OVO (italia / Load Records) (listen to Mammut) Milan, Italy's Ovo are a two piece using guitar/violin cellos and drums that dump a toxic sludge with an unmistakable butterscotch scent. This sludge is in line with contemperous doom salesmen such as BORIS and the MELVINS, with the addition of vox stylings that take this record to a new place entirely. The sounds coming from Stephania Pedretti's mouth as she sings go from lullaby sweet to terrifyingly raw in short intervals.

"ADVENTURES IN ILLEGAL ART: CREATIVE MEDIA RESISTANCE AND NEGATIVLAND"
A 90-minute film and storytelling presentation by Mark Hosler, founding member of Negativland, with Q and A to follow. No lawyers were harmed in the making of this event!
Pranks, media hoaxes, media literacy, the art of collage, creative activism in a media saturated multi-national world, file sharing, intellectual property issues, evolving notions of art and ownership and law in a digital age, artistic and funny critiques of mass media and culture, so-called "culture jamming" (a term coined by Negativland way back in 1984).... even if you've never heard of Negativland, if you are interested in any of these issues you're sure to find this funny and inspiring presentation worth your time and attention. Is Negativland a "band"? Media hoaxers? Activists? Musicians? Filmmakers? Culture jammers? An inspiration for the unwashed many? A nuisance for the corporate few? Decide for yourself in this presentation that uses films and stories to illustrate the many creative projects, hoaxes, pranks and "culture jamming" that Negativland has been doing since 1980. Most famous for getting sued for their "U2" single, Negativland have had 25 years of fun being a thorn in the side of the corporate media and entertainment biz. They've released a gazillion CDs, do occasional tours, make little movies, and were the subject of San Francisco filmmaker Craig Baldwin's 1995 feature film "SONIC OUTLAWS".

wednesday 8.22.01 - Murat's Corner Graveyard Home - Austin, TX
I believe this is the first show ever played under the name of Projexorcism - however since this show was "organized" about 15 minutes after our arrival it wasn't quite advertised as such. Anyway we were on the ABQ flyer as Projexorcism. Anyway this was a fun show - there was a kegerator on the front porch of this house facing a monster graveyard and a corner crack house. Denizens of Austin showed us love.
But a neighbor called us assholes for playing until 8am, well after the sun had come up and film could only be heard, not seen. Ok, point taken.

thursday 4.18.02 Ted & Wally's Ice Cream Parlor - Omaha, NB
with The Naturaliste
We pull into town after a long boring ass drive across Colorado and Nabraska.The 1st thing we see is a crack deal so we knew the club was near.
To our disbelief it wasn't. The show was at an ice cream parlor, so we played to a bunch of girls licking ice cream cones while we played...for real YO! The show was a rock'n roll mother fucker. The naturalist started it off with a wall of noise, Lonnie defilled his violin in such away that I almost
called the cops and reported a sex crime...We loved it!
friday 4.19.02 - The PoP Up House - Grand Junction, CO
with Samsara
After a Long beautiful drive We get into town the 1st thing we see is Million Dollar homes, we new the club was nowhere near yet! We get to the Pop up House and were greated by a bunch of people who helped us bring in our gear...for real Yo! The other band was set up and ready to play.Chris has his shit together! The 1st band, Samsara was fucking great! It was a beautiful thing to see such young dudes who get it! They were a blend of ambient/jazz/noise they just started this project and I hope they keep at it because it really was great. We tried to encoraged them like a drunk uncle would.
We went on we blew our brains out while projexorcism people in a trance except this time the cops came and broke every thing up and made everyone leave but not before people clapped and bought stuff...KC had an after party and treated us great, we had to leave early to go back to where we
stayed..leaven the party sucked because there was girls there... not that any of them talked to us but it was neat! We are dorks! Chris is the man he treated us great and took care of us, everyone should be so lucky to be hosted by a culb as we were at the Pop up House!
wednesday 4.24.02 - The Starlight - Fort Collins, CO
We played w/ a local band called PSYCHOTROPIC not that it helped the draw. By the Name of the band you should be able to tell they were Hardcore.The hair and the over play'n made for a true hardcore show..they rocked we Loved it. We got loaded ran into some old friends which made for a great time and a great show. This show for sure it brought closure to our short life in Ft.Collins it was fun! It's just too pretty to live in Ft. Collins for us dirty jersey boys. Philly here we come!
thursday 4.25.02 - Linoleum - Denver, CO
with Laundry Room Squelchers, Xela Zaid, Plutonium Pie, Page 27
We get off the exit and pass Coor's Field and various creepy crawlies and arrived at Linoleum,a great art space, right across from a liquor store (so you know its good) on Laramie.. Luke has got it going on there - various local artists had their works on display, it deserves your unconditional support. Three of the other four bands were there already in a mini-van smaller than ours - The Laundry Room Squelchers , Plutonium Pie , and Xela Zaid - they started their tour at Churchills in Miami a weeks ago. Meanwhile, we were all wondering where the hell Ed Wilcox was, last we had heard from him he was 4 or 5 hours out of Denver hurtling non-stop out of Philadelphia, to join us for a few shows.... Page 27, opened the show -. main members John Gross and John Russmen were joined by 2 additional members tweaking out various modified electronic gadgets, . This was all accompanied by twisted self-produced video work shown on a 13" television. This wall of noise was a perfect way to start the evening. During the final moments of Page 27's set, Ed Wilcox shows up sleep deprived and speeding ticket in hand,ready to rock and roll Philly style. We set up and played a very ambient set which may have changed the face of Bink forever. This was one of those legendary shows you plan on telling your grandkids about. Xela Zaid played guitar and sang while Rat Bastard made some crazy sounds on the Neckless Guitar and saxophone. Next up Plutonium Pie if talk softly and carry a big stick means anything, they talk very softly and carry a Real big fucking stick! J, Lucy, and Max are some right on cats and I am not say'n that just because all 3 of them sleep in my sleeping bag.I hope all the meds I gave you Max helped!! Yeah a whole band fit in my sleeping bag, what of it? The Laundry Room Squelchers were on next, which is a Miami Vice Noise Machine driven on a revoked licence by Rat Bastard. After the smoke cleared we all went back to Berthoud for hot chocolate and cotton candy.
friday 4.26.02 - Industrial Nation - Colorado Springs, CO
with The Gehenian Scientist, Voxinst
We played Industrial Nation, Sherrie the owner was very nice however we did not have much time to talk because she was chasing gas huffing crackheads out of her parking lot. The local band The Gehennian Scientist started the show off, playing their set sent us into a gothic industrial time warp. It was fuckin great! Voxinst from Denver followed up with a gripping performance, this 3 piece blended laptop electronica, squeally sliding guitar and sexy vocals into a great show. Body of Binky played their second show with the legendary Ed Wilcox of Temple of Bon Matin. We all got lost in the ensuing swirl of sound and film. The video screen at the club was showing Akira which complemented the 16mm film stuff. The audience must have been lured into a trance due to the amount of merch we pimped. Our new friends Brett, Chris and Murph partied down with us and let us crash at their place. We were intoxicated on more than altitude.
sunday 4.28.02 - The Green House - Amarillo, TX
We get into town and get lost, fuck mapquest we call and then we realise that we are 1 hour late because of the time change. We pull up to a shit load of punkers hanging out side of the Green House, where immediately Ed feels the deepest pangs of guilt and regret for not having charged the camcorder and snatching up some more videotapes to document the show (sorry, no damn pictures for this day - bummer). We missed the 1st band but we heard that they were a christian Rock band and that racked so hard that Jesus himself was bang'n his head and throwin' up his horns. The next band was from the ATL, that's Atlanta and dem boys played some of the coldest hardcore shit I ever heard. I think they played like 20 songs in like 30 mins, some bad ass shiznit! So after 2 hardcore bands one down for jesus and one down for the devil we are up. Coop starts projecting up on somebody's bunk bed projecting onto the wall 8 feet away and we start to play and after all these hardcore mutha fuckers were in such a rage we go on and rip them back from this point of fury that the other 2 bands put them in and slam them in to some kinda of sound trance I guess because they stuck around for the whole show and bought shit. Keith and the the Green House wreck'n crew are Some fuck'n cool ass mo fo's who know how to put on a show so make sure you stop and play there they will do you right! After the show we met up with another cool fucker Karl from Hubrist he took us over to Rick Dicculous of Lava Tone studio where we found out that Rick is doing some cool shit, we need to hook up w/ this guy next time.Once again We had a fucking great time in Amarillo and I am glad because what happends next fucking sucks. We needed to get back to Albuquerque as early as we could because we had alot of shit to do, so we drove that night. Along the way we decided to catch some z's and ended up sleeping later than we wanted, but what happend next has threw us into a pit of depression! Ed and Vin are following in Ed's car and Ed and me are in the Van (for the record I wasn't drivin') Ed wakes me up "John does that look like alot of smoke?" I say " no dude that is alot of smoke" there was a rest stop right there so we hurry and pull off and look under the van and there is smoke and what we thought at the time was oil because the fluid was so black. After we let the van cool down we decided since we were in the middle of nowhere that we would chance try'n to make it back to nobody's. We knew we where Fucked! We crept back into town and took the van to a zip lube, he confirmed we were fucked! He said it was the trans that was blowing fluid and it looked to him that it was the tranny seals...Sad times...We went back to Pauli's place (we parked next to her New matrix) and decided to call a transmission place in the morning.
