Project Chung Il Kwon – better known as HELLO MORNING – is making it’s way to the pressing plant. Their page is soon to be up.

• MARC ANTONY
have departed on their final journey. They will be touring the entire US, parts of Canada, Mexico, and Alaska. They booked their 2-month tour in a matter of weeks so please help them out if you can on scheduled no-shows (www.marcantony.org). They are an amazing group of people and their musical style and energy is second to no other. MARC ANTONY, in many ways, totally epitomize what I believe a band should be: raw, intelligent, challenging, and spontaneous. These guys got DIY tattooed on their bones. They rekindled a part of me that was lethargic with music and life; most of all, they reminded me to pack my bags, hit the road and yell “fuck it.” I encourage people to do the same and experience them for the last of times.

Out Now.....

DOHRN
— s/t CD ... ESN 009
MARC ANTONY/DOGS OF IRE
— Split 7”... ESN 008
DOGS OF IRE “Sterile Thoughts From a First World” CD ... ESN 007

Also, ROGUE STATE and DOHRN are on a quick full US tour. They will blow your mind. Promise.




DOGS OF IRE's latest collection of tracks entitled “Sterile Thoughts from a First World” will be unleashed in this month. By far the best work to be disclosed from those fuckfaces. Ask the drummer and guitar player of that rock band WITHDRAWAL just how much fervent hate they have for the new record. For those of you who have the screen-printed tour covers you can get the shnazzy original covers + lyric book from us if you wish. Send $1 for shipping. Write to info@ethospine.com and tell us to fuck off. DOGS OF IRE will also be interviewed on Tina Bold's show on KUCR AUG 8 http://www.kucr.org

• The month of July will also remit one helluva stupifying 7” split. MARC ANTONY/DOGS OF IRE saved up their pennies to deliver the raw. Think they care if people don't even own record players anymore? Like a bad rash they will be covering the entire lower 48s sharing their odor and absorbing all possible highway pollutants across a very confused part of earth. “It's civilization bro. No county comes close. We're number one at everything” - Shitbag at a local bar. http://www.citypages.com/databank/26/1264/print12985.asp. And if you think a silly hurricane “Dennis” is gonna stop them you got another thing coming. Just to make matters worse for all hipsters JESUS MAKES THE SHOTGUN SOUND will be hopping on the last leg of tour. Put that on your Liza Minnelli haircut

• Since we're on the subject of bearded western heroes, JESUS MAKES THE SHOTGUN SOUND will be touring the west coast in August with their new bass player, Blake. A nice guy and an animated improvement. Yes, the sightings are affirmative. I saw them. He dances in them. Snakeskin boots. No damn shame. At all. Monday, July 11 tune in for an interview on The Vinyl Hours w/ DJ Tina Bold from 7pm -9pm (PST) on KUCR 88.3fm or live-stream at www.kucr.org

DOHRN have completed their work in the studio with Mr. Pete-X. It's the record that will rip us all a new one. The grindcore mayhem can finally share their onslaught with the rest of the world. They are working diligently on this project in order to complete it by their August tour. Many are looking forward to this. Hear DOHRN on KUCR Monday, July 12. Elliot's show is from 11pm-1am. http://www.kucr.org

• August 14-28 ROGUE STATE and DOHRN will be battling every stripmalled, gentrified corner of the empire on their summer tour. This match up will surely blow minds and will be worth every minute. However, they do have some holes in their schedule so if you can help out in any way contact info@ethospine.com. Check out the show page for details.

CIRCUIT SCARECROW has a new site to check out www.deletememory.com. New stuff is incredible. Just wait.

God may have given up on you, but JESUS MAKES THE SHOTGUN SOUND s/t CD is out.The JMTSS page will be up as soon as possible. In the meantime, mailorder is always available here info@ethospine.com.

