I'd love to know which single you have. I'm also glad to hear that we were "approachable". I like to think we were as well. We never took ourselves too seriously and appreciated everyone who came to see us. So many of the bands we played with were just straight up jerks. But it was fun while it lasted! http://www.freshdls.com

True or False: In Thing & Nothing, Simon Still's last name comes from your own line sung by Christmas, "Simon s(S)till holds his love for me." At first he was just Simon. ?

Posted by: Keith Leonard on 10-19-11 about Eye Teeth
Wow, can't believe information on this band still exists. Yes, Kevin stood off to the side of the stage. I played with Eye Teeth through the recording of Threnody and then I was kicked out. From my perspective, I wasn't in the black thing enough and I was in Kalamazoo for attending WMU and not necessarily chasing a dream of becoming a professional musician. In short, I was less serious about the band than the others so I didn't fit in. Kinda funny, just before they started to record their second CD, I was called in to write a bass line for a song/record it and then possibly rejoin. I wasn't a pick player and this seemed to be one of Todd's many requirements. At some point after I recorded with them an internal explosion occured with the remaining egos and so went the band. End of story...lol...

What is this small brown bike? And what is a Strutt? Is that the new Theo and Stacy's?
Also, Jeff, to have a 'side project' (or implausibly THREE) you first need a 'main project', which all of us here would be delighted if either/or of you started.

First of all, I just turned 39!..NOT 40! dammit..lets not jump the age here.
And thank you Brent for givin' the proper name...although all of you forgot the lauded 'E.' of the moniker. Some brief notes..Dustin did not record on the 4 song ep..he was on an album (technically unreleased) of 5 songs. Tom Ufkes was on the 4 song.
Me 'real' name now is Vegas J. Jenkins..the 'E. Trip' is for the folks in the audience. WooHoo!
I now have a band called 'Gooferman'...a 10-piece Klown band..yup, I said 'Klown' band. It was inevitable..anyone shocked at this..obviousley never knew me.
You can find us at the following:
Gooferman.com,Bohemiancarnival.net,myspace.com/goofermen,
theblight.net,pixievisionproductions.com and so on.
Anyhoo..this site is definitely a weird mind fuck from a time that feels like a distant dream.
Oh, and to put that rumor of Dustin and I being left in the cold off the Pansy Division tour..
here's what happened..D and I had no other engagements back home to get to after tour ended..we had a few extra days open. The other guys had to get back to work and other projects right away..so they drove straight back to S.F...while Dustin and I kicked it in Mich for an extra day to see folks and the like..then flew back after that.
This is why I don't believe the bible..too many story tellers tellin' too many stretched out fables.
Cheers

Went to K college in the glory days of Kalamazoo, love early TI and I Am Spoonbender, so i thought i'd post this here. Last summer i was in LA and San Francisco for work, and my boss took me to this restaurant in Hollywood where "the artists hang out". We were sitting there when Kirk from Metallica walked in with Dustin Donaldson (who i didn't recognize at first) and sat down a couple of tables over. I couldn't hear them much. They finished eating and Dustin went outside to call somebody. Hammett went to the bathroom so i went out to say hello and maybe talk kalamzoo. When i got there, Mike Patton walked up to Donaldson! Kirk joins the conversation. They all know each other well it seemed. Then i see a guy and a girl come out of a place from across the street, notice the group and poke each other. They sorta nervously come over, wanting to say something. Finally, they said "are you Dustin Donaldson!? OMG I Am Spoonbender are gods seen all your shows, etc". NOTHING to Hammett or Patton! man they were excited about meeting Dustin. He was excellent to them, signed autographs and then they all left to go to some gallery opening (i think they said). 5 days later i'm in Frisco, eating breakfast in the Mission District when who do i see but fucking Dustin D again, with Jello Biafra. had to say hi this time (and met Jello!) Donaldson said that recently he was working in Egypt on some 7000 year old cave stuff in the Sahara desert and said that Kalamazoo seemed like another lifetime long ago. awesome. --- end of previous message ---

Ah man still love to type "Rollinghead" in search engines. To see this little bit is great. Grew up in Kzoo and spent my entire teens stuck in the State seeing so many great acts. Worked at Bimbo's and spent almost an underaged lifetime at the Soda drinking Bell's Amber watching shows like Rollinghead, DRD, Killswitch (is Clements still alive?), Twitch, Mustard Plug, Thought Industry, even The Verve Pipe (even way back when they were Johnny with an Eye). Well anyways good to see people are still interested. I have every Rollinghead album here in Austin, TX with me. I should figure out how to upload all of them for others. Went to see Frank Black do a small show here in the ATX with a Rollinghead Tee on, he actually mentioned to me that they were from Kzoo.

I'd love to know which single you have. I'm also glad to hear that we were "approachable". I like to think we were as well. We never took ourselves too seriously and appreciated everyone who came to see us. So many of the bands we played with were just straight up jerks. But it was fun while it lasted! http://www.freshdls.com

The guitarist from Veronica Speedwell asked Bryers if he could use the name he said he didn't care but asked me if I cared I don't. I always thought Knives are Quiet should have just been called Bryers because he wrote everything and we were meat puppets. The live casette exsists but it was direct from the board and is nothing but vocals and snare and it sounds pretty much like poo... Correct you are about the Cure Cover tho.

..uh...there is a band called Knives Are Quiet with a Facebook page (and some updates regarding Grand Rapids area shows?) that does not appear to be Chris Bryers fronted. 1) What has this world come to? 2) Where is the audio of the Bryers fronted Knives Are Quiet? I seem to remember a Cure cover and other such obscure tuneage on their web pages of years past...

Funny I should come across this thread- I was the drummer for Confuse A Cat and remember Club Soda fondly. There were 4 of us, Jim (singer/rhythm guitar), Jen (bass), Cathy (lead guitar), and myself. We were indeed based out of Detroit. I'd love to know which single you have. I'm also glad to hear that we were "approachable". I like to think we were as well. We never took ourselves too seriously and appreciated everyone who came to see us. So many of the bands we played with were just straight up jerks. But it was fun while it lasted!
In response to: Carl on 02-19-09 for Club Soda calendars
Confuse a Cat was out of Detroit. Think they were a 3 piece(maybe 4) with at least one female. Can't be positive on that one. They were real approachable people though and I believe I still have their 7" in storage someplace. --- end of previous message ---

..and yeah, "Fantastic Zero" is godly...that whole 1st Act of the disc...*somehow* that album came together as a miraculous, definitive chapter in the sonic oeuvre, despite being on Grass Records : ) ....didn't Bryers say (in an interview way back) that the lyrics were somewhat inspired by horror movie ghoulies?

both "Nero Apologizes" and "Locomotive God" are mind-boggling, forward-thinking, magnificent works of grand mythic importance...I think I was around 17 when I bought 'Beaten Senseless...' and few albums have haunted me like that disc. Have I mentioned too many times that I *still* have my heather-grey Twitch shirt (ordered from Grass Records mail order)?

Nothing will ever compare to the first two T.I. releases...imo.
I really like stuff after that too, but that was a very important time for me to be listening to them.
I luckily saw them here in Minnesota on the "Mods" tour and it was AWESOME!
I am envious of fans that saw them multiple times.

So- in the lyrics to Black Umbrella- were those all typos as well? It's quite funny how they were thanked by Black Spring as "Though Industry". I'm not taking a shot at anyone- all this time I thought it was deliberate, like Desacrator. Was that done so the logo would be more symmetrical?
In response to: Culture Of None (Adam C Paul) on 06-10-10 for Thought Industry
As i recollect, "THE Thought Industry" was used on the (rather lamentable) cover art of the 'Recruited To Do..' comp.
Some of us in the Detroit area at first expected it was an in-house Metal Blade designer gaff. (I'd once asked Brent about spelling errors in the 'Outer Space..' booklet, and he replied "There weren't any spelling errors *when I turned them in*...")
Speaking of 'Martini..' - let's not overlook that the monolithic show-opener "Fairy" was (at least in riff) credited to Paul.
Any shred of TI insight is awesome, as always - much thanks to D. Richardson for sharing. It's always a pip to see folks mention "issues" w/ regard to Brent...poor fella was just trying to make his way through life : D --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message ---

Not to dispute Dave nor Chris in this bully-fine interview (thanks for posting!),
On post Mods albums being less of a group effort: if you scan the songwriting credits on Shortwave, besides Brent's monopoly on lyrics, that just about everybody chipped in on composition.
And I believe "THE Thought Industry" didn't appear until Shortwave either.
Sweetly,
Jeff the fact checker

