LIL' SHAVERS- 2 bits


this was recorded after a one fell swoop session ,with me,chipmunk,sean sommers,t.j.,and shannon.quite noisy,kinda heavy metallish,shannon does most of the singing,sounding sexy.she fakes an orgasm on here,and sean does some hilarious vocals.hard to say what this is,weird alt-punk,or acid-punk,it's out there.try to listen to this!the last track is from the aforementioned ofs session(titled,nubiles galore,i wonder why?),with joel,of course,and shannon on vox.t.j. and shannon were about 15-16 when this was recorded,and ofs were a bunch of perverted 20 somethings.from joel's room at cat machine house from 1992.

HEADLAUNCHERS


this little combo sprang up from joel,and i believe(joel correct me if i'm wrong)frank t.,tall ray,mike mezaros(mcschwuggles),someone else i can't recall,and later ,chipmunk.kinda alternative /psych/grunge/schwag ,with keys,guitar, bass,drums,and some vocals,where i think everyone gets a turn or two in some cases.really introspective,real life situationists,who could jam a carrot or a hat box,if no actual instruments were readily available.a cover of "wipe out" is included,kinda velvet/sonic/butts sound goin' down,i'm sure joel could add some commentary in the comments box below.check that for more info!for now,just slip this on and relax!

QUAALUDE--another lude


once again the slowest doom band ever,period,end of story!this version of quaalude is me,joel,chipmunk,billy,shane,and sean sommers,and is all on one speaker,sorry,we did'nt even know the tape was recording so fast,so in playback it was super mega slow,so how were we to know it would only record on one speaker?we did'nt.some fine trumpet playing by shane on."lower east mexico,ft.myers" and some scary vocals on the 4th and final track.this was actually recorded minutes before the other quaalude tape(look on this blog for it!) and has shorter songs.pretty industrial and spooky.check it out.baroque dub by tardly friends

APOCALYPTIC CENTURIONS


This is the first recording ever of the Apocalyptic Centurions.The band was me,Joel Rizzo,Chipmunk,Shane Carwile,and for some unknown reason,Nicholas Dunphee.Some things on here soon changed with the advent of the coming of the reign of the Apocalyptic Centurions.For one,there are some keyboards,a no-no in the greatest guitar orchestra of all time.Second,there are some vocals,next, actual formed songs,finally ,the appearance of Dunphee.When the live shows began,all this went into the trash,so we could be a fully instrumental,all guitar orchestra (with an ever-shifting line-up of guys with guitars ,eager to sign up for the cause!),and of course drums.Chipmunk and I both sing a little,mostly instrumental,with a foreshadowing of the trademark Centurions sound,of guitar noise and feedback,kinda Branca-like in parts.The only studio recording,made in the spacious living room of the old Cat Machine house.And it all began with the picture above,I saw it in Joel's room and said something like,"witness the rise of the almighty Apocalyptic Centurions!"and a new band was spawned!

INSECT T-SHIRTS



this little loud ,noisy band was comprised of me,tony rizzo,ron bohn,and chipmunk.loads of guitar,delay pedal,and a crazy sounding drum machine.only 9 songs,but they are long!me,tony,and chipmunk,all take a vocal turn,mostly instrumental tho'.the last track has samples from t.v. sounds like nothing else you ever heard,so it's hard to describe.if you like freaky spacy type bands,this is for you.if you like loud noisy bands,this is for you.if you like the black eyed peas,this is not for you!experimental and joyous,breathtaking and soaring to new heights in rock n roll

BLACK NERD-LIVE!



one of their only recordings,this is live at the draft house.sean burch (monson),billy,shane,and chipmunk,all play.i did not split the tracks to preserve the continuity,also i could'nt find where to split them.there's more tracks than are listed(see zip for list and flyers) but i know there's a descendents cover as well as a dinosaur jr. cover.pretty punk rockin' lively set.most art by billy.
started out as a zine by me,then these guys adopted the name,so i changed my zine(after only one issue,with a run of 13 copies)to mad asshole digest.




CONVEYOR -rare reel-to-reel recording


Just 1 track of Conveyor,rare reel to reel mixed down by Doug Shannon.I think it's Joel ,Billy,Vance,and Dom on vocals.Joel can reveal more in the comments.Got lots more of this band,just no track lists.This is the rarest of all Conveyor tracks.Kinda psych punk,with Jim Morrison's cum stain singing.Art by Billy Drake

GANKSTERS

This was part of a split with Girls U.S.A. back in Feb. of 92.Me ,Joel,Chipmunk,Ron and Tony are the participants.The t.v. provides background noise,(vocals?).A 2 song affair which is all it took to move on to the next project.As long as the inspiration lasted,I guess!The music is sloppily put together and someone was messing with the pitch control on track one.Only improved the song,I say.Not long,just long enough to drive you to madness,or the next peanut butter sandwich.You got ganked!Grafitti the pyramids!

