Julian Cope called them "the Banana Splits of noise"; Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mothers Temple), Hajime Koizumi and Asahito Nanjo (High Rise) kick out the jams on Chicago public access TV show Chic-A-Gogo in the late 1990's during a US Tour (thanks to Dylan Going for link).

Mainliner kicks asss! But I don't get the Julian Cope snark. Great rock turned up real loud = Banana Splits? Or was he specifically referring to this pathetic/funny video?
