If you have a charity and are in need of some art, drop me a line.  I'm

clearing out the shop and storage unit.  I'm going broke paying rent on

unsold sculpture.  Out with the old, in with the new.

 

 

 

I'm always in need of donations.  Junkyards don't want you walking around

due to everyones' fear of a liability lawsuit.  So, here's a partial of things I would

find useful:

 

 

Unpainted metal, non galvanized --no mufflers.

any stainless steel

typewriters, sewing machines, skeleton keys,

vials, old photographs, etc.

Rollerderby is on the move, and they need refs, etc.

Check out the website, and come to the upcoming games!

 

 

R.I.P. Arsenic on the Rocks.  We've thrown in the towel for now.

 

 

Einsturzende Neubauten, a big influence on my work, are self releasing their future work.

They have a supporter project, so you, too, can help fund the arts, at:

www.neubauten.org

 

 

 

 

The guy being pinned is my doppelganger. If anyone knows who this

person is, please drop me a line.  He's here in Kentucky.

 

 

 

 

 

Join us for this great touring band from the west coast.  This might be

the last chance in a while you'll get to see Arsenic on the Rocks, let alone

the Lucky Stiffs.

 

 

 

 

The Percussion Set.  This was made a little over a year ago.  I scored alot of empty fire

extinguishers and have contact mic's and drum triggers hooked up to them.  It stands about

ten feet tall, and ten feet in length.  It's on casters and made to disassemble in its entirity.

When decibel 451 used this, as shown in the video, we were stiking the percussive elements

with iron pipes, and got some good sparkage out of it.  The scene reminded me of the last

Young Ones' episode....Hey, these bricks explode!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Above are the pics of the Murders' annual Halloween show, held at the Dame.

Front and center is our bass player Lunsford spraying the audience with some blood

out of his mouth.  Everyone seemed to have a great time, looking like they had attended

a punk gwar concert, and no one being thrown out for fighting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We just played the Friday the Thirteenth at the Bow House.

The next and last re-union show is the above, in

Lexington, KY.

     Feb 25, 2007 made it the fourth time that someone's thought about taking this piece.

     No, it's not the art lovers, but scrappers who want to sell the two hundred pound

     sculpture for  a whopping eighty cents per lb.  So I get these idiots on film and sound,

      and you hear them just crunching numbers.  It's a shame that you have to have everything

     bolted or chained up that's outside now.  But that's Lexington now.

    

 

 

   After seven months of working on this piece whenever I could, it's finally

   in place.  It's about seven feet in heigth and depth.  If you'd like to do a

   drive by in Lexington, it's located on Plunkett St near U.K.  The street

   runs parallel to South Broadway, near the corner of W. Maxwell.

 

     I had to get this piece done, so I could work on regular steel again, since the

     dust from steel will float over to the stainless and cause the surface to rust.

     then I got to see a great show.  Grateful Dead had the Pyramids, Pink Floyd

     had Pompeii, and Ministry had Sloss Furnaces, in Birmingham, Alabama.

 

    

 

     Yeah, they played at this old iron production facility.

 

     Here's the only crappy picture i could sneak:

 

    

 

    

     As soon as I got back from the show and installed the s.s. piece, decibel 451

     did a show at the Dame.  We constructed a meatgrinder to crush up test tubes,

     rigged up a typewriter with contact mic's and set it up to smoke during it's demolition,

     and introduced Gasmask Jo.  Video still captures are by Lucia Klarich.
