Here:

We're Baaaaaack!

HELLO ALL!

White Fang has returned from exploring America and there's lots to do!

There will be new releases soon and other AWESOME surprises.

There'll be a post up soon of some tour stories and whatnot.

Oh and if you made an order, could you send us an email as a reminder? We've dropped the ball a little and are trying to reorganize ourselves.

Expect these:

Argumentix tape
A. Flint Jamison tape
Megazord tape
Las Blancas de Huevos e Ojos or the Whites of Eggs and Eyes by Super Destroy CD-R
White Fang live tapes
etc.

"Stay Strong"

Hello friends,



As you may know, White Fang is planning to tour the U.S. next month. We were relying on the sale of Kyle’s car, a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier, in order to purchase a van.



Unfortunately, today we were leaving a jam session and the worst thing that could ever happen, did indeed happen.



Kyle, thinking that his car was in reverse, pushed on the gas sending the front of the car straight into the truck parked in front of us. The truck is fine, but Kyle’s car is now, basically, totaled.



The hood is smashed and the radiator is busted. So is the left headlight.



Now, not only do we not have a way to get a van, but we are not going to have almost any money for tour. We were planning to make a profit in the sale of the car and the purchase of the van, in hopes that we would have a tour fund.



Our resolve is as good as ever, but this puts us in a whole other realm of hurt.



We are almost done booking the tour, but now we need to ask anyone who knows anyone for help.



If you have a van, or know someone who has a van, and are willing to let us borrow it for our tour, you will be forever be our savior.



And if you have any donations that you’d like to make, you will get every White Fang album, tape, shirt, etc. for free for life.



Please, please help your band.



I know the world is in shambles right now, with the economy and the state of things in general, but if you can help we will never forget it.



Thanks for reading,



White Fang

Recovering

Breakfast Mountain, Madrad, White Fang. Throw some Darwin in the middle of all that and you have cooked up one mean night.

Only two words to explain what happened last night. "High Energy"

First off, the hush was packed to the brim. Terry Radjaw called me at 8:30 to tell me there was already a line outside.

Nine oclock rolls by, house lights still up and there is anticipation in the air. Darwin hits the laptop, mashing up some sweet Bollyfunk sounds with bands like Weezer, Soulja Boy and Ol' Dirty Bastard. Darwin knows the rules and he breaks them.

Breakfast Mountain is so dear to my heart. The beats are so grimy. Madrad couldnt stop talking about them the rest of the night. Which brings me to Madrad.

I'm not sure if Portland was ready for them. But we brought them anyway. People were dancing so increadibly hard that on the floor below you could see the cealing shake and the had to build a makeshift stage support in one of the bedrooms below. A adoring female fan jumped on stage and tackeled Buffalo Madonna and proceeded to hump him. Hard. Really hard. Stage dives, groping, being groped. I've never heard the word "Pussy" so many times in one set. Rightly so, it is the number one inspiration of their music.

White Fang, we all know White Fang here at Gnartapes. But it was an amazing set. Very rowdy. Gnar. Gnar Gnar. I examined my body today and I'm 25 percent bruises. Nuff said

Expect Photos and videos from Squints, me and Tony in the next couple of days.

Gnar tapes is blowing up. As you can read below, Erik has asked me to join the team. I am putting full effort into this. Tapes are up for sale on our myspace! myspace.com/gnartapesandshit

The Return

It's almost as if Gnar Tapes & Shit didn't exist before this point. Things have become far more organized and serious since the last time I posted.

For one thing, I'd like to introduce my new business partner, Jordan Strong.



This bro has been a deeper member of both White Fang and SK8 & Rhone f, wor some time now. In fact, after Zach and the other bros moved to Kansas City, Jordan took Zach's old closet room. Jordan also works at the awesome art gallery on Burnside called Grass Hut. Jordan is also one fucking amazing photographer. I couldn't do this without him. As we go along, you'll all get to know and love him. But for now, let's talk about what I know you all want to hear about... tapes.

I'm sure you're familiar with White Fang's doppleganger band, Super Destroy. As of right now there are four different Super Destroy tapes.

There are two very new ones. First we have Eat My Shred, a ten minute tape that me and Kyle made. 6 tracks. There is no way this one will disappoint you. Very charming and welcoming, this tape will help you to realize that you have a friend in the merry pranksters here at Gnar Tapes & Shit.

There's also the newly found Death Eaters tape also by Super Destroy. Another ten minute banger, this raw and noisy spazz document took a few days of listening to figure out just who made it. We realized that it as TC on drums and me on a fucked-over and effected three stringed Kramer guitar. This tape fucking owns!

