In 2005, Mike E.T. a.k.a. The Alien, of Bliss(This) fame released the stunning "Captain Freak" CD. 13 songs of rock and roll majesty, a tapestry of rock's powerful take no prisoners history. Bored of all the nameless faceless rock of the new decade the Alien gave music's boring landscape a serious kick in the ass. Since then Mike E.T. has holed himself up in his Sober Sucks Studios. No one has seen or heard from him since. But WAIT!!!!OMFG can it be can it be?!?!? The long awaited follow up to "Captain Freak" is FINALLY HERE! WTF was Mike E.T. doing over these last 4 years? Geez, you would think a musician that locks himself up in his Sober Sucks Studios would come out once and a while to play - but not Mike E.T. The Alien was lovingly caressing his guitar strings in the most god awful perverted way. His poor keyboard was banged and hammered from one end of the studio to the other. Between writing music for a futuristic CGI movie still in development and adding some cool tunes to a soon to be filmed PORNO (hehe, I said porno ;-))), Mike E.T., between psychotherapy sessions with his mixer/therapist Paul Kurzweil, wrote and recorded 18 songs, 13 of which come together on the deliciously demented and aptly titled "Lunatic Binge." Whereas "Captain Freak" was mostly in your face the entire CD, "Lunatic Binge" veers from sick rock and roll to melodic musings about life. Think Trent Reznor meets the Bee Gees; after a drug binge. Think Pink Floyd for the 21st Century. Think Ozzy and a sequencer doing battle for each others' soul. Mike E.T. hopes you enjoy his creation. He poked his head out of his studio to give the world Lunatic Binge, and now he has once again crawled into his studio, locked the door, put a huge dresser against the door, and has imprisoned himself with 50 cases of Corona, 5 bottles of Patron, 5 guitars and 12 Virgins. See you in 2 or 3 years...

THANKS MIKE!! Same to You!! It is so great to see someone not trying to follow trends and just put out sincere obviously from the soul misic!! You are original and you ROCK!! All the best to you always!!
Thanks for the add man. Preciate the feedback. You're music has a unique quality to it. It's like Marilyn Manson mixed with NIN with a touch of ambient undertones. It's good though. We've got a demo we're working on which should be out in September sometime so check back when you get a chance and we'll have some recorded tunes for you.
Hello CrimsonFaced!! Thanx for the req!! Your sound is great and your tunes very interesting!!! BRAVO! That's something different! Have a lovely week and all the best!! Pris.
