Hi, everybody. This is Becca. you're listening to Beyond the Podcast of 1984. This is episode one, episode ten, and today's episode is a very special episode. Yes, this episode is all about my band. The earwigs. So if you already know the story, you don't need to listen to this. But I'm going to throw in a bunch of, like, tidbits and crap. So anyways, so let's just jump right to the gun. If this blab goes on too long that I'll do a part two because I have a lot of stuff. But. So anyways, as a kid, you know, I was really into 80s pop music and I still am. I rediscovered it again years ago and I never stopped listening to it. I love it all. And then I of course later got in hard rock and then I got into metal. And then from there I got into like punk rock, and I got into grind gore and industrial and just all kinds of stuff, techno and just blah, blah, blah goes on and on and on and on and on. When I was a kid, I think it was about just about the while I was hanging out with my best friend at the time, Wayne Quick, aka Insane Wayne, kid Suny. We're hanging out. We're walking down the street mine in North Dakota, and we were talking about kid video. If you remember that cartoon and he it it was funny, we were talking about I was like, you know, the music's really neat, but I wish it was louder. And I'll never forget this. He looks right over at me and I'm not kidding. This is like 40, almost 42 years ago. It was, what do you want, noise? And I go, yeah, well, here's the thing, man, I knew nothing. Okay, 12 years old. 19. Was it? No, I would have been almost in 1983. So anyways, I would not hear, like, noise stuff, at least. Noise score first till like 89. So I still had several years off. But anyways, so, you know, I got my guitar and I got this beautiful guitar. I still have a guitar in July of 87 and that was like, right, the best thing that I a robot, I had a job on Air Force Base and on in Germany, and I bought my guitar and I still have it, and I played a lot more. Well, anyways, I kept trying to form bands of people. It was my dream because it was. I was really, really, really into like hard rock and heavy metal. I I'd listen to 80s pop in a long time, but I was really into, you know, Motley Crue, Ratt, doc and what was it, Van Halen and then I Cinderella Boys, and I liked Wyant and then a little bit later, not too long later, of course, Twisted Sister, I got an a man of war. God, was it, I think. Yeah. Grim reaper, you know, basically, I don't need to, like, give you a whole history of that, but I was listening to a lot of hard rock, you know, and of course, Iron Maiden and, Motorhead. And, I mean, I could just go on and on. Rush, Black Sabbath, Ozzy, solo stuff, Queen, Drake, the real Queensryche for me, you know, with Jeff Tate. Anyways, so I was in all his music. Keep trying to form bands totally failed. I end up doing a band in 1986 with a friend of my name, Chris Hayes, and his nickname was Chris the His because I was wild sea styles. And we did this beyond horrible, Barbie band called Scream Rage. And I actually have it on CD and I'm open to get that kind of revitalized because there's the very end of it is not on it should be on it, just some really stupid stuff. But it's really funny and it was just fricking terrible. Like my buddy was playing a seat cushion with pens and I was playing a, a bass guitar with no amp and doing the lead vocals. It was it was really bad. A lot of fun. Anyways, over the years later, I was living in Idaho. It was like 1990, and I kept really wanting to do a band, and it was this I'd been pen pals with food for tomato from sockeye for a short time, and, I wrote him a letter one day and I was like, man, I really want to form a green band. I wanna do like, 100 song tape. And all I had at the time was like, boys, now I got that in 91. I'm trying to remember what I had back then. Oh, yeah. Okay. I didn't have anything. I just had my guitar and amp. That was literally that was it revamp that ended up just blowing up one day or something. I just work in through the garbage. Still trying to get fixed. One chord I had, I think I had like one guitar pick and I had a distortion pedal, nothing. And the wiring was so bad it just I don't know how to fix anything. Anyways, we're talking and and this was right right after I got into like, very early. I still have the, the British, the import cassette of from From Enslavement to Obliteration by name of death. I heard a poem. Death. I heard the first carcass. I was one of my friends sent me this some, like eight, 90 minutes. He was just full of stuff. And the stuff that I liked the best was like the to me, like the first minute one sided seven inch and anal cons 88 song. Yep. And bands like Nam Land. I just wish I could remember all the other stuff. but some old, old, very early grind stuff. You know, I think I had like a promo cassette of which isn't grimy always like, you know, God, flush, street cleaner. I got that from work. So because he sold me as a promo cassettes, which was really cool long, long time ago. so