DJ Terrible is serving up an hour of mostly psychedelic-based oddities from the 60's and 70's. What do we have here... Notorious rock critic Lester Bangs puts himself in front of the gun/microphone. Music built from the ground up; the frankenstein creations of Michael Yonkers, as well as Canada's Nihilist Spasm Band and Intersystems. Long before Varg Vikernes, imprisoned Manson family member Bobby Beausoleil composed the sountrack for the short film, Lucifer Rising, in his cell. All this and more... Fuck You has the second hour...

Fashionable Idiots Blowout II - March 14, 2008

Fashionable Idiots Records celebrated their 2nd anniversary with a basement show in Minneapolis on March 14th, 2008. My band, UNDER PRESSURE, had not only the pleasure of working with label owners Andy and Eric on a record but were also invited to play the anniversary show with Twin City locals CONDOMINIUM and THE AGENDA, UH OH from Milwaukee, as well as Los Angeles rockers SHOOT IT UP, who were kicking off their US tour that night. It was a very brief but welcome excursion from the monotony of winter living in Winnipeg. All the bands were entertaining although it was CONDOMINIUM who stole the night for me. Hopefully they'll be coming up to Winnipeg in May. Thanks to Andy and Eric for releasing our record and for inviting us down for the show, and to Brad and Matt from CONDOMINIUM for letting us crash at their place.

I'm a little apprehensive.


Janelle and Cam have yet to feel the effects of consuming their Extreme Pitas. Taking it to the max!
