ALL THE RUMORS ARE TRUE, YES I AM ON TUMBLR NOW. POSTING DAILY, EVEN MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY. MUSIC AND CULTURE BUT LETS BE HONEST HERE PEOPLE, MOSTLY MUSIC. SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE ALL I GOT. SO WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, CHECK IT OUT! IN CASE YOU ARE WORRIED, I’M STILL UPDATING THE DOT COM ALL THE TIME SO DON’T EVEN TRIP ABOUT THAT! MAYBE MORE LONG FORM THINGS AND NEWS ITEMS, BUT WHO REALLY KNOWS. REGARDLESS, FOR ALWAYS UPDATED YOUTUBE LINKS AND PIX AND PIECES OF HISTORY CHECK OUT THE TUMBLR RIGHT NOW! EAST COAST MINI-TOUR IN A WEEK.
I HAVE GREAT MEMORIES OF BEING A TEENAGER IN THE HEARTLAND: WEEKEND ROAD TRIPS, RAGING SHOWS AND GOOFING OFF. JUICEBOXXX GOT ME THRU THE DARKNESS THAT COMES WITH GROWIN’ UP AND FOR THAT I AM FOREVER IN DEBT TO THIS MUSIC SHIT. THE MILWAUKEE BAND DOOM BUGGY WERE A BIG PART OF MY YOUTH, WE PLAYED MANY SHOWS TOGETHER IN 2K3 AND 2K4 THAT I STILL THINK ABOUT TO THIS DAY. WE WERE ALL AROUND THE SAME AGE, JUST KIDS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THIS CRAZY THING CALLED “MUSIC” AND ALSO THIS EVEN CRAZIER THING CALLED “LIFE”.
DOOM BUGGY WERE AND STILL ARE A HARD BAND TO DESCRIBE AND I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST WAY. RIOT GIRRRRRRRLY VOCALS MEETS SPAZZY PUNK WITH A LOT OF SHREDDING GUITAR AND GENRE HOPPING. GRUNGE MUSIC AND NO WAVE ALSO FACTORED INTO THE OVERALL VIBE; DOOM BUGGY FOUND THEIR STYLE FAST AND KEPT GROWING. WHEN YOU ARE 16, GOING ON LIL’ WEEKEND MINI TOURS TRULY DOES MEAN THE WORLD AND I HAVE A MILLION STORIES. I ALWAYS REMEMBER BEING SUPER MANIC ON THESE TRIPS BECAUSE I HAD SO MUCH BOTTLED UP INTENSITY/INSANITY AFTER A WEEK OF SCHOOL, LOOKING BACK I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I WAS OUT OF MY GODDAMN MIND MOST OF THE TIME.
BUT ENOUGH OF ALL THAT, CAN’T LOOK BACK. ENJOY THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING: THE MUSIC. DOOM BUGGY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO LET ME POST THEIR ENTIRE DISCOGRAPHY HERE, INCLUDING UNRELEASED SHIT. CHECK IT OUT AND TRY TO GET BACK INTO A CERTAIN ZONE, EVEN IF JUST FOR A SECOND. BASEMENT SHOWS, VFW/LEGION HALL SHOWS, ALL AGES SHOWS – ALL THAT SHIT. I KNOW I’M GETTING CHEESEBALL HERE BUT FUCK IT, IT WAS AN IMPORTANT TIME IN MY LIFE.
PS. ALL THE MEMBERS OF DOOM BUGGY ARE STILL IN THE MUSIC GAME. TONY RUNS VICIOUS POP RECORDS AND WILLY D IS A TOURING MEMBER OF THE JUICEBOXXX LIVE EXPERIENCE. MOLLY HOLDS IT DOWN IN MAGIC WORDS AND SAM IS IN CATACOMBZ AND ALSO BIG FUN 4 EVER WITH WILLY AND TONY, WHO ARE ALSO IN MANY OTHER BANDS, INCLUDING POSSIBLE FATHERS. WAS THAT THE BEST WAY TO DO THAT? DID THAT MAKE SENSE? PROBABLY NOT WHO KNOWS FUK U. MILWAUKEE 4 EVER.
2 TON BUG IS AN AWESOME NEW BAND FROM NEW HAVEN, CONNECTICUT. “THE BUG” REMIND ME OF AN ERA AROUND THE TURN OF THE MILLENIUM WHEN NOISE, SYNTH PUNK AND HEAVY GARAGE ROCK WERE ALL GETTING MIXED UP TOGETHER IN A FUN LOVIN’ PARTY HEARTY STEW. ACTS LIKE QUINTRON, LIGHTNING BOLT, EARLY ANDREW WK, THE LOST SOUNDS, EARLY JAPANTHER AND 25 SUAVES COME TO MIND AS DO RECORD LABELS LIKE LOAD AND BULB. 2 TON BUG ALSO REMIND ME OF WHITE ZOMBIE.
“WEDDING OF THE CENTURY” IS THEIR NEW ALBUM AND IT COMES OUT SOON ON PRGNT RECORDS. HERE IS A CUT OFF OF IT CALLED “FOLLOW THE 2 TON BUG”. WORLD EXCLUSIVE! ENJOY.
IF YOU ARE IN NEW YORK CITY BETWEEN FEBRUARY 25TH-MARCH 20TH GO TO THIS SHOW! MANY OF MY FAVORITE ARTISTS ARE IN THIS, JUST JAMMING AND GETTING LOOSE. SOUNDS LIKE FUN.
MORE INFO: Dadarhea would like to cordially invite you to wigout to their NY debut. What began as a summer workshop for video ideas to manifest has now become an unruly feature length hydrabeast formed of individuals collaborating in abandon. All participants have been swirling around and bumping into each other for at least 10years and the collective sensibilities are broad yet unified in a pact to explore, laugh, splat, maximize, question, flap, drop, trough, dangle and generally go too far in the name of curiosity without actually killing a cat.
You the viewer are the beneficiary of all this and more. The gallery will also feature paintings and other works by many of the artists involved.
Dadarheans include: Devin Flynn, Jim Drain, Melissa Brown, Brian Belott, Fran Spiegel, Takeshi Murata,
Joe Grillo, Marie Lorenz, Laura Grant, Naomi Fisher, Ara Peterson, Michael Williams, Jessie Gold, Billy Grant, Alison Kuo, Rich Porter et al The opening night will include a live performance by Robert Beatty to accompany an extended Video Remix of Dadarhea.
I WILL BE PLAYING MY ONLY LOS ANGELES SHOW OF THE WINTER/SPRING ON APRIL 19TH WITH THE GO! TEAM AND MY BUDDIES HOTTUB AT A PARTY CALLED CHECK YO! PONYTAIL WHICH IS LEGENDARY IN ITS OWN RIGHT. I’VE PLAYED IT A FEW TIMES BEFORE YEARS AGO AND IT IS ALWAYS A BLAST. CHANMAN AND DJ HAUL ON THE DECKS. C U IN DA PIT!
