NO PART OF IT: 2009

The initial idea for this project started with a brass group on April Fool's Day that just did reverb-laden drones. Other ideas presented themselves from there on. Later, various incarnations of the Mister Fuckhead Ensemble, Mister Fuckhead & Friends etc. incorporated junk metal scrape, chains, vacuums, glass, drills, guitar, keyboards, field recordings, classical samples, and tape loops. "c93" is a live document of more than 6 performances from the last 2 years or so; edited, and revitalized.

Contributors featured are travis (ONO), Daniel Burke (Illusion of Safety), Michael Kendrick (Lovely Little Girls, ex-Rope, Redemer, etc), Mike Krause (Death Factory), Dave Purdie (Silver Abuse, Satan2000), Richard Syska (Dummy Antenna), Andy Ortmann (Panicsville), Bruce Lamont (Yakuza), Right-Eye Rita, Brian Klein, Christopher ILTH (Daily Void, ex-Functional Blackouts), Alejandro Morales (PISSPISSPISSMOANMOANMOAN), Rik Garrett, Rupert Glimm, Bobby Danger (Black Bear Combo), and Allison Lake (Pommel).

The accompanying visual matter was made with only the intention of framing the work, I had no desire to try to place any kind of artful sheath over this collection or its contributors. It's been in my mind for the entire time to use pen & ink splatter and a few other elements, so naturally the end result is an edition of 33 with hand made inserts/labels and handwritten credits (samples below). There are 3 red tinted c33 Type II High Bias tapes in a white cassette album and it comes with a 4x6 photo from the aftermath of one of our performances. Fountain pen ink has been the main tool used, on varied sketch paper. I grappled with the idea of selling this item at all since I've got so many... um ...royalties to give out and I've become attached to some of them. Never-the-less, 9 of the 33 are available for $18 postage paid everywhere. C'est La Guerre. First come first served.

There is also a solid red c93 in an edition of 93, containing the same material with two sided, perforated, black and white J cards based off of the handmade work; black and white labels, red norelco cases, printed credits. Covers vary. There will be a small amount available with hand written/drawn/made covers & labels. $6 US, $8 World.

All orders will be shipped within 3 business days between 2 pieces of cardboard, inside a padded envelope.
