limited edition of 500 copies only. Recommended, a nice release!”

Stroke our egos, check it out!

This Sect on heavy rotation at Radio Nova

"Tonite we're gonna party like it's 1939" made it to Radio Nova's A-list this week. That means heavy rotation, man! If you're a good citizen of Oslo you can listen to the good stuff at FM 99,3. If you're elsewhere, stream it at www.radionova.no.

Here's what they had to say about us (in Norwegian):

"Oslo-baserte This Sect har holdt det gående en stund nå, men har så langt hatt problemer med å nå ut med sin spastiske og lett Devo-inspirerte kunst-rock. Dette bør imidlertid forandre seg etter at bandet tidligere i høst ga ut "Cotard's Syndrome EP", og endelig har god nok lyd til å matche deres musikalske intensjoner. This Sect låter nemlig overraskende selvsikre til å være et band som sliter med å få spillejobber i hovedstaden, de har gode låter og et litt tullete humorkonsept, som blant annet inkluderer bandbilder fra den mye omtalte svenske småbyen Knutby. Sjekk ut nettsiden deres selv: www.thissect.com, og mens du er der så kan du jo gi dem en hjelpende hånd ved å stemme dem inn på neste års bylarm."

Word to yo mama!

Sexy Sectist of the Month

This month’s ”Sexy sectist of the month”-award goes to Vebjørn Koksvik. Here he is livin’ la vida loca in Guantanamo Bay, a bitchin’ jet set beach party area often featured on MTV Party Zone. When Vebjørn wasn’t flexing his pectoral abs on the beach he was busy checking out the local cuisine, or simply chillin’ it at the nearest Coca Cola hot spot. Tourism in Cuba sure can be a sweet ride, especially if you’re from Germany.

Pic-tchaz inna visual stylee

Pictures from our gig at Kvarteret in Bergen are now available at the Pics section. Check out the Polish zombie dancer! The crowd went crazee! Footage from this weekend's Hønefoss Hoolabaloo will follow soon.

Let these snake fingers rub off on you

This Sect is a humble bunch of creepy stalker dudes. While we don't necessarily think that we'd gather enough votes to play at by:larm, it sure would make for a nice weekend gathering autographs and various skin trophies.

Always remember: A vote for This Sect is a vote for a better Gomorrah! Be special! Sniper eyes are watching every move you make! Red tag says you're it! So vote now!