We've also re-upped on our previous Super Destroy tapes, Gamma Ray and Cool Bros. These tapes couldn't be more different from one another. Gamma Ray was the first Super Destroy piece to ever exist and it contains jams ranging from its A-side of primal noise-punk jams, to the ending nylon guitar almost-joke song. The tripped-out Cool Bros is a tape collage of songs that everyone could recognized, recorded and fucked with from CDs, radio, and tapes. Destroyed songs from the Beatles, Peter Gabriel, Usher, Fergie, radio commercials, etc. This tape will weird you out and make you smile.

Within a day or so we will also have finished our tape duplications of our bro-beatmaster Breakfast Mountain. This tape holds a very, very special place in all of our hearts. There are a lot of folks trying to make good beats, but no one can make such heartfelt and banging tracks like he can. This tape will rule your world, I promise.

We will also finally have our White Fang live tape GNAR OUT: LIVE ON KPSU very soon. I just have to find the CD-R that contains the performance. This tape's performance is one of the first that include Chuck on the second drum-set. Raw and unyielding, this tape will be a fine addition to any rad tape collection.

That's a lot of information about each tape and I'm getting tired of writing and not watching this rad 1979 Jackie Chan movie called Fearless Hyena. (This movie is awesome. It is overdubbed in the traditional-comedic way, complete with British voice acting and very strange and tripped out reverb/delay on the fight sounds. I love it.)

Soon we will have tapes from Panther, White Rainbow, Fist Fite, and other bands that you know and love. As well as a scream-punk tape from White Fang, a grind-techno tape from TC, a few mix-tapes from Feather Headdress (one of the best rap-beat duos you've never heard), etc.

Shirts soon too. A skate video. DVD-Rs and CD-Rs (aka CD-GNARS).

Also I made a Super Destroy record by myself that will be coming out as a clear-purple 10" record on Virginia's Now Hereness Records.

We also have White Fang's Marriage Records debut Pure Evil, as well as States Rights Records most recent Zone compilation, Grown Zone.

That's all for today. We are going to start posting every day now. We'd love to hear from you.

Check our Gnar Tapes & Shit myspace: http://www.myspace.com/gnartapesandshit

You can order a few tapes so far there through PayPal. We'll have more up soon. We will have all of this going smoothly soon. It's only been a week to this day that I quit smoking weed.

EMAIL US! gnartapes@gmail.com or email me personally at bravebravebears@hotmail.com

Keep on keepin on!

...

I'm putting shit together TONIGHT.

You have no idea what wonderful tapes I bring.


next post: THE RETURN

GNAR TAPES & SHIT: THE RE-UP

Whassup kids.

Sorry, it's been a long time. Things have been going down over here at SK8 & Rhone. Zach and Wolfboy are moving to Kansas city to start an art gallery/studio with our friends Matt Huff and former SK8 & Rhone tenant, Jason C. aka Dust Collector, DJ-Sun, Raw Blow, etc.

So I'm no longer in the basement. I am up in the top floor front room, above the front porch, facing west. Steve and Thaddeus live in the basement now. The main floor is totally changed. The old living room is now the art room. The old art room is now Kyle's room. And the old main floor room is now the awesomest living room ever.

Chuck's going to be moving into the balcony room when Zach and Wolfboy journey onward. Then our good friend Jordan Strong, White Fang's official photographer and bro-dawg, will be moving into the infamous closet room, nestled near the doorway of the balcony room. Then Chuck's old room becomes the room of our homie Tony Ortega aka Orem (the Sink). He just moved to town a while back and got a job at Starbucks.

Kyle and Steve are still working at Peet's Coffee next to the Marriott downtown. Thadd is still working for that glass artist dude. Chuck's still up at the warehouse. I still need to find a job. It's an immediate goal and priority of mine that I intend to conquer. But I digress.

White Fang had a photo shoot for XLR8R magazine. That was funny. The results should be rad though. Saw our radio reports. Kind of exciting.

We also got our very own sub-label of Marriage devoted to making split 7" with White Fang and other bands together. Its called CHIPS. Get ready.

Talk of a Super Destroy art book/White Fang photo book. Maybe.

And the first Super Destroy album release is going down between a set of recordings I made over a seven-month period and a label in Virginia known as Now Hereness. It will be a 10" and will look REALLY rad. Maybe translucent purple vinyl...



But enough about that.

GNAR TAPES & SHIT has re-upped on some Super Destroys. I got some Breakfast Mountain CD-GNARS. I got a few more Dust Collectors. Going to be making some new shit.

