...the key to this savage sideshow.


Much time has passed and things are only getting busier in my camp:

- Merchandise is doing a short east coast tour, beginning on 6/17. Lucky towns include: Gainesville, Richmond, NYC, Amherst, Philadelphia, and maybe somewhere in North Carolina. We will be armed with cheap keyboards and boxes of records+tapes from our myriad side bands. A new Merch LP is in its infancy.

- Dads (The Dads?) is back and more active than ever this Father's Day season. We've been recording hours and hours of new material, some of which will be released late summer/early fall on a 7" (Bubular Tubers b/w Shit on the Tracks), a collaboration with photographer Sam Falls. A NYC show is being discussed, as well as the premier D'ads full length LP. Stay tuned, then tune out.

- Neon Blud's summer tour has been cancelled and the band is on indefinite hiatus. Our LP is still supposedly going to be released soon, but details are scarce.

- the Church Whip demo tape has finally hit the streets. consult Corpse Without Soul for acquisition, or just come to one of the Merchandise shows and pick one up from us.

- Video Disease records is releasing two 7"s from two of my Atlanta projects: and Crooked Cross. These should be available for purchase within the next few months.

- ( ) or d. vassalotti or 'whatever you want to call it' has been recording constantly. an LP entitled "Book of Ghosts" has been completed and will be unleashed by the fine folk at Vinyl Rites later in the year. a new 12" single is also rumored to in development.

- i have very, very few remaining copies of my new(ish) zine "Eclectic Depression." i don't like going to the post office, so come visit me in my lonesome room to take a piece. a window into progressive neurosis and a bunch of dumb drawings.


as i said earlier, things are only getting busier.

time for bed.

"Renaldo and Clara" has ruined my life.
