How two bands such as Fun 100 and the Hand blossomed out of Abbotsford still remains a mystery to most. How this album came about is also a mystery. Nothing like this was supposed to happen to a town known mainly for Mennonites, but littered with a mess of strip malls and suburbs spilling into a vast ocean of farm land. The youth of Abbotsford are grown mainly to fill the malls, and eventually get a job that they don't like, the few beacons of hope moving to a more accepting metropolis as soon as they can. The only thing known is that this petri dish of a town developed a small strain of a something that was completely different than anything before it. Fun 100, although formed two years before, came out of semi-retirement with a batch of new songs that were strangely upbeat and unpredictable. Tired with the pretentious, boring and redundant local jam band scene, the Hand formed to combat lengthy hippie funk jams with terribly short and in your face synth violence action. Finding much common ground the two bands become good friends and began playing many shows together. If Abbotsford was the carcass of a camel, Fun 100 and the Hand were not the straw that broke its back, but rather the blood that oozed from its cracked vertebra, out of its orifices and into the streets. It won't be long until you can no longer ignore these two bands as they destroy everything in their path and change the world one show at a time. You can pay attention now, or pay attention later, but you will pay attention. Check out the artist's website: http://fun100.cjb.net Track List: 1. Computer 2. Nintendo Golf 3. There Goes the Sun 4.
