Back To The Future?

Been a real long time.  Long gone time.  Back in March, Mikey flew out, we played a few shows and finally recorded a record at House of Faith in 24 hours.  Then he went back to New York, and we haven't really done anything since then.

For a long time Knifey Spoony existed with Mikey in New York, and fill in bass players on the west coast.  Max Nordile, Barker Gee and Scott Rideout all did a bang up job playing Mikey's parts, but as everyone's lives get busy, and I keep having to teach songs to people it just got harder and harder to do.  Add that to the death of our van and no immediate plans of Mikey coming back to the West Coast, we went on a hiatus.  And the record sat on my computer.  Sorry.

I hope one day we can play again.  Hopefully this record will see some sort of physical release.  In the meantime Mikey's working and jamming with folk in New York (I think).  Mick is still doing Prison Library and since Sebastian moved back to Oakland, Processors is up and running again.  I started writing songs under the moniker Yogurt Brain and performing with just drummers, still an Uzi Rash musician until the 5 year expiration date occurs on November 29, playing drums in County and plugging away with Huff Stuff Magazine.

That being said, here is the record.  Thank you for listening.

Rembrandt Pussyhorse Blues

Got 2 shows with Mikey coming up in the same weekend.  Then it's rehearsing a ton before recording!

 

Saturday March 10 - @ The Parkside, San Francisco, with Glitter Wizard, Lecherous Gaze, Hot Lunch

Sunday March 11 - @ Sugar Mountain, Oakland, with Yi, County and Sweet Nothing

Hibernation, Malnutrition, Masturbation...

Pretty much sums up the past few months in the Knifey Spoony camp - and not necessarily in that order.  Been hiding out and writing new songs for the LP which is going to be recorded finally in March at House of Faith by Bart Thurber (Hickey, Neurosis, Spazz, Exhumed, + many more).  To get ready we got some shows coming up again which include a trip up to Portland for the Bender again, plus some other groooovy local shows including:

 Wed Feb 1 - @ 1234 Go Records with Sister Fucker and Culture Kids
Sunday Feb 5- @ Slabtown BENDER day 3 w/ Kid Congo, Don't, P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S., Autistic Youth, Forever Baby, plus more
Fri Feb 17- 924 Gilman Street w/ Wild Moth, Snaggletooth, + more

Me old mate Barker Gee is filling in on bass for these February shows until March when Mikey get's back for recording.  Then he's off again - so who knows??

Mick and I just got back from Uzi Rash tour supporting our new record I Was 30 in 2012 on Volar Records.  Whyte Rash Time featuring us will be out sometime by Dead Beat Records.

Huff Stuff Magazine records are going to be coming out soon including a 7" on 1-2-3-4 Go!.

More disinformation later.  Possibly.

too much tv...

Been a few months.  Lot's of the same ol' going on.  But we recorded for a split with Kicking Spit with Brian Hamilton, Mikey went back to school, and we've played some rad shows.  Scott Rideout from Genesis Climber has been filling in and doing wonderfully.  Got some shows coming up including

Lot's o' great bands coming out of the woodwork for this one.  Don't sleep!

We're playing with Fuzzy Cloaks at Mama Buzz on Wednesday June 21 too.  Great dudes from the Pharmacy - and they might have a wah smoke machine pedal.  Stay tuned!

In other news,  Huff Stuff Magazine are pretty much readily available.  Recorded by Brian Hamilton and mastered by yours truly, there's about 7 or 8 songs, maybe 9, that we recorded and rerecorded, remixed, etc., finally to be done.  Also, Dead Broke Rekerds is putting out a discography of Barker and mine's old band, Jean Claude Jam Band.  Listen to it here!

Writing new songs, getting em ready for that full length...

Same ol' same ol'...

Back From Tour, New 7", News and Upcoming Shows

We're back!  To state the obvious, thanks to all the help that everyone gave us.  Too many to crucial houses and people to name and I hope to see all of you in the future.  Check your mailboxes for some beer box postcards from Oakland.

Right before we left we got our 300 7"s from Palimino Records (for all of you looking for a good, friendly, cheap pressing plant I highly recommend them) and we still have a good amount left.  Hand crafted art and three songs for your mass consumption.  You can purchase them at the all new Orifice Dorm Store section of the blog.

Mikey's still in town and we'll be rehearsing and recording new songs.  Two are going to come out on an upcoming split with Kicking Spit.  One of them will be a cover of a Kicking Spit song like the Mudhoney/Sonic Youth Sub Pop singles split, and the other a new original that hasn't been recorded yet.  Will it see the light of the day? Hopefully!  Plus our full length will be finished and recorded soon...

Got some shows while Mikey's back too.  Number one is next week with The Goochi Boyz, Pacific Pride, and that hillbilly fuck King Lollipop.  Check the flyer for more info.  Then after that Uzi Rash goes on tour for a week with Unnatural Helpers and we get back to play Summer Bummer and Total Trash. 

See you dickheads soon!
