These guys obviously listen to punk bands that existed long before kids like Good Charlotte--who, for unbeknownst reasons, believe they're punk--were even born. Hey, remember how The Dead Kennedys sang songs like "Holiday in Cambodia" and "Kill the Poor" to shock and offend people while simultaneously making them think about and question society? That's where My Penis is coming from, with songs of ancestral guilt and going to Afghanistan. Then again, they have a song about masturbating to pictures of your mom, so maybe they're just sick f***s. Either way, "Just Like Bukowski" is the feel good song of the year (all two months of it): "Lost my money at the dog track / Just like Bukowski / Bought a cheap whore and want my money back / Just like Bukowski / My cheeks are pocked and my jaw is slack / Just like Bukowski."
My
Penis is loud. My Penis is gruff and crude. My Penis loves Bukowski. Oh, and My Penis is a band --- sloppy, raw, and fun, essentially punk. Those in My Penis have pretty much secured their fate in the show biz subterranean. I mean you'll probably never hear; "...and the Grammy goes to My Penis," but it'd be cool. Chuck would've dug it anyway.
I got another look at My Penis as well and found them to be kind of like punk-groove-rock, or ska without most of what makes it ska but with a heavy rock sound instead (if that makes any sense).
i saw you guys last night at the Penny Arcade in charlotte N.Y...umm you guys are fucking horrible. you suck, your just a bunch of drunk 30 year olds who think they are punk and who think they are musicians. Theres a difference between musicians in a band and guys who play instruments together. I cant believe you opened for an amazing band like shiny toy guns. thats like having horse shit as an appetizer before you eat the main course of filet mignon. if you would have opened for a bunch of barking hyenas fucking each other in the ass, i at least would have said to myself, well at least the line up all fit together pretty well. dont come back to rochester...
Totally what I expected. Fun as hell. They sounded just like their mp3's and were just as entertaining and lively. Spot-on. So if you like their songs...on their www.myspace.com/mypenis site, you'll like them live. Growly vocals from the lead singer, growly riffs from the rest of the band, and the drummer poured his soul into every hit of his skins. Great chorus too, especially on thier "Bukowski" song. They were a little faster live than I expected though...but it worked well and sounded great. You can tell they really love their stuff too. I've seen alot of bands around here, these guys put their hearts into it more than any other band I've seen. It really did remind me of a Jello Biafra sound, maybe I'm crazy. Great punk band.
Videos:
So, after about 10,000 views, MySpace and Fox News have decided that the Bukowski video is too hot or disturbing to be on here and have removed it. It's still on YouTube. Check it out if you want to be emotionally scarred and/or horny.
Here's what people are saying about it!
Nasty and pointless!
I think I got dumber after watching this...
It's NOT art, that's for sure....
I have to admit, I enjoy Charles Bukowski, but this was damn funny! I actually thought the lyrics were perfectly fitting.
haha. I think Bukowski would've loved it.
some people might find this is too close to the mark. a thing people hate worst is being told their own pathetic little attempts at individuality has been done before and better. ...good vid
How fucking dare you!!! An absolute insult to his memory.
Good video. Very chaotic.
the instrumentals are awful, the vocals suck and the lyrics are crude
punk rock at its fucking best!
cant get enough of this song

I was approaching my current place of employment, and I admittedly dreaded the thought of arriving. Despite my eager presentation during the interview, I despised the work that I was hired to do. I was situated in one tiny cubicle by myself. My task - my ONLY task - was to sweep the floor of my foggy workstation all day which gets continuously and progressively very dirty. I do not know where the dirt comes from but it piles up every day until I clock out, non-stop, and this is certainly grueling, unsatisfying work.
hey, thanks for the add! you guys are really good.
we'd really appreciate it if you'd take a listen and let us know what you think. we'll be playing in buffalo in june, so keep updated! -circus of jericho
hola My Penis ! qué tal? yo aquí escribiendo todo el día este mismo saludo a todos mis friends. ya hasta las teclas que uso en este mismo estúpido e insípido recadito están como los jeans que usa mi papá para bañar al perro. ojalá tuviera algo más deinspiración. pero te aseguro que si llega la usaré para una rola, no para andar bombardeando myspace con saludos desnutridos. ayós! besitos!
P.D. Ya hay unas canciones de adelanto del próximo disco!
Hi there My Penis first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark www.tthlabel.com so that in the even that we do close our myspace account you will not lose contact with us. Thanks again for being our myspace pal!
Mustafio make millions big showoff. Tell Flapjack come over show how he push button for butler. First big shot say, "Cut off edge of dollar cigar then light for me." No problem. Then push button again. "Flick ash off cigar and then bring bathrobe." HA! Butler put bathrobe on prick bastard, Flapjack see bathrobe covered with numbers. Mustafio push button again, say to butler, "Back itchy, you scratch number 14." HA!
I want to thank My Penis for being my friend. My Penis was waiting patiently for 8 hours for me to approve our friendship. If My Penis ever needs a hand, let me know, I will gladly give My Penis a hand, there is always a happy ending to the story that way.
Past Members: Arthur Ratnik, Ali Mac, Kitten K Head, Count J-Sin, Zax Gotback, Punkin G'Damn.
