EYES and SCOTCH TAPES!!(and COLD MOLD,and HEALTH, and DOC.EUGENE CHADBOURNE)





AL is a great guy! he runs SCOTCH TAPES! out of Canada...worx with LOTS of experimental bands and has released a ridiculous amount of things. His Upcoming releases include a BUNCH for my band EYES. Including a cassette of a TON of our digital tracks right before we changed to a live drummer. A remix lathe we did for HEALTH's song 'We are Water'...and a track of a song we did with Doctor Eugene Chadbourne called "decompose" Doc Eugene was the brains behind SHOCKABILLY and the creator of the Electric rake as well as being a leader in experimental country music for YEARSSSSS now, he also released Jon Zorn's first album. When He played here in E.Moline in my record store about 2 years ago...and the crowd cleared the room, i put him on the spot and asked him to contribute to this EYES track with his electric rake...he said sure! i busted out my digital 8track, and as ive done many times before, i refused to let him hear the track he was getting to record on, i wanted to capture the moment with his initial scratches at the surface. he listened to our unordinary,somber song and rattled around the electric rake, which i ran through a distortion and delay pedal..he exclaimed he'd never done that before?! weird. What you hear on the upcoming lathe is what we captured. With EYES im very proud of specific ground breaking experiments, this being one of them...thank you AL for releasing this!  AND AT THE TOP OF THE LIST, is a split lathe with our booking agents band COLD MOLD, Bobby Missile(Ballistic Missile Booking) is the guitarist of ATTRACTIVE and POPULAR a amazing band of which NITCO and GSL released their 12" and cd a few years back. Cold Mold takes on a very similar feel of dancey post punk, however they are a 2 piece with Anna Wingfield on Drums and Vocals too...EYES and COLD MOLD go on tour the day after XMAS and will be on the road to bring in the new year together. 5nakefork records and 5traight printing will be co releasing this with Scotch!!!dope! Above is all the art ive done up for all  the different releases, cant wait to have them all sitting on my lap!!
