S1E35 - Automatism

This ep is about some legal stuff, but seriously, Automatism is a great name for a band. Anyone able to play anything and want to join? I can play a bit of guitar and Kehoe can too but he will probably want to play a balalaika or a sitar or something equally wacky. Probably need a lead singer (1970's Debbie Harry type) and a drummer (Rick Buckler type) and then Automatism can start rehearsing. Anybody...? Hello...?
