We Got Bloodspasm
Tucson Weekly – Mar 13, 2008
both passed away in the mid-1990s. This year’s model features Spasm Gorman bassist Eric Snyder and guitarist-drummer Mike (Miles) Martin. “The weird thing about punk rock is that most of the people I know I don’t even know their last names” Spasm said. Even as its members have aged semi-gracefully Bloodspasm isn’t beyond creating a little controversy. Recently the band printed and distributed a flier drawn by local artist Kevin Byrd to publicize the upcoming SpasmFest. It depicts a purple effigy of Spasm hanging by a noose from a saguaro with one member of the assembled throng beneath him yelling “ff with his hair!” The hair reference alludes to the fact that Spasm traditionally has had his head shaved on stage during these semi-annual Bloodspasm gigs.

” That’s not to take anything away from the psychobilly genre though. “It’s always fun playing with psychobilly bands” he says. “That’s the music that’ll make kids eat the family pet not death metal. Such gracious critique and timely too being that the Badfellows will be sharing the Churchill’s stage with Davie-based Hawg Jowls and the Bacon Fats.

Funny Games Review When the film follows Ann (Naomi Watts) and George (Tim Roth)’s harmless musical game with harsh heavy metal music and titles obscuring everyone’s faces that’s the setup. Paul (Michael Pitt) and Peter (Brady Corbett) insinuate themselves into their vacation holding the family captive with psychological torments. First let’s talk about the word psychological. How many movies have promised psychological terror only to deliver banal shocks and musical cues? No psychological is when the situation is not only outrageous but the implications it has are even worse. Someone can threaten to kill you but if your death leaves an injured party helpless to find rescue that’s F’ed up… First let’s talk about the word psychological. How many movies have promised psychological terror only to deliver banal shocks and musical cues? No psychological is when the situation is not only outrageous but the implications it has are even worse. Someone can threaten to kill you but if your death leaves an injured party helpless to find rescue that’s F’ed up. So Peter and Paul start out just playing with social comfort. They’re clearly awkward and you don’t like them but it’s not anything you can fault them for at first (except that of course you’re putting together the pieces of their plan. ) They handle practical matters like taking care of the cell phone but they start their button pushing early.