HACKENSACK KILLERS



Nov.9,1991,live at Gramps' house of Cat Machine in the Joelsters room,is the date and location.Band is Me,Joel,Chipmunk,and Ron Bohn.Great songs of murder,killings,Ohio(tequila,sorta),VH,Dio,voodoo,and Cannibal Dope Fiends.I'm from new jersey,and always thought all killers should live in "hack and sack"!Joel takes a shower on tracks 8 and 9,but is back for track 10,the aforementioned,"Cannibal Dope Fiends".Sounds like a fantastic name for a new up and coming punk band!Very much fun here,like nachos and beer,goes down smooth,comes out pasty!
addition to art(and concept execution)by me(funny,huh?)

BOOGIE WOOGIE BRAINWASH


Jan. 18.1992,live in Joel's room at Cat Machine house,this was recorded.Me,Joel,Chipmunk,Billy,Shane,and Francis"Ron"Bohn,were the band.Just a quick little tape to pass time while waiting for anything.Fair to middlin' guitarin' in the grungy punk style ,familiarized by the Ft. Myers contingent.If you doubt anything you hear on this tape,remember,you were there!Has nothing remotely to do with boogie,woogie,or brainwashing!Scientologists are fucking stupid!Kill one every day!

CHIPMUNK


an inconspicuous, shy,mysterious man,can be heard here.member of many bands,including some pretty high profile alternative bands(which we can't mention here,sorry),in tons of sluggisha bands,he of the crazy lyrics and insane vocal stylations,mad guitar skills,and a love of the beatles and the beach boys that goes beyond the norm.one of the finest guitarists i've personally known,and a great friend and bandmate.this is some of his solo experimentations,and songs with these bands,:the headlaunchers,gutbucket,black nerd,insect t-shirts,apocalyptic centurions(from their only non-live recording,the original cat machine house tapes),hackensack killers,boogie woogie brainwash,one fell swoop.cat machine,and the candy butchers.covers of dinosaur jr.,dick dale,sonic youth,the shaggs,and sly and the family stone.lots of record and tape manipulations to start off this journey,and lots of overblown guitar!one of the best musicians with one of the greatest musical knowledges,to ever have existed.don't miss this,some good stuff that should not be missed,check this blog for more of chipmunk's work,thanks,G O D. p.s. pic is of his grade school girlfriend,can't put his pic for fear of exposure.

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 2-two



this is the second (third if you count both duos as one band)and final release from magic nose goblins 2.dec. 91,at joel's,me and chipmunk do it again.a little louder than past tapes,a couple of televisions are on for the whole proceedings,making for weird backround noise,and voices from out of nowhere.art is by food fortunata of sockeye and wheelchair records fame.my favorite magic nose goblins song is on this one,i sing and play keys on it,it's titled,"good turns bad",and rings true.a great ending to the magic nose goblins trilogy,click here,or pick here ,as it were:http://www.mediafire.com/file/rjtcrnz5myz/magic nose goblins 2-two.zip

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 2



this second duo is me and chipmunk.yes the 1st magic nose goblins was in homage to him,then he replaced joel in the band!?what's up?well this was recorded at my pad in lehigh about 3 a.m.,and has great samples ,mostly focusing on a leave it to beaver episode,but also has snippets of manson,jerry lewis,and other notables.very cool and different from magic nose goblins 1.chipmunk is one hell of a guitarist,he could play a pineapple and make it sound good!well enjoy this anyway and check out the posts below and above this for more fun!art by basil wolverton,i believe.click here kids:http://www.mediafire.com/file/hmynlkyzndy/magic nose goblins 2.zip

MAGIC NOSE GOBLINS 1


we loved ren and stimpy,so we formed 2 bands called,"magic nose goblins",and distinguish them by calling them 1 or 2.

