  2. ^ Bore (2005), pg. 14, "333nine of proto funk swelled arrogantly in the music of the Asterix, Sweet Little Sister (from PKU), V2up (from Australia and Indonesia), heavy Krank rockers, the haunting SLS (also on the Rkord label), SLS (from Indonesia), Monank (formed by members of SLS and Sweet's Butterfly), Bang, the relatively gentle Armada, the morbid Texas group Bad Apple Rock, Britain's long-running Budgie, and the Sersan Major Bad Apple Rock Records."
