Dia de los Muertos: The new humans

The unseen hand of fate guides our evolution into a bionic age. Experience the kinetic sounds of living music that your soul shall be healed...

Without further ado...

Billowing smokestacks! It's time for a fine time with our damned new friends MOLLIES WAY. They've toured their Green Bay, WI ))>sounds<(( all the way to the Best Coast for your good pleasure, and kindly they've asked we join them.

The aural ravaging begins Wednesday in San Francisco's North Beach at a classic hideaway always in the rough, GRANT & GREEN on the corner of Grant and Green for your convenience.

Thursday night we'll be taking the show to Oakland's infamous STORK CLUB. This being our first time to grace the Easy Bay with audiokinesis this year we have high hopes to see many dear friends.

Next stop, the murder van will be taking us down to TRIP in Santa Monica for their back-to-school, end-of-summer blowout. We hit the stage at midnight and the party never stops.

September 11, will be commemorated at Linda's DOLL HUT in Anaheim, if all willing in a book burning display of true patriotism, as men attempt to kill all gods. I haven't seen a flier for this one yet.

A backyard barbecue and day of rest round out the final leg of the trip, until things ramp up again at DIPIAZZA'S in Long Beach, Tuesday Sept 14. RMF is going to be representing the hometown.

Saturday back in S.F. on the 18 we're going for take no.2 at Pirate Cat Radio.

BREVIS

I like our nuabbreviated moniker: THE BTR MKR... It makes me feel Jung, and we all know how Jung feels.

So... a bitchin' OC band made a flier using our sweet(ass) logo by default, when it dawned on me what a fine logo by default we indeed have. Thusly, I made this post for any and all other bands wanting to include the aforementioned sweet(ass) logo on their fliers.

You may choose from black or white and a special thanks to Mental Defects who quite ably fixed the colors from our lofipsychedelia-drumlight to include on their design.

Bravo,
RMF

July 3 Mission: Mission All Ages

July 3 Kaleidoscope Free Speech Zone will host a sonic display to rival any Mission District firework gala the evening may have in store.

The Western Front from Iowa City will headline the night with their moody blend of rock by way of mid-western states. They will be joined by the chordal dissonance of San Francisco's most understated folk/noise genii The Better Maker. This special night will also feature the sweet harmonies of The Wandering Bears(IA) and opening is Los Angeles' newest synth-prog sensation Modest Fur.

A not to be missed event for All Ages. $5 at the door.

26 de mayo 2010

Miércoles in the sweetness of Polk Gulch Kimo's will resoundingly echo its sanctuary as a last bastion for pariah and fiend.

Paranoids will once again be throwing down their signature gnash of true grit 26 de mayo 2010 in the Penthouse Lounge. The Better Maker will open the night with a muted post horn heralding Spiral Bombs and euphonic cacophony.

These are the apocalyptic sounds of shattering mind control