Posted by: Dave Richardson on 06-06-10 about Thought Industry
Dave Richardson Hello everybody, I got in contact with Christopher Lee over the last week and asked him some questions that I was always wondering about. He was ok with me posting, so I thought you would all like to read it.
Chris said:
here ya go, post away;
1. Do you ever listen to Thought Industry, and if so, do you have any favorite songs?
Christopher-
No i don't listen to t.i.. Favs yes; favorite cd = Mods... favorite songs = Songs for Insects, horsepowered, daterape cookbook, boil, smirk the godblender, to build a better bulldozer, D.I.Y. tranquilizers, Watercolour gray.
2. The first two albums seemed to be a group effort, but after Mods, it seemed to change. Was this because Brent switched to guitar or was there less input from others?
Christopher-
well, S.F.I. was a trio effort ultimately. Brent, Dustin and I. We had a few years of creating, living and fighting between us and that gave great chemistry to our song building process. most of those songs had been in our repertoire since the late desecrator days. brent and i both wrote lots of songs parts, brent was a little better at making songs out of them in those days, so he would take my ideas and incorporate them into his, and some of my complete ideas became songs. dustin was always the one pushing the envelope to get a signature sound out of them. dustin didn't really write any music per-say, but his influence and energy would prove to be sorely missed after we let him go. he was brents counter balance in many ways. i digress... so S.F.I. was written over years and recorded in a week... lame! Metal Blade sucked!! anyway, i played all of the guitar parts on that album except for pauls leads and i think some acoustic stuff. so was it a group effort, not completely, it was the 3 of us pushing our agendas and slighting paul a bit. he was very new at that time. Mods... that was a group effort album. paul wrote some and played his own parts, i had written more complete song ideas, brent was coming into his own vocally and structurally, and dustins artistic input was top notch. DD's sonic input really pushed our approach into that TI sound. Ken Marshall really helped capture that too. touring really shoved a wedge between dustin and the rest of us. he really wanted to be "the guy" and the rest of us were peaking in our own musical ways at that time so, the ego flare-ups were unbearable. So we decided it was best that dustin move on to pursue his own agendas. brent had some "issues" at that time that really hindered the bands cohesion and started to get much worse upon dustins separation. so long dirty story short, brent quit playing bass. this was the beginning of the end for me. i had about 20 songs for the next record, i think paul and brent did too. in the end the "issues" were too much for the band, and i opted out just after a couple tours for O.S.I.J.A.M.A.. that album was mostly brent and i writing and struggling, paul was cut short once again, and the other guys were just players and didn't have the original chemistry that made TI cool, in my opinion. after that, he (brent) should have changed the name. which he sorta did, to THE thought industry...
3. Did you like Dustin's playing or was it hard to write or play with such a busy player (I ask this as a drummer). Did you think the musical direction was better when Dustin was in the band?
Christopher-
i think i answered this in the previous question, but YES! without doubt, dustins playing was essential in TI's style. We should have gotten some sort of group therapy and worked out our ego issues, but in the end it all happened for the best. i am a busy player myself. i am now a drummer as well as a guitarist etc... and i play very much in that style.
4. Who's idea was it to pan guitars hard left/right on MODS? And was it because you and Paul were doing such different things...esp on Boil?
Christopher-
hmmm... well i guess that idea was lennon and mccartneys!? seriously though.... but metal at that time was that way; slayer, metallica, anthrax, etc... it was the norm. still is really.
5. Why did you leave Thought Industry and do you ever miss playing with past members...who would you play with again?
Christopher-
Jeez... I can't answer that question with complete honesty because it would be damaging to some people. let's just say that the aforementioned "issues" were typical, always end the same way, and i was having no part of it anymore. plus, i had an offer to play with FILTER. if you remember in all the bio bullshit TI released after i quit, they said i left due to problems living in chicago... well, the problem was i would drive 2.5 hrs to kalamazoo, every week, couple times a week, to rehearse as scheduled and people were too bust getting drunk/high/laid to honor the agreed practice schedule. ya see, the deal was i would get us a chicago base and they would come there to live and grow. anyway, i met an old friend (geno from chemlab) and he was in FILTER at that point, so we worked together on some material, and that lead to me getting the offer to do Title Of Record. So when the final straw fell, i just walked away from TI very easily... sad really... but for the best. i got a platinum award out of it! and a shit ton of work after that. who would i play with now? well that would depend on who's being real and who's not. Dustin for sure! Jared and Paul i would like to. it's funny you ask... i had an investor about 5 years ago that's a very famous/powerful/rich dude that just loves TI to no end, and he was willing to pay for us to reunite, record, and tour, all on his dime. but when i tried to make contact with some of the TI peeps, i got negativity and emptiness. so i dropped it. i ultimately didn't really feel it was a good idea anyway.
6. If you were asked (probably for a chunk of money) to write and record a new Thought Industry album (no touring, just a new album) with Brent, Dustin, Paul and you...would you do it?
Christopher-
see previous answer. but i guess the answer might be yes. i am very busy producing bands/artists, writing and recording songs, and i have no desire to interrupt that. dustin and i had mentioned it through email once, but neither of us ran with that ball. honestly, i have this project TEN TON ROLLER-SKATE that is a big $ maker. It's gonna take a lot to pull me off of that tit at the moment. but if the price was right, and the atmosphere was clear, i'd probably do it. shit, i've got about 200 complete songs recorded that would make great new TI stuff. basically anything that doesn't make the bullhead cut.
7. I see your list of projects on the myspace site:
http://www.facebook.com/l/a7258;www.myspace.com/christopherleesimmonds
Which of these available on cd or download?
Christopher-
all are available, though the bullhead collection is currently in wait due to a potential label deal as a multi cd release.
the static dynamic - the static dynamic
bullhead - scalp
bullhead - taurus
snuttock - straight jacket life
snuttock - carved and sutured
filter - title of record
ten ton roller-skate - (T.B.A.) soon
christopher lee simmonds - the devils only love (T.B.A.)
8. Who do you listen to these days. And what are some of your biggest influences/favorite guitarists?
Christopher-
as always, peter gabriel, meshuggah, deftones, fredrik thordendals special defects, ani difranco, devin townsend/strapping young lad, steve vai, skinny puppy/ohgr, this list could go on... I am more influenced by drummers these days; martin agren, owe lingvall, tomas haake, carter beauford, ray luzier, terry bozzio, john macalusso.
thanks for your questions Dave! I'm always available for any TI friends/fans conversations.
So let me ask you and anyone else that cares to answer a question; of all the former TI members post TI bands, whose your favorite? I personally dig I Am Spoonbender:)
And for the record; 111MZD was just an ordinary Michigan license plate. nothing more... so silly.

I watched most of "This is It" the other night ($4.99, OnDemand) and the dude who plays bass can fucking THUMP the bitch. Wait about 45 minutes in after they pass "the way you make me feel" shit and they get to motowny stuff.
Also, he's hired a blond female guitarist who is like a hot version of Lita Ford from "Kiss me deadly" days. She pulls off Eddie Van Halen's solo flawlessly w/r/t no tits/ditz compromising her wank.
MJ himself is surprisingly spry for a 50 year old man/alien/child molester/corpse. That dude can really dance and sing. Too bad he freaked the fuck out instead of working on his music.

I use to work with Dave Grant at the KIA and watch Rollinghead/Deadriverdrag play at Club-Soda all the time. Rollinghead is one of my most listend to cd's still today. I wish I could have been there to see them again.
I played Bass for the Bremmens and have a lot of fond memories of the music scene back in the day.
We would be kickin in walls at Lovell street house to Thought Industry, then be trippin at the God Bullies place and end up toaking our way back Oak street to jam with Maureen and Adam and the Bremmens clan all night long.
I'm going to have to get back to Kazoo sometime. --- end of previous message ---

john, i've woken up with years gone and no memories of what transpired. if you remember the 90's you weren't there i suppose. and especially the late great 80's. anyway, no harm done. i just cringe when i see my name mentioned in anything really. as if i didn't already have an entire lifetime of embarrassing moments to live down. didn't realize you were a band manager tho. interesting.

s/revisionist history/lost brain cells and a penchant for over-writing - "revisionist history" implies will and purpose.
Sometimes the details of my memories are off. Sometimes I was given bad information back then. Sometimes I pick a word that has implications I hadn't considered profound (like "betrothed" instead of "girlfriend").
Sometimes I wonder if I was there at all, or if it's all some head-trauma induced hallucination fueled by long-forgotten dreams of changing the world and too much LSD during the first Bush administration.
There are days when I favor the latter theory...