WHT FNG - But the Princess is in Another Castle: Get ready for a WHT FNG tape like no other. A-Side is three songs. Vocals are mainly screams with me and Zach. Two drummers; Jimi and Jason C. Kyle on guitar. B-Side is the recording of us making up the new song "Cool Powers" on the spot. Plus Tyler's cabasa song.

That's the only one I can think of right now except for the three or four new releases of more Super Destroy projects.

(NOTE: In case you didn't know, Super Destroy is whatever weird jams and shit that White Fang does together, (also it takes me, Kyle, and Jimi being involved in order to make it White Fang anyhow) but doesn't stand up to White Fang qualifications. But it can be any lone wolf recordings too. I do all my lone wolf shit as Super Destroy. But I digress.)

Also States Rights Records is going to drop a new Fang. Keep your ears to the streets.


PEACE OUT

-Erik

BEST SEXY BOYS EVER

White Fang has returned to their home fortress of Sk8 & Rhone and are totally enjoying the glory of the return.

GNAR TAPES & SHIT

GET READY MUTHAFUCKAS!!

Gnar Tapes & Shit is hitting the road this Saturday as White Fang tours southbound with White Rainbow and Rob Walmart. In our goody box of treasures we will have some serious merch. Really serious merch, including the ridiculously amazing mixtape by Breakfast Mountain, White Fang Gnar Out live on KPSU, Super Destroy's new THIRTY-MINUTE split-tape called Hernandez the Tape with one side by Wild Bird called The Goo and one side by Megablaster called The Return of Megablaster: Spandex Knife 2, our crew-dawg/rapper Say What is going to drop a Savages tape that is without a title right now, and we'll probably have a few of the other tapes including some of Super Destroy's Gamma Ray, Cool Bros, and Blind Bat tapes and maybe a Dust Collector tape or few.

We'll also have our first CD-GNARS (used to be called CD-Rs, now they called CD-GNARS). These will be some our cheaper merchandise; longer album lengths, but larger quantities so therefore cheaper for you to buy. We will hopefully be releasing two CD-GNARS that we will take on tour with us. The first is the classic demo by Scar of the Archetype. A spew-bag of all things metal, (especially keen on the thrash and black metal vibes) this CD-GNAR features White Fang crew-dawg Thaddeus Clemens (TC) on drums as well as our friends Ben and Max from the Clatter House (where Fortress of Amplitude and White Rainbow played last night before the cops came on some fight call or something and we had to move it over here at SK8 & Rhone). The other CD-GNAR is the first Super Destroy album called Las Blancas de Huevos y Ojos or the Whites of Eggs and Eyes, coming in the form of a garageband produced solo-album by White Fang's front-kid Erik Wolfgang. 10 songs with lots of singing overdubs, nylon string guitar overdubs, floor tom overdubs, snare overdubs, shoeboxes, broken drum heads, bottle collections, poles, walls, rimshots, clapping, etc. Both of these CD-GNARS should be around three dollars or so, no more than that. We'll probably making thirty of each.

Also make sure to scoop up the Gnar Tapes over at Rad Summer!
(Not only does Rad Summer have copies of the White Rainbow tape, the Super Destroy tapes Gamma Ray, Cool Bros, and Blind Bat and Dust Collector's Gnarcotixz tape, but they have the sickest gear on the planet, including rad-ass shades, records, tapes, cds, cdrs, etc. 36th and Division here in southeast Portland.)

MORENEWSSOON

CASUAL DINING

SOME THINGS.

So Rad Summer has Gnar Tapes. Rad Summer has the best gear too. Go down to their place on 36th and Division and get some tape and some clothes and shit.

Also my good friend Adrian is playing tonight at the Artistery as Thanksgiving (!!!!!!!) with Grouper and the artist formerly known as WOELV but is now O Paon or something. We are going to be there tonight, you should too.

Oh yeah and Rad Summer is having a show tomorrow night with a band called Lamb's Laughter that should be really trippy and rad.

Check their blogspot too.
right over here
I think I have a link on to the right of these words. - - - - - - - - - - - - - >>>>>

Today should be rad too.

CHEERFUL POETRY OF THE COSMOS/BEST SEXY BOYS EVER - WHT FNG

White Fang, our boys with the noise, have been doing all kinds of shit lately.

