woah, on another note, hostile take overs in newyork? crazy. the internet is slow as hell, and we can only hope for the best at this point. Much love to N.Y and all of the deceased. Lets hope that it stops here, but we all know the U.S is gonna come back 10x's as hard, which will only make problems worse....I posted some pictures below in case the big news sites are just to bogged down to give you access. Feel free to discuss this matter on the message board.

-seriously, who needs some flashy website...this site needs to be more focused on content, which is what is going to happen in the near near future. Interviews, reviews, more photo's, more music, and more of california. Ben, I hope your with me on this, or else...this site( as much as i hate to say it) might be a complete waste of time. so lets cut all the fancy bullshit and make some friends eh? I will work on getting some more content like interesting news and shit, free stuff, and...the likes. How about radio? you all want some streaming music? okay, its on. feel free to email me with any ideas, comment's and such. Also , in the live section, we will be telling you about all of the the local shows that we think you should check out, along with the great soundmangle crew shows.

-0k, so the link for the mintyfresh show was broken, sorry about that, the live set can be found here [ removed ].
NEW MP3z-check em out in that mp3 section.
In other news, chaki and sprek will be performing live in their underwear in North Hollywood with books on tape [ link ] at the California Institute of Abnormal arts. This venue sounds very interesting and we are all very excited about this show.(finally a local gig...sheesh)
a little piece about the CIA-
"C.I.A. -- the California Institute for Abnormal Arts -- smack dab in the middle of the
Auto Repair Shop District of North Hollywood. Referred to by
host-coowner-former mortician Carl Crew as a "multidimensional art
facility," the creepy carnival/funhouse motif was slightly terrifying to say
the least, with such memorable decor as a severed arm and a dead fairy (?)
inside cabinets surrounded by explosives"
hope to see you there, check the live page for more info on directions.
also hope to be playing another version of imputor? [ link ] soon, check back for further info.
CalArts parties coming back soon? just might happen...
