about

The first section is inspired by the affably addled citizens of the Lake Merritt Lodge; the second quotes the indomitable Mr. Brad Caswell; and the third is a rearranging and twisting of a traditional gravestone inscription from New Mexico, with the “dragon” interpolation again a quote from Brad. The Spanish roughly translates:

"This memory guards your soul. Your soul guards this tomb. God guards your body. Your body guards your breath. (Behold the breath…) Behold, the flash of the knife."

Dedicated to those who snort armageddon out of our wallets. —nf

lyrics

are coming out tonight
They’ll be here soon
They want to be here with us in our glorious times
And when they start to laugh, we’ll laugh too
But when they start to cry, they’ll ruin it for everyone
We’ll ask them to leave
And they’ll pull out their knives and kill us all
They’re here now
Close the gate Lock the door
Bring the lights down Put the lights out Close the bar
Maybe they’ll give up and go next door
Let’s pretend we’re gone Pretend we’re not here
Let’s pretend we’re gone
I’m too strong now I can’t lose
I try but I can’t lose
I stole everything from you
I stole your disaster from you
I can’t give it back
Este recuerdo guarda su alma
Su alma guarda esta tumba
Dios guarda su cuerpo
Su cuerpo guarda su aliento
Behold the breath of the dragon
Mira el brillo del cuchillo
All the desperate people in this town
are coming out tonight
They’ll be here soon

Sleepytime Gorilla Museum Oakland, California

Perhaps we can call them Avant-Prog Metal, or Grindcore Funk Theater, or in the words of one
particularly rapt concertgoer “Satanic Anarchic Viking Shit."

Regardless, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum indoctrinates their audiences with circuitous melodies, unnamable harmonies and gleefully dark, evocative sounds emanating from an array of voices and instruments, many of them homemade.
