Sully likes our blackface growl. We like Sully's (and Corey's and Earl's and Ryan's) joint. The time has come to break sound with friends again and so we will return to the Good Hurt on April 28th. Let's get a little sweaty and do the pagan grind the way we love to, hey? In the past they had rent parties and hellfighter rallies for purposes akin to what we will visit on that Saturday. Be there and meet Dragan, the Black Falcon. I'll see you on the stripper pole.

I seem to be having the time of my life. On Friday the prophets wrote eliptically about the end of water and the passing of dark matter through the molten core of our mother- The Black Currents played a show to a room of the very jaded, who left sweaty, and in some cases, giddily drunk. After the show yours truly was approached by a savant who claimed to have written the most difficult bass line known. He was followed by a colony of silver bats that flew in chords behind his head, illustrating the genius inside. His name was...

And it came to pass that unto the town of Angeles there was delivered a man called George, and this George slayeth the lower frequencies with his mighty Rickenbacker, and bringeth his Rick among The Black Currents and they were well pleased with the notes and the groove of this man and the muses spake unto them and they were TWO WHO HAD BECOME THREE. Come down to the mighty mighty Good Hurt on Friday the 30th for our 8pm show. George will be there. We really miss the stage so we can def guarantee a sweaty good time for...

Sometimes you just need the time to understand. Most times there will never be enough time. Mighty and I hacked community gates in Irvine (key-key-12345-key) and finally walked into a living room that was an angular joke the Freemasons would have told. A woman sat on a beige couch against a beige wall and regarded the flat panel opposite her with heavy-lidded eyes. Her pills paused her against the present and the room was quiet with pharmaceutical waiting. But it was her son we came to see. It's funny how different generations slice the reality pie. Mom was a Pertofrane...

At LALive in Eagle Rock (?) your heroes got down and bent sound for a Mr. Richard Duguay who entered his 50s covered in ink and accompanied by his amazing wife Paula and many shaggy rockers. More pics here!

Everyone raise a glass toward Eagle Rock on Saturday August 27th. TBC will play for a true believer and hero of ours- Richard Duguay. This is the man who taught yours truly the meaning of volume: you can't really hear a guitar until you can feel it in your chest. Hey Slash! Give Richard back his Black Beauty! Happy Birthday brother.

The Good Hurt delivered it's particular amazing flavor for our heroes on Friday night (a light show? fog?). We are grateful for the gig and will be spanking eardrums in your neighborhood very soon. Thanks to all who came out to see us!

The triumphant return of your favorite secret agents to the room where they first bent notes... ...and watched people dance on the stripper pole. We have many surprises for those of you who venture out at the witching hour- among them, songs you have never heard, amps you have never gaped at, and above all the monstrous power of Simmer Deane on 5 string bass. That's right- where there were two there are now three. Agent Mighty and I are elated to have an assassin in the band. It makes getting paid so much easier. So lean on your liver...

Apparently you can't live without the lows.

I am trapped in the flow of the bookburners, who start their days rhapsodizing about their beauty (mirror, mirror...) and pull stale images from the pages of approved reading. So every sentence spoken is a sentence served, and time spent is debt paid against the plug iron law of ego unable to scratch it's own itches. Bookburners want the earth to be flat so badly. Sometimes, in the yard between buildings, I let the sun bathe me in the wisdom of matter transforming itself. In the story of the universe, bookburners are the indians on an island shore, unable to...