PIANO DRAG R.I.P. (2000 - 2005)
It’s disturbing enough to watch a monkey get re-inaugurated, but now this shit too? A great unit has suddenly put their magic to sleep way too early.For the unfortunate who’ve missed out, Piano Drag had a special way of connecting with people musically. There was something intense about them that drew people in. They made a room really FEEL, even when hitting the most subtle and simplest of sounds. Their recordings only captured a fraction of their live energy and sonance. They definitely unleashed a part of me that wanted to contribute to the sharing of music. They were a major influence in how ethospine came into existence. Piano Drag will be missed.

Keep an ear out for new projects. John is laying drum tracks for REDCELLONE with Sean engineering.

Chung is pouring out amazing solo noise almost as fast as Tupac. Okay, faster. You can still keep in touch: www.pianodrag.com

Possible noise in the year of the rooster:

THIS side THAT side – A Multicultural Experience.
Thursday, JAN 6 @Division 9 Gallery (Life Arts Building) 6pm-11pm.
3485 University Ave. Riverside, CA 92501

THIS side THAT side is a collaboration of diverse artists from the southern California area. The work in this exhibition will represent the artist’s cultural roots and experience in the United States. What better way is there to express, educate, and empower than art? While there are those who believe in severing the past, we hope to make this a vivid celebration of our history. This will not be televised.

11-5-2004

Oh yeah, get ready to set your clocks back another 50 years folks because Reagan aint dead yet and the good times a’ comin’. Its how “freedom” works around here. Silly Americans and our confused culture…what WILL we do next? While even the blue states can luxuriously shake the outcome off like a bad hangover, it’s the third-worlds that must, as always, endure the generations of the imperial kick to the broken back and empty stomach. Again. “The fascists aren't at the gate. In a country this conditioned, they don't have to be.”

*The Dogs Of Ire/Breather Resist/Ed Gain show NOV 8 @ 51 Buckingham in Pomona has been canceled due to pure lameness.

*Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound will have their shit released in DEC. I think I’ve already stated that. A record release show will hopefully happen. Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound and Dogs Of Ire will be penetrating as deep into red state territory as they can in a week’s time. Some shows are not confirmed, and they need help with the following:
(Anywhere near these cities will work just fine)
DEC 26 – Tucson, AZ
DEC 27 – El Paso, TX
DEC 28 – Albuquerque, NM
DEC 29 – Santa Fe, NM
DEC 30 – Flagstaff, AZ
Damn, that’s almost the whole trip. Hmmm. Be a pal and contact info@ethospine if you think you can help.


10-19-2004

There are updates gradually being made to this site, and we will have Pay Pal established for orders real soon. If you have any questions or problems please contact info@ethospine.com
10-14-2004

Before I forget again, Happy Late-Congradulations to Mr. And Mrs. Baal. Sorry we couldn’t attend the ceremony, but we wish the newly weds a sexy long life together.

If you live in CA and your brain hasn’t shit on itself from the election flurry just remember Monday, OCT 18 is the final day to register to vote. And don’t just do it because you could very well be the deciding fucked-factor in one of the most heated battles in US history and so much is at stake from domestic to foreign policy issues etc. Do it to preserve the legacy that only a filthy-rich, white male in a suit can comprehend what’s best for earth.

Jesus Makes The Shotgun Sound will be recording this week with Mr. Pete X for what is scheduled to be a DECEMBER release. According to various marketing strategists DECEMBER is absolutely the worst month to put out a record. Supposedly, it is also the worst time to tour. Hmmmm. So, a short tour with DOGS OF IRE is in the works also. Supposedly.

Red Cell One will also have some music with us. New material too. They have been recording at the P-Drag house for some time. Sean P-Drag is handling the knobs this time. Heard good things. Let us expect a release this winter.
8-30-04

Rogue State have been added on to the Division 9 Gallery show (Division 9.1) this Thursday, SEPT 2@ The Life Arts Building in Riverside, CA. Other acts: Piano Drag, Circuit Scarecrow and The Vonnegettes. Check show page for more info. Make sure to visit all the galleries also.

Piano Drag's show last night at the Hanging Jury in Los Angeles was really cool. Awesome art space with admirable art too. Check out these bands if you get a chance: Days End, The Popes,The Building Press (fucking awesome) and Wires on Fire.


