These records cover the activities of subversive performers Descend Here from 2001-present. It should be noted that not every offence has been recorded, as the case against the band stands primarily on it's larger acts of social destruction and we do not wish to impede the progress of the case with small details.

June 14, 2001: First Descend Here gig at The Pallas Hotel, Northbridge with Krazie Kraze: Electro, Mstar (now known as The Plastik Scene) and some unknown cover band. Line up of Tomás Ford and Eleesha Green. This line up only plays one more gig, August 4 at The Blue Room in Northbridge for a Semikazi party, as Mark looks on in the audience, having joined the band on the week of the gig.
Rockus online magazine says of this performance:
                                                 "Descend Here brought some theatrical craziness to
                                                 the Theatre Room, complete with props and
                                                 costumes. Tom and Eleesha’s use of a backing CD
                                                 freed them up to make use of the whole stage area to
                                                 construct a performance that combined singing,
                                                 spoken word and some very harsh screams that got a
                                                 lot of peoples attention and completely flabbergasted
                                                 others. Definitely something to showcase the diversity
                                                 within the collective."
