The Rusty Thorns is neither a word nor a concept, it is a band that has been forming for years within each and every one of us, but was finally realized on the night of January 11, 2008.
The band consists of three humans.
This is NOT your grandpa's Mediterranean Grunge, to say the least.
The band strictly adheres to THE 8 COMMANDMENTS in order to maintain musical and political purity (NOTE: commandments subject to change if general society begins to catch on)
EVERY SONG MUST:
1. explicitly counteract the SOCIAL CONSTRUCTS of government, big business, 'the MAN’ and any of his affiliates. Subtlety is for the WEAK and the submissive to the SYSTEM.
2. be WRITTEN and RECORDED in its entirety within the first 45 minutes of CONCEPTION. Our thoughts can only avoid the CONSTRAINTS of society for so long until we too fall victim to the frighteningly inevitable thoughts of CONSUMERISM beyond the 45-minute mark.
3. feature STEFAN on the Bouzouki and bass drum, singing only in the bridge and the final chorus, TROY playing snare drum and singing, and DEVIN singing and, only occasionally, playing the SHAKER.
4. begin with the CHORUS so that our TRUTH will be brought to you as quickly as POSSIBLE before the man can GOUGE out your ears and keep you under his CONTROL.
5. be 3 minutes or LESS in duration so that our message SPEAKS to even our potential brethren who have become SLAVES to the instant-GRATIFICATION lifestyle.
6. always be done with at least one member wearing FLANNEL during the recording.
7. include an UNPLEASANT vocal solo to prevent the MAN from playing it on his “FREE” radio networks and honing it for his own TWISTED causes.
8. be a VEHICLE for change. Preferably a HYBRID or a LOW EMISSIONS vehicle, hopefully NOT an SUV… and DEFINITELY not a MINIVAN.
Respect! Very very cool stuff you have going on here. Love your myspace. Like it like it liiiiike it. Great taste and what flavour. Thanks for the add and your interest. I thought you might like to know that I have posted new videos for new fusion mixes. One that has just gone up is a radical combo of Rihanna with a dollop of Peter, Bjorn and John. Rebooted, filtered, animated, shaken, cut, pasted and smashed with a great hammer, deconstructed and turned into Young Folks with Umbrella. Another newey mixes Coldplay and Kraftwerk and if that's not enough there's a new tune called Scooby Mama which moulds Fun Lovin Criminals to a Scissor Sisters. There's more fusion mix foolishness on the myspace which is being updated with new tunes and vids regularly. Thanks again for the add and your interest. Love and Peace. Sex Dwarf. And remember...don't do genre.

Recent tragedy here in Omaha struck us hard as we have had enormous personal loss from the shooting&other recent events. We are deeply saddened by the loss of lives of good people and a sad young man who was unable to find his way. As a juvenile attorney and nurse,we have saved some and lost others.We do well as a community to pull together and I truly believe the future will be bright.. We wrote a song. It's simple and we offer it to our friends. "One Last Song." is at myspace. Please take time to go there and listen. Love and Peace
