Band Members

Blake Kincaid - Guitar

Eli Osterberg - Bass

Steve Novotny - Drums

George Renan - Vocals

Dick Thyne - Dead & Arisen Spirit

Robot Jesus - Messiah bringing peace and understanding between robots and humans, thus avoiding the coming apocalypse of the robot revolution.

Influences

Rock Operas like:

Hair
Jesus Christ Superstar
Tommy
Ziggy Stardust
Joe's Garage
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
Rocky Horror
The Wall

Theatrical Bands like:

Hawkwind - anarchist space rock, could there be a higher calling?
Idiot Flesh - we need secret inflatable appendiges
GWAR - pigs blood or fake semen, as an audience member which do you want to be sprayed with?
KISS - mainly just the platform boots, breathing fire is so 2005
Spinal Tap - in those plastic pods! George keeps an entire watermelon in his pants, but he doesn't wrap it in tinfoil so we can get through customs more easily.

Total Inspiration:

Captain Beefheart
Jimi Hendrix
Frank Zappa
Ian Gillan as Jesus Christ
John Torturo as Jesus
Don Genaro from those Carlos Castenada books
Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers
Chrome and Helios Creed
Nik Turner
and all the Robots, little and large, bless their shiny little heads!

Sounds Like

Black Sabbath - from the 70s

Frank Zappa - the guitar oriented stuff

FuManchu - but our songs are about more than skateboarding and car racing

Clutch - they might be the Slaphog of the South

Spinal Tap - where fiction and reality blend

The Darkness - George doesn't do falsetto, alas

Queens of the Stone Age - infectious, like any good germ

Killdozer - going to the beach & free love in amsterdam!


JESUS - He's pointing at YOU, Muthaphuckah!

Type of LabelNone

   About Slaphog

Slaphog invites you to join the new ONE TRUE RELIGION of the Cybersavior: cute little baby Robot Jesus.

Come to our shows! We are touring the vast continent of Portlandia this summer. At each show we will reveal a new revelation of the Cybersavior. As we create the bridge for life to cross from the age of humanity into the age of robots - BE THERE!

LISTEN to our music! The mp3s that we upload to this site represent your musical destiny. Slaphog is creating a nexus of creative energy that will concentrate human essence and form the starting point for the explosion of mind fire that will consume the universe in total awareness.

To fully succumb to your destiny, go to - The Hogblog - that is where the mere humans channeling the Slaphog mysteries reveal their earthly origins.

You should visit our Robot Hymnal so you can study up to pray to the Baby Robot Jesus. He/She/It will bless you a googleplexfold.

Be our FRIEND. We want to be a friend to all fellow travelers. In our friend collection you will find other Portland bands, Portland venues, influences, prophets, and really cool people. As a rule we say "yes" to friend requests, unless its from one of those fake profiles from a porn site. Talk about bad robots!

My interpretive art is a live-action performance inspired by the bands I perform with. I collaborate with other musicians to create an artistic performance that's never been seen before. While the bands play on stage, I translate their music so you hear the colors and see the sounds.

Trading in paintbrushes for twisted and crumbled, recycled newspaper give me the edge and depth I need when painting. It also points out the importance of finding new uses for old things - especially when it's used to create something new.

Bands/musicians/artists,that I have worked with: Tre(lowercasesounds,Nent-Agri), Noahs ark was a spaceship, SPSRecordsnstudios, Blunt Force Monkey, The Pink Snowflakes
It's all ART to me! I just love to create! Thank you all for your support, not just for me but for all independent artists.

Upcoming Shows and Gallery:

Feb. TBA, 2008 Word of mouth gallery

March 8, 2008 Gotham Tavern w/Lisa Mann

March 21, 2008 Twilight Room w/Jenny Sizzler

2008- TBA - w/Riverpool


I'm always on the lookout for talented groups to perform with. So, if you are looking to add that something extra to your live show, let's collaborate.

How was the easter robot jesus with strippers show? I couldn't come because we had jet lagged guests...
Satan





Apr 15 2006 2:39 PM

So is this new Jesus for everyone, or just for the robots amongst us?

Exactly how will George "give birth" to the new baby robot?

I would imagine it will be all pointy, and that could hurt coming out of small opening. But which opening?

I will be there to help with the religious trappings.

Keep the hellfires burning - SATAN
