CITY HUNTER, IRON LUNG, MORTIFERUM & NASTI in Seattle 6.29.19

We are doing a show with CITY HUNTER from Denver at Black Lodge on June 29th. Their first (and only?) Seattle show ever. No other shows in the area either. We are also doing an afternoon screening of ANGST ('83) that day at The Grand Illusion Cinema that will come with a show related mixtape available only at the screening. Limited seating available. Don't miss out. It's gonna be super sick.
No advance tickets for anything. First come first served.

NASTI in L.A.

We played a particularly angry set this night. Munchie is quite the crowd. Thanks as always to Michel Valdez at video protozoa for always shooting the good stuff.

NASTI & LEXICON open for FORWARD! 11.1.18 Seattle.

A couple crucial gigs happening in Seattle soon

May 26th will be a benefit for New Whoreizons which is an emergency fund for full service sex workers impacted by FOSTA. They pay bills, pay for medicine, food, anything directly related to survival for sex workers.

Both gigs should be positively fueled but rowdy affairs. Don't be squeamish, you're definitely invited if you are not a piece of shit.

2015 Top Ten plus however many more because I can do whatever I want.

The punks (and lesser types) never let me down when it comes to genre busting and general freekiness. There have been so many big things this year. Thankfully, a pigeon hole is not one of them. Life moves quick and changes even quicker so you have to pick your battles more carefully than ever. I suppose you could stumble through and be fine but the quality that comes with living that way is absurd and lacking. I choose the fringe. I choose passion. Even more, I choose the records that the passionate fringe produces.

Records are crazy expensive to make and to buy now but there is something magical about having that tangible artifact from your personal journey. Records rule okay? Buy them. But buy the good ones, the real ones, not those insipid Record Store Day reissues or major label avarice platters. Besides, with streaming and downloading being so easy, we don’t have spend all our dough building a huge vinyl collection just to hear our favorite tunes on a repeat basis.

Gathering new music these days can be like listening to that mystery mixtape the weird stranger kid leaves at the record shop randomly offering his accumulated tastes on anyone willing enough to listen. Hearing MARTIN DENNY’s ‘Misirlou’ next to JAMES GANG following JANKY and PATRICK FITZGERALD is not that uncommon any more. I fucking love that. I mean, it does take some curating but still the diversity these days is invigorating to say the least.

For me, music has always been about the energy and the vibe. Here is what got me this year:

L.O.T.I.O.N. - Digital Control And Man’s Obsolescence LP (Toxic State)