John, seems to be alot of revisionist history happening here. We were all in a small town where everyone pretty much knew everyone else during different stages of life. but for the record i was never ever 'betrothed' to anyone. i just did what every other horny 19 year old did at the time, which is to see as many people as possible and try to get away with it. lol --- end of previous message ---

Hi. The trouble with being a stupid spammer is that poop vomits out of my brain at inopportune moments. Like that time I was at the DMV and I asked the 45 year old woman if she wanted to have a larger P3N15 for free just by visiting my website: gwww.giantdonkers4free.com. Gosh, I wish I had a robot brain.

great musicians...to date the most fun I ever had playing music...I loved playing in every instance, but playing with these guys was a blank canvas, and they humored my input enough toi make me feel like I had a purpose in contributing. I loved the guns, and the fact I could play the music face down drunk most of the time...I loved Table because I played with my closest pals...and TI was always fun to tour...wish I would have taken that more seriously...oh well...hind sight and all;) funny to hear these songs again. I left the band just as we were starting to gel. I think if I would have continued with Gary and Steve and Kevin, I would have produced some of the best drumming...they really brought it out in me.

I belonged to a leseer knon band named Uncarved Block we were sort of Taoist but know I regret using the analogy for Pu for a Trojan band that conqured the people of the Kalamazutra river, orwhateva. anywaiegh all hail the jewel in the heart of the lotus flower, power to the speaker. Any photos of us you may share are copywrite free and fell free to use them or boots to commerate our history for cyber-drunks and zippies. I'll send in some fleyers, we played with Konichi-wa, and also opened for thought industry and our last show was with the Godbullies. To bad our town turned so culture free; I liked the community filled with culture for regular and other soda people who found light in other people's hearts. If anyone wants to cause a scene, I'm still a singer and an industial programmer, we could get together and breathe love into the trees of Kalamaghana with some musicand gathering, I love your site, I had the same idea, preserving the People's history of the river and preseving recordings for as long as there are servers and IBM's. I can also help open a club providied we have a festival to raise money for molk and honey and o mani. Also considering Gibson guitar has a plant here shouldn't we have a Hard Rock Cafe? Happiness from plainwell - I'm seious about a club, it could be a great gift///

I remember them, seems like they were around earlier on, more during the Worhead-era scene when a lot of the local bands were still very heavy on metal covers and not doing a huge amount of original music yet.

Just checking in...things are slowly going on, and as a few folks already knew I'm back in the 'zoo since July and am...well, heartbroken wouldn't be too strong a word to describe it. Everything's GONE. Time to get to work.
I was just catching up on my reading and wasn't going to bother posting but saw Karla's remarks...accuracy I'll take a hit on all day, lord knows I've lost some brain cells over the years. Hell, let's not mince words: I should be dead by all rights and it's a miracle that I can remember my own name sometimes. If I've misremembered or mis-sequenced something important, everyone please feel free to set the record straight.
Not sure what I might have said to make Karla think she looked bad, but whatever it was it was purely unintentional and I apologize profusely.
Historical errors I can live with, but unintentionally insulting someone or hurting their feelings is something else entirely. As the insult was apparently public, so should be the apology, and I hope that fixes whatever I broke.

thanks Rich. Maybe i'll get around to putting together Checker Records info for here and i'll send in the uno comp, inourselves/jihad and the never released Deconstruction LP.

That's the song I speak of, Paul... The one from the UNO comp.. I somehow recall it being about specific people but... Yeah. Good song.
In response to: tony party on 08-27-08 for Fletcher
i don't remember anything hitting bill. in fact bill was our very first drummer for a couple hours or so but O A was demanding too much time from him . there is a song on the UNO comp that hits back at some of the rhetoric that was plopping about in those days.

This may rival the radio spot for twitch at the State Theatre that sounded like an advertisement for a monster truck show.
In response to: Jeff Till on 10-19-09 for all
So Craig Verity sent me a tape he had of a WIDR show featuring pre-1993-Kalapalooza interviews with a group consisting of myself, Brent O, Chris Bryers, Charles Bradford, Willie Axe, and Dean Van Dyke. I had to turn it off three times because I felt so stupid. This crowd would make for a good bachelor party, but made a pretty boring and innane radio segment. I was a total waste, and I can even be smart and funny given the chance. Bryers did most of the talking and was the meanest of the bunch.
A big theme was "who got picked to play and who didn't" as it was asked of both the interviewer and a caller, to which Brent and others explained in great detail about ticket revenues and objectivity and blah blah. Let me clear it up: we were all friends; we lived in the same house for chrissakes.
Anyways, I'm not sure I'm going to post it. Maybe radio is temporary for a reason. --- end of previous message ---

word!!
what this guy said is SOOOO true- there was a very cool and diverse music scene in K-zoo during the early 90's- From Resin Mattress to the Jah Kings K-zoo had it all. Though... I heard that some of the people in certain bands ended up in a Mental Institution.. I'm not gonna name names cuz that's not cool- but suffice it to say they were in Grunge bands.

I went to a lot of thought industry shows back in the day and the vibe I got from the band was that they were megastars and I was lucky to even be allowed to pay the cover and get in. Very late starts to the show didnt help. Brent Oberlin is better suited being an accountant or whatever he got a degree in. They had a great original sound but you have to achieve something before you are a superstar. --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message ---

I use to work with Dave Grant at the KIA and watch Rollinghead/Deadriverdrag play at Club-Soda all the time. Rollinghead is one of my most listend to cd's still today. I wish I could have been there to see them again.
I played Bass for the Bremmens and have a lot of fond memories of the music scene back in the day.
We would be kickin in walls at Lovell street house to Thought Industry, then be trippin at the God Bullies place and end up toaking our way back Oak street to jam with Maureen and Adam and the Bremmens clan all night long.
I'm going to have to get back to Kazoo sometime.

So come on out. There will be limited-edition product. Yep. You heard me. PRODUCT. Cleaned up and prettified and put on a CD with cover art and everything. It's not all their stuff, but it's a nice 21-song collection of old and new. And, for now, it's only available at the show. so show up. WHOOP!

I enjoyed Thought Industry very much and I think that they were very talented and original. But going to a show and watching Brent walk around before they perform and refuse to acknowledge anyone speaking to him was hilarious to watch. I'm surprised he didnt have a few bodyguards with him to rough up anyone who got too close to him. And looking at the posts on this site it doesnt surprise me that he had the attitude that he did. Everyone seems to have a story about how Brent looked at them or how he was only 100 feet away from them back in 92. Oh boy how exciting Brent ignored me one night. you guys are name dropping people who arent even remotely famous!!
In response to: Jim Cherry the Daffy Duck dipshit on 09-02-09 for Owsla

DUCK SEASON FIRE! and BOOM!!! you blew my Duck bill right off my face. I get it now- so... I'm supposed to say "I got PUNKED by Jeff Till- Hook line and sinker! You played me like a Fender Bass and I fell into your web of pranksterness. I bow to your higher intellect.
I will say that in my defense the whole reason I was fooled by what you were saying is because back in the day everyone in Kalamazoo always said you were the biggest asshole they ever met. You played the part so well recently that even I fell for it- Kudos to you Mr. Till- I think this is the most fun your web-site has seen in a while- heh??

Jim Cherry hates Chris Bryers and thinks he sucks it. So sad. Why do you hate Chris so? Some people who visit this site think Chris is good musician, singer and songwriter. Perhaps you should just go back to your Creed albums or whatever if you despise Bryers so much. Thanks in advance.

You can be mean, Jim, it just has to be funny too. If you are critical and genuine, even while paying extensive fellatiating back-hand compliments, people will mistake you for being sensitive and intraspective. And then no one will sleep with you. Sorry.
In further defense of Owsla, the posted tracks are unfinished demos with scratch vocals (no reverb even) that aren't presented as a finished release, but more as curios for us collectors and fans. Chris had urged me not to post them, but I insisted.

Jim: If you don't have something nice to say... I only saw Owsla play once, and only less Cathartic than "kiss me mary anne" was an incredible version of "The Beautiful Ones" which was as good as I've seen Chris or anyone else do in kzoo. So there. But, really, Chris is so cook that he even has rebound bands. Ghost Stories is indeed cool (and hopefully more to come here soon)
Joby: When your slow leak launch is done, put a package together and we'll post and promote and share here.

just when you think he's made his best Album he comes out with another one to top it- Ghost Stories is THE SHIT! anyone who liked his last Album (Hazel and the Black Rabbit) will not be disapointed with this new Album "Ghost Stories". I've been listening to it non stop for the last 3 days and it's the kind of Album that just keeps getting better and better- just when i think I have a favorite song another one will just hit me and I'll be blown away again and again- this kid has an endless well of talent to write great songs- he's truly gifted

I thought this band was one of the best bands I'd ever seen when Paul Wartella was in it- Paul W was a close friend of mine and of all the bands he played in he told me this was his favorite band to play with- He had mad respect for Bryan Charles- I always thought Skip and Bryers should have started a band together- They would have been the Lennon/MacCartney of Kalamazoo-
I only saw this band 3 times but they were definately one of my favorite bands I'd ever seen
Reply to this message |
Posted by: jim cherry on 08-30-09 about Owsla
uhh... yeah... all I remember about Owsla was that I drove 6 hrs round trip from Saginaw (with my then new girlfriend) and all the way to K-zoo I was telling her about my friend Chris Bryers who was the shit & rocked my world in a band called TWITCH-
Bryers came up to me after the show and asked me what I thought about the show and being the honest friend that I am I told him the truth- "I want me 4 bucks back since I wasn't on the guest list. It was alright... I mean... It didn't suck or anything but... it wasn't what I wanted to hear- It didn't move me"
I just listend to these songs you've got posted and I'm still not impressed- sorry... and I'm Bryers biggest fan next to maybe Jobi P- I just felt like Owsla was a rebound band until he could find his groove again- and then SLEET came out later and I thought- yup! he's back.
so there it is... Owsla was like that girl you dated after a big break up because you were afraid of being alone.
the thing is- Bryers is such a grreat song writer that even his mediocure stuff STILL sounds awsome to most people- but I'm not most people... so...
his new Album "Ghost Stories" is amazing - ALL of his solo stuff is just incredible- check it out if you haven't already.