both are duos,this one is me and joel,in his room,at gramps's(cat machine house).we were supposed to be recording the 4th one fell swoop tape,but the night before chipmunk stole his mom's car,and wrecked it,all highed up. we went downtown,the next morning,where he worked for his mom,and he said,"my life is over",which of course wasn't true.so me and joel went back home and recorded this semi tribute to our fallen bandmate.the last track is funny as we give him a stern talking to.good lyrics,rockin' music,joel sings a few,i sing the rest,and it all turns out like crap,with a cherry on top!forget about the other bands using this name,we were the originals back in 1991.click here for the real magic nose goblins 1:http://www.mediafire.com/file/h4m1ynwkmzf/magic nose goblins 1.zip

me,joel and chipmunk,in our little alt-rock trio,me and chip on guitars,jorl on drums,except when he sings,me on drums,we all sing,mostly me.i wrote the lyrics and we cover,flamin'groovies,the fall,syd barrett,hendrix,stooges,sonic youth,led zeppelin,and black flag.kinda electric eels style,no bass,just guitars.we sound much different live,with a real drum kit,instead of our usual kit(see other one fell swoop post for details)and the flyer on the other post is for this show ,the flyer on this post is for a show a week later,black nerd opened for us(i'll post that later),and we had a big crowd of locals who were rather pissed at my intro to"red letter day"when i razz nirvana for their sell out video(smells like...)on mtv at the time,lots of folks walked out after i make my comments,oh well,they missed the rest of a hell of a good show!we aquired a residence as the house band at the draft house for some time after this.i was the one who got them to let us play and start a scene in our crappy little town.kinda busted open the floodgates for a million embryo alt rock bands and punks to play and hang out,before that downtown was just drunken bums hangin at the bar.lots more live and studio tapes to come.the first track is an improv,which we usually used to apply to a regular set list,we'd always do a few improv jams.a fine document of a fantastic band,stay tuned for more,for now click here:http://www.mediafire.com/file/jynzwdmawng/ONE FELL SWOOP-first show live 1-31-92-the draft house.zip

PANTHER PISS




this band was a one -off project with 8 members.me ,chipmunk,billy,shane,vance,chuck,sean,and fred,all took part.chuck's bass lines really hold this all together.kinda am-rep/sonic youth/free jazz,type of sound,some instros,some vox.don't let the 1st track fool you,we were going for that,"the tape deck is eating your tape sound"(this was originally on cassette),to freak people out.has some sax on a few tracks as well.can't pin down a genre,as with most of our bands,so just download and listen up,click here:   https://archive.org/download/PantherPiss/126PantherPiss.zip

STONEHENGE MOUTH--strictly the phedinkus


about 2:30-3:30 a.m.,october 10th 1991,at my house,this was recorded.one of our famous one-off bands,me,tony,joel,and chipmunk.great mood created by the late hour,straight to boombox.some tracks have the one fell swoop drum kit(see the one fell swoop post for more info on that matter),and there's one instro,and each of us sing one,for a total of 5 tunes.the standout fave for me is the 3rd track,"off my hooves",which tony wrote the words to,i play bass,one of my finest bass lines ever,and it's my pick of the various versions of this song(boneshaker does a faster version,totally different music,tony,ron,vance,but that's for a future post)one of my top 20 greatest sluggisha songs,ever!!in closing let me say,this is a fine jamming band,check the line-up,one of many bands with the same members,yet with a sound all it's own,but it's awfully hard to scrub the cat machine off!.click here buddy:  https://archive.org/download/StonehengeMouth--strictlyThePhedinkus/122StonehengeMouth.zip

the ANGRY REDNECKS



Me ,Tony,Joel,and Chipmunk, were on our way to record something at the bakery.On the way there we had a road rage run-in with some rednecks,who appeared to be furious with us for being cooler than them ,apparently,and in the course of their ignorance,gave us a name for this project,we were about to embark on.Utilizing huge metal bread proofing cabinets,for part of the percussion,and other instruments of baking as musical instruments,as well as guitars, bass, drums,make for strange bedfellows.Other bands also recorded in this factory, including,Jesus Freak and the Barefoot Bandit,and Whoreshack.This ,as with other of our bands,is practically indescribable,but the final track may yield a clue in the title,"Humans Reared In Institutions".This is basically the sound of this project,with a Lubricated Goat cover.Don't disregard this as noise or industrial,this thing rocks the fuck out! P.S. the sign in the pic above has nothing to do with our band,but there is no cover art ,so's ,ready-made,in the tradition of the early dadaists and surrealists,which I like to think of me and my bandmates,and almost everything on this blogspot as.Grab this now,and kill rednecks today!Oh yeah,one more note,what's the difference between a good ol' boy and a redneck?a good ol' boy raises livestock,a redneck gets emotionally involved!Ha ha!Click here:  https://archive.org/download/TheAngryRednecks/120TheAngryRednecks.zip
