Skeleton Warrior / Pharaoh Faucett split 7''

Side A: "Sister Hologram" (6:00)
Side B: "Let's Kill Something Delicious" (4:51)

essential rock musics from agent provocateurs turned professional black magicians. SKELETON WARRIOR’s “Sister Hologram” is a six- minute four-part mini-epic cycle of manic rock peaks and nuanced decrescendos. Self-described “mind music.” Suspicious melody abound. PHARAOH FAUCETT’S “Let’s Kill Something Delicious” crashes the party you're not having. You get home and all of the furniture is in one room and so is this song and there’s not enough room to squeeze in so you put your ear to the door and hear: Sarasota house party special blend (equal parts psych and punk, walls breathing + light strobing...). cover features original b+w drawing by Masha Falkov.

Skeleton Warrior / Pharaoh Faucett split 7'' out before the end of the month. We have a small mountain of faulty test presses (9 in all, 3 sets of 3) sent to Roofless (House, though no one says "Roofless House" it's usually just Roofless and another thing the label is named after the house not vice versa) successively since the very beginning of 200gr8 and in 4-9 business days we will have a shit ton of bonafide rex complete with an original b+w drawing by Masha Falkov.

May 19, 1943

Hey, here's a new short film from New College student Scott Ross and alum Ricky Robertson. The pair were responsible for that mini INC documentary on Current.

This new one was filmed on location at the Funny Farm aka the Cooler Ranch aka Skeleton Warrior's estate in the boonies of Myakka. The music is from E.N.'s "You Will Be Outdated Soon."

Here's Tyger Beat's set from Cinema Sounds (04/26/08). Everyone (Skeleton Warrior, Pharaoh Faucett, Math Cats, Stead and His Larson and La Fours) provided live scores to films playing on the big screen at Burns Court Cinema in Downtown Sarasota.

tyger beat - "e.t."


And here's a video of a collaboration between New College student Dorothy Dubrule and Jimmy Schaus from Skeleton Warrior. The piece is called "Flesh and Blood" and was choreographed/scored through an extended process of improvisational give and take: sounds were written in response to movements and vice versa. The clip is from New College's Spring Dance Tutorial performance.

Summer 2008. Galavanting across America: Tyger Beat, Skeleton Warrior/Hazmat, Russian Tsarlag/Wrash/Lazy Magnet, keep an eye on the show listings (lots of stuff in SRQ+TPA), Skeleton Warrior/Pharaoh Faucett split 7'' coming out any second now.

soft creatures

soft creatures live at international noise conference 2008


Soft Creatures is from Oakland, California, formerly Orlando, Florida. Soft Creatures is part of the every now and then What's Yr Damage? and a few years ago put out some CDs and tapes and zines under the alias BLACK LAKES. At INC there were two new Soft Creatures recordings available and both are real 4 am material. Haunting and melodic in a way slightly reminiscent of certain Tampa tropes, but definitely distinctly Soft Creatures, real foggy.

Here's one of my favorites from the split with Lesson Lesson Lessen Relearn. It's called "Cleaning House" and sounds like a nap.

Comics and letters from the editors: motivational/posi, psychedelic realism. Not to drown it in labels but its punk as shit, too. Even though this is issue #2, its the third zine from this camp since the new year. The second was the "nano" sized Crank Dat War Machine comics #1

Like the preceding issues, it's done by hand and limited to 100. Look out for new issues at shows and house shows and house parties and parties. You can also reach the editors here: TFIAMEDKFH(a)hotmail.com

Salty and sweet. People with stereo hearing dug it.

If you took any pictures of Psychedelic Horseshit or Times New Viking we'd love to see them.

Lot's of shows in the next few months. Some records and probably some tapes too. Everyone's doing everything with everyone and upping the ante.

velvet underground 1967


Here's this new Velvet Underground bootleg from '67 that's been driving the internet wild. The first track is a completely unreleased song and it's real good. I wonder why they never put it on a record. This recording documents the first ever live performance of "Sister Ray." The only info I can find on this thing is from the blog I downloaded it off of, so here's that: Dead Flowers

and here's the record: live at the gymnasium

boulders - "don't go breaking my heart" 2008


New e.p. from Sarasota's Boulders. 2/3 of the time this guy plays in bands with animal names. This recording we'll call "creep shit from Florida." Sense the tsarcasm? New mantras for the generation who figured out how to use Gameboys as rock instruments, not that there's any console action on this recording, though there is a resonance with "pong." The last song sounds like the least precious Beat Happening song you'll ever hear.

don't go breaking my heart

"I originally made 25 copies to hand out at Dave from Andros Rex's birthday party and to girls I like. I ran out in a really short period of time and other people asked me about it, so I'll probably make another batch sometime soon. The EP comes with an 8-page zine. I'm not charging any money for it. This is my second EP and I already have material recorded for a third one, tentatively titled 'Love has Gone Away'."

tom smith and patrick spurlock - "petty demons"


Here's an e.p. Tom and Patrick brought with them for Saturday's show at New College. The songs are tweaked but not frenzied; choppy vocal loops, pulsing electronics, glitchy repetition that will make you light headed.

skeleton warrior download series finale

skeleton warrior live @ international noise conference 2008


You can only see Kipp and Erica, but you can hear Jimmy on synth and Tim on Gameboy.

Here's a live set from a house party this past January: 01/05/08 (recorded by La Fours)

The line up is Jimmy on synthesizer, Kipp on guitar and Erica on drums. The sound is representative of the styles they've been exploring most recently. After a prolific summer, Skeleton Warrior was on pause while most of its members were scattered across North America and Jimmy was standing in line behind Brian Eno in London. They reunited in January and now the line up is Erica on drums, Kipp on guitar, Tim on violin and Gameboy and Jimmy on synthesizer (but that's liable to change at any second). 3/4 of the band lives out in the boonies of Myakka City, FL. They have a lot of open land, cows, spiders, scorpions, peacocks, a barn, inside the barn a ledger from the 70s with the names of all of the pigs that lived there, etc. They found a wishbone on the top of the fridge that crumbled into dust, divorce papers in the closet and a rusty knife on the windowsill. You can hear all of this in the new Skeleton Warrior.

Cephia's Treat #52. We're not putting it up for download because its still in print. You can buy it on the cheap here: Cephia's Treat. Skeleton Warrior (here just Jimmy and Kipp) at its most haunted; dark, pulsing, maybe even evil; Psych, the clenched jaw. Long extended jams that hold your attention with dynamic, evolving intention and craft.

black logan


"The Warriors wandered the desert, dragging their luggage behind them. However, they weren't looking for water, they were in search of the perfect basement to record in and Black Logan was to lead them to it. By the time he appeared they were near death but the desert sun was forgiving that day and soon their bags were unpacked beneath the baked sand. The univox drops, the wires pop and all that thirsty moaning is still giving nightmares to the rattlesnakes and scorpions that remain." - Cephia's Treat