anyways, I'm like, I really want to form a band. And I was just like, I want to do this. So I go over to Wayne's and I'm hanging out there. I end up staying for like eight days as parents, band out of town on vacation with two, two brothers. No. It was this is one brother bathroom. Because the little guy, as a little tiny brother, okay. For life, we can't remember. Anyways, he had men born yet. Okay, so anyways, we're hanging out. I'm down to the basement, and I brought my guitar and I had it tuned a certain way. Well, on amp, and I really liked it. I was trying to get the sound, like in tunes. left Hand Path, because I love that guitar tone. I know it's been overused, but I love the sound on that, so I would like try to have it like that. Anyways, I was just playing around, had it. There was a suitcase sitting there and I was wearing cowboy boots. So I lived on a ranch, you know, but I like to cowboy boots. I don't really now because I always work on anyways. I started just banging on it with my, you know, with a cowboy boot on, and it's on a really cool. So long story short, I'm like, hey man, can I, can I use this, can I record it uses boombox? It was, I think his mom's boombox. He says, sure. Long story short, I started recording it and it was really funny because I started right out, you know, the beginning one year and and like, I ain't heard from our sponsor. He's like, dude, that was Wayne yelling that. And I really happy that I got him on there. Anyways, I recorded that tape. I love going back to Idaho. like, you know, when when the hangout was over and I was sitting in a room trying to come up with a name, I was like, I still thinking some really bad names. I was like, think of BC and the sickos. And at the time I was obsessed with crazy lords. I was, I go, oh man, I'm going to call my band the Gore Lords and had a Z at the end. And I still think that name is kind of cool, but kind of cheesy. Then I was like, com batty, which was like the, the combination of com just com and batty from Outlanders still got all those. My hands still got all those graphic novels, all the manga. Try to come up with all these names. And also, I was thinking about Alice Cooper's high school man was called The Earwigs. And it just really, really hit me because I was like, I don't really want to use a name. Kind of like, you know, all these bands at the time. I know this might have been right before there were more of those, but, you know, you had Anal kite and then later on Anal Massacre, vaginal massacre, oral climax and all these bands kind of just crude sexual names. And I was like, I don't even want a name like that. At first, though, when I did, anyways, I was like, I was going to be all gory, you know, like because I was really inspired by impetigo. I love impetigo with a little story about them in a moment. But anyways, I recorded it. I ended up, you know, I had the tape done, I drew a covers. I was this mutilated corpse, and it was only about 5.5 minutes, and I end up making copies and sent it to the people. And I was like, this is my band. I'm going to do this, even if it's just pure. And it was it's horrible. It's still bad. But I got to say, I still feel pride whenever I listen to it. I laugh because, you know, that was the very first earwigs, and I've been doing it ever since. my, I ended up in 91. I lived in Texas, and this is after I recorded, was it the November whatever fake live November 90th dismembered, which I still laugh when I listen to all the songs I did covers of. I didn't even know the lyrics. I'd mumble them. I don't know. It's fun. It's a fun. Ridiculous. The why did I ended up in Texas for a few months and my brother Derek, my stepbrother, I was calling my brother, but he played guitar and I played. I used a hanger and a little tiny garbage can is like banging as fast as I could, screaming. And we ended up recording a bunch of stuff. I did a terrible original Dark Basement, I think it was one. Right before I did that, I did the. All it was is me banging on a ventilator system and doing like, frog croak and Road rules. It was necro beast, a cannibal love songs. And, you know, I recorded some stuff there in Texas, and then I end up in California. And that's when I did, Holocaust, which I think to this day is probably the one I sold the most to the most tres with. And I ended up getting it on a CD. My buddy over in the Canary Islands, a nolo, and I apologize, I. What's your label? Damn it? I just I don't have the reference right here, but anyways, you put that out on CD along with my gingerbread rails Wrigley's tape. So I still love that's one of my favorites. All like whatever the hell. It was just totally nuts. Weird spastic noise, garbage, whatever and that. And then, like I did a short recording that I found at the end of Holocaust that I never put out. I never recorded back man, but it was called up shit, vomit, vomited com and that was a lot of fun. It was just banging on like a cardboard box going boom, boom, boom and then play my guitar in the school, you know, doing my