New Infinite Plastic Internal recording up at Archive.org!

 

Infinite Plastic Internal in what seems to me to be in pretty full flight. Recorded as a rehearsal for an appearance of KFJC.

Neat Ovipositor live shot!

 

Found photograph of Ovipositor from 2009 or so, Li Po Lounge in SF Chinatown. I have written about how fun those shows were before, but I'll say it again, those were fun times. 

Photo by either Scarp Home or his former wife Sandra.

After 18 years, this album is finally done. 

About two years ago, the members of Birdsaw began talking about releasing the tunes that make up Pitch Black Lightning in some form. At some point last year, the engineer that recorded them was able to locate the original digital files for them, and he graciously shared them with us. 

Since that time, we had them mastered and edited into their current form. I was hoping for some kind of physical release, but that's not currently possible. So, streaming will have to suffice, but I'm just glad that they're out in the world in some way. 

Many thanks to Tom, Robin, and Dan, along with Matt Spatol, who did a great job of cleaning and organizing the recording into a coherent release!

Silencer Assembly Raw Demo up at Archive.org!

I was going through a stack of burned CDr's, found this little nugget. The two songs on this page did not make it to the Silencer Assembly Bandcamp release, and they are definitely raw, but I just love the energy on them. Demos are cool.

Ovipositor Live at Fort Oregon 2007 audio up at Archive.org!

This was an easy show to get, because Ovipositor bass player Laurin lived in this Berkeley group home. Not quite as wild as Barrington Hall, but an interesting assortment of people and their strange affectations. Fun times. In the photo atop this page, one can see the late Jason Batzer, doing his thing the way that only he could do it. Basement shows still rule OK.

This show has been up at Youtube for a minute, but I wanted to get the audio posted at Archive.org. Fond memories of a fun show that was kind of a last minute surprise for me. Amy Reed is great.
