About Me |
|
| Sometime in 2005, driven by inactivity in their current bands and a number of drug-fueled, late-night phone conversations, Xtian from SF's Bottles and Skulls and Johnny from Oakland's Fleshies began collaborating on some new music. Undaunted at first by the lack of a rhythm section, the duo amassed a bulk of pretty/ugly Tenderloin-district acid rock recorded on an obsolete Tascam 4-track over the course of several months. After finishing a tape with echo-laden-yet-visceral guitars/drums, vocals through half-broken solid state amps with phaser explosion, and both dudes attacking noise pedals/tape loops/randomly modified guitars, they began to realize the band was more than a little bit limited by the lack of a rhythm section. Having little luck in plying their native punk scene for people who could stomach the racket they had developed, they randomly responded to a Craigslist ad and struck unlikely gold in a spastic drummer named Phil from SF's Lower Forty-Eight. Soon after, in Jan. '06, they called out to megaveteran bass player Larry of Victim’s Family/Hellworms/Saturn’s Flea Collar fame and Triclops! was born.
By August 2006, they recorded the Cafeteria Brutalia E.P. for reknowned Chicago indie label SickRoom Records , which was released on February 6th, 2007 (12" Picture Disc available on Missing Finger Records ). They have recently finished recording (with Melvins' engineer Kurt Schlagel) their debut full-length for a yet-to-be-determined independent label, and are planning on releasing a picture disc 7" with the awesome independent Gold Standard Labs , scheduled for release in early Fall 2007. Triclops! also played the Gold Standard Labs showcase at SXSW on March 17, 2007 for way too many people at Emo's in Austin, along with touring partners/soulmates 400 Blows and Qui (with vocalist David Yow of Jesus Lizard).
