Another article from Beat, this time about an gig upcoming in November called Cup Day Kaos, which is sponsored by the indie radio station PBS. This should be a huge gig, and I actually hope to get over for this one!! No author attributed.

Another article from Beat, this time a review of the aforementioned Short Attention Span. It reveals nothing about the Sandpit set (in fact, it's basically got two sentences on Sandpit), but it does tell that Stephanie writes all of Sandpit's songs. It praises "BL" (Brendan). No author attributed.

An interesting review this one. I put it in because Sci-Fi consists of former members of Sandpit and another of my fave indie bands that was (the broke up) on Fellaheen - Diolene. Written by Matt Attlee. ps: Warped and Midget were the headling bands - apparently Sci-Fi are pretty sludgy!!

Another interesting interview by Matt Attlee, this time done in January 1998, so after Along The Moors came out, but well before on second thought.

A lengthy article from Adelaide's dB Magazine - again an interview with Stephanie. Apparently Brendan REALLY didn't/doesn't like to do interviews. This has some good things, especially about the 70's/80's American sitcom influences of the earlier releases. Written by Jeremy Reglar