AUG/SEPT 2004

Some old news: Ahh the fucking irony. The DIY community does not in any way exclude dicks and assholes (gender inclusive). They are multiplying in death-defying numbers and must be destroyed immediately. Lets not be discouraged and remember WHY we do this before we become what we hate.

The Death to Tyrants/Ampere/Dogs of Ire CA shows were amazing. And extra wonderful was Jim’s house show. Thanks Jim for lending us your garage. You probably don’t even remember. Death to Tyrants and Ampere are still on the road so make it a point to experience them. There are tour covers in circulation for the Dogs of Ire/Death to Tyrants 10” . The real screen-printed ones will be made in the next couple of weeks. New ordering information for all music along with other features of this neglected site will be up and running sometime soon too. I know baby, I know. It’s time to step up into the credit card universe. Until then, if you are interested in getting your hands on the split 10” or anything else, contact me at info@ethospine.com and you will be taken care of. Yeah, other bands you should definitely check out: Funeral Diner, Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound, City/State, 30 Years War and of course the almighty Marc Antony for being the radest trio known to rock the late night hours of Top Dog.

On 8-27-04 will be the last Babylon show (for good while). This is Marty’s last week in town. He’s moving to Phoenix for many months to show Arizona how it’s done. Thanks for all the good times my man. Bands: Rogue State, Jesus Makes the Shotgun Sound, Werewolf with Robot Hands, and 401 Waterman. Starts at 10pm Frank/401 Waterman informed me that they had to kick out their guitar player. Why? He is an undercover republican. Swell move dudes.

On a much heavier note, (heavy as in 405 tons heavy) www.ericblumrich.com


8-09-04

Dogs of Ire/Death to Tyrants - Split 10" ESN005 is out and available here. Sink your dusty needle into this foxy packaged piece of wax. There are 1000 records pressed and that means there will officially be nowhere to sit in my house. If my math is correct that’s almost as many stockpiles of WMD found since the beginning of the invasion/occupation right? Check out the Death to Tyrants US tour dates with Ampere. Dogs of Ire will be on most of the CA shows. Marc Antony AKA Brute Medium will be on one.

R.I.P. Kiss Kill You. They played their last show at the Che Cafe last saturday with Sean from Piano Drag rippin' on the bass. A rousing P-Drag set preceded the final clatter.

Circuit Scarecrow will be fuckin wit your head Thursday night at the Knitting Factory in Hollywood. Check the show page for the deets.

Brothers and sisters. Time to whip out the ol’ lawn chair and watch the explosions light up da sky kinda like…bombs over them “emeny” brown-folk till you cant help but choke on a tear or two because this here is freedom goddamit. This here is my freedom brother. Our forefathers’ blah, blah, blah… Yes, we know all too much about your dead daddies. Here is a more important declaration from Frederick Douglass on July 4, 1852 that, for some strange reason, never quite makes the NASCAR rallying cries. Put this on your hotdog.

Rogue State are back in town after a quick trip into the armpit of hippydom – our beloved northwest. One can only wonder as to how the Canadian border let six bazookas and 2.5 ounces of supreme dope slide past their sacred, golden border. Without passports? Fuckin’ wicked eh. Also, their new release, Statues that Fall, is available here and has been receiving plenty of positive feedback.

Make a point to witness Piano Drag at the LA Tofu Festival in Little Tokyo Saturday, July 24. It’s a noon to six show. Mmm hungry, hungry.

Just when you thought your inches were enough dept. Death to Tyrants/Dogs of Ire will not be releasing a split 7” anymore. Nope. They said to go fuck that idea completely. Therefore, a split 10” will be out in August along with some CA shows with Ampere. Check out the Death to Tyrants/Ampere tour dates. They’ll do a number on your psyche.

Marc Antony are out on the road but not in accordance with their tour schedule. They are also not returning phone calls and e-mails. They are having too much fun. Find out what makes this amazing three-piece not give a shit and let me know. “ The best band of 2003” – some crazy zine.

