Site Updates

Posted on May 18 2008 by Bisquitodoom ( 453 )

Ok, I know it's been a while since we've updated parts of the site. I've spent the better part of the day doing just that. New additions include:

New Song Download - After some bandwidth issues, these are back online and there are several new ones waiting to be put up. The current song is a live version of Señor Peligro from the New York 2006 show.

Tour updates - Thanks to Revco, I've updated all the dates for the 1990 Mind tour, and should have them all correct now. I've also added ticket stubs/posters to several shows including 1/11/90, 2/3/90, 6/19/99, 7/25/92, 8/12/92, 1/24/90, 8/3/90, 12/27/92, 12/1/92, 11/8/88, and 4/11/03. Feel free to browse around the tour section, as updates are pretty continuous.

New Interviews - I added an interview from the Phoenix Sun Times from November 1988 (thanks to tenohtwo) and scans of the Chicago Tribune 7/12/92 interview we had previously only had a transcript of. The real interview includes a picture of Al/Patty/Adrienne (then 7) and a picture from the Lollapallooza practice sessions. Also added to the interview page are a few Wax Trax promotional pics/press releases. Scroll to the bottom for those.

USSA Tour Cut Short

Posted on December 12 2007 by Afra ( 449 )

Unfortunately USSA will not be completing their N. American tour:

Unfortunately, we're headed home early. Duane was injured at one of the shows, and after two grueling weeks of pain ended up being sent home by a doctor for repairs (some minor but necessary surgery). We'll be back out on the road as soon as possible.

Happy Holidays everyone.

We wish Duane a speedy recovery.

Paul Barker's Flowering Blight

Posted on November 12 2007 by Afra ( 446 )

From Paul Barker:

"Hello everyone. I have some music I am going to release under the project name of FLOWERING BLIGHT. This is music I have worked on recently, recording most of the music and vocals. I'll give full credits song-by-song as they are finished.

The first song I am releasing is entitled "The Perfect Pair". It's a monster in three parts. Here is a 35 second clip of "The Perfect Pair, pt2". You can download this snippet on the sound page.

I am also playing in a band called USSA, formed by Duane Denison and me last year. The USSA cd, "The Spoils", is available now and we are currently on the road through the states this fall. You can see more about the band at the USSA homepage (and also Myspace, as well here on prongs).

Thanks to you and prongs--
PAUL BARKER

New Song Download

Posted on November 01 2007 by Bisquitodoom ( 443 )

Yeah, I know it's been a long time, but the song of the week has offically been changed. Since the version of Time To Melt proved to be too large to leave up as a download for very long, I decided to go for another treat from the same show. On the sound page, you'll find a live version of Hellfudge from the infamous New Year's Eve 1989 show. This song made very few live appearances, and is made more unique by Jello's anti-80's ranting.

We also brought back an older download, in case you missed it way-back-when. This time, the wonderfully reworked version of All Day from the 1987 mini-tour is making it's reappearace. Check it out if you missed it the first time.
