   About The Extraordinaires




All the Newest New News


  • Hello All! We have returned from our latest coast to coast tour and want to thank everyone that helped us along the way! The new album is getting great reviews and we are already taking a look at our calendar for the Fall semester. There are quite a few things we're looking forward to, including a week long tour with Deertick playing as the back-up band for the one and only Jonny Corndawg! Here is a list of our upcoming dates: *=Acoustique Duo Show
  • Sept. 5th - Show at Trinity College in Connecticut*
  • Sept. 7th-12th - Jonny Corndawg (backing band) tour with Deertick
  • Sept. 20th - Show with Fanfarlo at Kung Fu Necktie (get tickets fast!)
  • Oct. 24th - Show at PILAM in W. Philly w/ Raquellos!*
  • Oct. 25th - Radio Show on WXPN!

    More to come as always!


  • 'Electric and Benevolent' is an abstract biography of a turn of the century genius, told over ten tracks of recorded music. As with our previous albums it is delivered in a hand crafted hardcover book. The format of the new book has been altered to convey a hand-written journal that includes freestyle calligraphy, pen and ink illustrations, and hand silk-screened fabric covers.

    Be sure to look at our dates, and don't hesitate to contact us if you'd like us to come to your area, on this tour or the next!

    Out now on He Of The House Media

    HOTHCOMP001
    We'll Leave the Lights On


    He Of The House's very first (of many) compilation. Nineteen tracks from twenty artists, the end result of which is possibly one of the most diverse compilations I've ever heard. From soft spoken acoustic folk to raving, churning dirge tunes; from a noisy, industrial cover of a Sonic Youth song to oldschool punk from when it was still raw, fast, and unforgiving. Powerviolence peppers the grounds where spooked whispers whinny along, and the caustic words of a madman festering in his own mind play out over perpetually plucked guitar strings. A true honour it is to work with these amazing artists, and I do hope we can keep them coming back for years.

    Featuring: Zombie Battle Axe, xHaroldShitmanx, Kro & Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Nemesism, Ginny Greenteeth, Don't Move, Spiral Vertigo, Chachi On Acid, Mike Bruno, Autopia, Dead Kid Harvester, Jason "EVIL" Covelli, Karmakumulator, Chelsea Wolfe, RedSK vs. teh soup rebellion, Torturing Nurse, Sleepers, Flea McGruff

    Housed in handmade & handpainted paper jackets with individually original black tissue cutouts, enclosed with a button. Featuring full page insert artwork by Jason "EVIL" Covelli and a blurb about each band/artist from myself.
    Limited to 45 handnumbered copies.

    For more information, tracklisting, artwork, and information on future compilations, as well as a wealth of other fun tidbits, visit
    heofthehouse.com
    heofthehouse.com/compilation

    To order this compilation for only $8 (prices vary for out of country shipping), visit

    Good people! 
    Jacksonville is currently working on great things.
    Mister Helios Eye and myself are on a local label making waves. 
    Come back to us someday with your wonderful sounds. If not...maybe we will meet on tour someday and share many drinks and stories.