On the Rogue State tour Angel ran into some people who knew our good friend Jello. We always knew it was a dumb name. What are you gonna do? For anyone who knew Charles Kueck (Jello) there is a plaque in memory of him in Seattle where he frequented. If you’re ever in the area stop by and give this community organization some support. Peace for the Streets by Kids on the Streets. http://www.psks.org/index.html

The site is back up and running. Sorry about the last few days.

OUT NOW! Rogue State "Statues that Fall" CD ESN004
Ahhhhhhh yeeeeaaaahhhh!  Pick it up here, or even better, support this release by checking them out on their West Coast tour.  Thanks to David O and Eugene at One Cell for busting serious booty for us.

Brute Medium AKA Marc Antony will also be spinning the odometer for the next couple months. Check tour dates and support this unique trio however you can cus these guys are the real deal. Just like their van. Their other government is a democracy.

Okay, lets cut the shit. One of the best bands around now is - sorry, not another bunch of nothing-to-be-angry-about angry white dudes (yawn) but Olympia's own Liarbird AKA Lyrebird. Stimulatingly complete with, dark violin, standup bass, keys, and captivating female vocals. This band makes me fall in love with music all over again.

For those of you in S. CA, June 12 and 13 is SATURATION. Music, art, music, and more art. And more music. For free. Do you think the city is behind this? Fools. It'll always be DIY baby. www.disposablepop.com/saturation.

Admission Free, Parking $5

MAY 1, 2004

Anything worth a damn in this country exists on the broken backs of the marginalized multitudes. From the rabble, to the threads, to the riffraff.   To think what this place would be without the tireless dissident.   Happy May Day.    

- Rogue State have completed their rock and will have a CD out in June in time for their road trip.   Heard a couple tracks.   F’n nuts.   Tour dates up soon.   

- Dogs of Ire will be in the studio to throw down their side of the Death to Tyrants split.   Oh yeah, Death to Tyrants song?   6 + minutes of f’n nuts.   Out in August.

- Circuit Scarecrow played an intense record release show.   Thanks to the many for supporting.   Big fuck you to the spineless cheesecake that stole the show money.   We’re comin’ for you.

- Marc Antony aka The Brute Medium who insist on being identified as Marc Antony, will begin a full US tour the end of this month. Alaska??  They don’t entirely know it but their full-length is to be released 2005 with us. They will also have a split LP coming out with Movement Three on www.friendsforeverrecords.tk. They still have 7"s left over from the robbery. Get a hold of Jon: commishbags@aol.com.   Also, their site will be up and running again soon.   I will also be posting their shows from now on because they are THAT awesome.

4-15-04

Just confirmed. Sadaharu's new album, Anthem For New Sonic Warfare. On vinyl. All 12 inches. With a hole in the middle. This bloody summer.

4-05-04

Happy late-Cesar Chavez Day for those who like fruits and vegetables available in grocery stores.

This is a nation of TV babies wanting mommy and daddy funneling art and music down their darling hipster throats. This month of April is a special good-bye to our friend, Misky, who just moved from Los Angeles to Lexington, Kentucky because sometimes…ya know, sometimes that’s what it takes to get away from the jaded CA multitude and make life inspiring again. May the gods of rock protect her from the spoiled and dull. They can be contagious.

Circuit Scarecrow will be tearin’ apart a warehouse somewhere in Riverside for their Snares and Escapism 7" release show. It’s scheduled to be Saturday, APRIL 23. No details as of yet. Further info will be posted on the Show page when all is confirmed.

We failed to post the Piano Drag show at 51 Buckingham in Pomona due to sheer lameness. For those of you who went, you know how they lit that place up already. And as usual. The best of vibes from a momentous unit.

If anyone failed to witness either of the back to back Rogue State/Sadaharu shows then shame on your pitiful soul. Really. Special thanks to Jim for offering his house the last minute.

AND if anyone was lucky enough to experience the brilliance of Brute Medium @ Koos or Ches Cafe then well, you know a band of this greatness is so fucking ETHOSPINE that something is gonna HAVE to be done about this goddamn problem soon.

