01/26/04 Do you fuckers wanna hear some really crazy shit? I mean, like, out of a fucking comic book or something? Really wild. Alright, well here it goes.
So last week we're at practice. Minding our own business and playing that awful trash we call music. These guys Keith and Mike were hanging out in the practice room with us down at Lennon...at one point, Keith gets up while we're playing a song, and sticks his head out the door, as though he's talking to someone. When we finished playing he goes "There are some people here who want to talk to you." We're thinking "Uh...ok."
Standing in the doorway were these three asian people, whom none of us knew. Naturally we asked "Uh...can I help you?" One of the guys (there were two guys and a woman) says in a heavily accented voice "We were just walking by the room, and we heard you playing! We've come all the way from Tokyo, and we were wondering, could we video tape you guys playing a song?" We think, "Shit, if you all came all the way from Japan, and instead of seeing the wonders of San Francisco, you'd rather watch a shitty grind band make noise, let it never be said that we won't oblige." So we played a song for them, and they applauded and then the one dude says "That was very good! Would you mind if I give you my business card?" Turns out that they're from some kind of promotion company or something called Omnibus and they were in town auditioning R&B singers, but they heard us, and felt that we might be exploitable for profit! Well, needless to say we almost shit our pants. In America, we can clear out rooms in, oh, under 15 seconds. But in Japan, we're gonna be FUCKING ROCK STARS!!!!
Now, don't get us wrong. Not only does shit like this not happen to us, but it doesn't happen to anyone. We are quite sure that nothing will come of this, but man, fuckin' tell me that ain't some crazy shit. ~ Population Reduction
01/17/04 Well, it is official...Population Reduction has a mailing address! See the contact pagefor the address and the email contact information. We look forward to actually getting stuff in it in the near future.
Other than that, things are beginning to shape up 'round these parts. We have some potential shows lined up for February, so keep an eye on the show page for the glorious day when there is actually something on it...very soon now, we can feel it. Also, since we finally have the P.O. Box, the ordering info for the CDs and DVDs should (that's SHOULD) be up sometime within the week. We've also got the Magrudergrind split coming soon, and a potential split with Bay Area locals Dissonance (not the band who would become Repulsion, although that would fucking rule), so look out for all that shit. What's going on now, you ask? Are we going to get thai food? You're damn right we are. ~ Population Reduction
01/12/04 Hello, loyal viewer. Well, here's what's new...or not so new. Firstly, we are still looking for a bass player/vocalist. Are you a bass player/vocalist? Well then what the fuck are you waiting for?!?! Drop us a line via the email address on the contact page and we'd be happier than a smack fiend at the methedone clinic. All applicants considered, no fascists.
Ya like how we made that little "email here" thing a link, eh? Looks like we're slowly beginning to get the hang of this html thing. Anyway, as was already stated, we now not only have the mp3's up on the discography page (oh, lovin' it, man), but we also have two video clips from different shows, with different vocalists...because we are high tech like that. Take them please. Also, the Post Office still hasn't gotten back to us about a PO box, so we may have to find an alternate ordering method for the time being. Keep an eye out for all kinds of neat things...including that recepies page we promised ya. ~ Population Reduction
01/03/04 HA HAHAHAHAHAH!!!! FUCKERS!!! You shits really thought we were fuckin' around, didn't ya? Go on, admit it. Well, fucking BEHOLD!!! There, on the much touted discography page, you will find none other than the live video clips that you were really beginning to think would never show. Well, we're drunk, and we made it happen, so who's laughing now, fuckers!
Sorry. We're smashed. We think you're the best. ~ Population Reduction
