YES.

I'd put them in the top 10 Glasgow bands.

I wouldn't say they were a great band though. alot of the lyrics are very poor and some of the vocals are restrained due to the fact that the guy couldn't sing very well.

I think they got enough praise for the output they made to be honest with you.

'Kewpies Like Watermelon' brings back the fondest 90s memories to me. :)

best of the 90s and all that

project ako, unfortunately, are really boring.

No, I bought some of their sevens in an attempt to 'get into' them after hearing them on Peel. They are just shit. Boring, no songs

my friends and i only went because we liked the anime they took their name from. they were a lot of fun though.

RAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWR

in 1998

if you google them, nothing comes up. NOTHING. How can that be?
On Project Ako, a lot of love was lost watching em down the grapes. Pissed and ecstatic to see my childhood heroes (albeit in neutered form) I jokily shouted/heckled 'play siamese!' at the behest of a friend. The reply -

'How predictable.'

Lighten up!

is one of my favourite songs of all time. Really liked the Yon Kyoku Iri EP too.

Everybody Loves Urusei Yatsura is a great forgotten indie pop album. My favourite of theres by quite a bit. It gets a few listens every summer.

did anything better than the first album in my mind. The two follow ups were pretty average overall, although they still had some great songs.

Projekt A-ko have their moments (Ichiro on 3rd is ace) but i always preferred Graham's songs/voice to Fergus's.

I really like Supertriste Duxelle on the Projekt A-ko myspace, kinda shoegazery harmonies.

.....but they were never going to be massive. The British public would never have supported a band so messy & noisy - which is a shame. "Siamese" is still a fucking wonderful tune.
I remember talking to Ben Kweller about ten years ago outside the old Barfly (The Falcon) in Camden & he was raving about how UY were his favourite band in the world. Bless 'im.
