   About puertomuerto
Puerto Muerto Puerto Muerto began life as Johnny Deformed in Saint Louis four years ago. The pair played minimalist music with the ego of a twelve piece band. The two members share the writing responsibilities. Puerto Muerto (Tim Kelley and Christa Meyer) are based in Chicago and Saint Louis. In Chicago, they live in a huge complex called the Cavebarn, which includes their apartment as well as the studio they record in Recently Puerto Muerto toured the UK and Russia. In England they drank beer and in Russia they drank various hard liquors. They will be back in the UK and Europe in May and will then be found wandering the west and east coasts in August. At this time the duo is working on “Songs of Muerto County”, an original score to the 1973 classic film, “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre”. Puerto Muerto albums Your Bloated Corpse Has Washed Ashore! See You In Hell EP Elena Compilations The Executioner’s Last Songs Vol. 1 Hangman’s Song Chamber Music 36 James Joyce poems set to music feat.

Hey there folk.
Let's have a talk.

You got yourselves a fancy, new album and I want to buy it.
Not from some crappy iTunes bullshit.
I had to do that for H&D and while the music was the same lovely music, I had an emptiness in my heart I could not fill.

I turned to Crystal Meth. It worked for a while, but it kept requiring more and more and more to fill the whole in my heart.
So I then turned to prostitution to help pay for my meth habit. After about a week my pimpess, Jizzabelle, started abusing me. She would yell that I "needed to be tighter" while using a crescent wrench on my dick.

So here I am, a shell of a man, with a $10,000 a week meth habit, disfigured genitals and finger cancer. Did I mention I have finger cancer?

The doctor says that the only way I can be cured is for you two to play a show and sell me I Was A Swallow.

So I know this is a huge favor, but please save my life.

Love,
Mike "I-have-finger-cancer" Hayes


PS- Forward this to 5 friends within the next 5 minutes and you will win an iPod. Also, if you don't, your bestest friend will get the flu.
Them's the breaks!

I like the "intro" of "Who I am"!...The song got good rhythm and your voice with the lyric is splendid!...I question to me?..."Who I am"!...

maybe a simple human being living so so far away from Chicago!, no?...

Greetings "puertomuerto" from Buenos Aires, Argentina.

P.S.:I know!, I know!, Argentina is like a disaster!...laughs!...

Learn, Artist! will be appearing Friday, March 28, at the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum (Skinker and Forsyth) on the campus of Washington University in Saint Louis. The performance will begin at 6:00 p.m. and continue until 8:00 p.m. Free snacks and free Pabst Blue Ribbon beer will be provided.




Come listen to Learn, Artist! and visit the two great exhibitions now on display:

THADDEUS STRODE: ABSOLUTES AND NOTHINGS presents a selection of large-scale paintings by this LA-based artist as part of the Kemper Art Museum's Contemporary Projects series. Strode's first major museum show, the exhibition will include two dozen mixed-media paintings--wild mash-ups of California surf and skateboard culture, Zen philosophy, rock music, literature, film, and comic books.

ON THE MARGINS aims in part at underscoring the contrast between the realities of disaster and how they are presented--what we see and what we don't see--through the lens of today's media. All of the works in the show were created in the last seven years. Collectively they investigate a range of aesthetic strategies that depict the ways in which war and conflict around the world impact--or fail to impact -- our everyday life.

Featured Artists
Adel Abidin, Laylah Ali, Paolo Canevari, Enrique Chagoya, Willie Cole, Luis Cruz Azaceta, Willie Doherty, Jane Hammond, Martha Rosler, Do-Ho Suh

"quite a few years ago, a gigantic, evil-smelling rotten egg exploded and sent its foul odor throughout the radios of the world. it was called rock and roll. from this swampland of garbage fumes emerged monstrous off-key sounds of various nasal vocal groups and pimple-faced boys and girls croaking their unintelligible lyrics for djs to release like a vast plague into the ears of the defenseless public."
