A brief analysis of the band’s live performance, with footnotes. By Brian Foster Wallace Two live recordings exist of Houston, TX, math blues glue-sniffers Fatal Flying Guilloteens that encapsulate the raucous five-piece fuck up’s shows rather succinctly. One was captured in the early aughts at Bellingham, Washington’s storied 3B Tavern. “Apparently, if a Bellingham crowd likes the band, they throw beer on them,” singer/shit-stirrer Shawn Adolph says to the assembled crowd. “Please throw a lot of beer on us.” What you hear next is the band ripping into a song that sounds like Jesus Lizard being teabagged by Lightning Hopkins ...

CLICK HERE TO SIGN the Petition to Reverse Houston’s Sound Ordinance. We cannot stress how direly important it is that you support Houston’s local music scene by signing the petition to reverse our city’s new sound ordinance.

One venue owner has already been arrested and several others have been issued the maximum fine of $1000 with no verifiable evidence of ... Read More »

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHO YOU ARE. Free Press Houston and Pegstar.net Presents are honored to announce another stupendous year of music, art and unbridled joy this June 2nd and 3rd at Free Press Summer Fest. In anticipation of our lineup release, our staff has spent the last 6 weeks enduring a brutal physical-training regimen consisting of high intensity intervals, negative rep weight lifting, hot yoga, and total abstinence from worldly pleasures. All the while, they have subsisted on a simple diet of rice milk, figs, and Rudyard’s cheeseburgers. Without struggle there can be no progress. This year we are ... Read More »
