Spewing forth from an industrial swamp south of Detroit in the mid-1980s, Art Phag cut a raw-boned, stripped down, gut poundin’, dead raisin’, hot damn I’m on fire and I’m takin’ you fuckers with me to hell path of destruction through the Motor City music scene for nearly a decade before flamin’ out like Russian space junk fallin’ from heaven on a starry starry night. Co-founded by Detroit’s legendary surf-rock-a-billy guitar lord and mad scientist, Len Puch and heavily medicated, sometimes lucid, mostly liquored, crazed songwriter, Vegas Razz, Art Phag combined a heavy, swampy, bluesy wall of thick thick mud with a bazooka directness. Heavily influenced by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, The Cramps and a steady dose of voodoo beats from the other side, Art Phag blasted a sonic grunginess long before kids were rippin’ their jeans in Seattle AND doing it all with only a greased up guitar, jungle pounding drums and other-worldly vocals. At their highpoint, Art Phag tour with the likes of the Jesus & Mary Chain, The Membranes and My Bloody Valentine. Art Phag's star slowly fizzled out in the mid 90s as prison, psycho wards and religious rituals began to take their toll on it’s founding members. However, stars never really die and nor do rumors. Although there has never been any indication that Art Phag will re-unite or issue new material, every once in a while, like an icy cold howl from the most desolate graveyard, word circulates that something is in the works…
Someday, my children…
Someday…
hey everybody guess what, theWUN is up and running at our homepage and waiting for you to join us there, i intend for these forums to remain open and active as long as myspace doesn't bother them, but we've finally got a center of operations which isn't on Myspace, and i say thank God for that. Please tell your friends, as Myspace might just delete us before i get to even tell all of ours, you never know and that's the problem with Myspace WorldUnificationNetwork. ning. com WorldUnificationNetwork. com and WorldUnificationNetwork. org (all go to the same place!)- Join Us!
Yours Truly, dcb (wun creator and webmaster) myspace. com/oscarakachris P.S. Its going to take me almost 2 months (!) to invite all of our friends from myspace to this new place, so i would very much appreciate you taking time to sign up @ WorldUnificationNetwork. org just so its easier to contact you, we're not very much of a network without you! P.S.S. That also means that once i've invited everyone i'm going to assume that if you want to keep updated about what we're doing then you'll join us because it litterally takes forever (well it feels like it) to contact you all the "old fashioned" aka myspace way... P.S. AGAIN this was supposed to be a message and not a comment, but myspace maxed me for the day! (400 is my "quota")