Rollinghead show was great, couldn't walk six feet without running into somebody. My favorite comment of the night was from Dave James "I'm not at all surprised to see you here" haha the sound guy left something to be desired but they still undeniably have it. Cameos by Roche, Charlie (impromptu albeit) and Bryers. A little warm out there with such a flippin huge crowd but Oberon was had on the cheap. A great time wish there were more like it more often.

it was 1993 all over again. despite some early guitar tuning trouble, the show went off w/o a hitch. the band seemed tight and sounded as if they hadn't taken a 15 year break. they were very grateful (and seemed surprised) at the number of people in attendance. we had to wait 20 minutes at the door as the doorman said they were at capacity. we had about 25 people in line behind us. the crowd was into it, the music was great, and the weather was perfect. well worth my $7 cover. thanks bill, dave, dave, dean, and willy! when's the new album come out???

May everyone have a bully time at the Rollinghead show tonight. I bet Bells will be too small of a place for this (and I've never been there before).
Let me say that you THINK you want them to play 60 seasons, and favorite killer, and long black feeling,
but maybe you should really want them to play "lazy", "I made up a movie" and "Parasites" and "Stars",
But you should really wish to hear the brand new album worth of the new songs Dave and crew have been writing since 1995

Noah - feel free to write your own Top 10 list and put Cam up there at #2. Maybe 'best musicians' or 'most vocal insomniacs'. Or maybe best 'drummer + guitarist', which, besides Cam and Mike, include Halsey (Thumper), Ron Muniz, myself (others?)
Geoff - weren't the Helmet guys all reputedly music school fags, covorting with the likes of John Zorn..? I have a vague memory of the urban legend.

This is really funny to me, and I figured might be funny to this group too.
Out here in Portland, there's a farm that hosts cheap, family friendly entertainment on Thursdays during the summer. You bring a blanket and a picnic, walk around and pick blueberries, go for hay rides, chase roosters, bump elbows with Portland's breeding contingent.
On a recent visit, we enjoyed a 30's era jazz group that featured Henry Bogdan, original bassist for Helmet playing Hawaiian steel guitar. I don't even know where to start the ironic commentary, there are so many directions to come at it, so I'll leave you all to your own imaginations and say that it was more wholesome than you could possibly imagine.

After watching a very informative programs on the lives of civets, I have come to the conclusion your hint was a hoax.
If it were not a matter of dire import that he be found, I would have given up the search long ago.
His half of the Krugerrands will not bury themselves,and though I could find alternative buskers to fill his position in the traveling show, I just cannot convince myself it would be the same.
He needs to know that I have captured C. Haskey, and have brought him here to my desert of desserts, but I have already delved deeper into dangerous details than is decorous.

This means you'll be there right? Girl, are you back in town? It seems like someone/something tells me you are around. I would love to see you and hopefully you'll be at the show. We have lots of friends coming into town for this show and I can hardly wait! Do you have digits/info on Leslie? I would love to see you guys. Peace....Shauna

Les burned me a copy of LBF some months ago and have been enjoying ever since. Can't wait to see who will turn up @ show...Tom Griffoen? Andrew F. Bennett? Tom Fuller? (Hey dude you need to call me!)

jim jones is still missing by design.
you can often times find him on television and radio giving the community at large a solid tongue lashing/invitation.
i believe he finds hiding in plain sight the premier therapy for his orbital hip-bone.
i can only suggest watching the discovery or documentary channels in the near future to find his hidden port o' call.

Confuse a Cat were approachable. At one show, I glommed on to one of the band members, all excited by the Python reference... he didn't seem to mind at all. Detroit bands seemed (seem) to come in two variations, great mates or total assholes.Jabberwock (I think the calendar listing is a misspelling, I'm too lazy to dig up my proof right now) deserve to be listed under "Leppotone itself"... I think they'd be surprised to be found listed as/with "Weekenders"!Sinatras played at least a couple of shows with Jabberwock. I found out, quite belatedly, that they'd pressed a small-hole 7" single on the Leppotone imprint, which carries the same label # as the debut Sinatras 7". I was totally unaware of the abandoned release (and I'm unclear as to why it went unreleased) until I worked with T Gregor at Flipside in '98... he showed up one night with copies of the damn thing! We decided to sell about half a dozen double-packs of both LT-002 singles as a 2-fer super-cheap, wish you were there!At any rate, Tony went on to Monster Zero with Matt S., if I'm not mistaken. I'm not mistaken that the two of them were 2/3 of the Rural Electrification Act, a superb trio on whose CD I would have played keys if I hadn't been in new-dad mode, not willing to take on extra recording duties... I still remember turning Matt down on the phone... having heard the resulting CD, I regret the decision. RIP REA.

I don't think the library copies are replacements, and I think it is a bully fine idea to have the materials there.
I thought my use of the term 'quaint' was accurate and considerate though. It means (from the dictionary): "Charmingly odd, especially in an old-fashioned way".
While whomever is at the library, be sure to bookmark the 'temple on the library's computers.
Thanks Joby, I will get them up. You are a valued servant to the scene (Obama talk).

Gee, sorry it seems quaint for libraries to want to make (questionably) historical material available to people who don't have access to internet download privileges... or did everyone here forget what it was like to not be able to afford certain tools and networks of communication that allowed one to get at what they wanted when they wanted? People who own beat-to-hell Discmans, who still want to hear the sounds of bands who they might have seen, or heard of through their friends, or PARENTS, or parents' FRIENDS, do indeed borrow materials through the "quaint" services of their public library, and, since they're not flying any rocket ships today or tomorrow, enjoy seeing and hearing the genuine artifacts of "Girth" or "Daddyhorse" or etc., liners, graphics, and all. Didn't think asking for more was an archaic, or even rude, request.
Also - one can be anonymous at Leppotone now, so feel free to fire ammo there anon'ly if the site doesn't acknowledge your desire to be present there (why would it if you're not going to Outback?). Truly, I'm not to be trusted as a rep of any site or clique, so caveats if it seems I was "calling" anyone out on behalf of Leppotone, as anyone trawling there knows that site's full of all kinds of fuckin' foolishness. Personally, I'm really just trying to get the LT site's "clique"'s scene fully represented among the materials available at a lending library that serves a populace that still lives in the city that cared about most of you once upon a time (and do perhaps still, regardless of your exotic domestic locales now and in the future), and would be happy to have your hard-copy artifacts among its collection.

Personally, I'm really just trying to get the LT site's "clique"'s scene fully represented among the materials available at a lending library that serves a populace that still lives in the city that cared about most of you once upon a time (and do perhaps still, regardless of your exotic domestic locales now and in the future), and would be happy to have your hard-copy artifacts among its collection.

So far we've only had a few imposters, so I'm not too concerned yet. The really old TI board had them so badly it had to be shut down.
Leppotone uses sign ons, (oddly, my account was never validated, let me in guys!) I decided not to use one so that people could post more easily and hopefully more.
Not to be flip, but being available for loan at the library seems a bit quaint compared to downloadable for free everywhere on line. It's like getting a new buggywhip for your rocket ship.
Steffen, does 'flaming' mean 'good' in Denmark?? After all of the homo references on Mods, we should be precise...

so once again... I will NOT use my real name anymore on this site so anyone using the name Jim Cherry is a liar. Don't pay attention to them.
I'll give anyone tons of cash if they tell me who this imposter is so I can beat him with a pillow full of soap bars.

