KissyFace MP3 re-discovered online!!![views:3798][posts:22]_________________________________________________ [Jun 16,2005 1:47pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] http://www.mindspring.com/~mcnamara/KissyFace/turbo(ext).mp3 This band featured members of sic.semper.tyrannis as a side project. The original line-up was: Jason Voorhees (aka me) - Guitar Optimus Prime - drums PatrickFace - vocals KissyChris - vocals in the beginning we started the band as something to do when Patrick Connors (later of The Cignal) was getting out of work. He was really the only one with a job. Chris and PatrickFace came up with the idea and asked me to play guitar, and thus the band was formed. At one point Pat Connors was in the band on bass, but on this recording (recorded live at BenFestm an annual birthday party for my friend Ben that kept getting put on for like 5 years) he wasn't. He starts the group chant of "We Love Turbo-Charged Dog!" at the end though. Optimus Prime was Brian Viglione, now of Dresden Dolls. On this mp3, he had left the band to join Asciento, as well as having left SST. When he left SST, we looked for a new drummer for several months and eventually Chris and Pat Connors lost interest, so the band dissolved. PatrickFace still wanted to do KF, so I carried on with him. We went on to play with a fest with Seven Day Curse with a fill in drummer, Pepe, who was later in Ruby Lashes and I think is in The National Blue right now, but I'm not sure. Pepe is Optimus Prime on this recording. All KissyFaces songs were 100% cuss word free. They were grind and death metal songs, sometimes sludge songs, that had puerile love poems as lyrics. The words to this song go: Turbo-Charged Dog Coming into town Turbo-Charged Dog Gonna take The Werewolf down We Love Turbo-Charged Dog!!! It was about a movie starring the original Buffy (not Sarah MG) in which she was being attacked by a vampire. Her dog ran from her house all the way across town and fought the werewolf. Our songs were between 5 seconds and 30 seconds, but a few were about 10 minutes long (the usual old-school grind band shtick) KF unofficially dissolved in 2000. At that point there was no drummer and only PatrickFace and were in. When I moved to NY, that pretty much clinched it. This recording is from somewhere between 1997-1999 I believe. |

I also have the video that MP3 came from-- Benfest 99-- Kris was still in the band at that point, but it was the last time he played with us. It was by far our best show. |

| ____________________________________ [Sep 10,2006 2:05am - anonymous ""] Also, one of the shirts still exists which was shown to me recently, I couldn't believe it |
| ______________________________________ [Jan 17,2007 5:57pm - the_reverend ""] dresden dolls are on NPR right now. the drummer said "im a frustrated drummer playing bass in some one else's band." and then the dresden dolls was born. |
| __________________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 12:04am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] yeah whatever he was doing in Asciento I will never know That band was not worth his time, he's an incredible drummer. You should hear him play metal. |
| _________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 1:57am - sxealex ""] truth to that |
| _________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 2:00am - sxealex ""] the tape is so good the mp3 is stupid |
| _________________________________________________ [Jan 18,2007 2:04am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] That's cause the mp3 has Pepe Anselo on the drums and not brian Pepe was good but he was no Brian Viglione |
| _______________________________ [Jan 27,2007 11:12pm - ... ""] I remember sitting in awe watching his bass pedals at the SST show at the Elvis room. Nope. it was obvious he couldn't be replaced. bah |
| ________________________________ [Jan 31,2010 1:52am - PFACE ""] LMFAO I finally found the movie me and Chris were watching when I wrote this shit. The scene with the dog running through traffic was on and I said 'WHOAH! THAT IS A TURBO CHARGED DOG!' and then went from there. It took me forever to find out what movie this was because Chris had said 'we were watching a movie with Kristy Swanson' I had checked all her movies and none matched. Finally 11 years later google saved the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMs0ahrGPjk |
| _________________________________________________ [Jan 31,2010 6:38am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] hahahah amazing. You still in Austin? |
| ________________________________ [Jan 31,2010 1:10pm - pface ""] Yeah. Austin. Also I lost every video/tape I had due to crazy ex-girlfriend. Brian had consented to me selling that demo tape on the Dresden Dolls forum too. I would have made mad loot. If anyone has videos or whatever I'd love to get my hands on them again |
