Wow. Insane stuff. Here's the pic that caught my attention.

as much as I like MOTW .. this is a little too out there for me.
what I don't like about some of these bands is that they try a little too hard to be different.

BUT !

Saturday, September 11 @ 698 Flushing Ave., Brooklyn, NY
w/ PLEASURE HORSE, FAST FOURIER
10:30pm, FREE

Free show ... :) this saturday ... and it's like 10 minutes from my home. Might have to see this and grab a drink.

Not bad overall.
 
from their website:


Behold... The Arctopus is currently working on new material that is more forward-thinking and unique than before, with a stronger emphasis on cohesive composition
yes, more "cohesive composition" will get them a little further than basements of clubs.

there is some solid talent there ... it's just all over the place. :grin: :loco:
 
I love wacky shit like this. I can't listen to it everyday or while driving or anything, but on drunken nights when you're trying to out-weird your bros with music, Behold... the Arctopus should do the trick.
 
Yeah I noticed that too, I think when he said a 12" vinyl was being released before the CD I just assumed it'd be full length. :loco:
Arctopus said:
the 12" version will be out on Epicene Sound Systems this novemeber or december. the cd version will be out on Troubleman Unlimited's Vothoc series early next year. you can see the cover at beholdthearctopus.com.
 
They need to get on a label that would give them both the resources to record a full length and creative freedom...wouldn't be surprised if the KD guys have recommended them to Mr. Zorn...

The new song is insane...play it for your friends who think (insert band getting airplay on Headbanger's Ball here) is the heaviest shit out there.
 
Heehee, thankfully the friends I play with this game sometimes outweird me so they aren't really the Nu-Headbanger's Ball crowd. :)
