A collective childhood wasted in front of the SNES, Dungeons & Dragons, The Beastmaster, creation myths, the 80s, THC, and two decades of Seattle bands taking themselves way too seriously.
New record, 'The Chronicles of Lazer: Vol. I', is now available for purchase here!
A show review from soundonthesound.com:
"Surrounded by a sweaty hollering crowd in Seattle's Cascade neighborhood, Marvin Lazer saved the world. He didn't do it all by his lonesome, but to say more would spoil the epic tale that is the story of the Discs of Fury. Jeff of M Bison promised it would be a night to remember, and it most assuredly was...
...Discs of Fury were the center of attention this evening [though], and to a packed crowd the heroic tale unfolded. Part parody and all fantasy, the story of Discs of Fury is age old, with our protagonist Marvin Lazer appointed as the savior of the world from the forces of evil. Discs of Fury is the story of his journey and how he gathers companions to help him defeat the dark Batlord. Hilarity ensues, a love story begins and tragically ends, and Marvin Lazer realizes his true power. Complete with costumes, plastic toy weapons, a narrator and additional actors, Discs of Fury is a complete production.
This particular evening was happening in celebration of five of the songs from the rock opera coming out on Discs of Fury first EP The Chronicles of Lazer: Vol 1. The songs, completely over the top, fit snugly into the personality of the demands and the setting. Part Freddy Mercury, part Pete Townshend, and part Hedwig, Marvin Lazer spared no calorie in his quest for vocal supremacy. I swear to god I felt like I was in the middle of an eighties action movie during a couple of the training montage. Jean-Claude would be proud."
Pocket Change brings you another large ensemble show on Thursday, May 22nd at Tula’s in the heart of Belltown! This show will feature some good friends and jazz monsters to recapture the thick sound and incredible energy from our sold out CD Release Show at The Triple Door last December. We’ll be performing our full set from that night, as well as a new set of material arranged for our extended line-up. Special guests include Ivan Arteaga on bari sax, Aaron Jenkins on tenor sax, Sarah Nelson on trumpet, and Seattle veteran Jay Thomas on alto sax!
Cover is only $8 and the 8pm show is ALL AGES for the first two sets. As with our last two shows at The Triple Door, we expect this show to sell out, so make your reservations today! Call Tula’s at (206) 443-4221, or visit them at 2214 2nd Ave in Seattle.
A friend's band up your way just had their instruments stolen - The Drews in Tahuya, WA. Someone broke into their house and stole 5 guitars - one was a family heirloom - an old Fender White Telecaster. There's pics of the stolen guitars on my site at www. screamingstone. com Hoping you can help spread the word around your area. Thanks and rock on!
This Friday, March 21st at LoFi, J&J Music Presents a night of groove with yours truly and groove monsters the Water Babies!
This show will be a different from anything we’ve done in the past. Expect couches, rugs, pillows, and a slick loft feel when you enter, giving you the option of laying back and enjoying the sounds, or getting up and grooving along with us. There’s no stage so you can get as close as you want to the action! This is our first full band show since our sold out CD Release at The Triple Door, so we expect a full house and the release of lots of pent-up energy...
Cover is $7 and it’s 21+. The Water Babies will be getting started at 10pm, with P-Change up at midnight. See you there!

Sorry for the lame advert friends! We have been hacked. Ironically, one of our friends does indeed have a crush on you! What are the chances?!? But still, sorry. Shouldn’t happen again, and we’ll track down the bastard who did this and make 'em pay. Love, -The (real) Special Purpose
I stole one of your videos for my own personal collection... please don't unleash your righteous fury of rocking upon me! Or... maybe you should... because that would rock.
It was great fun the other night, guys. Looking forward to the next show, where I will FEAST upon YOUR FLESH, and hopefully not break my plastic sword right away.
The management at Finn MacCool's is thinking about giving the shaft to live music at their bar. Don't let it happen!!! P-Change will be doing in everything in their power this Saturday, June 23rd at 10pm to make this night a groove fest so come out, enjoy the $2 Millers and $4 Stoli Vodka specials ALL NIGHT LONG!!! $5 gets you in and as always it's 21+...
