SLUGGISHA TAPES 33 YEARS OLD!!! SLUGGISHA BLOGSPOT 15 YEARS ONLINE!! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

 

Yup,33 years ago today,I started my mailorder cassette catalog of bands I was in,and bands of my friends.A lot of that music is now available on this blog,(I know lots of links are dead,I am trying to get everything back to normal),I have begun to put most stuff onto bandcamp ,found here: https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/  .I have also added more videos to the Sluggisha youtube found here : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmgC9elXBKwxPHQw_PUkTw . The newest Z.A.T.H. cd " Zap All Those Humans" will be released sometime in the near future by T.E.D. Records a/k/a Thee Epileptic Dragonfly Records ,from France.They also released Karen Greenlee Army- KGA - "Cooking With Friends" cd,and Noisekillr ,"The 7 Walls Of Elite Darkness" cd,as well as a bunch more swell stuff! Z.A.T.H.  has a bandcamp too,with every release so far,and even a few preview tracks from the upcoming,aforementioned new release! Z.A.T.H.  can be found here : https://zath2.bandcamp.com/ . I have also ,this year,been working on the debut LP of Young Jit OG,a few tracks in the can,a bunch on the board,all my bars are in my head an on some papers,there's even a couple remixes already brewin'! Also coming up,and what I am currently working on is Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza # 13 ,slated for an early December release date! All of the past Xmastravaganza's .as well as other Sluggisha Christmas releases ,are documented on their own bandcamp,found here: https://sluggishasxmastravaganza.bandcamp.com/music 



It's also the 15th year of Sluggisha Tapes prescence on the internet. If you put "Sluggisha" or "Sluggisha Tapes" into any search engine,you will be greatly rewarded with multitudes of "Music You Will Hear Nowhere Else"  ,which is G O D's catchphrase ,from his WGOD Godcasts,of music from all over the spectrum,from Sluggisha's roster of artists thru the years,to exotica,grindcore,punk rock,metal,rockabilly,jazz,black metal,kraut rock,avant garde,death metal ,and many other genres and sub genres of musics.If you've never heard it before,YOU NEED TO! In other terms,"If you know,you know" This blog will continue to remain active indefinitely into infinity,perhaps.Or it could all end today,due to an untimely death. You ,the reader of this here blog,are the ultimate decision-maker,as to what the fate of Sluggisha is to be.Let me know,in the comment,your favorite Sluggisha release,what you want to see re uploaded ,(ultimately,all will be re-upped),how you feel about the future of music,and if you will join me for this year's Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza #13 (facebook page is here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550701630567 ),either as an artist,musician,or a spectator/listener,these things I would like to know. There is so much in the works,I hesitate to speak of,as many things never reach fruition for years! Thanks for so many years of great fandom and followers! Keep going!

Started as a mailorder cassette label in 1990, to distribute my own music,as well as that of friends and aquaintances.As I ,and the label grow older,the releases have slowed. There is so much more to come,though,and it will be a massive waterfall of years of pent-up releases,that have backed up the whole damn dam!Slowly the links on this blog are coming back,now using bandcamp to store releases,go here to download new,and old releases, https://sluggishatapes.bandcamp.com/         Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza returns this xmas season,after missing the last 2 years due to the state of the world. But this year ,volume #12 comes roaring back,picking up where #11 left off in 2019. All the Xmastravaganzas,and other xmas releases from Sluggisha,are located on this page!   https://sluggishasxmastravaganza.bandcamp.com/music   Also,looking for all thos swell Z.A.T.H.  releases,with myself and my pal Food Fortunata,as the most tardcore duo in history?? look no further ,as this is the ONLY place you will find these releases online!! (besides some stuff on youtube!)  https://zath2.bandcamp.com/   Sluggisha's youtube page has been busy since this time last year,when xmas songs were added ,and more stuff has followed,and continues coming! looky here for more!!  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrmgC9elXBKwxPHQw_PUkTw?view_as=subscriber         I plan on uploading much more older stuff,still working on tons of new releases,lots of youtube coming up,working also on podcasts,and focusing now on SLUGGISHA'S XMASTRAVAGANZA #12  2022. I get kicked off facebook frequently,and right now ,both my pages are in jail,since I am a criminal.To help me ,and to get yourself something in return,PLEASE go to one or all of my bandcamp pages,and gimme a lil love in the form of listens ,downloads,and most of all,$$$$ ,    I really need it,as I have not had a job since 2019,when I became homebound.Still active,until the day I die,wont stop kicking til the bitter end! Thank you all,for years of support,and thank you to all bands,and bandmates of myself,and my family and friends! Cheers to Sluggisha 32/14 years!!

Z.A.T.H. - Zardoz Agnostic Termination Horde



The latest from ZATH,who are currently at work on their third Xmas release! This album was titled by a ZATH freak from Germany ,Morris Vollmann. Great cover versions of My Dog Popper,Rancid Vat ,and Lefty Frizell! Plus all the fun tardcore that ZATH always displays on each release.This is the first time that Food did not draw the art for the cover.I actually took pictures of this statue near where I live,because I always liked it ,and i just realized why ,when I was taking these photos.It resembles one of Food's artistic creations ,chiseled in stone!Food did the front cover work ,while I did the back side,in more ways than one!ha ha! Great tunes about the upcoming election ,and the candidates,as well as other topical ,and not so topical,subjects. If anyone is interested in purchasing any of the ZATH cds ,they are all available for $4 apiece ,or I can strike a deal with you ,If you wanna invest in the full set of discs!This is the "new wave" in music ,right now! MTV and VH1 ,can't find a way to get to us,to put us in their rotation,so they are shit outta luck.While you ,my friends,are some of the luckiest folks alive,to be able to hear this fabulous band's latest ,for free ,on this here blog.C'mon and download it! And leave some comments,you crumbs!

ZATH - Zonked Alcoholic Tinsel Humbug -2011 xmas

ZATH's second Christmas album (last year's "Zither Away The Holidays" ,was a real hit!) ,leads off with a decidedly un-christmas song ,Lennonburger's ode to Ronald Reagan ,"Reagum"! There are trashings of traditional xmas songs ,and very original carols for the future children.There is also a non-album track coming out on the,"Sluggisha's Xmastravaganza III" compilation ,due any day now! Some favorite titles include ,"Hark,The Herald Beefing Ting Ting E.P." , "Do You Oi What I Oi?" , "Merry Anarchistmas" , "No Beer Under The Christmas Tree" , "The Little Dum Boy Who Fell Out Of A Whore" ,"A Very GG Allin Christmas" ,as well as many more. Also included is ZATH's very first instrumental ,"Don't Invite Bob Over On Christmas ,Because He Will Ruin Everything" ,featuring Bob ,of Cauliflower Ass & Bob on trumpet! (Bob actually plays trumpet on a lot of tunes here!) The last track ,"Crucial Christmas" is a Crucial Youth xmas song (the music) ,and Food gives the rundown on his Crucial Youth vinyl collection ,while admitting he has never heard the xmas e.p. ,and pontificating over the music of "Christmastime For The Skins". And dig that wacky art ,drawn as only Food can do it!This is the best xmas album you will hear this year!!

Z.A.T.H.- Zamboni Adventure Through Hell


A third release pops out of the ass of the tardcore machine,nay,institution,known as Z.A.T.H.
Once again Food and I, exchanged tunes,and added vocals on each others music.This is definitely the most experimental we've gotten as of yet.There are some straight-out songs,then there are mind-bending musics and vocals like you never heard before.This is about as stupid as it gets,what with tunes about, corduroy meatballs,chocolate teeth,baseball champions,monster trucks,the Residents,giant turtle vomit,cheeto eating mummies,and much more,no stone is left untur(ne)d.Great covers of a Devo song(Mongoloid),and one by German metal giants,Sodom(Volcanic Slut),these 26 ditties,will bring you to a higher state of ZATHness.I'm gonna lay down tracks for the next one,soon.As usual,Food did the artwork,as only he can.If you get this,grab our back catalog,as well.  https://zath2.bandcamp.com/album/zamboni-adventure-through-hell
