This site is for fans of The Causey Way and is maintainted by a Causey follower, not the band.
Sure, they are building a newer, larger compound in a remote,undisclosed location outside of Gainesville,FL. And yes, their leader Causey bears a scandalous resemblance to David Koresh. And yes, they do offer Causey Blood (vegan) in communion cups before their services. And, of course, the audience ("congregation," rather) is encouraged to fill out membership nametags at each service. It goes without saying that they're more than merely terrified about Y2K. But, they are not a cult.
Causey formed the Causey Way in 1995, and formed the ACE (Aural Communications and Entertainment) division of the Causey Way in 1997. The ACE comprises the entertainment program on the Causey compound, bringing musical joy to the festivities at the end of a hard day's work. Causey, believe it or not, used to skateboard professionally using the phony moniker "Scott Stanton". He used to defy gravity with corporate sponsorships emblazoned upon his chest. In interviews he explained, "It was the closest approximation to the feeling of walking on water," perhaps an indication of his future calling. One day, after landing on his face, breaking his nose and damaging his perfect dental mold, Causey was enlightened. (In a touching tribute to his leader, The Button still wears the very helmet that saved Causey's life). Causey finally saw the light and felt an unprecedented sense of purpose. Startled by his revelation, Causey wanted to start anew. He awoke from his concussion with a mission: THE CAUSEY WAY, a grassroots ministry that would target those who needed it most, the corrupted, club-hopping youth of America. He dreamt that his followers would release doves to beg for encores, rather than ignite lighters. He employed stringent criteria in recruiting his clergy. The future associates were not allowed to have played in prior bands, or have ever played a musical instrument. Causey wanted to teach his followers everything, declaring "Start with a fresh seed to meet the greatest need". He made one exception, though, allowing Boy Causey to join the Way. Boy, aka "Brian", currently holds a day job with MAN OR ASTROMAN?, as well as having served in SERVOTRON. Causey made one thing clear when accepting Boy Causey: he must dedicate 50% of his MOAM earnings to Causey as a love-tithe.
Shortly after the ACE's inception, THE CAUSEY WAY sent an information care package to Jello Biafra, who requested more information after a long theological discussion with Causey. It contained a digital testament of their rockin psalms and some thoughtful Y2K necessities including generic bleach, air sanitizer, and a supply of cotton swabs large enough to clean out a chapel-full of ears. After receiving this offering, Jello Causey wasted no time in filling out his membership name tag, and the rest is history. Jello Causey has adamantly denied journalists' claims that he was brainwashed or lovebombed by The Causey Way. In fact, THE CAUSEY WAY filled a void of "New testament Wave" and "pulpit punk" that was missing in his life. The music of CAUSEY ultimately defies description. Everyone must experience the sounds of salvation for him/herself.
Hence, Alternative Tentacles is proud to present, With Loving And Open Arms, THE CAUSEY WAY'S full-length debut from 1999 and 2001's Causey vs. Everything. An EP entitled WWCD which charted at 35 on CMJ (available on Put It On A Cracker Records) preceded both of these, and the band released a cross-denominational ep entitled Testimony on the Fueled By Ramen label.
Their new band is called Pilot Scott Tracy on Alternative Tentacles. Their latested album is called "Any City" (2005).

Please come out this Wednesday night (May 9th) to Bottletree to see Japanese avant noisemakers, Mono. Just to give you an idea, Godspeed You Black Emperor are huge fans of this band. Their live shows are careening in fields of volume and agonized sound that thunders against club walls and human skulls. This may sound obvious, but it is always a bit extra of a stretch to bring a band from Japan over to the Alabama, and your support helps us pay for the extra expense that is figured into bands' cost of making the over seas journey. Basically, we will love you forever if you come out to what will surely prove to be one of the finest mid-week mindbenders of this century. Thank you graciously for your support and enthusiasm
HERE IS MONO'S BIO INFO:
Throughout their six-year career, MONO has ascended consistently in both popularity and critical acclaim, with record sales and live show attendance corresponding. But still elusive to the Japanese quartet has been the successful translation of their powerful and violently beautiful live performances to their recordings. Despite their albums' masterful subtleties and majestic walls of noise, the consensus has remained that their transcendent live show is simply incomparable.
If there is any chance of breaking that spell, it lies in You Are There, without a doubt the prime contender to unite the live and recorded worlds of MONO. Once again captured to tape by Steve Albini at his Electrical Audio studios in Chicago, IL, the album extends the cinematic drama of 2003's Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined (also recorded by Albini), while surpassing the sinister heaviness of 2002's lauded One Step More and You Die.
If Walking Cloud was a nuclear winter, then You Are There is the post-war rebirth; steeped in an ominous creation-via-destruction atmosphere not heard since Neurosis' landmark Enemy of the Su