vomit raw girls and just ridiculous. And I did the stupidity make a vile idiot. I did that around 91, too, I think, when I went back, go back in Idaho. And that was just like playing like my Casio, the drum pads, and then doing these like all distorted vocals. And I don't know, I laugh at that. The only thing I don't like about that is that I used a picture of a real long corpse, which later on I was like, yeah, it's kind of disrespectful. I don't know if like that got rereleased. It was that, was it terror alerts in a dark basement and stupidity make it like idiot. And Zach, when he put that together, he used. It's just get the art from terror lurks in the dark basement, which is like a really horrible. My version of an alien on the covers is really bad. It's just bad or it's really crappy, but it's I like it. I think it's funny. But anyways, years went by. I kept doing earwigs, put out a bunch of tapes, ended up, I think it was 98 as when I did Let's Make Love Tonight. That was my first Cd-R, and then a while later I ended up doing What Is a Secret, which was on my own label. The other one was on Scientist Recordings, Mike, my buddy Mike, hey Mike, Mike, scientist and and played a bunch of shows. Not as many shows as I would have liked, but I played, lots of festivals, been invited. I played a couple times and Seattle played near Seattle. played a Portland one time down in a basement. That was a really cool throw. I went kind of crazy, got really pissed off. I got really drunk. But, I've, I haven't played a show now in, like, five years. But, you know, the earwigs started out as kind of like noise court garbage. Then I was trying to do grind noise, like keep calling in an 808. Wasn't in the Ido was, my buddy Adam. It was a drum machine. I was, like, really simple beats, but I did like it was sort of, like, inspired by sore throat. but I recorded, like, 2 or 3 tapes like that, and horns delay. Eleanor loon. Oh, yeah. The Venus sessions, which I just found all that on CD. I got a light rereleased. I got a find. Thank you. Zach. My friend Zach Howard, does fuck music productions. It's put out a lot of Japanese hardcore stuff. A lot of, like, noise core, a lot of, oh, he's shit trash. Really awesome. Dude. Love my brother. he's been one of the biggest supporters of the earwigs. And, but he put that he's put a lot of my stuff to Cd-R, and I guess there's more stuff. And then you get online on Fish Move Productions. There's a lot of my stuff. There's some Adams stuff, the stuff I've done with other friends, a lot of stuff on her, crazy stuff. But it's all free downloads, and I think you put the covers out so I don't care. It's like you make your own copies. Just, you know, you gonna sell a bunch of copies, send us money. We appreciate it because we're broke. Anyways, I've had a lot of fun. I've had a lot of bad times of earwigs. I. I played shows like one show I was playing. didn't know that at the time. What happened with the PA went out. I did about three minutes of noise and the rest of the recording, which I don't know where it's at right now, but it's like ten minutes of me yelling is like, no, that's working. And I started getting really, like, just finally pissed off. but after all those incidents, I'm like, I'm not going to get mad anymore. It's like I play a show. Some goes wrong and doesn't work. Go well. The very last show that I played, we're trying to set it up and wasn't working, did about five minutes, just nothing was working. So I go, okay, this gentleman, that was the year we said, I hope you enjoyed it. this has just been released on limited edition a one Cd-R sold out special packaging. Sorry you missed out. They're all laughing. I call them down. We got everything I wasn't even mad, but we got to set up and I did. Probably one of my worst sets ever. but when I play live, sometimes I wear costumes. I prefer to, I think it's just boring to get up there and look all real. Or it's like, you know, like, I remember interviews with Metallica. They're like, you, you know, we just like to like how we do on a street. I'm like, boring, you know? To each their own. But I like costumes. I wear makeup sometimes. but I've it's been a mix. I'm inspired by a lot of stuff with the earwigs, but I got to say, my biggest inspirations for the earwigs are definitely, the films of Shinya, Komodo, John Carpenter's The Thing. Just like all that crazy. You know, the crazy stuff, man. Like Japanese, you know, Japanese cyberpunk. I'm inspired by a lot of, like, early, earlier, probably the second wave. I like I still like, you know, I love, like, Ramones and Sex Pistols. I guess you could call it the first wave of punk. But anyways, like a lot of the, you know, the LA punk stuff just really inspired me to stay the manic energy. And then of course, you know, sci fi, especially big time anime. Anime is a big time inspiration to me. Horror movies, action movies, 80s pop, a lot of hard rock, you know, Twisted Sister, Rad, Motley Crue, dark and all that. All that stuff inspires me, man. I'm inspired by a lot of stuff, but I wouldn't say when it comes to, noise. Definitely. You know, like the Henrietta Ross is a is a huge inspiration. shoot Hydrocolloid and Rock killer bug is awesome. God, there's a lot of bands. Masada. Big time, a song, a fan very inspired. Yours. His microphone noise, vocal noise. And I've. I've gone crazy. Like, with the microphone, I just I love it. Well, a lot of stuff. Anal cunt, Mensch, impetigo, nuclear death, LED Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix. Although that's not, you know, misfits, Samhain on all. That's not all noise. None of that's noise I don't care. Well you know you know got me noise score. But it was, you know, massacre just like a lot. Just stuff inspires the earwigs man. My dream woman. And like I've said this a long, long, long time ago, I keep. I'll say it again. But looking up at the stars, the moon and the sun and insects and nature and earth. I'm. I'm very, very inspired by a lot of stuff. you know, some people just think that noise is pretentious. Well, go ahead, think that I've been called pretentious, and I try to explain to people and say, well, yeah, if you don't understand it, you never will. But, I've had a lot of fun with the earwigs, and I've tried to quit several times, and it's like a horrible disease. There's no cure, I can't stop. I was I thought it was going to. I thought it was playing a show last spring or in the summer. That never happened. I was kind of bummed out about it, and I was like, that's fine, whatever, you know? And I'm just doing what I want to do and played shows, I don't know, do I want to play a show again? I keep saying I'm never going to play live again. Yeah, right. I don't know. Even if I never did, I can still record. And I am trying to record. I've been like very, very, very slow. I recorded the album. It's on CD now, but it's called Brush Your Teeth a fucking shit I mentioned at my last episode, but it's total shit. It's a lot of just me playing a drum machine with one hand and playing my guitar with one hand. My other hand. You know, and then does yelling with no microphone. And the thing is, it was a lot of fun to do, because as much as I love doing total noise and kind of power electronic type stuff, you know what I like doing total shit because that's what the year we started, I was total garbage. And unlike a lot of bands at all, all my early stuff, you know, like some of these bands like blood that started out doing total shit or whatever, and they're like, oh, we don't stuff. And I've seen him in interviews. I do like trash and on like, noise and stuff, like it's a garbage. That's your opinion? I still think blood is a great band, and I know I probably already mentioned them before and I don't like Mark's wishes. He didn't like I sent him. I sent him on a really short August night. He really short an unofficial rehearsal tape and he sent it back. So that's not really my cup of tea, but thanks. I'm not doing my zine anymore and I kind of hurt my feelings a little bit, but I'm like, you know, whatever. That's cool man. I was hoping that he would review an ezine, but he ended up he did a unit for us. He quit doing that. But I was like, I got over it. And by for a jury from a real circumcision. wherever you're banned, I hope you're still alive. I've been trying to find you since 94. But anyways. Anybody? No jury, AC reject anybody? he was actually distributing my, he was making copies of dismembered. And at the end of it, he'd put really short unofficial August 90th. I thought that was really awesome. That is, he was a total death metal black metal guy, you know, with the exception of the doors, Devo and I think a couple or pop groups. But, you know, jury was all about pretty much stuff about grime, you know, black metal, supposed black metal. Anyways. But he was, he was he would dub copies and send them to people and he had it on his distro list. And that meant a lot to me. That was really cool. but yeah, sometimes making noise is a real challenge. You know, it's like, you know, you do hear, you know, people are like, oh, you're blue reason you do noises cause you can't play an instrument. Well, you know, part of it that's true. The reason why I do noise and the reason why that I do that weeks is because I'm really not a musician. And I'll be honest with you, a is true. Making noise is easy. My thing is, if you don't put your heart into it, you don't put any kind of personality into it. What's the point of doing it? You're just recording noise. You're not. And I think the earwigs definitely has a personality. That was reading something really cool years ago. I was which I magazine was still around, but Banana Fish had an interview with me. You know. Oh, but pronounced name, right. She's one of the queens of noise from seasick. And, this kick ass, really weird, crazy psychedelic noise. I love seasick. See? You're awesome, Hugo. But she said it's a really cool interview. They're talking about noise in it, obviously. And she said, I some about like, I listen to the band before I talk to the person and you can kind of get their personality, you know, what the person is about through their sounds. I wish I could hear exactly what she said, but I thought it was really cool and I was thinking about it's like, yeah, certain bands have their own esthetic and it doesn't matter whatever genre you do, but the supposedly noise. But I always laugh when people think that noise is pointless. Well, you know, that's your opinion, or anybody can record. Yeah anybody can. But like I said, you don't put your personality into it. You don't put your, your your heart into it, your soul. It doesn't really mean anything. It still exists. But, there's all kinds of noise out there. There's total shit. There's like, you know, there's political noise, there's pervert. I don't know, what do you call it, like hentai noise. I love the all, you know what I mean? You got to get the gist of what I'm talking about, but like just different imagery, like I was earlier stuff and a lot of bondage and you know, like, as he put it, cheap porn, you know, collages. And he doesn't he hasn't done that in years. I think what he's doing is pretty refreshing. He's a lot. Sam Aoki does a lot more about animal rights and stuff, which I totally respect. It's great stuff. One of my favorite noise bands, if I forget to mention Mercer, I was a big time, big time inspiration to me. And like, non boiled rice, the noise stuff is just frickin kick ass. In fact, I did, kind of like a little pseudo was kind of a live show. I played for like five people long time ago. I tried doing a cover of an on song. It was actually with a beat. It was pretty cheesy, but it was fun to do and was, everybody and I, we ran. I end up just making more noise. I was pretty, like, minimalist, weird shit. I was using, like an echo box and, my rap man and the microphone, it was fun. It was really fun, though. But. So what am I saying here? My brain is going ding a ling a dingus. I love doing the earwigs and I've slowed down a lot. I do record off and on. I have a whole bunch of stuff on one of my SD cards. I need to take that stuff off and do something with it, because I've done, I don't know if I've done enough stuff for an album, but at least for like a split. And I feel bad because I had the dude from chaos VG try to get Ahold of me and I swear, dude, I apologize. I don't even know if you're going to hear it. But anyways, everybody knows I got, I need to get back in touch with them. I'm not being a rock star, dick. He's asked me if I want to be on a comp. I would, but I. I still don't really know how to do all this. You know, the transfer and like with SD card, it's like, oh, you just put on a little readers I, you put in your computer. Well yeah, easier said than done. But anyways, my goal, one of my big goals this year is learn how to do all this stuff, get all this stuff going. I love to be on that. On that four band split, man. I'm also I did the online split with last Action and I completely forgot. Carl, you're an awesome dude. let's find out a way of getting that the CD. We could put that out as, like, a three inch CD, VR. I don't know anybody. You know, I have the file. I just I don't know, man. I see all this stuff, and I'm flattered. I'm really flattered because I get some really cool emails. I get the kindest words for people that are like, dude, you're freaking legend. And it means a lot to me. And I've had people say that I inspired them to start noise. I got my buddy Adam, from Tommy Cup. Amy. He's his lovely wife. Cheers, guys. they do really cool experimental stuff, and we're supposed to be doing a split, and I've. All these people are like, dude, I want to do a split with you. It's like, I would love to, but the problem is, is it's like the setup, you know what I mean? Recording. And that's something I've always had a problem with. I had a four track and that sucker died about two years ago. What was it? No. A year ago I recorded Conflagration Song like a 30s song, and it just went like the stop button just pretty much broke. And anyways, I don't want to spend too much more time talking about the problems, technical difficulties, but they always are pretty much a spinal tap. Always, because I've had so many problems. But I keep doing it one play shows with many, many, many cool bands. Lots of cool bands. Pop culture respect. idea 1274. One of the biggest thrills was playing with Ron Lessard from Emo Bolero, but he put out a split seven and 20 years ago with Sonic Disorder in The Earwigs, which to this day I'm still beyond flattered. I think about wow, legendary label RR played with, Frank Sturgeon. Prurient, camped play with, Rat Bastard. He's like one of the coolest people I've ever met. I've played. I can see that. He set up, Him.in Louis world of Ron Louis M pardon Purdum did in Spokane. the legendary Rest in Peace object space warehouse. Bruce Orman said to name and also awaken lights is another legendary crazy cool weird ambient noise project long dead. But just awesome. But would Ritual Hate do I just mentioned them? The split