THE DANGERS OF PAIN KILLERS!

so yesterday was interesting, having problems with my ankle (hurts like fuck, cant put weight on it, long story!) so i decide it's a good idea to use the pain killers julia was prescribed a while ago......... max dosage is 12 a day & i took about 16 in like 6 hours. resulted in me passing out for like an hour, then wandering into the kitchen & collapsing then passing out again.
remember kids, DONT DO DRUGS!

by the way, heres a vid of rat alley from pier pressure last weekend, + some sedlec, discombobulation & from this day.

from this day (last song + encore)

DEALING WITH PETTY FUCKING BULLSHIT!

im am sick to death of hK right now! i have just been informed (once again) that everyone in the LoCal music "scene" hates me! well you know what? fucK the LoCal scene! if you guys wanna play music, thats cool but if all certain people are worried about is looking fucKing cooL & fitting into a niCe genre (thats what you are trying to do with your "scene") then i dont have fucking time for you anyway!
all im doing is trying to provide venues for people to play @, even my studio was used @one point! im helping local bands with artwork, finding them studio time, plenty of people seem to appreciate it but apparently im hated.
im not gonna start moaning on line about history, or giving people guilt trips, or make comments about money etc, all im going to say is this:
IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH ME, GO SCREW YOURSELF! I REALLY COULDNT GIVE 2 SHITS, IM ANGRY BECAUSE ALL IM REALLY GUILTY OF IS BEING WHITE & A FEW PEOPLE NEVER GAVE ME A CHANCE BECAUSE THEY ASSUMED I WAS A PART TIME SUIT & WAS HERE TO SCREW THE LOCALS. ISNT THAT RACISM? ALL THESE BANDS YOU ASPIRE TO RIP OFF & COPY ARE WHITE, ARENT THEY?
MY WIFE WAS BORN HERE, SO FUCK YOU I'VE AS MUCH RIGHT TO BE HERE AS YOU!

p.s. this message is only aimed @ a certain few, (you know who you are) & is not meant to cause offence to hk's hardworking honest bands & musicians who i have the utmost respect for!

Dakin's pirate monkey!

Dakin came in to star crossed the other day & Julia tattooed the pirate monkey she designed for him on his back.
fucking awesome tattoo, Dakin took it like a man!





Aint she cute?

ARGHHHHHH! This shit is hard work!!!!!

Ok, so it's all go for From This Day @ Pier Pressure on the 29th!
it's been a struggle, still seems to be a few people that seem to want to see pier pressure fail but hey, im not gonna get all bitter about it & give up! those of you out there who support me make it all worth while, so thanks! HK is a weird place, all the people who bitch about not getting a chance to play & that people dont support "the scene" (by the way, i hate that term!) are the ones who seem to go out of their way to screw things up! if i was in this for the money i would have said "screw you!" a long time ago, but im gonna keep doing it as long as i enjoy it. Thanks to my beautiful wife Julia for all your support, you keep me sane & without you i'd have given up by now!

i just wanna say thanks to corey tam & zane stroud (this music studio) for all their help with pier pressure, i love you guys!

In the studio with DISCOMBOBULATION

Discombobulation are FINALLY making some good quality recordings!
They recorded a cd for SCT (my label) last year, but Arthur recorded it & it was almost unlistenable. This time Corey Tam is @ the helm & it is being recorded @ This Music Studio. Things are going really well, It's being recorded live & Corey has done an awesome job of mic'ing everything up, just like he always does @ Pier Pressure & it should really show their full potential.
It's going to be a 4 track ep, Im about to start work on the artwork!
Hopefully everything will be ready for Pier Pressure on the 29th March, they will be supporting From This Day, along with Sedlec, The Squawk, Shepherds The Weak, King Ly Chee.
If anyone is thinking of recording anytime soon, you should get in touch with Corey! I'll post some details for the studio soon.
