Too much weed, probably. But one or two of these guys are still making records (not v. well, IMO) as DJ Me DJ You.

eleven years pass...

A great album I just discovered. Where there other worthwhile bands like this in the mid '90s that really rode heavy on the exotica/lounge movement while retaining that electronic/sample-delic approach? I know there was Stereolab, Komeda, Add N TO X, Beck circa "Odelay," and the like. But Sukia totally passed me by.

i saw sukia! three times. all opening for beck -- they must've known each other? i was in high school, i think i and all of my friends made fun of them at first, but we actually ended up really liking their album.

Sukia was founded and led by Ross "Angeles" Harris, who as a child played the precocious Joey in Airplane!

Whaaaaaaat is that true?!

it's true! i'm not sure how we discovered that back in the pre-internet days, but it was a good factoid.

haw, maybe it was from reading this - http://articles.latimes.com/1996-12-26/entertainment/ca-12631_1_moog-synthesizer

But Harris became used to the limelight long ago when he was a child actor, appearing in such films as "Airplane!" (he's the boy in the cockpit scene with Peter Graves and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and such '70s TV series as "CHiPs" and "Little House on the Prairie."

"It kind of primed me for Sukia," Harris says with a smirk. "Hanging out with Michael Landon and running through the back hills of Simi just kind of inspires electronic music."
