Pest 5000 have all but disappeared from the face of the planet, having little if any information available online. The label, Montreal's Derivative Records, has disappeared and for all I know, this record was the last release on the label.

UPDATE: "Pest 5000 broke up after Palimpsest, but Patti Schmidt (their main singer and the host of Brave New Waves on CBC radio) and guitarist Kevin Komoda have a new and amazing band called the Nanobot Auxiliary Ballet (actually their whole name is much longer) that just put out a picture-disc LP on her new label Ta-Da.

Pest had one other album and a ton of singles. They were a wonderful live band, too. Violinist Genevieve Heistek is now playing with some GYBE!-related band, I forget which."

This song gets listed as a remix by Sisterhood of Convoluted Thinkers and thus I pass it along...

I haven't heard the original, but if the other remix of "Too Skinny" is any indication it's safe to say that Rob Christiansen (SOCT) put his stamp on the song adding his signature trombone playing, and vocals to the track.

Thanks to Douglas Wolk for the extra info.
