About me: Hi. My name is Bill. People call me Joe. I'm so insane, I'M SANE!!!!!
Toxic Ranch Records started out as a little place in Death Valley, USA . Charlie Manson used to come by every now and then to sell us some emu eggs, pyrite and GG Allin memorabilia. Told us if we ever made it out to Tucson to look up his cousin Smitty. Not sure what happened to that poor fella. Boy, those were the days.
We moved to Pomona and started selling yahoos and slankies just to try to support our punk habit. People loved us so much there, we decided to make the big move to Tucson, Alabama as we were creating such a ruckus. Little did we know there was no Tucson Alabama and we had to backtrack by way of New Orleans just to get to the desert oasis of Tucson Arizona, which is where we live today in all our glory. When we're not picking scorpion poo out of our ears, we're setting our heads on fire just to spite ourselves cuz it's so hot. It's great here.
Please buy a yahoo or a toodle putt so we can buy some ice for our piss-ovens in the summertime where the heat can climb up to 237 degrees Farenheit.
Thanky!
for the long version, see terror of history

Feel free to call ahead for directions or holiday hours.
Repeat after me. Myspace is not real life! Come down and root through our bins. It's possibly more fun than staring at a computer screen or plugging an earpiece from your ipod into your ear canal!
****** HEY GOTH/CHRISTIAN and/or "EMO" BANDS- DON'T ADD US, IN FACT- PLEASE BREAK UP.
****** We usually don't add anyone with "MC" or "OG" or "DJ" preceeding their name. If you are trying to be ironic, get over it. If you are serious, go find others like yourself. Same for reggae, new country, nu-metal, commercial heavy metal,gangsta rap and hip hop bands. No offense, it's just not what we are into.
******If you post a flyer for a show that is not in Tucson, it will be deleted.
******If you post an ad for your band or label and you are not in Tucson it may be deleted.
