Q: What is The Re-cyculled Series of Recorded Over Pre-Owned Tapes?
  A: The Re-cyculled Series of  Recorded Over Pre-Owned Tapes is a series of audio cassette tapes that have
one side recorded over by our impressive roster of  artistes and one side  featuring what ever was on the other side at the time. Recycling the old whilst hopefully simultaenously introducing new listening experiences.  In theory no two cassettes are the same.  |

STRIKE 9  SKULL PAGODA
  MEN OF ROCK |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
CD-R. Skull Pagoda's studio debut pukes forth 21 tracks of fuddy, muzzy, ramshackle filth un-rock punky
shredded deaf mental blues felch.  Saucy? Erudite?  Witness songs of love, songs that bear the almighty scope of nature, revel in post-wank sci-fi fantasy.  The core duo of BRAD BOREDOM and MIKE SHIT butted heads and skirmished long and hard with guitars, power electronics, samples and the inhuman voice as the weapons of choice to bring the world this crud, then "Fuzz" Fuckerton unusually mixed it all down using a computer.  Digital recordings have nere sounded so feral.  Hear 10 songs now if your ears can stand it at www.myspace.com/skullpagoda  Limited to just 99 copies, LAST FEW COPIES!Incidentally since recording this mong-u-mental release the band have changed their monika to MR. HAIR.  Here's a site you might like to browse... www.myspace.com/mrhair |

In December 2009 an executive decision was made to record all future projects under
one collective name as it was proving too time consuming for the kindly individual who maintains our sites to constantly update you folk with the latest information.  All future releases will now be issued by MR. HAIR.  The first MR. HAIR recordings "THE CHARLIE CANNON" CD-R have been released by our new sister imprint FUDGEWAY AMUSEMENTS.  Click here for further shananignas... |
