My solo 7"s are now ready and waiting to be welcomed into your dysfunctional family.
Dale "Melvins" Crover did some drums
Marcelle "Star Pimp" Poulos sang some songs
And all the while I kept a watchful eye out so that no one got hurt in the process.

Behold the Official Rock Video for "Balloons vs Grenades", the flip side of my upcoming 7". It'll be released on 9/5, but you can preorder it now (if you're that sort of obsessed weirdo) at bandcamp or midheaven or the other usual places.

Just drove through SF and all the billboards are like "Tired of your fleeps being florpped? Don't glomp it, get your AI rectified at Gloopper.com!"

The soccer moms, goth teenagers, and elderly hippies were out in force in sleepy Lafayette, CA letting the passers-by know what they think about fascists. Probably 1000+ people. Lots of honking cars and even some guy on the sidewalk wailing away on the bagpipes.

Minors are absolutely forbidden because the music will be too sonically crushing for any children to withstand.
Very excited to be recording my first ever solo single. With help from The King of the Drumb, Dr. Dale Crover. Engineering by the illustrious Toshi Kasai .
