The CLAW and the CLAUS September 28, 2008

Filed under: Music, unicorn prophecy — zach @ 5:16 pm

On a warm and rainy Saturday Gene, Tristan, and Zach took a drive down the Rockfish Valley to a spiritual outpost called Monkeyclaus.  We were greeted by Master Kahn, Peter, and Able. Our goal was to record the CLAW anthem and bring it to the people. After a solid 8 hours of tracking, overdubbing, shaking tambourines, smacking cowbells, and mixing, we reached our goal. After another round of mixing and mastering the song will be available to all of you CLAW lovers from the Monkeyclaus digital download store. More importantly, we hatched a new relationship with a vibrant, enthusiastic, and revolutionary recording studio. Hanuman and The Unicorn, unite!

 
 

After Party September 21, 2008

Filed under: Whatever — marita @ 4:33 am

After we raised at least a strong G for Barack Obama, we were really craving snacks and dance music.  So we went to the gay headquarters with members of The Downbeat Project.  There we feasted on chips, salsa, goat cheese, and concord grapes.  Gene and Marita started working on the lyrics to a new song about someone who dates a dominatrix but is not really a bottom cuz he really wants to fuck on top.  The bridge would slow it down and acknowledge how sometimes everyone gets tired and just wants to lay down and have it done, but the lady feels him from the inside and knows that he’s so not a bottom - he likes to fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck on top.  We danced to that for a bit, but then DJ Western Front started spinning some tunes and all the men took off their shirts one by one.  All the ladies kept their tops on cuz it was a gay party and no one wanted to see that shit.  Rick Astley told us how he was feeling.*  Someone cut the bottom of Zach’s tie off, which he continued to wear sans shirt, and Aaron taped the remainder to his own bare chest.  He worried about the pain of taking it off but Marita suggested that he just scream, “Yes!” when ripping off the tape and the pain would instantly become thrilling pleasure.  On the way home we saw Zach and Becky wiped out on the sidewalk from their skateboard.  We told them to keep the rubberside down and the wind at their backs and godspeed.  Vote Obama.

* He is never going to 1) give us up, 2) let us down, 3) run around, 4) desert us.

Straight Punch to the Crotch on WNRN September 13, 2008

Filed under: Performances — billyhunt @ 9:29 am

Straight Punch to the Crotch played the WNRN studios a month or two ago.  For those of you that missed it, here is an mp3 of the event.  You can find out about our hopes and dreams, and my disdain for mayonaise and anyone who eats it. Probably the most important thing you will listen to this morning.

 
 

September CLAW, Husky Crotch, and the Helmetron 3000

Filed under: Whatever — billyhunt @ 7:33 am

I know we are giving a lot of Helmetron 3000 coverage, but the public has a right to know. Megan Lovett was kind enough to take a few pictures of Husky (aka Billy Hunt) for his upcoming book, A CLAW to Remember: The 2008 Charlottesville Lady Arm Wrestlers Retrospective.

Our friend Adriane took this great photo of Husky playing the Helmetron 3000 ™ at the Outback Lodge, dialing in those sweet sounds, looking good.  Who says mad science has to be evil?