The last show they did was with Argumentix at the Clatter House, which is where our friends from the death metal band Scar of the Archetype live along with Joel who does sound down at the Satyricon. No joke, Joel knows what he's doing. I heard he did such a good job at the Wolf Eyes show the other day that somebody told him he must really care about Wolf Eyes. Which is funny and really rad too. But anyway the show was totally gnarly. Jimi, our lead drummer, is in Mexico near Guadalajara in a town called Atango to celebrate his grandparents' 50th anniversary, so we had our good body-buddy Adam Forkner of White Rainbow fortune fill in and he totally nailed it.

The kids went nuts and we were all really fucked up. SUCCESS!

Word on the street is that the White Fang's Marriage Records debut entitled Pure Evil should be in the office any day now, maybe a week or so?

The shit sounds great I guess, as it was mastered by, who else? Adam Forkner. Get ready to cream your jeans as your world gets rocked.

More word on the split 7" with the Righteous & Harmonious Fists! I went down to Marriage and saw the art for it, designed by none other than Maria Joan Dixon who did the fucking shit for the Valet Naked Acid record. Ours is got like spirit soldiers coming out of the sky as a cloud and shit. It's fucking rad. Those should be out soon too. Homeboys over at Tender Loving Empire are going to do the packaging, while papa Steve Schroeder over at States Rights Records will be doing the DVD that comes with it. Should be a sick little package!

Some deeper word on the street is that a badass little label called Now Hereness is putting out a new Fang 7" entitled But the Princess is in Another Castle that will contain the new banger jam "Eat My Shred" as well as B-side thats title is unconfirmed. Who knows when that shit will be ready... end of summer maybe? Sooner? Later?

Speaking of States Rights Records, word on the street is that they are making an Arigato pack for a 7" part of a release for the Pregnancy Series or something and the Fang is going to do one with a 7" called Mythology and a long EP-CD called Realer Godz or Cheerful Poetry or something. That's going to be rad. We were going to record over at Jackie-O's space or something with Adam, but Jimbo went to Mexico so we'll have to wait until after tour.

Even deeper talk of a split 7" with ...worms for maybe Marriage?

Also our tour with Rob Walmart and White Rainbow starts on July 10th or 11th or something and we'll be going down through California, which is a place I've never been before. Along the way we'll get to meet the Starving Weirdos and go swimming and play with Lucky Dragons at the Smell and all kind of stuff. Check the White Fang space (www.myspace.com/whtfng) to see our tour dates and shit.

So much to think about.

Hit me back later.

-Erik

So I've been getting hit up for the White Rainbow tape (known as C10 aka GNAR LIFE) a lot and realized that I don't have a paypal account.

So the remainder of the White Rainbow tapes will be split like this.

Rad Summer, the coolest store in Portland (trust me, they have the BALLERest gear around, plus all kinds of cool records and shit) will have TWO of every Gnar Tape we have, including C10.

Marriage Records had two of them, but they sold out today, so Gnar Tapes is going to sell the remaining SIX on their web-shop-marketplace. THEY ARE STILL $20 WHICH IS A LOT OF MONEY BUT IT IS WAY WORTH BECAUSE IT IS A FANTASTIC TAPE THAT WILL ONLY EVER EXIST IN THIS FORMAT IN THIS LIFETIME.

If you try and bootleg this shit GNAR TAPES & SHIT will come to your house and hurt you REALLY REALLY badly.

Remember, the other tapes we have are FUCKING RAD too. They will be presented to you with pictures and whatnot at a later date.

As for now, direct your emails to bravebravebears@Hotmail.com for any questions regarding purchase.

PEACE OUT

GNARCOTIX

EVERYONE!

The first Gnar Tape is officially ready.

We are stoked to offer you this boner-inducing banger from our good friend, and recently departed house mate, Dust Collector aka Dustin Seafelt, C.MEL, Suede Callahan, Raw Blow, Johnny Carcinogen, DJ Redbeard, Bread Boy, DJ Son, etc.

This tape is totally fucking epic. Its primarily a rap tape, but in its 10 minute entirety features some of the most amazing transitions I've ever heard (including a tripped out grindcore blast that sends you headlong into the dopest tropical island beat ever.... seriously.)

So as is usually with GNAR TAPES & SHIT, at least on our end, we will only be offering you the limited edition of 10 to choose from. They're all lovingly hand-made and dubbed for your consumption and will cost you a whopping $10 a piece. This includes a free GNAR TAPES & SHIT handmade poster as well as some other weird goodies.

You can email me at bravebravebears@hotmail.com to place an order or send your neatly concealed money in an envelope addressed to:

GNAR TAPES & SHIT
3626 SE 8th Ave
Portland, OR 97202

We will have a shit ton of tapes to sell you REALLY soon.

