Not a "get out for the weekend" breather, but a "be gone for over a month and hardly talk to anyone from home at all" breather. My life at home situation was getting unbearable, and I desperately needed a breather.

It was over a month long, but I played less shows than I would ever normally do while being out that long. Summer 2011 was probably the most eventful and powerful season of my conscious life.Īfter the annual music program I teach at concluded, I hit the road pretty immediately, and it was a weird tour. Personal barriers and comfort zone inhibitions completely destroyed. Highs and lows surpassing all past experiences in either direction. Moments of unimaginable bliss and confidence crippling anxiety and sadness completely unproductive rage. My life has been an absolute psychotic whirlwind of emotions and experiences: Things I thought I'd only be able to dream of, falling right into my lap things I busted my ass for, crumbling in my hands. I've sat down a few times to write something for you, but I get lost in the details, or overwhelmed by the sheer scope of all the things I'm trying to concisely iterate without compromising the integrity of.īut what can I possibly do? There is no way that I could ever, as an author or even as a speaker, convey everything that's happened to me since my last update. Long time no see.Īdmittedly, you've not been out of mind entirely. I'm tired of letting people down with false hope!ĭon't forget to just follow my facebook page for more frequent updates. Other than that, you'll just have to see what I put out. We have made tracklist cuts that have made all three of us happy and inspired, and our agenda for this week is to get the mixing 100%. Ultra Death Men, by the way, will finally see their two years overdue EP release. It's mighty BgO-ish, but it's not officially a BgO release.

The album is called SHE-MASK, and it's a bit of a.
BUBBLEGYM OCTOPUS DOWNLOAD
Hybegnu's second album (and the first to feature me) is available for download via bandcamp, or for streaming, what have you, at. I'm in the midst of an extreme recap of all of my touring escapades, starting in summer of 2009, extending all the way up until this past summer and beyond.īut let's talk here about the future of Bubblegum Octopus and other projects of mine.


His voice has been the ideal sound of piercing screams, inhuman growling, and general vocal chaos for years >o_<įor those who don't know, I've been making much more frequent posts at By good fortune, the former vocalist of Discordance Axis, Jon Chang, a supreme idol of mine in the ways of extreme vocals and approach to album releases, happened to be in the audience. I was playing with Spreaders, Valerie Kuehne, and Joey Molinaro (who was doing electric violin and foot percussion renditions of Discordance Axis songs). Despite the potentially off-putting name, the place is lovely, friendly, and enthusiastic. The place is called Cigarette Hill On Anal Mountain. Last night I played at a fantastic house venue in Sussex, NJ, for the second time. Did a show in Salem, MA and played Bubblegum Octopus sets around New Jersey. Prior to that, I had been doing some really infrequent shows.
