When he is not busy being deceased, Damien Tavis Toman is also the singer and guitarist for the wonderful Gothic rock project, The Devil & His Witches. You are strongly encouraged to go to their profile next, albeit after making a thorough examination of Damien's solo work, both here and on his official Memorial Society website.
that's what i like to hear. we're on the same page of parchment, about to rise up from the ashes (still covered in ash, albeit molting). i'm ready n rarin' when you are! i could probably get the record store's backroom studio for rehearsal space, though it can be cramped. i'd play in a burning shack for all i care. and yes, i'd love a copy of the devil & his witches, you my friend are welcome to as many copies of bathos in aqua as humanly possible to devour.
i know how you feel all too well. we would be a gimmick without lifting a finger towards gimmick land. the simplest way i can put it is, the band in my brain is so dynamic, wandering wherever it wants to through static. primarily electric, but we can do whatever we want. i want to overwhelm the masses to the point of inducing convulsions unto perfectly healthy people, not horrifyingly unpleasant ones, fun convulsions. make them feel things they didn't know they could feel. the hardest part about it might be finding others to come aboard...
oh i used to be much worse when i was the ringleader of a "grunge-punk" band that pined for the 90's... now i just dress how i feel that night and maybe take into consideration where i'm playing, because i tend to blend in/stand out accordingly.
Would it be totally inappropriate to request that, should I die before you, you make it very clear to all who execute my wishes that my deepest desire is now to have my epitaph read 'The First Tarzan'?
Well, I love you even if you ARE in Kerhonkson. And I would love you if you weren't. You wouldn't get stuck on mountains anymore, and wouldn't stress out quite so much!
I hope the show goes gloriously tonight! I miss you. I tend to do silly dances when I hear the Psychedelic Furs and the Smiths, because I think of you! Also, when I hear 'Hungry Like the Wolf,' though that one's a little less pinkies-up.
not sure if there are new venues so much as places that agree to feature music occasionally. i wish there were more... to my misfortune i'm currently smothered far beneath the weather, so if i make it tonight i've stepped on my own throat. in case i don't, break many many bones :-)
no, the new venue isn't anywhere near opened unfortunately... it's the one with paper all over the windows and show signs outside (the old singer building). but i'm playing the salvage co on jan 17th!
happy new years to my craziest cousin who im supposed to stay away from with sharing ideas haha =] had about $150 worth of party supplys. i woke up at 7 and im fully recovered now =] we have to go out soon with my moms side of the family for her bday 2marow .. then erik comes home today =] whatt about you, recovering also would be my luckiest guess
It's pretty nicely designed...for a writer (ha). I read a good portion of the book so I got a decent sampling of the depression, self-loathing, hubris and wisdom I bargained for. As always with your creative output, it has a quality that I'd like to see mass produced. Maybe because I'm old fashioned and I see physical manifestations of creativity as a validation of worth. Though in a digital age maybe I am as out of sync with my epoch as you my friend.
I see you and your pretentious pictures. No matter how much black and white you use, I still have a picture of us at six in the morning with the ugliest, tastiest birthday cake in the world and you in a Decorum! hat.
Case closed. Your snooting license has been officially confiscated.