Here's the forecast:

White Rainbow- Gnar Life ($20) 10 min TAPE
White Fang- Gnar Out ($15) 10 min TAPE
Breakfast Mountain- Gnar Tape ($15) 10 min TAPE
Super Destroy- Gamma Ray ($10) 10 min TAPE
Super Destroy (Megablaster) - Cool Bros ($10) 10 min TAPE
Super Destroy (Wild Bird/Megablaster)- The Goo/Spandex Knife 2 ($10) 60 min TAPE
Feather Headdress- Wananana ($5) CDR (Edition of 20)

That's just a little bit, there's SO much to come.

Including the highly anticipated SPECIAL THANKS video VHS starring White Fang & the Super Destroy crew, the SK8 & Rhone house, Marriage Records Ringwraiths, and SO MUCH MORE!!!!!

WHERE ARE YOU HIDING ALL YOUR FUN?

So I must sound like a total jerk but Gnar Tapes is still gearing up.


Trust me dudes, this shit is going to be so hot you won't be able to cool it off.

Also check the White Fang myspace for show updates.


We're playing with YACHT next. He's a really sweet guy, isn't he?


On a similar note, yesterday me and Jimi went over to his parents' house and we found my old copy of Nortenas by Lucky Dragons, from the Pregnancy series.


Gah, stupid thing happened earlier.

I plugged a power strip into the wall, but when I flipped the switch on it all the lights in the room and the CD player that was blasting Zen Arcade stopped blasting.

Now I have to figure out how the hell I'm going to fix this problem.


All the power in my room is gone, but nowhere else in the house.


Goddammit.

Greener Pastures & Dank Outs

Woke up this morning feeling dazed, but not in such a way that I felt unrested. More rather that the intake of substances can place a nice little bookmark in your tome of physical sensations, meaning that I kept my finger placed firmly somewhere between the page about being hungry and the page about sleeping on a makeshift bed.

I don't know where I'm going with this, but I haven't accomplished much so far this morning. I've used the bathroom, texted homegirl, and checked my emails. I want to work on Gnar Tapes shit for all of you today, so I think I will.

Shit is so unorganized right now. Going to figure this shit out.

Be back later.

-Erik

FUCK THE WORLD

Today we watched The Decline of Western Civilization.

I've been getting back into punk really hard; it was all I used to listen to from eighth grade until sophomore year of high school. (At my peak I had over two hundred compact discs with band like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Bad Brains, Germs, The Clash, Circle Jerks, Meat Puppets, Minutemen, Fear, Agent Orange, Buzzcocks, The Fall, Dickies, Crass, D.O.A., X, Reagan Youth, The Damned, Social Distortion, The Undertones, Subhumans, Operation Ivy, Joy Division, Toy Dolls, G.B.H., Sham 69, Adolescents, etc. For some reason my parents, who both listened to punk when they were young and still do, wouldn't let me have Misfits or Descendents. It was stupid.)

Anyway the movie moved me deeply and I got deeply into.

Today I listened to all of the Spiral Scratch EP by the Buzzcocks and the entirety of Jamboree by Beat Happening (they played with Black Flag, dude.)

Listen to these ones:

Bad Brains by Bad Brains
Nervous Breakdown by Black Flag
Complete Discography by Minor Threat
Group Sex by Circle Jerks
Walk Among Us by Misfits
A Collection of Pop Hits by Reagan Youth



But, honestly, Beat Happening's "Cat Walk" is my song of the day.

-Erik

SPECIAL THANKS

So here's some news.

We have proof of these tapes right here. Again only ten minutes long.

White Rainbow (Gnar Life) (Ambient break tape. To cool off)
Breakfast Mountain (Gnar Tape) (Heavy beautiful beats. To get quickly pumped)
White Fang (Gnar Out) (Loud fucked up radio broadcoast. To add to your collection.)
White Fang (Summer Vibe) (Limited edition reissue of our sold out classic. To be free spirited.)
Super Destroy (Gamma Ray/Blind Bat/Cool Bros/Hana Hutchings) (Everything.)
Savages (Mix Tape) (Not to be fucked with. To rap.)

There will be VHS soon, as well as DVDrs, CDrs, shirts, zines, coloring books, stickers, tattoos, lemonade, etc.

Pictures of the tapes soon too.

GNAR LIFE

GNAR TAPES & SHIT is almost ready.

When it begins we will have a varied assortment of ten minute tapes (that's five minutes on each side) with all kinds of fucked up shit on them.

When we're ready to show you, we will show you.


As for now, keep on keeping on, ass.
