Hi there Malaki

So how did you discover Therapy?

Hello all. Just so you know, I am extreemly jelous of a lot of you who have seen Therapy? live. I would so love to see them, but it is a bit hard when they don’t visit your country very often. :( I just consider myself lucky for discovering Therapy? oh so many years ago.

If you come over to the UK you can stay at my place!

Thanks for the invite, but I doubt that I’d ever get over to the UK. :(

Discovering Therapy? was a huge stroke of luck. Back in the early nineties (I’m guessing around ‘92-‘93) I was up late watching MTV for some reason or another and this killer song comes on (Screamager). Now, I barely caught the name of the band, and my memory is usually very fuzzy, but over the course of the next year or so, that song kept popping up in my head (I still to this day have not seen that video again). But, what really started my quest for this band was durring the MTV music (or movie) awards, going to commercial break they were playing Screamager in the background. I finally had to find this band!

Now, at the time I belonged to one of those music clubs where you get 12 CD’s free and then have to by so many within 2 years or something. So, I scouered through their catalouge and found this band called Therapy?. I sort of remembered the ‘?’ in the band’s name so I thought I would give it a try and see if the song was there.

So I bought the album “Nurse”.

So, my song wasn’t there, but I thought that the album was pretty good, though I didn’t quite sound like the same band as I was looking for, but in ways it did. I went to the catalouge and tried again, this time buying an EP titled “Hats off to the Insane”. I figured if the song wasn’t there, I would stop my search and look elsewhere. Well, when I recieve “Hats” and put it in my CD player, lo and behold, there was my song!

The thrill was amazing, and since then I have bought all their albums (thanks to my brother, who lives in a much larger city than I do and can get access to them. He also loves the band ever since I turned him onto them.)

Sorry that I went on so long, but you asked, so I told. :D

As for the meaning of Malaki…Its just a name that I use just because I liked the sound of it (I didn’t even know it was a real name). Since then, I’ve been told many different thing about it, but the only one I remember is that it is a name of a character from the movie, “Children of the Corn”.

Oh, yeah! I’ve been playing it every chance I get. This definatly busted into my number one Therapy? album slot! I just hope that it catches on over here in the States, cause Therapy? sure deserves the exposure.

Like I had said, I had only seen it that once, and it was around ten years ago. All I really remember is that the background was switching from black to white like a strobe effect.
