briangorsegner Posted September 23, 2010 Share Posted September 23, 2010 Night Birds 3rd 7" is all done and coming soon... The "Midnight Movies" ep is four new songs of fast, reverbed out, surfy punk. Maybe a bit ballsier than our first 2 records? You'll have to decide that for yourself. We are really happy with the way everything about this record came out. No Way Records out of Richmond will be releasing this in late October, in time for Halloween and for us to do a few shows on our way down to Florida for the 9th Gainesville Fest. On this record we pay homage to the filthy, gritty, low budget films specifically of the horror, bizarre, and beyond genres. The punk rock of films, if you will. The B side was inspired by the work of, and is dedicated to Frank Henenlotter, New York screenwriter and director behind such films as Basket Case (1-3), Brain Damage, Frankenhooker, Bad Biology, and more. Frank was even cool enough to let us go up on his roof with one of his decaying 1980s movie prop monsters (Belial of Basket Case fame for those familiar) and take a picture for the back cover. And the front cover was everything we knew it would be when we asked Mike Diana to take on the cover art duties, and we couldn't be more fucking happy with the way it turned out! If you're unfamiliar with Mike Diana he is an underground cartoonist who became the first artist ever to receive a criminal conviction for obscenity in the United States. Check out his website, www.mikedianacomix.com... here is a brief summary of his story from his website... "In 1994, underground cartoonist Mike Diana was thrown in jail for 4 days without bail on obscenity charges, for publishing, advertising, and selling his zine BOILED ANGEL. Mike was on probation for 3 years, terms included fines of $3000, no contact with minors, 1280 hours of community service, maintain full time employment, and at his expense, see a psychiatrist and take journalism courses at his own expense; AND no drawing for his own personal use... his home was subject to unannounced searches by local police to make sure he was complying." Here is Bad Biology off the new record. Do yourself a favor and check out the movie, Bad Biology as well. Lots of other stuff going on and in the works, but this is a good place to start. Thanks for reading.

apeman Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Did Mike Diana do any kind of sleeve artwork between this and the Iron Monkey album? I usually like his images better when in color, but this looks pretty damn sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
