08/10/09--06:49: Getting Savage (chan 2078765)




Well, I'm not sure how many of you are living in or near Dekalb, Illinois...but whether you are or aren't, my band is playing at The House Cafe for open mic night tonight. We're called Cassius Clay Vs The Robotron. This show is going to be epic. So if you care to see some crazy guys wearing face paint, screaming and banging on the drums tonight, come on down to The House Cafe around 8:30, and get savage with us!

ps - if you are wondering what kind of music we play, the best category to put us in would be retreatist. However, we can also be called minimalist tribal hardcore. We play only drums and vocals. Oh..and we have a didgeridoo and a

Hey everyone,

i just want to shout out a small apology for not having posted much art lately. I've been a bit busy catching up with old friends, hunting for a job, and pursuing a very lovely lady.

i should have some more work up for your viewing pleasure in the very near future. in the meantime, i leave you with this quote from my favorite band of all time, Circa Survive. I listened to them while i showered and ate breakfast, and this line has stuck with all morning:

"If blood is thicker than water, then you'll drown quicker than we intended. if blood is thicker than water, then you'll know where you can find us in the end."

10/21/09--18:49: New Website, New Work, New Projects. (chan 2078765)




Hey all,

just filling you in on some of my recent activities.

I've just finished updating my website, HERE. We will post a couple more within the next week or so. the demos aren't anything special, but it will give you an idea of what we sound like. We're working on some new material and preparing to go into a professional studio to record our first EP. Our original goal was to have the EP released on, or around, Thanksgiving. If all goes well, that deadline still seems like a reality.  

Also, I've been working for the past few months on a solo musical project called Pixel Parade. I'm pleased to announce that I am releasing

An iron back arbalest overtaken and overgrown with spores and saprolings glows with the aftershock of rotting neon dreams.

...the horn blows.



lidless and vacant. she stares into hearts that have no timing or sense of timing.

...the fish teem.



sunken into absent abstracts, the pit of blowflies eats away at her dress. she sings for recollection and recount.

...the sheep count.



under the obsidian sphere that zeniths over a land of waste and eager venom, we sit around our smolders, slinging soft seances to sultry winged villains.

...the clock breaks.