Jim is half right. I don't recall chatting with the history prof, tho' I may have, and forgot, no offense to Dr. Hyland (who, if reading, should note that, while professionally otherwise, I'm a rocker, memory loss and all). However, I've been trying to get a decent collection of local music, regardless of vintage, available for loan at the KPLiberry for, oh, a decade-plus now. (The Doxie CD, by the way, was donated to us by a certain Paul R. half a decade ago - it goes out quite a bit, but always comes back, not always the case for other bands' releases I find at Goodwills, buy and donate, then the liberry loses - privacy laws prevent me from revealing thieves' names, but I know who you are/were.)
I've been half-assed about asking those trawling around these parts - could we please have your CD? (We have a bunch... check the catalog to see if you're an author search, akin to John Updike and Bryan Charles!) The liberry doesn't want T's and flyers, etc. - we're not interested in archiving, we're interested in making work available for borrowing. Has to be a CD at this point. Which means we need special releases from FAQ, Catharsis, VA, etc. We've accepted CD-R's... just give us some nice artwork... liners are a bonus. It's your history.
By the way, at least one of those bands of "standup dudes" invited the smallish audience attending a show the Sinatras headlined out to a party immediately after their opening set, wiping out much of our audience, since the band was much more "user-friendly" than we three. Thanks! "I know that you're leaving, as soon as you get paaaaid"- Nirvana, "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle"

Yeah, I was draggin my feet a little on this one I guess, but now that you've created a new category, I say why not? 15 years later I think we're all old and experienced enough to acknowledge that some pretty fundamental differences existed between bands like THE ERJ and bands like TWITCH, but I remember most of those guys and they were always standup dudes and deserve to be included.

Muchas gracias, my friend. I'm pressing up 100. Western's library and K'zoo public library are taking a bunch off my hands. Can you believe it? There is a history prof at WMU who is building some kind of pop culture archives focusing on local art and music. Ch*fe put him in touch with me. His name is Roger Hyland, and he's also working with K*rl from the Sinatras who is helping put together a similar collection at the public library. I think they will be contacting you real soon. They want everything from flyers to old VHS stuff to t-shirts.
As for the "lost album," Halsey doesn't want it to be a CD-R. He wants to do a real sweet release with liner notes and old photos. I told him he should do picture disc. Ha ha.

Heads up everyone: I'm putting out a Doxie retrospective DVD full of candid interviews, concert footage and behind-the-scenes mayhem. Should be a lot of fun. First 50 copies will come with CD-R of the group's aborted EP collab with InOurselves. This is really intense, kind of like Weezer meets Tool.

Villain~!
Yeah, now that you refresh my memory I do, in fact, recall something about a broken toe/foot and a stool. That whole gig was madness. I'm not sure why the paper didn't get spread around more...Danny Boy and Opus may have been aware of it and held off, or might have stayed behind and enjoyed...I honestly don't remember any more. Was definitely a good time, though.
Unfortunately after I left town in '94 I pretty much lost touch with everyone. Dumb move, really, but I was trying to 'do the right thing.' Probably would have been better off if I'd stayed in town. Then again, I might well be dead by now, and I'd have missed some fairly cool things. Haven't heard anything out of Dan or Opus or Matt in a decade and a half, and nobody seems to know what happened to ol' Davey "Manson" H. after Suiciety broke up and he split.
F'n Stoops', man. If I ever get rich I am so buying that building. Even though it's a horrible investment property and needs hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of work to be made anything but an unheated furniture warehouse.
Didn't Brad come down and take promo photos of us at one point? Wonder whatever happened to those. Or all those tapes Jimmy Black is probably still sitting on. We must have taped pretty near every time we picked up instruments - seems like something would have survived *somewhere* other than on my one badly-weathered and half-taped over video.
As far as "managing" anything or anyone about that band, including myself...it was a fun exercise in futility, but still a futile one lol. Still, it gave me something to do between periods of my own playing (much like my late-90's excursion into the pro wrestling business - I actually got a Thank You on the WWE 2-Disc OMEGA DVD, I'm all famous and shit now), and I don't care what Overjef says I still think you guys were kicking out some of the most energetic, ass-kicking tunes around. "Eternal Dream" and "Freedom" and the "last time I'll ever do this" song that I can never remember the name of...face-ripping covers of Janes and Motorhead and Cheap Trick and even ol' Gordon Lightfoot for the love of pete.
Then again I was always more into the straight-ahead "heavy blues-based rock" (™ Matthew "Cap'n Ron (Jeremy)" Bogema) a'la Pearl Jam/Soundgarden, where it seemed like most of the local scene was either more punk/hardcore or more art/prog than what I was personally in to. It's nice to be able to say 'yeah, I can play 64th-note ride cymbal patterns at 320bpm,' but for me it was always about the groove, the heart and soul underneath all the noise. Far as I'm concerned, that's requirement number one - not to say that musicianship is unimportant, but if all you do is play fast with no feeling, you're fuckin' Yngwie Malmsteen, ya know? Which great, guy's got his niche, but I get off harder on the solo break from "Reach Down" by TotD than on Malmsteen's entire career, just because you could tell they were playing from their hearts rather than their brains or their dicks.
Didn't either you guys and X's4I's Rob, or X4I with Dave, pull off a cover of "Hunger Strike" at Soda about 8 months before the video was released, or is that just another one of those fuzzy memories again? (I still have no f'n idea what that song's supposed to mean, and I still love it.)
Damn good to see you again, man. Drop by my site and add whatever links you've got, tell stories, whatever you wanna do. The soap opera continues to churn ever onward.
(PS: *I* resent Matt for not doing more with GB; it was a very solid band with some very cool and accessible tunes. I mean, I'm over it, it was 15 f'n years ago, but we should have been playing out long before the end, IMO.)

On the same bill? Someone refresh my memory on how Matt B. went from one to the other?
Awesome collection here - I remember Coville having to lend Urge Overkill his guitar because theirs had all been stolen the night before in Windsor or Toronto or some damn thing. Attendance was not spectacular that I recall - this was a couple of years before UO hit with "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon."
And there's ol Sky Juice (true story: I booked them and Four Peace in to Peppers for some strange reason, and they showed up with *no drums*) on a bill with TI, and Selling Heaven/Twitch with their Tongue sticking out. It's so nice to know I didn't hallucinate all this stuff...ZnoWhite was the band of Messers Garnett, Warne, and Fox after their previous gig, I believe, but before that band that eventually became Remnant.
Flyer from the Desacrator show would be choice ;-) Would also be cool if anyone has tape/flyers from the big show at the State in August of 07, there were like 10 or 12 bands on the bill including Doug G's band that I can never remember the name of (even though I can remember like 4 others he was in), and I'm pretty sure that Desacrator was on that bill as well.

So amazing to have seen Bryers walking down the street in Hollywood one day...Got to see them play at the Whiskey. Had no idea they were even out there. I just happen to decide to go see a gallery showing of photos taken by Dennis Hopper and saw Chris walking down the street. He said Hey, we have a gig at the Whiskey. Gwen Stefani and Gavin were both there and stood right behind us of course they were there to see some other band they played with but I think she liked 'em. Funny, that reminds me of a twitch gig at the Club Soda where D'Arcy came up and asked me "Which one is Chris Bryers?" I told her, the one with the sweet voice of course! Ok I think I really said, "that one" and pointed at him but you get my point.

Jeff, I just got hold of 'Birds' when it posted on the Temple; tho I'd already heard easily half the tracks via Bryers' myspace page.
What I realized today - driving in the Michigan snow & listening to 'Ku Ku Bird' - is how many VERY memorable melody lines and hooks Chris has been able to conjure: especially with the Sleet stuff, but even back to Owlsa, etc. Mega song-writing talents, I would argue.
By the way, I have an original FA-Q record album with a ton of press-kit / photos / reviews / zine stuff in the sleeve. Got it for 25 centimes at an LP shop years back.

Is Brent more elusive? Both he and Bryers are up two albums since 9/11 (cutting it close though)

I've heard from a reliable source that there is a plan or intention to finish those recordings. Stay tuned!
In response to: cultureofnone on 01-13-09 for Cosmonaut
late in the life of the Cosmonaut website, there was a post that some post-Pipebomb Full of Nails demos/recordings were soon to be posted/shared...I think they were just instrumental tracks w/o Brent, tho. Anyone ever get a hold of these? They should be put here on the Temple :) --- end of previous message ---

So *that's* what happened to Spider. I remember her blowing me, Jason, and Mike away in..must have been summer of '87 when she showed up to audition for us and whipped out "Diary of a Madman." On keyboards. In time.
Hope she's well, wherever she ended up.

