The Gothsicles

	Next upcoming show! 05/12/08 with The Strand at The Annex Madison, WI

03/21/08 - Hella Crazy Fan Shit

There's been some hella crazy fan shit coming in lately!

1. Oh man, check this out: Big-Chef.com brings you Triple Shot Cupcakes. That is hot.

2. Holy shit! Here's a quote from last week's front page of Real Synthetic Audio, the most listened to industrial net-radio show evar:

"OK, it's not very often that I fall in love with a band at first listen. But the entire idea behind "Mix this song into A23s Maps Of Reality" just kills me. I hear and shall obey." LEGIT. (3/10/2008)

3. Comedy rap supastar, Sudden Death, starts 'em on the good stuff. I did a lol and a half.

4. YouTube will show you the magic of the indomitable Art Paul Schlosser covering a 'sicles track at MarsCon '08. I shit eight ways when this happened.

5. Also this guy, this guy and this guy.

Thanks, all!

	10/13/07 Eccentrik Festival! with Meg Lee Chin The Last Dance Cylab Terrorcouple The Hellblinki Sextet at The Lincoln Theatre Raleigh, NC

10/01/07 - Kinda new track!

So after landing the opening set at this year's Infest, we were massively excited and largely in awe, and this mini-ditty (written partially on the plane 'cause of the crunch from Blacksun and GenCon) was the result.

There was some really committed production work done on this one by Turbo Gothic 16 and mastering was done by the masterful Eric Oehler.

09/16/07 - VF Magazine Issue #2 out now!

Vampire Freaks Magazine Issue #2 is finally out! I heard it was held up in customs or something. Anyway, in addition to being an awesome and surprisingly hilarious publication, I'm totally interviewed in this issue about my musical tastes at the time ('cause I'm kind of a big deal).

***Oh yeah.

09/16/07 - SVGM remaster out now!

I've been doing a lot of music on the "dementia" scene lately, all of which, for some reason, keeps clocking in at under two minutes. The newly remastered reissue of Worm Quartet's classic album "Stupid Video Game Music" features the first of such endeavors, a 'sicles of "Get a Real Dog".

***Check it.

09/16/07 - Also Slimelight!

Crap, I almost forgot! Huge thanks to venue's management and staff and everyone who came out for our ultra last minute, seat of the pants style show at London's Slimelight! That was awesome!
>Slimelight pics.

09/16/07 - Thank you x 100,000

We owe appoximately one hundred thousand thank-yous after this recent three weekend block of big ol' festival type shows. Heaps of thanks to all of these promoters for having us.

Blacksun - Good lord. Big ups to the staff, the audience, the VF crew, and to our travel and stage companions, Stochastic Theory. There's a reason Blacksun is quickly becoming the nation's premiere goth/industrial festival. This was an intensely awesome event.
> Blacksun Pictures are here.

Apophis Consortium - Annual complete GenCon equipment debacle (now four years running), but because of the staff at Radio Radio, the amazing support and patience of the audience, and the tech assistance from Cruciform Injection and Korporate Media, I think we may have finally broken the GenCon curse.
> Buy Shadow Nations!

Infest - Ho-lee shit. I don't even know where to start. Amazing staff, amazing hospitality, supacool festival goers, and seriously stellar bands. Just an awesomely positive experience. Massive genuflections additionally lauded once again upon Caustic for having us as his backing band. Everyone in the UK is good looking.
> Infest pictures are here.
> And here is a video of me being an ass, c/o The Miss Jinny Show.
> And check out this review on the BCC website!

08/03/07 - New track! (sort of)

"BACONspiracy", the new album by living parodesiac, The Great Luke Ski, features them 'sicles doing an ultra short cover his track "House Party at Arkham Asylum". Even though this track is like all of a minute long, I still think it turned out pretty good.

***Listen to samples here!

07/16/07 - Earpicac out now!

TWO EXCLUSIVE NEW TRACKS are featured on the new comedy music compilation "Earpicac". One is the newly recorded version (featuring guest vox by Turbo Gothic 16 (aka Dan Clark of Stromkern and Null Device) of the cover of the theme from Perfect Strangers that we've been doing live for forever, and the other is a hot new chip tune entitled "Sacking Rome".

This is also like a fund raiser type thing for Con on the Cob.

***Check it out here.

07/16/07 - Sensuous Enemy Remix! Free download!

"Ffej" of Sonic Mainline labelmates, Sensuous Enemy, did a kick ass remix of Triple Shot which you can now download for free via The FuMP, aka The Funny Music Project.
