   About PIGSHACKLE
Formed from the ashes of a number of bands and projects around the south London area, Pigshackle came into being at some point in 2003. After jamming with a few slightly different lineups and styles, the three piece you dont know or love, was born. The blurry eyed individuals that emerged from this dust cloud of white noise and barely audiable grunts of pleasure were now a band.

Using a stripped down set up and the numerous jams as a foundation, they got to work on the formation of a number of songs and although the band was still in its infancy, a distinct style and sound started to emerge from the Orange and Blue studio walls. Leaning more and more away from their obvious influences, the crumbs of originality started to float in the metaphorical cup of tea that is Pigshackle. Their first recording, EPIG, was recorded by the band in April 2005 and released on Febuary 5th 2007 via Genin Records. The EP of loungey grooves, boomy bass lead songs, weird timings and long brutal fuzzy riffs was enthusiastically received by crowds and critics alike and is available from Genin Records and all good music retailers.

A somewhat quiet period followed the brief EPIG promotional tour as they threw themselves into more and more obscure musical territory. Live appearances have been all too rare as the band have concentrated on writing their debut album. Those lucky enough to see the band during this period will note the dramatic stylistic shift from the early EPIG material and refinement in writing and arrangemnets. None of it should make sense and it doesnt.

Keep your ears peeled, something new is coming! OINK, OINK, OINK!

The as yet untitled debut album is slated for release in mid 2009, once again on Genin Records!

FREE SOUNDS!

fool that I am, I'm giving away my new live EP for absolutely NOWT.

'tis known as TOTAL DISINTEGRATION THERAPY – get it for nothing by clicking on the cover below and heading to megaupload.



this is the first guanoman release to feature guest musicians - my good friends jaquinho and stewbeard provide lashings of noisy and erotic guitar action on the last tune. the rest is real-time live-in-the-living room stuff. three new tunes, one old.

enjoy, or not.

music should be free: art not commerce :: love not business