When I first found this place, or maybe when I first found TASMLab even, I promised a story of a gig in chicago and some enriched paper.
This is that story.
So Four Peace is doing their first gig in Chicago at a place called the "Dance Factory." Was an old utility or manufacturing floor or some crap where the main space was a dance club, but then they had this kind of side-room thing with a rollaway wooden door where they had live bands. The show had been co-booked by a guy named Ralph Wallace in Chicago who ran an outfit called ROMP, that later led to FP trading some gigs back and forth with Wickerman and Deep Blue Dream.
This was probably the strangest booking ever. The original bill was FP, something called Peacefrog, and a reggae band called "Dub Dis." We weren't sure if maybe Ralph hadn't bothered even listening to the tape we sent him, but it was a paid gig, and it was Chicago, so you know how that goes.
We all load up - the band, Opie (Dan J's drum fish), J. Peake (that huge dude that used to handle all Matt B's gear), me (I was playing some kind of manager/booking agent/general hanger-on for 4P at the time, as I was drumless - an unfortunately recurring theme for me), some females, and this cat who I will call B who used to take promo pix of a lot of the bands in the area (you guys know who I mean, I know you do. Copy shop), and we get in a truckin convoy and head for the Windy City.
We get there waaaay early with a UHaul full of gear, and Dave H. breaks out the grill he'd brought along and starts doing his thing (cooking steaks on the back of a UHaul, which a passing cop later made us VERY nervous about as he informed us that this was verboten) while Dan j steals a warning poster about rats that later became a permanent fixture on the sides of 4P's giant speakers. (Truly funny shit: I saw that *exact same poster* next to currently-engaged-in-a-hostile-takeover-of-illinois Rod Blajojevic on the AP news feed a couple of days ago). We do our thing, hang out, eat, smoke, blah de blah, we got nothing else to do but chill and wait for someone to unlock the bar so we can load in.
Someone, I don't even remember who, happened to be in possession of a quantity of chemically-enriched paper that night, and DaveH decided that this was going to be his first gig under the active influence of that particular substance. So we're already looking forward to an interesting evening - Dave wasn't exactly the most subtle of people to begin with. Before the paper even got involved, it got interesting as night fell and the place opened...
First, this "Peacefrog" outfit. We figured they were probably a Doors-y psychedelic band (amazing deductive skills, we musicians!) They were supposed to be second on the bill with 4P opening and the reggae guys headlining, shows up and it's ONE GUY with a little 10-inch gorilla amp who explained that a) he'd fired his band that day, b) he'd picked up some replacements by soliciting random strangers on the street while carrying said gorilla amp to the gig, and c) he was now billing himself as "The Beatles."
No shit.
Okay, so now 4P is second on the bill, since nobody is interested in opening for a scruffy high school sophomore with a gorilla amp and the local skid row bum. Yes, he actually went on! With some random homeless guy screaming over the barely-audible screeching and noise of his teeny little amp, which wouldn't have mattered if it was 100 feet tall because the dude basically just stood there for about 40 minutes beating the shit out of his guitar without even pretending to try to actually involve things like tuning, melody, rhythm, tone, or really anything but white noise, atonality, and a lot of feedback.
I believe the homeless dude may have been screaming random Kierkegaard or Schopenhauer quotes over all of this.
In the original languages.
This was not shaping up to be the greatest of all possible touring experiences.
As soon as "The Beatles" hit the stage, Dave, B, and I headed out to my little blue 89 LeMans and added the flavor of enriched paper - VERY WELL enriched paper, I might add - to our tongues for dissolution. The rest of the band...had no idea. At all. None. And outside of a bit of herbality and some warmup brew (hence the nervousness of being confronted by Chicago's Finest in regards to Dave's impromptu display of culinary art), they were all stone sober.
So Dave has intentionally timed this such that the enrichment will make itself known to his cerebellum right around the time "The Beatles" are packing their crap and getting the hell out of the way (one nice thing: the changeover from 'them' to us was about 3 minutes). About an hour after "The Beatles" have stormed the stage, Four Peace takes over and puts on a very good, solid show of musicality and mashed-potato-and-peanut-butter grungy thickness (I stole that mashed potato line from a reviewer in the GR zine, Music Revue?, in their review of 4P's demo).
Dave...is having a transcendent experience, and by this point so are B and I. I've always wondered how B's photos differed from what he THOUGHT he was seeing, but I digress. Dave's doing his thing, the band's doing theirs. By the time the sets done, the enriched among us are definitely seeing happy trails.
Chicago being what it is, the bar didn't open til about 11pm, and 4p didn't go on until around 12:30am. They managed to pull a pretty nice chunk of the dance club in over their set - had maybe 350 or 400 folks in a space about half the size of soda by the time they were done, lots of applause and can-i-have-your-autograph and sold a few tapes and fiddled with a bit of the local fauna that tended toward femaleness. They went long, for a 2nd act, maybe 105 minutes or so.
So 105 minutes later we loaded out of that place in all of about three minutes (major fast for the huge amount of gear 4P was carrying at the time).
Gig's over, everyone wants to go get fooked one way or the other, so we start to do that. Most every stays behind in Chicago to hang with RompRalph, the dude who had set this abomination of a gig up.
B has to get back home, and Dave and I were both deep in relationships at the time, so we decide to head back to the 'zoo. Yes, I was driving. No, it wasn't real smart, since all three of us were very much on a long trip at this point, and I don't mean the ride to Chicago. Not my finest moment, but what the hell - everyone knows you're invincible when you're 21.
We pile in my little POS LeMans and manage to find the Skyway and head back in the general direction of Mittenland. There's a little of this sort of liquid fermented beverage and a little of that sort of mood elevating herbality and there might have been something refined to keep the sleep away involved as well, I don't even remember for sure anymore.
So we're cruising along and BSing back and forth and having a nice permagrin vacation and listening to the board tape at full volume and generally doing what hippie musician types do at 3:30 AM after a gig in the big city. Nothing else on the road. We're on 94, tooling along about 70 or so and I'm not even watching the road as I'm yapping back and forth with Dave in the passenger seat and B in the back seat (hey, man, eye contact is just common courtesy when you're talking to someone, ya know?), havin a good ol' time.
I'm lookin at Dave, saying something of little to no importance (but it seemed remarkably profound at the time), and suddenly I see his face go white as a sheet. Now, those of you who remember Dave might guess, correctly, that this was quite the feat, given that what little of his face wasn't covered with that thick beard was of a quite ruddy complexion.
His eyes get even bigger than they already were.
His mouth drops open so far I thought he was gonna let loose with one of those shrieks only dogs can hear, the ones that sounded like Donald Sutherland in the last frame of "The Body Snatchers" that he used to drop in to their cover of "Mountain Song" and a few other tuns.
His jaw starts working up and down, he's stammering.
"Ab..ab...abb...um...John. John. JOHN!!"
He points out the windshield, at which point I figure what the hell, I'm driving so I may as well look, right? We're on a huuuuge bridge, I think it goes over the Chicago River, on the east side of town heading in to Gary, I'm sure you know the one I mean. It's pitch black outside. There's nothing else on the road but us, anywhere. No streetlights, no signs, no nothing, just the lines on the road, the pavement, the bridge rails, and us. 70 miles an hour and smooth sailing all the way ba...
Wait a minute. Why do the lines in the road, the bridge rails, and the PAVEMENT STOP RIGHT IN FRONT OF US?
Ooooh shit.
I slam on the brakes. We all three shriek like four year old girls with a new puppy. I'm trying to figure out how the hell I missed all the signs that SURELY must have warned us that this bridge was under repair and COMPLETELY GONE HALFWAY ACROSS THE DAMN THING.
I close my eyes and feel the car fall out from underneath me as we all plummet over the edge and begin falling to our certain death hundreds of feet below in the shipyards of East Chicago....
...and then open them and realize that the bridge had been newly-paved, starting at just the right point mid-bridge, and no lines had been painted on it and the reflectors and other traffic accoutrements had not yet been re-installed. This combination, in addition to the lack of street lights and the merrily hallucniatory chemicals making their way through our synapses, conspired to give the impression - to all three of us - that the road simply ended about 50 feet from the point where I'd turned to look at it.
After we all changed our pants and wiped ourselves, we had a good laugh and drove back the rest of the way home, and that was the last time I drove under the influence of much of anything. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time any of the three of us has discussed this event publicly.
And that's my little story. Happy new year, Zoolanders!

I was fortunate to be involved with the band from the beginning. I recorded their first two demo songs "Playing In Traffic" and "Children at Play" in the basement of one of the dorms in Valley 3 on my 4 track. Through the early years I was a roadie and let Nick use my guitars and amp. I still have the 12 string Ovation acoustic in the picture above.
I remember the day when I heard that Bill lost his arm. It was devastating. It was also one of the most amazing things to see him at their first practice after the accident. After only a month he adapted his playing style so he could play most of the songs. It was like he never had an accident.
They were way ahead of their time. They were very talented musicians and a great bunch of guys.

hey gang,
paul didn't pass away until 2005. i don't know where you all are getting your info, but if you don't know when somebody died, you might not want to be putting the info out there.
don't mean to be harsh, but what the fuck? we're not talking about when somebody put a record out or when they got a new nirvana t-shirt.
i am still in contact with his mother who is doing well.
some of you might be interested to KNOW (not guess) that Paul was doing VERYwell before he died. in fact, he was actually volunteering at a rehab facility... and they dedicated a LIBRARY to him... the Paul J Wartella Library. believe it or not... that is TRUTH.
i was there the day it was dedicated to him. it was a BEAUTIFUL day.
we all have stories of partying with Paul or watching him throw up... but i think you all would be surprised (as i was) to see the MANY MANY people whom he touched in a truly special and loving way. i was blown away as nearly 100 people stood up to talk about how much he had helped them with their own recovery.
again, i don't mean to be an asshole (i can't help it)... but it was 2005.

I actually enjoy digitizing things. I have already digitized a bunch of King Tammy things including the aforementioned Halloween show (which I recorded and sang "When Doves Cry"). I may even have Zelda. I definitely have Bad Caramel from their pre-hard rock days.
I'm not sure if the guys want this stuff available or not, so I'll get back to you about uploading it.
Long live King Tammy! Even though technically they don't actually exist anymore. :(
Another great side project you should all track down is Basement Parade which features both Darrin Doyle and Steve Davison.
The yer-a-dope shorts are on youtube (including a King Tammy clip of Shitfingerstink) courtesy of Chris Simons. Darrin Doyle's novel is due in bookstores next year.

Chattanooga huh? Thats cool. I've been there several times playing or seeing shows.
I'm currently in the land of sun and geriatrics - florida.
Moved from Mich to Ill to Az to Germany to florida. Got married and now have a baby daughter.
I however still think that Michigan is the epicenter of the universe but my wife likes warm climates better so i'll have be down here until it sinks into the Atlantic and Michigan becomes the new south.
good to see that you still keeping on. The Florida music environment is dreadful.

It would be a fine addition. Who wants to digitize it for us?
I found moving stuff from tape to digital is a pain. In fact, just PLAYING an old tape can be challenging. I have to try to hitchhike with somebody whose got a 1999 Malibu and am like "do you have a tape deck in there?"

Listening to the Dead River Drag CD right now, which I do only a couple times a year to preserve its power and importance. Really fantastic middle Michigan sounds. Also eyebrows are raised in response to the 7 Seconds flyer here; one top of all of it, MIND OVER 4?!! I've been a huge fan of that band since '88 or so, have their entire discography, etc. Reminds me also that I need to share my FAQ press kit stuff (photos, reviews, bio) soon...either here or thru www.cultureofnone.blogspot.com,
where I recently nodded to the greatness of Twitch after much Thought Industry adoration.
So, was it Kevin or Brent who played bass in Dead River Drag? or both?

Holy Crapola,
To the genuine angles that run this site...thanks. I grew up listening to Daddyhorse every damn day while I drove my busted ass Subaru to both high school and WMU in the early 90s. I've searched high and low for a copy of this album (in CO and MT to ill effect) and here it finally is, in all its raging glory. Aw man, I remember chugging Bell's beer with blue label Smirnoff chasers down near Bronson Park before hearing these guys at Barking Tuna. Shit...what a fugging place that Kalamazoo. What a place. Thank baby Jeebus for Rollinghead. Thank baby Jeebus for Daddyhorse! Peace and chicken grease.
P.S. Also miss the skate shop when it was in the alley. P.P.S. Peace out to Flipside (RIP, I think) and Music Express (before the got into homebrewing).

I stumbled across this site a couple of weeks ago....wow! Kinda makes my heart ache a little..just the reminder of the first time I heard that Richenbacher 12 string sound when Andy and Dave played what would become " Crossing Novembers Winds"...in Tommy Fullers basement where we would practice...Does anyone have any recordings of the Confirmation? We did one session at ALBO in G.R. but I only have a compilation recording...does anyone know where Andy Bennet is? How can I contact Dave Grant.
Thanks for any help.

In response to: Rod MacQuarrie on 05-12-08 for Rollinghead
Man, this takes me way back...
I met Dean Van Dyke at Smith Burnham Hall on the WMU campus in 1986. He had just dyed his hair black and it hung down in front nearly down to his chin. What a great guy. Dean was a huge Church fan and he introduced me to their back catalog. He also taught me many of the chords to Church songs and I've been a Church fan ever since. Over the years we stayed in touch and actually lived right behind him. Dave was dating some girl and I was dating her sister. I'd go to parties at his place from time to time and watched as Dave and Dean slowly morphed into something a bit more aggressive. They were really influenced by the Led Zeppelin direction the Cult were heading in. I recall Dean mentioning he was in a band called the Jet Boys before Murder of Crows back in Muskegon, but Dave Grant wasn't in that band. I still have a Murder of Crows sticker (unused).
At one point I sang a cover version of Unguarded Moment during one of the parties Dean and Dave put on. I think the band was Memories of Tomorrow. What a great time that was!
As for Dave Grant, I first met him at a Confirmation concert. What an awesome band! I used to have a cassette of their one and only album but it's long gone now. Dave was really influenced by Cactus World News and the Waterboys as I recall, and in the late 80's he was digging Runrig's first album.
After the Confirmation broke up, I bought Dave Grant's Rickenbacker 12-string and Jazz Chorus amp that he used in the Confirmation. Ended up selling them around 1991. Later on I remember Dave asking if I still had it. Around that time he was getting a divorce and had started Rolling Head.
Around Rolling Head broke up I ran into Dave Van Dyke. Apparently he was taking courses to become a Dental Hygienist or something. I haven't seen or heard from any of them since. Anyone have contact info? --- end of previous message ---

Ah man still love to type "Rollinghead" in search engines. To see this little bit is great. Grew up in Kzoo and spent my entire teens stuck in the State seeing so many great acts. Worked at Bimbo's and spent almost an underaged lifetime at the Soda drinking Bell's Amber watching shows like Rollinghead, DRD, Killswitch (is Clements still alive?), Twitch, Mustard Plug, Thought Industry, even The Verve Pipe (even way back when they were Johnny with an Eye). Well anyways good to see people are still interested. I have every Rollinghead album here in Austin, TX with me. I should figure out how to upload all of them for others. Went to see Frank Black do a small show here in the ATX with a Rollinghead Tee on, he actually mentioned to me that they were from Kzoo.

Still waiting for the EVENTUAL re-opening of kraftbrau. It will be nice to have a venue that is based on live music, instead of having it as an afterthought. It should be bigger and better than the old 'brau, with a much smoother parking lot! Also, there are high hopes for a liquor license as well. That means more chicks will come to the shows if they have something to drink besides (good) beer and soda. No more pounding bottles of boons farm and blue maui in the parking lot! (yeah, right!) Hopefully the stage will be a foot or two higher than the old one, so the short people can see without jumping up and down all night. After being closed for nearly a year, I think folks are ready for a club with a real rock n roll stage. Not just a corner of the room with a rented peavey P.A............

I think it's been mentioned here before, but I think it deserves more recognition, maybe even a sub-section all it's own.
It's a great Kalamazoo based label that puts out records by amazing (mostly Kalamazoo area) rock/punk rock/weirdo bands.
The label's head honcho hosts WIDR's "Down In Flames" of Friday nights, and often gives many of us AARP rockers airplay and "props."
A lot of these musicians' faces would be familiar to you, as they were the ones standing outside the Munchie Mart asking you to buy booze for them back when you thought that it was YOUR band that was gonna make this town the next (Athens/Seattle/Austin/Etc.) These were the cats that paid $3.00 at the door, got big X's markered onto their hands, then saw us rocking out and thought to themselves: "Hell, if THOSE ugly no-talent fuggers can do it…so can we!"
By the way, that's exactly what I said to myself when my kindergarten class went on a field trip, and I saw Violent Apathy playing a reunion show at the Deer Forest Amphitheater.
Anyway, not just the faces would be familiar, but you'd know some of the musicians as well. Joel Wick, for example, sings for Mesa, and one (or more, maybe?) member of The Spits is on the Black Orphan single. (The Mesa single, by the way, is maybe my fave of all the UFO records. It rocks like you want it to rock. Like BOC, or KISS ALIVE II) A lot of the other players are your old roommate's little brothers or little sisters. I even know of one UFO recording artist who's FATHER played in a band that's listed in the "Barking Tunas" section of this site!
(Some of your own offspring might be in that band too, for all you remember about that night at "the couch house")
Another UFO band, The Menthols, recently played at the SXSW festival, and has been creating a buzz and raising hell on the east coast for the past few weeks.
This weekend, The UFO Dicks are hosting UFO DICTATOR 4, an annual bash celebrating, well, themselves I guess. It's a 2 day event, with all the UFO bands playing Friday night. On Saturday, local legends SNORKEL play their first show in over a decade, and 70's punk rock icons The Penetrators (Look 'em up) are gonna blow the roof off the place (and then they're gonna get your old girlfriends pregnant!)
So check 'em out. Listen to Down In Flames on your innernets machines, and for the love of god, don't add that Menthols single to your list of "I wish I'd picked up that original/locally produced (Latin Dogs, Violent Apathy, Eminem, Kid Rock, Etc.) record before it got so expensive."
Buy that fucker now while it's still just $4.00! Seriously!
And now, back to Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days," already in progress...

