"Clikatat Ikatowi was one of San Diego's most celebrated bands. They helped maintain the city as the art punk capital of world. They created twisted yet naturally flowing works in a broad range of styles. Ranging from lightning fast and huge, to stripped down, spacey, and lethargic, Clikatat's songs were always engaging and mesmerizing. It wasn't just their excellent compositions which made them everyone's favorite band but also their superior musicianship. Mario Rubalcaba, who has gone on to play with Black Heart Procession,RFTC,etc is simply one of the best indie drummers around. He plays unbelievably fast and complex parts with taste and style. Guitarist Scott, who previously played for another Gravity band, Heroin, often conducted meandering, noise-filled experiments without compromising structure. He also always knew when to keep it simple, and to compliment the other members. Cutting-edge yet organic, they were one of the best."

the fact that I can hear clikatat ikatowi online makes this wretched Fox owned marketing mining dissent commodification tool worthwhile. we'll make it rot from within.
fall of 1995, chicago illinois, fireside bowl---Unwound, Los Crudos, Clikitat Ikatowi, and Shotmaker. This was one of the greatest shows i've ever seen. All i could think was "wow Unwound's gotta play after all these bands, yikes".
Although we admittedly now live in a time when literally tens of thousands of children across the globe are unjustly disciplined each and every single day of the year simply for murmuring the words, "Merry day to you", or "Can I please turn my music up louder?"-- Despite that, we try to retain a bit of hope that someday the future will bring us all PEACE.
THAT is what we WISH for during this so-called "HOLIDAY SEASON", and to be blunt, it is a wish we greatly hope for each and every single day during the other seasons of the year as well... A simple wish for PEACE.
