OWLnight, OWLright

Hey Ya'll remember that band Owl I posted about a ways back? Well, as I usually do, I invited myself to be a part of that band, and now we are venturing out of our Owl's nest and into the night. Here's a little refresher-the first and original Owl DEMO. Of course, we've been in the studio a whole lot this year and have a 7" and a full OWLbum in the works. Starting off on Sunday it's yours truly dirty thirty. I can now graduate from P.I.T. (Puma in training) to official Puma, I believe. Yay for me.

I'm sorry for all the self promotion people, but guilt is the only way I can get you to come.

BLACK BREATH

I used to go to a lot of Hardcore shows. It's amazing what people will call hardcore these days. And they are pretty uptight about it too. What's with all the "cores" anyways? It's like, deathcore, trashcore, grindcore...when are they going to start a CORE CORE genre? (PS-sweet knuckle tat). Well, this is quintessential hardcore. But then throw in a little doom, gloom and hair and you have Black Breath. My neck still hurts, and it was two days ago that I saw them. Of course, it was the second night in a row.Highly recommended. Please enjoy.

Heavy Breathing-HERE:

Dear Robitussin:

I have consumed you more than solid food in the last four days. Yet I am endlessly coughing. I keep drinking you. I think you are opening my third eye.



I keep waking up in cold sweats, having hallucinated that I was wandering endlessly in a sunless forest. My clothing was replaced by a wolf's bane, I was surrounded by savage women, baring carnivorous teeth and bloody bosoms.

I was being dragged to a ceremony. It was a Ceremony of the most Bloody kind, being offered to the Great God Pan. Flutes and fires and fables. Oh my.


Blood Ceremony

(Based on actual robitussin hallucinations: take heed, stick to weed, and happy 4:20 ya'll)

ANTONIUS REX

An Italian prog classic and favorite of mine, I present Antonius Rex. Antonio, who comprised this band I believe (I don't do wiki or research before I post, I'm just assuming that this was his prog-ject:Antonio=Antonius DUUUUH) was briefly in Black Widow, an excellent band if I do say so myself, as well as contributing to the occult prog soundscapes of Jacula.


(Antonio Bartoccetti-Satan's right hand man)



I'm into witchy shit with lots of organs and ladies singing chants and violins and flutes and shit. Here's their album from 1977, ZORA. Rather proggy and classical, with a satanic twist. My favorite song on the album? Morte al Potere- It's the soundtrack to your first bong hit of the night.


Stonin' and Bonin'.

Dorito dust in your hair farm?

Hello people. This is Danava. Why have we skipped over Danava? What gives man? Is it that you're too busy wrecking necks to sit back on your bean bag chair in your sweatpants and take a few bong rips? Lady is on your ass about doing laundry and taking her to spatula city? Fuck dude. That sucks. Life is hard man. Let's take a break from these 1st world problems and go on a demon ride.

Danava literally means "demon" or enemies of God. Yet they hail from Portland. Yes, another great fucking band from Portland STOP MAKING ME WANT TO MOVE THERE GOD DAMN IT.

They rule. 'Nuff said. Well, I'll say something-fuck it. They combine elements of jazz, psych, rock, doom, and at times glam and I love them. Hair Farmers. Why isn't there a Hair Farmer or Dorito dust tag on this blog? Why you gotta be shunning the stoners dude?

Hair Orgy

Hmm, oh well here's there first album from 2006. Pretty Cockwind (Hawkwind with a lot more dick in it) kinda like these guys from my first post.



HERE:


Or the 2008 epic follow up UnonoU:

HERE:








They also put out a split with homies Lecherous Gaze and Earthless-BUY IT- you bum. And stop stealing all my quarters I know it was you. Get a job.

Mutilation Rites-Demo 2011

Yeah, so Shelbro already told you that your nuts would probably explode and your head would fall off your neck and you'd probably want to bone the whole band if you ever saw these guys. I'll atest (testies) to this wholeheartedly. Any lesser known band that comes in from out of town and puts Dispirit to shame is A-1 sauce in my book. The sauce to my steak. Not to mention they have the baddest ass female bass player EVER. (Nooooo, it's not me.) Anyways, they came, they destroyed my apartment,my liver and self respect but left me this demo. It's pretty much the only thing I have left in this life. Please enjoy, and yes you are fucktarded for not seeing them on tour. Woops.

DESTROY YOUR LIVER, IT IS EVIL

Profile of an Artist: BEN VENOM

Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce supreme bro and inspired individual,
BEN VENOM.

(Evil Muahahhahahaha)

You know all those shirts you've been hoarding since you were in your tweens? They've got holes in them huh? Holes that expose your nipples, holes that your bullet belt gets stuck on, holes that you keep your drumsticks in, holes holes holes. Well, Ben has been collecting these shirts for almost two decades. What he did with his ding dang ol' shirts turned into works of brutality that I'd probably saw my left leg off for.

(Truly, a masterpiece)

I caught up with Ben the other night over a few bro-brews to get a glimpse into what inspires him to give up those precious precious shirts. (Dude, it would take hell or high water for me to give up original shirts like TESTAMENT and METALLICA and MAIDEN. Geez) He's got big things on the horizon and needs our help (I'll explain later).

Satan's Little Helper's Station

Ben-vacuuming on the Lord's day at a church in a Slayer shirt. He probably threw up in a trash can at said church too, huh Ben?

He says that creating these quilts is like creating a song...creating drafts, putting the pieces together as you gain inspiration, using recycled material...er...that last part shouldn't be for song writing, although sometimes it's cool if your ripping of Black Sabbath for the umpteenth time.

Ben's got some big shows coming up on the horizon people- first off a Metal-Themed art show in Birmingham, England; (where the greatest of English Heavy Metal hail from) THEN a huge show at the Yerba Buena Museum here in San Francisco. Why is this of importance to you, you ask? Well, Ben needs our help. I know a LOT of you are in shitty metal bands out there, and he needs your shirts, patches, chonies, WHATEVER to make a GIANT metal quilt of the most Satanic breed. Send him your shirts that are stretching over your ever expanding beer belly. Send him your lame band shirt, so that your band will live on in infamy. Send him that Manowar patch that's holding the crotch of your favorite pair of Jorts together. Support him, so that he may go forth in Evil.

I want to see this at every Museum from now til forever

And I want one of these pillows. Don't you?

"When Hell freezes over, you can use my quilt to keep warm"
-Ben Venom

Here's his website. Give it up already. HAIL.

GRANDMA'S COOKIES (pssst....they're WEED cookies)

May I present Nona Leveroni. Grandmother to my best friend and a friend of mine indeed. Now Nona LOVES to bake, and if you've ever met her she will send you the BEST italian cookies year round. You can't not get fat when Nona's around. But today Nona wants to show you how to make something special. WEED BUTTER.

NOW REMEMBER THIS ISN'T FOR FUN. IF YOU WANT TO HAVE FUN GRAB A STREET CAR, GO DOWN TO THE BEACH AND ROMP IN THE WATER.

I love you Nona. Send me some cookies.