Not that it is of any quality, but you can hear my Dustin tribute/homage on the Hudson Debacle's "Hudson Debacle Part I: Drinking with my friends". Moments after I bought my drumset I went out and bought a big, obnoxious, Mods-era ice bell and tried to hit it on the 4 and a half whenever I could.

Oh the super hotness of duct tape nipples.
One other thing about the old TI shows was their incorporation of multimedia into their sets prior to anyone else using it(that I can remember.) Of course Tool later stole the idea, and to this day uses the same footage they were using in the mid 90's.
Nothing like seeing a dozen 19 inch tv's piled on top of one another playing some sort of psychotic montage of visuals.
In response to: Jeff on 07-06-08 for Thought Industry
I think you CAN contact Dustin. I believe there is a contact email at IAS site, and I'm sure there isn't too much corporate infrastructure between that address and Dustin's computer.
Dustin likes hearing from fans. For TI's second album, he even prepared a book of art and images available to send to fans for just three bucks.
You haven't really seen TI live until you've seen nipples covered in electrical tape.

if i had the money, i really would like to start a label and release this one on vinyl, even though it would be for sure that noone would buy it anyway. at least i could add this one to my collection ;-).

Going through boxes of junk last weekend and came across an unused Murder of Crows sticker that Dean Van Dyke gave me back in 1987. He also gave me a large crow backdrop at one point, but that disappeared a long time ago... --- end of previous message ---

Hi Melissa, welcome to the scene (a little late...) Let Todd know that I keep a clean house these days (albeit through some detail-oriented Brazilians). You wouldn't beleive what Joel and Steve are up to these days

crazy - never really knew rollinghead but i worked with dave van dyke at "sunshine sub" right after the jim jones days (he and dean were both in) and when he and some other guys (maybe dean) were doing "love pump" - a short lived (i think) side project for some guys. worked with dave for over a year - he lived with "freddy" and a group of people on the street just around the corner from the sub shop. also remember eric (from the other post) from the god bullies (although i don't think his name appears in the "former members" section on the god bullies myspace page) - lived with him and a couple of other people from kalamazoo in chicago.

My fond memories of Paul W. outside of Soda talking to him, when out of the blue he just vomited profusely all over the sidewalk, then seemed to think nothing happened. good times... good times.

everything Kiry says is true, except the bit about SubPop. He got that one backwards - THEY had the balls to turn US down for a seven inch. Pussies.
But here: the reunion is on, nailed down, no more rescheduling:
September 20th, Louie's Pub (on North).
UFO Dictator anniversary show
Snorkel Reunion, all four original members. Come see how gracefully we've aged. If the weather holds it'll be outside. If the weather sucks it'll be indoors, and there'll be room for like twelve people. Ergo: if it rains, come early.
Remember that tripped out movie you saw when you were a teenager, the one with all the drug references, jump cuts, and weird camera angles? It was so fucking awesome. Then you saw it again as an adult, and, ah man, you sort of wished you hadn't. Not that it was terrible, it's just that that shit was so much cooler before you knew anything about anything.
This show will probably be a little bit like that.
Hail Satan,
Snorkel
In response to: KIRY on 03-26-08 for Snokel
ahhh....yes....snorkel....i lived with the boys on minor street in the bands infancy.....sam b heard that i was starting resin mattress and was amazingly jealous....he picked my brain for hours about starting a rock band....it just came naturally for resin mattress...so they started snorkel....god were they awful...they practiced every fucking friday...i'd come home from class and be itching to get some serious studying done....but no...snorkel was in the basement hacking away at their "songs"....i would go downstairs and give them pointers on how to structure a song....told them they should really concentrate on perversion as a subject matter....duct tape the drum set back together and fend off robin at the door for them....blaine shaved his crotch at one of the practices....that was pretty cool....apparently they got good at some point...cause they had the balls to turn down sub pop for a 7"... --- end of previous message ---

Don't forget the TIGHTS, you can't wear boots n' shorts without tights in the dirty kzoo winters.
BTW, has anyone decided whether FUNK METAL was just a fad or not? I've been practicing my fone boning and might be looking for some opportunities.

Posted by: Chris F on 07-22-08 about How Jeff remembers it
Thanks for the article Jeff. I was a teenager during the aforementioned time and playing guitar, learning how to write music, etc. Almost every band mentioned here, especially Thought Industry, Twitch, Rollinghead, and Screwtape, were huge influences on me, both musically and I suppose with regard to shorts and boots. I'm not totally sure, but maybe also with my long hair/shaved head combo. Both were a big hit with the ladies as I'm sure you can imagine. I'm glad I had these bands to look up to during my formative years. I took it as a great compliment when it got around to me that Herb liked our band because we sounded like good ol' Kalamazoo rock. I remember buying a bunch of TI merch at a Kalapalooza, and Dustin seeing me and my buddy holding all of our Kalamazoo band paraphernalia, and sneering disdainfully, "you guys really get off on this shit, don't ya?" Great times. I still listen to a lot of these bands, and I'm grateful that there are other people who remember them as fondly as I do.

that line is dandy, and I can make it out just fine. That and Colin/Geoff singing "pass out on the steering wheel" in Doxie reminds me of Kzoo. Someone should post a top 10 of DUI's

Locomotive God.
Slow down,, pay attention to me. We're all lost, but loss is not extraordinary. I can not support my lies, all my truths are paralyzed and I don't care. In between these sheets we write and think of ways we could destroy ourselves. I hate your father figure he raped me like a locomotive god! All your children our running for the back door. the strength and the sting of the wound is shining down. test your faith and shimmer like a godsend laughing every time that I repeat myself. I know how you hated it when I sold out. but this is my revenge for giving. Let's go kill the social blister. He's the one that spoiled my sister. It's not her fault at all. You're the reson I won't sleep at night my eyelids stapled open now I hate your father figure he raped me like a locomotive god.

I really want to finally see the VIDEO to Locomotive God that was funded by label. That would certainly be post-worthy.

My favorite TI tour was 'mods' when Brent played the bass slung super low and he made crazy-face while he tappity-tapped. Between his super-low bass and Dustin's super high cymbals, it seemed as if they were trying to make things a little extra challenging to pull off. I believe Chris was still dragging around the old trashcan to beat on too (that sounds like a euphemism for something, but it's not). After the mods tour, the band members stopped dancing, Dustin's replacement, Jared, had a chest too hairy to tape up, and then the live show was just like watching nerds at band practice. After Paul left, nobody in the band seemed to want to spit on other band members. It finally devolved during the 'short wave' tour where Mike Roche would not only eschew dance, but he would sit in a chair on the stage, smoking and drinking a latte while reading the sports page or doing a cross-word puzzle while playing the guitar.

I searched the IAS site and found a band contact e-mail, but nothing specific to Dustin. I'll give that a shot, what do I have to lose? I remember reading about the additional art in the Mods album, I read that it never actually materialized though. I would have loved to see them live during any era, but especially during the first two albums.
In response to: Jeff on 07-06-08 for Thought Industry
I think you CAN contact Dustin. I believe there is a contact email at IAS site, and I'm sure there isn't too much corporate infrastructure between that address and Dustin's computer.
Dustin likes hearing from fans. For TI's second album, he even prepared a book of art and images available to send to fans for just three bucks.
You haven't really seen TI live until you've seen nipples covered in electrical tape.

I'm a fan of the band from San Diego (and a lot of others since finding this site), so I can't just contact Dustin Donaldson (although love his new band too). I mean, I'd be willing to try to clean them up, out them on DVD or whatever. I just never got to see them live. --- end of previous message --- --- end of previous message ---

First, find friend with home recording studio, buy him beer, and beg beg beg.
If you have a computer with a decent sound card, it MAY have RCA-type jacks you can plug a tape deck into, and you may be able to find some shareware recording software. And then struggle for hours and hours to get it to work.
You can dub them to other cassettes and send them to me and I'll encode them for you.
Option 1 is the best.

I couldn't play the rhythm and the solo at the same time so I had to do a whistle solo :)

Nash and I tried to re-mix the original recording (sans original tape, working with just the CD) to remove/extend the fade-out so the listener could hear more of your awesome guitar solo.
