MORE NERD-CORE: FIRST BAND ON THE WEB

Listened to all those Dr. Who fan songs from last week? Then you

should be ready to geek out on this:

A group founded by a secretary with no previous musical experience

that sings about science has automatic outside-music cred, but this

group can make an actual claim to history.

"Les Horribles Cernettes are the one and only High Energy Rock Band.

They sing about colliders, quarks, microwaves, antiprotons and

Internet," quothe their website, but they're not your usual nurds -

these ladies can honestly boast to being not only the first musical

group with their own website, but a picture of them was the first

image on the internet. Founded by a secretary at CERN Labs in Geneva,

Switzerland, they have a '60s girl-group style, even if the lyrics are

incomprehesible to the layman.
