In 2004 a little band from Newcastle was formed in the front room of a house in Hamilton, Australia. The idea behind this band was to predict what punk and hardcore would sound like in the futuristic fictional world of Neo-Tokyo, depicted in the classic Japanese films like Akira. After ten minutes of translating and re-translating the original name of the band into Japanese Then back into English, they finally decided on “The Ghost Computer!!”. 
A few months later they recorded demos that creeped into the hands of influential members of the Newcastle Experimental music scene. They soon found themselves recording an in demand EP. Eventually TGC met up with a crazy band of girls from Sydney called “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted For The Penguin” who shared a similar form of musical chaos…And that’s when Products of the static age began to manifest.
Out of this partnership a small virus of a music scene grew and spread along the east coast of Australia. This scene quickly became an Anti-Reaction against the Hardore music scene in Australia at the time.
Fast forward three years from it’s inception, the scene was housing bands from all over the world, from Japan to Brazil.