-----------------------------------
monday 4.29.02 - Field & Frame - Albuquerque, NM
with The Somnabulist (Psychic TV's Scott Nobody)
Thanks to Cooper and his Basement film crew they let us play at field and frame after hearing that our show at Burt's was canceled do to the fact they closed down out of the blue. We met Allen the owner who is a super Cool Cat.. I belive looking at Allen then looking at Ed then looking at Allen again I realised that I was looking at Ed's Mr Meogi or his Yoda. Allen had everything Ed could ever hope to have. Ed meeting Allen I think made Ed believe even more in the game. "Projections not on flat wall in front of you Projection, are up here in head". The show started off w/ some kinda ritual where Me Myself and I became one with Nobody in a live performance of a piercing of the Somnabulist Doll (in stores everywhere). Next up was me. I treated everyone to a semi-nude show as I dropped my overalls for the bloodlet (sorry to all the lady's that I made sex hot). While this was going on Vin was talking to our good old friends Ranada and Jacqui whom we owe all of our Albq. experiences to since they were the 1st to let us play Insurgo. Thank you my lovely ladies we are forever grateful. At some point jac came in Ranada pee'd out side and Somnabulist went on. After A full day of hearing Wimpo tell me she stinks and she is going to run off stage because she was scared she got up there and ripped on that bass of her's. Only after 3 songs Nobody's gutar went out, I didn't get it at the time but after seeing the video back I realise that them standing there while skip tried to fix his axe was a part of the show, that has not been confirmed yet but I have a funny fealing the joke was on us, If you know Nobody then you know that only Nobody could do something like that and pull it off and even if he didnt mean to and the guitar really was broke the mere fact that I even think that it was all a part of their set makes it 10x better and that Paul and Wimpo would be the perfect cast to pull off whatever they did and they did. Next up was Body of Binky w/ Ed Wilcox (Temple of Bon Matin) and Scott Nobody (Psychic TV and Somnabulist). Wow I was hope'n this show would be what it was and it was. This all star binky lineup was the greatest yet I hope I can get Scott and Ed to play with Us on every show. Copy of the show will be available on CDrom or Vhs. I don't know how to explain how great the show was for Vin and I other then that it felt like we were a part of something great that night.. and we were (and you can be too just send your address on a 3x5 index card along w/ $10 and you yes you can enjoy that night every night either on cd rom of vhs). After the show We went back to the wimpo commune where she and Nobody began to toss back a lot of sky vodka we shortly thereafter joined in, that is after we gave mad props to Allen for let'n us play his space. We partied down like it was some date in earth year time (by this point I lost alot of blood). Soon as skip got done blending our drinks Pauli was drink'n them. Marcos, Cindy and Keith stopped in and partook in on the partaking because even though I likes to get Biz zay I like to par tay and gets down... yeah.. WELL FUCK this is where the rest of the shit crashed and burned. We woke up took it to a tranny place it was the seals and no one would just fix the seal w/ out rebuilding the whole tranny since there was so many miles on it. Our choice was $1500 or try to keep put'n tranny fluid in and hope to make it home. No one had $1500 and even if we did no one could take us till friday the 3rd and would not get the van back til the 6th so we had to Fucking call and cancel the rest of the fucking tour. For all the people out there who think it's hard to book a tour try and cancel one and see much harder that shit is. We crept back into the berthoud compound some how we made it here! Vin is going to try to make to H town where he has to drop off Ed Then trek back up to NJ all on this bum trans! Don't tell anyone about the tran as Vin is going to trade the Van in for some small RV... we already looked at some. This fucking blows. To all who we had to cancel sorry, but I know you all know how this goes and I think you all have even been in our shoes! For all that we played to, thanks for buy'n stuff and clap'n.. For all who put us up along the way a big thanks for let'n us invade your life for a short time or a long time depending on how you perceived our stay. To all the bands we played with keep hope alive... yeah to all the mother fuckers who dont how to make trasmissions fuck'n suck it! We may have lost this battle but We will win the war on drugs. SELF MEDICATE...adiggy doo..

Shows That Never Were
saturday 6.25.05 - The Can Company - Roanoke, VA
"The word disaster has been characterized as " an unfortunate combination of events that, had they happened singly, would not have
resulted in a disaster". A series of events that I see combining at (the Can Company) are:
1) The start of demolition on-site that you had indicated to me would start after 6/30/2005.
2) Exit and emergency lights not functioning properly.
3) Closing in of a doorway and installation of an unauthorized door and hardware.
4) Apparently moving of an electrical panel without the required permit and inspection.
5) Removal of an exterior wall and temporary shoring up of the roof.
6) No guardrails and separation only by a temporary construction fence.
7) Potential for damage to the sprinkler system during demolition.
The conditions on-site create an unsafe condition for the type events that your temporary certificate of occupancy permits at this location and
I must revoke certificate of occupancy #XXXXXX effective today 6/1/2005. Many times I have referred to the criteria that I use most often when trying
to make the building code work for our customers.....
1) Does it make sense?, and;
2) Can I sleep at night with the decisions I make?
The answer to both of these questions as it relates to continuing occupancy at this location is an absolute NO.
That's why after struggling with this issue for the past several days, I made this decision at 3:00 AM this morning.
I hope that you will understand that this decision is made in the interest of public health, safety and welfare. I am committed to ensuring that
the next disaster and major loss of life in this country will not be (caused by Projexorcism) in Roanoke Virginia."
