They Should Have Died Years Ago (aka They Should’ve Died Years Ago) was a side-project from The Orange Cardigan featuring Paul Markz (vocals, synthesiser), Win Smith (guitar) and Niki Berlin (bass) – but no drummer!  They performed live three times – on each occasion the performance being wholly improvised without any prior rehearsal (and not including any of The Orange Cardigan material).
