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