with them, Split Seed and a cassette and I'm trying to find out right now because I'd love that out again, because, the part where I ran to the bathroom right in the middle mass and I puked and I don't know, people said you could hear me. I mean, really listen, that's true. I was not sure on years, probably would morph, take down UAB, play with a lot of freaking band and a lot of cool bands. I just right now I can't remember the names of of some of them. was it, but I, I played Seattle quite a few times. Played Portland, played Spokane many, many, many times. You know, obviously space checkerboard, accrete and hop, which I miss. I will always be grateful they played their way there. So we were going to play at the hop, but that ended up not happening. And then TC sold the place. And unfortunately the young lady that took over G and we run up the business a while back and it's sad because I was like one of the only places for metal shows, and they had a lot of drag shows and all that. I think that's totally cool. And unfortunately, that venue's Long gone stout right? Downtown. but the weird weeks. I was also really, really inspired by Gwar. I'm like, I built my own, like, giant, you know, mutant cannons and stuff. I have the hell. Canon 077X1 2000 weapon. I need to fix it. I've had people ask me several times, dude, are you going to bring that to a show? It's like I'd love to if I had, like, you know, room to carry and had and actually, you know, working. Right. And I've got to cast, as a hockey mass. I just, you know, whatever road warrior type stuff. so I was a keep and makeup. I looked like King Diamond was a Love King diamond. But the earrings is baton and experience. And, as much as sometimes I'd like to say I quit. I have quit many times, but I always come back, you know, I come back and do stuff again. And like I said, I've been really slow. But the earwigs are not dead. there's too much of inspiration. And, you know, I, I every year I will I'm going to come back and it's like, I'm still around, but I just haven't really done anything. And and, you know, it's my own fault, this lack of inspiration, getting older felt really beat up. I used to have a lot of energy for the earwigs. I used to do just go crazy. but those days are not done yet. but, you know, that's how life goes sometimes. But I'm definitely not done yet, and I'm sure I'll play a show again sometime. Even I like to tell people I'm part of the shit scene. I'm not part of the noise scene. I'm not part of any scene and part of the shit scene because I don't care. But that's also that's not an insult. Me, the eraser or anything. It's just I like to use the word shit scene. I just think about that scene and man bites dog. We're like all guys, I said. I said it myself every day. Did you did, la la la la. That's kind of like the earwigs right there. Old guy laying in a bed singing about shitting himself. Pretty cool. Pretty hilarious, as you ask me. Does it made sense? But, it'll bring up Hong Kong action films are definitely a big, inspiration to my noise and definitely mad Max two. My favorite movie of all time. Of course, six tunes on massacre, but all the crazy stuff that I love inspires my noise. Because just think about that stuff. a little, maybe not. A known fact is, every time, most every time before I play a show, either the night before or the day of, you know, that I'm going to play a show at night is I always watch this hydrocolloid and live at the 20,000. What is it? That club is that Kingdom of Noise video. But I always I watch the hydrocodone set and that is like direct inspiration, so it gives me height. I've also been known to watch Burst City by easy so goal. So go easy on I freaking love it's got the Stalin on it. The Red rockers. It's just like kick ass cyberpunk, Japanese cyberpunk, badass rock and roll movie and just gets me going, man. And of course, drinking coffee helps to. Yeah, you know, I'm going to keep doing it anyways. I've done, I've done like five records. Now I got an LP is going to come out this year. Once I get all my stuff together, it's gonna be a double LP on breathing problem. Breathing problems. sell me a collection of like a my older a dry noise and noise core stuff. See if I can find some obscure crap to put on here. But be what? A lot of people haven't heard that stuff now, so it'll be kind of new to them. Supposed to be a gatefold album, so I want to use a lot of crazy old art and maybe take a really ugly picture myself up. Pretty excited about it. Probably doing a four way split with chaos VG and then I what was it, a band, for the Christ. My old friend talked about that for years. Let's just get off the pot and do it. I hope one day to do another split with, El eclipse new because I did that, split. And that was just that was a very, very honored by that, my friend. So thank you for putting that out. I came out in Japan and then buddy moved to the US, and I hope things are going good for you, man. You're good. Dude, we need to get back in touch. I love your noise. I need to catch