Shows at Hyde Park Half

Dear World,

Sometimes you get so busy chasing the horizon that you don't realize that horizon is already here. By which, I mean: Hyde Park Half. After years and years of wanting to get involved with a permanent solution to the dearth of venues here, I think the future may be closer than I had thought. Los Angeles is one of those places that continually shoots itself in the foot when it comes to DIY venues for music and other community events. The graveyard of one-great-venues has claws of adamantium and they come ripping fast and furious: The PCH, The SOS Project, Headline Records, The Ojai Women's Club, and on and on ad infinitum. Hyde Park Half seeks to be a sort of antidote to this problem.

The aim is to create a space that will showcase wonderful music a few times a month. The aim is also to create a space that will provide free tutoring and educational support for the Inglewood community. The aim is also to provide free artistic outlets for the Inglewood community. In all, Hyde Park Half seeks to tourniquet our constant lack of venues while also offering much needed community outreach to the city of Inglewood, where the venue is located.

If you wish to play a part in this new project, please email Hyde Park Half directly at hydeparkhalf@gmail.com or check the Hyde Park Half website. There will be a meeting this Sunday, November 8th that you should plan on attending.

Upcoming shows will feature Final Fight, Head High, Let Live, Tigon, Ghostlimb, Rogue State, Forming, Touche Amore, Colorchromatic, Drowning With Our Anchors, Maladie, Acts of Sedition, Graf Orlock, and us.

Here are some details of DANGERS' upcoming shows:

November 28 @ TBA in Visalia, CA w/ Comadre and a bunch of other bands.

December 5 @ a house in San Diego, CA w/ Lewd Acts and Graf Orlock

December 11 @ Hyde Park Half in Inglewood, CA w/ Maladie, Drowning With Our Anchors, Acts of Sedition, and Graf Orlock

In Australian news, please keep bothering us about coming. Down under is the new horizon.

In parting, lady to greatly admire (listen to the interview!),

Roy G. Biv

We hereby introduce you to our current zany multimedia extravaganza:

1) A new song called "Tarantula Type" available for download on the Comadre Mixtape #3 joint. It, too, will be on our new record. Here are the lyrics:

"Tarantula Type"

This sickness that's inside of me

Ain't a sickness that's easy to see

No rash, no runs, no potpourri

Of symptoms

Of woes

No bloody stool

No bloody nose

Just cause you can't see it's there

Don't mean that that shit isn't there

Stitched into this birthday suit

Oh grandmother, how I miss you

Like a banshee

Sid and Nancy

My double helix is coming unglued

It's in your blood

It clogs your veins

Eats your gorgeous brains

And it will drag you straight to your grave

Quick

A head in the clouds

Is a foot in the grave

A head in the clouds

Is a foot in the grave

But a foot in the grave is where I'd rather be

If a head in the clouds means I'm sick

I'm not sick

You're the one that's sick

Rick, serve me my goddamn breakfast.

2) A new song called "Stay-At-Home Mom" is also up for your viewing pleasure in full RGB glory. It, too, will be on the new record. The video and lyrics for that song are as follows:

"Stay-At-Home Mom"

Why didn't you kill yourself today?

What cross, what coupon, what cathode ray

Put the joie de vivre in your diseased heart?

How Anne Hathaway,

How Peg Bundy

Thou art.

Hey Sugar:

Prove to me that the air you breathe

Wasn't better served by the leaves of a tree.

You're but a breeder,

Tax break receiver

With menopause sweats

A TV tray and a mosh pit son

Who wastes the marrow of his bones

Jumping into these drums.

Please tell him:

Don't stand so close to me.

See, I know your children

Because I've been your children

And us children, hopeful children

Ain't worth the stretch marks baby.

'Cause we may sing these songs of protest,

Cast our ballots, too

Forgo meat and

Ride our bikes and

Get our band's stupid tattoo

But it means nothing - nothing - when we get eaten by the sun.

Que sera

Que sera

For, whatever there is will soon be all gone.

So what's wrong

With a song

That asks wherefore and why have you lived this long?

A purpose?

You want a reason?

Stop believing.

Or stop needing the answers.

There are no answers

Except the sun, the sun, the sun.

