ORAL HISTORY:
SPIDER:
When Sewer Cider finished I started Farce with Jade, Derek, and Danny.
We played maybe six shows, recorded a demo, and then broke up. My
previous issues in Sewer Cider were the cause of this also.

DANNY: I was in Sewer Cider as a drummer in a very last moment before they disbanded, and then we started Farce.
Danny Sano (Drums), Noise Levels correspondence, 2025
DEREK: I was living with Spider. We wanted to do a confused style of Japanese punk stuff. We played two shows and Danny recorded a demo at Zen Studios with his little 4-track and produced the shit out of it. Still sounds pretty cool.

DANNY: In that moment of the Sydney punk scene I was seeing a bit of an ugly phase of chemicals floating around. I didn't like it. I left Sydney and that was it.
