Periscope Breath

Over the past summer I decided to start recording non-song oriented stuffs, and easily realized that I would be able to churn these out much quicker than proper songs, therefore I decided to turn this into a separate side project.  Obviously I made quite a band name departure here, harhar.
Each "album" is released on cassette in micro edition...I have 4 left of the 13 of the first tape "Turdle-Head Blues" and 9 of the 10 for "Schwalbe Messerschitt."  Each is 30 minutes.  Or if you feel like trying it out before making the plunge, both are available for "name your own price" AKA free download at: periscopebreath.bandcamp.com
This is meant to be background music, noise mood music, if you will.  Short samples will be unrewarding...best to go start to finish while focusing your attention on anything else.  S.M. is almost entirely guitars, with some samples and a detuned harp (on one track), and T.H.B. is mostly guitars, some bass and samples.  No effects other than distortion, reverb, and tremolo on one song per tape.

Split Cassette with Ivan the Tolerable (Nov. 2012)

Split cassette with Middlesbrough, UK's wonderfully prolific Ivan the Tolerable, which is the solo project of Oli from the also wonderfully prolific Year of Birds.
Two gritty, off kilter Fall, Country Teasers, etc. influenced lo-fi "groups" from either side of the Atlantic pack 19 songs onto a 30 minute tape.  Hot stuff!
Available in the US from Uuhngreh Schpuggenuh Records
Available in the UK/Europe from Ack! Ack! Ack! Records

KD's 1st Video

Two nights ago, my buddy and KD live band member Mark, over borsht and beers wondered why KD had never made a video.  I remembered that my old digital photo camera had a video setting (think I bought it off a crackhead in 2005).  So with no ideas as to what the video (or which song) was gonna be, no editing software, let alone knowing how to use editing software...here it is!  A small square in the middle of the screen.
Lo-fi-Lo-res not know how.

Also this will be the lead off track on the delayed release of the "Normal Time" 7"
Due out late 2012 on Uuhngreh Schpuggenuh Records.

Bandcamp Page in Progress

No more free downloads here, buddy!

I recently decided to stop giving away free downloads and to leave most of this stuff unavailable.  I plan to make a Bandcamp page soon and have cheap downloads of certain albums available there.

New 7" soon

New 3 song 7" on Michael's homemade record cutter coming up at some point in the next month or two.  We're also planning on starting a very small label.

Record Store Day 2012 Comp.

Once again, the wonderful Ack! Ack! Ack! Records has come through for KD.  This is a link to stream the comp., featuring KD, The Rebel, Mike Watt, Jad Fair, Year Of Birds, dustDEVILS, GW Sok (from the Ex), and many other greats.  Purchase the tape in Middlesbrough, UK at Ack!

Bi-Monthly Free Digital Releases

Midlesbrough, England's Ack! Ack! Ack! Records recently began posting bi-monthly free downloads on their bandcamp page, and I'm very proud to say that KD's "Bez Konca" was the 2nd selection. The focus so far seems to be lo-fi, post-punk, garage, noise, off the beaten path goodness. Excellent releases so far, too. This label, as well as Year Of Birds (label/store owner's fantastic band) are well worth keeping an eye on, and with two free releases a month, who can complain?