While you sit on your couch

And wait up for your boy

We're polluting his mind with this

(noise)

3) Our good friend Alvin keep getting us confused with No Doubt, but he is very good with his camera so we will allow it. Click his name if you enjoy this fine example:

4) Please go to shows at the Olhar de Vidro. And be aware: this place is going to blow up into a cornucopia of goodwill. Or: a horn of plenty of community goodness. Your pick. Stay tuned.

5) All signs point to a one-day-only stream of the new record ASAP. Beware. Also, Vitriol site is updated.

6) King James.

Live, Fast, (verbal) Diarrhea

With all due luck, the Dodge Ram Van currently known as the S.S. Higgenbotham will become a workhorse once again next week and will successfully shuttle our sleep-deprived collective to the following shows:

There is also a show on December 4th at the Nomad Cafe in Los Angeles with the likes of Drowning With Our Anchors, Ghostlimb, Maladie, and Acts of Sedition.

Thank you to everyone that came out to last weekend's shows with Robotosaurus. Way siq.

Why didn't you kill yourself today?

Rough Mixtures

Greetings.

We come bearing gifts. Three, in fact. We've posted three songs off of Messy, Isn't It? which will be zooming into existence sometime after you have already lost all desire to hear it. You can find them on our new BandCamp website. Also, you can find them on the right of this page with the rest of our songs (all of which are available for free download). Also, why don't I just put them here:

I'm in the red
I've got the blues
I'm token black
An early greying fool

I need an orange
I need a lime
I need a last name
That don't feel like such a crime

I feel 16
I feel 60
I feel 9 to 5

So sick of rent checks
So sick of life vests
So sick of 5 foot 9

Once was lost
Now am drowned.

Base.
How low can we go?
Fuck the Beatles, I'm an animal
An upright ape with opposable thumbs
To hold the clubs
To hold the guns
Swing low sweet chariot
God bless my DNA
Drunk drive my Chevy to the levee
Let the flood come and sweep me away

No this ain't the apocalypse
It's the way shit has always been
From Sodom to Saddam
Attila to Tienenmen
A quarter million years of human being
A quarter million years as a human stain
We use ten percent of our gorgeous brains
And leave the rest up to cocaine

Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a new shotgun
Lucy in the sky
Got her hands on a Remington
Lucy in the sky
Her shiny diamonds drenched in blood

And I know where the wild things are
Don't look far
Don't look far
'Cause I got wisdom in my teeth
And terror in my wars
Yes, I know where the wild things are
Don't look far.
Don't look far.

There's a reason that it's hard to look in the mirror.
There's a reason that it's hard to go to the zoo
And there's a reason you want to pry open the cage
See, you should be there, too.

A kiss is a kiss is a kiss
Regardless of joseph smith
And what i wouldn't give to love a woman like she does
A kiss is a kiss is a kiss is a kiss
On the lips
Or on the lips

We will be playing these songs this weekend at two shows we have in the Bay Area. Here is a flyer for one of those shows:

The other show will be at Harjit's house in the East Bay. That will be on Sunday, September 27th. The address is: 2844 Union Street, Oakland, CA 94608. We'll be playing with Robotosaurus from Australia and they have a song that sounds like The Jesus Lizard, so be excited for that.

Also, some shows coming up in future to be aware of. October 4 - 6 we'll be playing shows with Soul Control up and down the CA coast. October 10th we'll be playing in Inglewood, CA with Comadre, Calculator, and Color Chromatic. In November we'll be playing a show near Lynwood to help a new community art center get up and running. December 4th we'll be playing at the Nomad Cafe with Drowning With Our Anchors, Acts of Sedition, Maladie and one of the Justin Smith Ensembles. Other shows to be announced shortly.

Keep asking us to come to Australia, please! And Canada. And the East Coast. And Europe. Thank you!

Comadre is doing a new mixtape. We'll be on it. Go here for news on that.

Thank you to everyone that sent in a reading of the poem. You will be handsomely and sartorially thanked in the future days.

Enjoy the rough mixtures, but be kind; final mix awaits our ears and the artwork is being finagled into existence as we speaketh.

Give me Eggleston, or give me death,

Al / DANGERS
