We do still have copies of the Knife Fight EP for sale from Beat Oven Records so hit us up if you want one. $5 ea.
===================================
BIO
Stumbling from the gutters they fell or were thrown into, four miscreants come across each other one by one, not knowing whether to flash their stiletto blade before the other cracks a half foaming beer bottle or throw a fist before a chain lands on their skull, they rush their way into a back alley brawl. These young hooligans in black cowhide and greased back hair eventually realize each other as allies and defenders of a true religion called Rock n Roll, but only after the last punches are thrown. A gang of rebels thriving in a twilight world of Midnight Horror Shows, Drag Strips, Go-Go Theatres, Dive Bars and Teenage Delinquency; electro-shock to life a Frankenstein's Creature of brutal noise they call The Deformities.
Tension is their ally. No newcomer to a Deformities show knows what to expect from the upcoming chaos on stage. Eardrum shattering sonic rebellion silences their questions and builds up their fears. The bruised up lads on a nightly basis work their crowds into a feeding frenzy of fists, elbows, spikes, chains, leather, sweat and blood. Their attack consists of a thundering blitz of big beat and thrash on the drums; blistering fast guitars sounding like Chuck Berry and Link Wray had a violent run in with Johnny Ramone, bolstered by throbbing bass-lines, boosting the sexual adrenaline, while the whole sound is topped off with the hiccups, croons, yelps and howls of a real gone mad front man. The chaos ensues through the whole set as anthems of knife fights, loose women, and murder with multiple allusions to the walking dead conflagrate the air and even the most timid listener can’t help but answer to the hellish call to act.
This writing is ever important if you are to consider setting up a show with The Deformities. Most mediums will warn you with slogans like “board up your windows, lock your doors, hide your daughters and wives” but where is the fun in that? Welcome The Deformities just as you would welcome the end if a radiation bomb went off in your neighborhood, crack open a beer and enjoy the show.
dood, your guyses last show was amazing, ima miss the old deformities, but am looking forward to hear you guys play again, when you get the new members! Whats Bo's new band gonna be called?

I will soon institute my own dicktastership.
Attention Shoppers: There has been a line-up change. Mr.
Marco's fabulous V7 will be opening the show in the place of the Black Whiteys
Hey guys! A couple of weeks ago GaragePunk.com endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. This video by Larry Lessig (founder of Creative Commons and a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on c0pyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum) does a great job of explaining the important differences between Obama and Clinton, so please watch it. We hope you will agree with us and support Barack Obama in the Nebraska Caucus on Saturday February 9.
Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton for 20+ years is not change. Real change will come with Obama. Can we initiate that change? Yes We Can!