up on your stuff. I have like the first four CDs and a comp you gave me a long time ago, but I need to catch up on all your stuff because it's really great. But lots of stuff, you know, plan to kind of in the back of my brain. I'm sure it's all going to happen. Just need to get serious about it. but there reason definitely not that I'm going to keep making freak noise and hopefully want to play a really insane show. I'll do something like, well, excuse me, the Hannah Ross like, drive driving tractors are building something. Yeah, but no, I want to just do crazy stuff, and I don't want to. I'm not going to follow the rules. The rules don't follow the rules of noise. Rules are a joke. I've been named as one of the top ten worst live noise bands by iHeart noise. And you know what? I would like to give a big fuck off to you guys because I heard that, you know, it was a few years ago, but, several years ago, you guys were exposed that you had a little under site sort of speak. Somebody hacked you and just talking shit about all the bands, doctor. You know, is there a bunch of elite dicks? But anyways, I'm, kind of flattered by that. I'm sure it was somebody out here in Spokane like, the pain is terrible. Well, good for us, because I don't care. Just like the show, I don't get to really to the point, although this episode has definitely been more focused as well. My band, I like to wear bad wigs too. but mark my words, the wigs will definitely. Yeah, I think they're wigs will be playing shows again and it will be something crazy. Don't expect some boring guy up on stage. The sooner you do something good, like that crap, I'm sure I'll do my love song to my girl, as I always do every time. Anyways, I'm sure the next show will be crazy and over the top and nuts and I also just completely forgot to mention. But one of my biggest inspirations to of course, is Glenn and the mentors in the white House. that's a MSB, your government Alpha. who are, you know, all the crazy costumes wearing costumes. Just. This is my thing, if you like, or if you want to wear regular clothes on stage, you decide you dress normally. That's fine. I'm not Reagan. I love Marlow. Eggplant. I'm sorry. It's, Marlo de Laura now. she retired the name, but she makes great noise, and she is just a really cool guy. Let's just awesome to do this split with you. We've talked about one for several years now. Kind of an ABBA theme going on there. Total glam space thing going on. That would be awesome. I'd love to do that. I hope we do that because you're awesome and I hope you're doing good, my friend. And your critters and your your, your good man and all that. You're there. You know what I mean? Your partner. Husband. I wish you guys the best. But everybody that's ever supported Aries. I really appreciate the kindness. And Merle is definitely one of the kindest people that I've met. And as some people that I just don't hear from anymore. And I hope they're all doing good and try to get a hold of Ron again from our redeemable Leo. I don't even know if he's even doing his label or anything, so send them an email quite a while ago. No response. But anyways, let's all wrap Time's Up. So what was on my point? The earrings. An alien noise destruction music, sci fi anime, mutant robot, outer space UFO alien monster freak kaiju. Meteor shower space band. maybe you'll see us at the MOS Eisley cantina someday. Anyways, Star Wars star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Buck Rogers, Flash Gordon, Black Hole, all that stuff, major inspirations do blah blah blah. Anyways, you can look up the always online. Do you find videos on YouTube? I got an Instagram that I keep forgetting to mention. It's, alienated seven seven, eight and you can tell it's me. Just look at it. There's all kinds of crazy pictures, dumb stuff. But I want to say hello to all past, present and future noise freak. Weirdo. you know, there's a reason music people do, but specifically noise weirdos. love all you guys. Princess. Wear my wedding combat, my friend. I had a sobering charge. Which, for the life of me. Because your band is such a long, long, long name. But I've still honor. We did that. Three in split. See the artists do something again. Something my brother. I love you, my little brother. And everybody out there. Thank you. Adam. Jim. From men's to peace, everybody. Thanks. Even Billy. Resa back when you used to do stupidity and be a freak. Thanks, dude. Sean. Fecal matter, discord, overrated. Everybody hearing Daniel Lee clips knew all you weirdos that have, like, you know, supported. You always watch love and respect. So, hey, this has been over. I do a or do some time that lab down the road brain's about explode. I gotta get going pretty shortly, so stay sick. Takes care. Don't forget to change your underwear. Because if you don't, you'll get some really bad rashes and get a swamp going on down there. So yeah, keep the Phil BCA ginger forever. what else? I don't know, I think that's about it because, I got a yeah, I got I cut this off. So later kids to.
