ROTTEN PIECE
- from Austin,TX...Lazy Squid Records....since 1991
"Like entering a souppy Sumatran amniotic outer space pulsing fever of
looping vibrations, closed eyes visualizing brain patterns aligned with
energies of audible gods and temples dedicated to the vortex gong.� As if
a bunch of chainweilding, chanting eskimos had all their limbs and skin
ripped off and sewn back on just in time to open up for a dying giant
bagpipe, skewered by spears from all sides by...ok, I'm� too into
this....." -A. Wagstaff

Brains/Dope Snugglers.
"...he's good, and smart, and profane, and he mixes up the folk with
wacked-out noise and other intangible stuff..."-Blastitude
