we're petrified! update

2010-03-03T16:04:00.000-08:00

nope, this update isn't about any new we're petrified! shows.

the update is that those lazy-ass killer-buds finally gave me enough files to put together a decent version of the "we're petrified!" tab. i guess i'm one of the buds now too, but i'm talking about the ones who do the music and the videos and the artwork and stuff. "who are you then?" you might be wondering. the answer is that i am francis p. rutherford III, the new webmaster for killerbuds.net. i go by frankie if you ever email me or if you see me around town. so maybe you remember when the killerbuds.net website looked terrible. well, that was before i took over the webpage duties. now the page looks way better. i'm still making some improvements and trying to sort through all the archival stuff the buds have given me, so there will be new stuff up from time to time. keep your expectations tempered since they don't pay me for my time.

anyways, the "we're petrified!" tab is cool now. there's footage from 3 of their concerts last year as well as concert posters. i'm sorting through pictures of the band's live shows to put up later. for now though, go to the "we're petrified!" tab and click on the shows in the left bar to see some footage from those shows. footage like the one just above.

read all about it!

in the future, the alpha beta cigarette corporation is a cigarette company committed to helping smokers quit (more on that in future posts or post-futures), but, right now (or post-present), abcc is a new super-group made up of the members of pythons and look out for snakes!

3 steps to quitting: voyage to nowhere, abcc's first release, is a concept record about the universe. you can download it now.

can you guess which member made which album cover? (hint: look out for snakes! is one person, pythons are two.)

changes at killerbuds.net

2009-10-05T11:56:00.001-07:00

the killerbuds website has been undergoing some changes recently. first of all, we added a sort of portal page to highlight the latest finished projects of us buds.

we've also added a way to stream all of the killerbuds stuff online. you can listen to everything on the main page, or you can listen to everything from one band by going to the band page. most of the flash music players are equipped with a shuffle feature if you want to listen to a little of everything. we still will have everything available for free download so you can listen on your computer or your mp3 player or so you can burn it onto a cd or tape.

there's a portfolio page that has been added and we'll be developing this greatly over the next few months. we plan on posting drawings, computer art, paper crafts, comics, album art, and other visual things on this page. right now, only the album art is up, but that will change shortly.

the video page is being re-done. we'll still post links to download high quality versions of our favorite videos, but the flash versions we will post directly on the page so you don't have to wait too long for the video to stream.

and finally, the we're petrified! page is being changed. right now there's nothing there, but soon we'll have concert posters, some concert footage, promo videos, and the we're petrified! song contest singles.

we'll also be putting up more things (art, video, etc) on the individual band pages.

have a look around the new layout of the site, and stay tuned for more additions.

especially stay tuned for some new projects like gun crazy and zap gun, as well as another look out for snakes! album.

mz mona mars - raws

2009-06-21T14:55:00.000-07:00

(raws stands for reading and writing science)

mona, flying on the y-13 rocket-ship, was the first earth animal (including humans) to successfully land on mars. once there, mona found both sources of food and water.

"due to overexposure of ultra violet rays, mona's cells are regenerating at an exponential rate," nasa reports. "there is a good possibility, given that her biological system will soon reach equilibrium, she will live forever."

you can download the record made in her honor here:

2009-04-14T18:06:00.000-07:00

blood coaster made two podcasts on consecutive sundays in feb of 2008. as suddenly as they appeared, the suddenly podcasts stopped.

demon attack: reelected!

2009-02-04T08:06:00.000-08:00

this is the last known video footage of demon attack before his death (murder/suicide):

reelected! is a compilation of unfinished, unreleased and remixed material extracted from the mountains of tapes found in demon attack's mansion after his death. the record provides valuable insight into the fragile emotional state of demon attack in the last months of his life.

"most of [the music] was unlistenable -- just noise," explained mr and mrs database, who oversaw the posthumous production of reelected!. "this is the best we could do with the material we had to work with."

the following is footage from an unfinished, self-produced documentary about demon attack found after his death:
