Kilboy Fuckbot Lost Recordings
Hollow Earth Radio recently acquired four old analog Reel to Reel machines and about a thousand old recordings from a nice fellow on craigslist giving away his entire collection. At the same time, Dj Jake who does Salt of The Earth (on Wednesday evenings here on Hollow Earth Radio) gave me all of the old Kilboy Fukbot recordings he personally owned, including a whole slew of reels that were otherwise forgotten.
I am now in a moral quandry, trying not to eat away my life digitizing all of this sound (I’ve limited myself to just one a night). Recently I’ve been in the mood to dig through these old Arcata recordings done by my friends under a whole slew of ridiculous band names (The Boont Dusties, Kilboy Fuckbot, Kill Your Darlings, Fucktopia, the Panda Tears, etc.) here are three I’ve made available for download.
These are all recordings of Kilboy Fuckbot, a rotating lineup of friends who just wanted to rock out and not worry too much about actual song structure. A lot of this is inebriated and hard to listen to, but it’s ever so nostalgic for me. After someone saw us play in an old victorian it was rumored that they said of the band “It’s a lot more fun to be in a noise band then to listen to a noise band”. That’s probably true.
Here are three recordings for your perusal:
1. Ryan Pintar giving a speech on Kilboy Fukbot music theory.
2. Song sung by Jenny B, about strungout drug addicts.
3. Kilboy Fukbot, live in my bedroom with me totally drunk and screaming ridiculous lyrics and putting the mic right up to the amp a lot.
