hey ya'll
cruise over to the wire website and dig on three exclusive mp3s we have up there.

here's a little extra info on the track Lust(a very different sounding SW track)

the title is actually "LUST 158" and was part of a
series i was doing- setting the words of fave authors
to music. this track was from LUST, words taken from
Elfiede Jelinek's book. all the words were taken from
particular pages in the book, hence the 158.

well perhaps a bit of an overreaction to our wire review but hey it was a hack job and i needed to get that shit out of my system and i felt as though the work should be defended, totally over it. big thanks to all the wonderfull emails we've recieved from many of you in support of Shrine---TOTAL RADNESS!!!

okokok enough review bullshit let's get down to why we're here---NEWS!!!

well the weirdos just returned from our first mini-tour and i have to say it was stellar!!! had an excellent show with xela and tarentel at the hemlock in the city and then we headed on to L.A. for the bottled smoke fest. it was RULING!!! we had the full-on lincoln boombox shrine in effect along with a couple of out-of-town weirdos whom we never get to play with---it was one of our all-time favorite sets. so many great people and excellent music at bottled smoke we really had a great time---thank you so much to everyone who helped out with this trip and all the bands that played at bottled smoke---and a massive thanks to Jefre over at root strata---such a bro and largely responsible for turning many of you on to our sound.

here's the links to a couple of excerpts of our set.

also wanted to correct a statement from the previous post. we don't have 10 more releases coming out this year, we have 10 more releases coming out in the next year (12 month span) and for the record we've only had 3 releases this first half of 2007 with one of them being a very limited one-sided LP(we have a couple left in our store!) but yeah lots of stuff coming up---we'll post an update soon with more info.

RAD!!!
what an awesome review!!! nick cain really knows his shit!!!

after describing the last track he goes on to say "the remainder fecklessly overemphasis derivative noise-drone guitar" the only guitar on the entire album is the opening track about 10 minutes!!! and i'd be curious what it's derivative of. the other 25 minutes has no guitar. i guess it would sound like derivative noise drone-guitar if there was an actual guitar being noisily derivative!!! he gives the album such a passive listen he's not even sure what he's listening to so he resorts to some flippant, bullshit description---well done!!!

he continues with his description of the title track "field recordings of waves lapping on a shore and seagulls are barely distinguishable from Ambient cliche" this guy's ears are fucked, such a lazy listen. waves lapping on a shore and seagulls are where we live!!! i guess that's ambient cliche when used in a composition. no mention at all of it's compositional elements or it's construction or the other sounds involved. as if you hear sounds like this used in this manner all the time!!! please show me an example!!! so lazy.

if your going to critique something why not put in the time to give an honest critique. then you could rip the album to shreds, totally destroy it...instead of this bullshit.

to be fair i can totally picture it. it's late at night your hella stoned i'm talking hel-la you got a stack of cds in front of you waiting to be listened to your tired it's been a long day you pop in the weirdos shrine album and your like "oh fuck not this bullshit and this lame fucking band name no way!!!" but then the last track starts and your all settled in and your like "this shit's not tooooo bad, it's actually pretty good fuck it."


well get bummed!!! we got 10 more releases coming out this year for you to wipe your ass with.
bunch of new stuff

U-Sound cdr---vol.30
SPLIT CDR WITH INCA ORE/LEMON BEAR
