pageninetynine - the discography

"punk rock should mean freedom. liking and accepting anything that you like. playing whatever you want, as sloppy as you want. as long as it’s good and it has passion." -kurt cobain

 that quote is used at the beginning of the very first pg99 song i'd ever heard...and it couldn't describe them any better

the song is "in love with an apparition" (but it was mislabeled as "your face is a rape scene"...a title the band took a lot of flack for)

i got into them after they'd already broken up (1998-2003) through the wonderland that was mp3.com (remember that site?...when i'd read about it getting bought out and being turned into something "better" i pillaged it for all it's worth...it was the only record store that i could make it to at the time...the town i was living in was pretty small...and the idea of "punk rock" was wearing baggy pants and listening to my chemical romance while falling off of your skateboard...i was an anomaly in those parts)

but i'm getting off track...YOU DAMN KIDS GET OFF MY LAWN! TELL ME WHEN MY SOUPS DONE! MY STORIES ARE ON!

i once had a dvd that i'd ordered that had live performances of circle takes the square...pageninetynine (and if i remember correctly...city of caterpillar and majority rule)...and the stuff that was filmed for the pg99 part looked as if it had taken place in a closet...the band (which went from anywhere between 6-14 members) crammed into a corner surrounded by what looked like fifty people...and it just looked so sweaty and intense (as all good things should be)

and they'd been tagged as "screamo"...but they were so much more than that

and i dig the way they'd title their albums as documents...as a way to remember an event...and that's just what these guys were and their singer's (chris taylor) artwork makes a pretty bad ass tattoo

well...enough with the words...you'd think that i was dating the entire band

they have links to such bands as city of caterpillar (bassist kevin longendyke/bassist brandon evans/drummer johnny ward)...malady (vocalist chris taylor/bass player kevin longendyke/drummer johnny ward/guitarist johnathan moore)...mannequin (vocalist chris taylor/guitarist mike taylor)...pygmy lush (vocalist chris taylor/drummer johnny ward/guitarist mike taylor)...haram (guitarist mike taylor/bassist kevin longendyke)...and hissing choir (vocalist chris taylor plays bass)

and now....the music

dysrhythmia - pretest

label: relapse
released: 2003

hey...you there...in the don caballero t-shirt...yeah...

i'd like to tell you about a band called dysrhythmia

i saw this trio from philadelphia at a tiny club in ybor city,fl back in 2003...at a place called the orpheum...they were part of the relapse records CONTAMINATION tour...it was them and mastodon and cephalic carnage (i'm assuming that most of you have heard of those bands)...they opened the show...the only song i knew by them was called "bastard"...i'd heard it on a relapse sampler...and i was totally impressed with their thick bass sound...and then when i'd laid eyes on the actual bass...maaaan...it was the biggest bass i'd ever seen (at the time)...turns out it's called a warr bass (google image it,bro)...anyway...yeah...they weren't on stage for very long...maybe about a half hour...and the next day i'd actually found a music store that had the album...turns out steve albini recorded the it...

as for the rest of that night...mastodon played "mother puncher" and "march of the fire ants"...which got me stoked...and it was awesome seeing drummer brann dailor do his business a mere 6 feet in front of me....and it was awesome seeing 2/3 of IN THE EYES OF GOD-era today is the day....

as for seeing cephalic carnage...i was almost decapitated by the guitar player's guitar as he was whipping it all over the place...

over all...a pretty decent night...i don't remember missing anything important on tv....

so...yeah...you like don caballero...and i'm assuming that you like slint and the fucking champs....

and have you ever found yourself wondering what the jesus lizard would sound like without david yow?

well...thanks for taking the time to stand there and listen to me

and i can see by the "reading material" wrapped in a brown paper bag...you have somewhere that you need to be....

coliseum/doomriders - not of this world

label: level plane records
released: 2005

in keeping with the spirit of the posting of the coliseum split found down yonder....

this has them teaming up with the band doomriders (which is made up of members of converge and there were wires and cast iron hike and disappearer)

they tackle some danzig songs along with some of their own material

coliseum do "am i demon"

doomriders do "possession"

and now i suggest that you snag this up before you get knocked out by an overweight guy in a tight t-shirt

and yes...that could be any one of us here at the SGM
