Six Finger Satellite

They infamously submitted an "alternative rock"-styled demo to Sub Pop Records, who subsequently signed them under the impression that this represented the band's musical intentions. The demo was the four-song ''Weapon'' EP in 1992.

The record more accurately represented the band's vision of noisy, cyborg-esque post-punk, and was recorded by Bob Weston, whose band Shellac named their 1994 single, '' The Bird is the Most Popular Finger'' in tribute. In 1994, 6FS released the ''Machine Cuisine'' EP, which was recor ...
