KK Juggy and Chit Chat von Loopin Stab from inimitable Australian act Machine Gun Fellatio join Tim Shiel on Arvos to reflect on their career, particularly the Hottest 100 of 2002.

Strap in - KK Juggy and Chit Chat von Loopin Stab from provocative rock act Machine Gun Fellatio are in the studio with Tim.

It's been a long and hard 20 years since the chaotic musical troupe released their sophomore album Paging Mr Strike. Sure, their bodies might now be "decomposing" but their spirit is definitely still willing.

Tim's invited them into the studio to reflect on the impact their music had, including Hottest 100 Top 10 entries 'Rollercoaster' and 'Pussytown'.

"We were loose units in the day but when the curtain came up, we just gave it everything we could."

They've got plenty of stories. Join the ride with KK, Chit Chat, and Tim as they go through the wild instruments they used to record 'Pussytown', beating Eminem in the Hottest 100 of 2002, and how triple j flogging their album Paging Mr Strike helped pave the way for a whirlwind international career.
