hevy - So how'd the gig(s) go? Did prozakgrrl come along or did she let you loose on the swarms of drunk Canadian women?
Man I love chicks with Canadian accents.
daf - we're playing this Friday at Jacoby's and (correction), Saturday the 6th at the Detroit Art Space. I think I said the 5th in an earlier post. Either way hope to see you sometime soon. DAS has those great $1 Stroh's!
pants - I'm down. It's actually too bad that sammy didn't drop by the jamfest, I would have liked to have met him. He doesn't live that far away does he? Twisted genius, eh?
I like that, can I keep it?
sloop - I don't believe there were any "chemicals" involved in the creation of this, other than maybe a little bit of alcohol. But, al least influentially, crystal meth was the subject matter of the movie (Spun) that influenced my fucked up edit. Does that count!?
sabbath - you think I should go home and do some research, eh? Typical response. Why? For what purpose? You and your vague snide comments that either one is supposed to understand what the fuck you're talking about or just smile and accept that "it's sabbath, so just accept it". Fuck that. If you have an example you're trying to prove, you can do your own homework and prove your point for yourself. I don't have time to play your little games and have no desire to dig through ancient clinic posts in hopes of finding some old poorly taken criticism on my part.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I am open for constructive criticism and appreciate it because it doesn't come enough, and those are the key elements you can extract from the clinic to make your material better and grow from. That doesn't include you stroking yourself off in one of my threads. If you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say, I'm open. That doesn't include a "this sucks" unless you give a "why". I'm not sure how else to put it so you'll understand.
crawdaddy-o - Thanks man! I would LOVE to hear some of your experimenal shit!!! Hook a brother up!!! I'm so glad you get the drift of this. It's fundamentally what I'm trying to acomplish on a greater scale with the Sunrays, being inducing mind bending or expanding feelings or thoughts in an altered (hopefully higher) state of mind. Our biggest project expansion right now is in the visual area. We're not a pretty band per say, not that we're repulsive to look at, but defintely don't have that young White Stripes or Von Bondies too-cool-for-you hipster thing happening. Maybe on a much lesser degree. We're slowly building a Velvet Underground/ Early Pink Floyd style psychedelic lightshow where we'll incorporate several film projectors, overhead projectors with oil slides, strobes, disco balls, and a few professional "mood" lights that's we'll project onto the band and onto the white backdrop. We're going to all dress in white, maybe suits, and try and get as much of the equipment we're playing white, somehow. The intent is that the various projections that will be overlapping and bending, some projected onto us and other various non-flat surfaces and sometimes moving surfaces will play tricks on the mind and lend subconscious messages to the piece. I guess we'll see how it turns out when all is said and done.
MrQ - My brutha, tell me you didn't just say that you thought this was an FT production!!!!
LOL! Glad you liked and thanks for the listen/response!