03-08-04
Circuit Scarecrow's Snares and Escapism 7" is out! All 500 of em'. I fucking swear.

Few things for 2004:
Circuit Scarecrow - Snares and Escapism 7" out February.
Death to Tyrants / DOGS OF IRE - Split 7" this summer.
Rogue State will be planning out their full-length. This will be worth the wait.

February 2004 AD. The western calendar rewards the indoctrinated empire of sheepshit with the excitement of The Superbowl, The Anniversary of the Constitution, Lincoln's Birthday, Valentine's Day, Presidents' Day, Washington's Birthday, Flag Day, Ash Wednesday and yawn,yawn,yawn. But what I bring to you is code-red information unintelligence sources fail to acknowledge -- the real threat to their National Insecurity. In a dark sequestered garage in the confederate flag-waving, shit-inhaling, inbred, mad cowboy town of Norco, CA, something else is happening. Rogue State have busted into the Pete's studio and are holding the head sheriff hostage. They refuse to release the pig till their demands have been implemented: your undivided attention. And why should they deserve this? For the ETHOSPINE NOISE-Me package my friends. Damn straight. The economy will not boom, but your stereo must. How could security let such scum get through you say? With gorilla instincts one learns deep in third-world jungles of badass colored folk. You see, while Bush's Colin was busy suckering the masses into fearing more of Washington's puppet despots (again) Rogue State easily sliced through the contaminated chicken wire and have already recorded over Madonna's 2" reel. They move fast. Not like a virgin. More like...that kid Rocket in the "City of God." You must immediately abandon your earthly possessions on e-bay and save your $15.00 for these guys' death-defying achievements for us all. What does this package consist of? Why, the three things we currently have:

1. Circuit Scarecrow -- Snares and Escapism 7" ESN003
2. Piano Drag -- Possessions and Positions CD ESN002
3. DOGS OF IRE -- Reach for the Burning CD/Booklet ESN001

***Also includes posters of each band***

$15.00 POSTAGE PAID! Put that on your toast.
A letter from Annie Digress:

Hi,

I'm Annie Knight, a library science student and zine publisher, and I'm working on creating a database for the zine archives at San Diego State Universities library. I am contacting California zine distros so that our archive can continue to grow with new zines being published in California. In doing this, we will be working towards our goal of representing as many voices and views in our archive as possible pertaining to California zinesters. But most of all, it is important for zine publishers to have their zines cataloged into libraries so that independent voices are continuing to be preserved and represented in the public and other spheres of influence like that of universities.
If you are interested in having your zine become a part of the San Diego State University "West Coast Zine Collection," please contact me at digress@9250x.com.

Thank you,
Annie Knight

There was an Ibanez SDGR bass guitar discovered in the DOGS OF IRE/Piano Drag tour van. Our guess is that it's from the Che Café show (01-3-04). Contact us.

Circuit Scarecrows 7" is being pressed and there are final touch ups being made to the artwork and packaging. We know the wax was promised in November. Yes, we lied to you all. But it's only for your own good my dearest of friends. This, you must believe. It's best you not know why. Just believe. "Reports that say something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." - Donald Rumsfeld. Plain English spokesman John Lister said: "We think we know what he means. But we don't know if we really know." The record will be ready when it's ready. For real this time already.
· Some DOGS OF IRE/Piano Drag dates are posted, but there are a couple shows still being worked on. Don't be shy. Maybe we can drive to your town. We actually love to work directly with the people we play for. Oh my gawwwwd…so passé!

Piano Drag's debut CD, Possessions and Positions, will hit the streets in November. But you, my little etho-muffin, don't have to wait to dance in your shower. Be the badass on your block and get it here ya' heard!
The Circuit Scarecrow 7" will be out in November. Okay, for real this time.
Rogue States are considering a name change once again. For the love of rock, lets all hope they stick with it. The band with many names will be recording in November for their full length CD (possible LP). MP3's will be up soon I betcha.
