Like? That was Paperrad. An unofficial video/graphic and design collective. They're usually working in the areas of comics, VJing, netart (see Recycled Footage is the Future) and band managing. Not much else is known about them due to their extreme vagueness but after sifting through many sources it seems that they are simply a group of artistic friends, all making individual projects and gaining mass, underground recognition for their works (usually comprising of block neon colors hideously clashing together, combined with chroma-keyed cartoons). It's not for the faint of heart.
This is a shot of their studio...
This is some of their artwork. A strange pseudo-anime/cutout explosion.
The collective has splintered into several bands in the genres of electronica, techno, noise and rock. Some of these bands are: Extreme Animals, Dr. Doo, ROTFLOL, Paz and maaany mooore.
If you've ever seen Nathan Barley, I'd say it's the ultimate epitome of Paperrad and all it's followers - a happy go lucky hive mind of trend-setting, fashion conscious, trend junkies. Which I say in a jokily positive way.
