Prescription

************************** RX UPDATE ************************
The pill bottle has run empty and there is no doctor signed prescription refill handy. The Prescription goes unfilled… But there is hope that soon the doctor will sign off on another refill of the drug you have been longing for. That’s right some Rx rockage! In the mean time here is an update on the Rx staff. Our top bass combobulator moved off on special assignment to MN, and is expected back in action July of 2008. He is studying the cell of the bass in order to clone and engineer basses at the nano level. He is pure genius I tell you, evil genius. Davosamabinricottaladen is a happy father to baby boy Nile. Nile will be on tour and coming to the Bluebird Theater in CO this year (different Nile but I thought I would throw that out there). Nile can already do diminished triads in the pentatonic scale. This kid is a born shredder. He’ll be our second guitar player in no time. He’ll be 1 year old soon. Jorge is now an industry leader in the adult entertainment business. His escort service, “Jorge’s Whores,” pronounced; hor hey’s whores, is doing astoundingly well. Look for it on the NASDAQ with ticker symbol ‘whores.’ Also keep your eyes open for his new video line to hit store shelves soon. The Jones is busy playing in a steal drum band in Jamaica. They do all Bad Brains covers. He has since joined the Rastafarian movement and smokes weed religiously everyday while maintaining his new dreads.
Prescription’s latest album, “Epoxy Lips Now!” is being distributed on FiveCore Records – www.5corerecords.com . Go check out their website where it is available by order or download.
So that’s the latest from RX. There is a slight possibility of a RX reunion. All the members will be residing in CO later this summer in 2008. If you want to see RX rockin’ again, bug the hell out of us. Send us messages telling us how bad you want to see the debauchery again and it just might happen. All members are in the top 4. We look forward to reading from you.
************************************************************ *****
Long, long ago, in a suburb not too far away, three friends were horsing around on some instruments in a musky basement when they formed a musical entity that had no name, no purpose, and most disturbingly, no bass player. Just days after beginning the search for the fourstringer, a man was delivered unto them - some say by God, some say by Satan - but there can be no doubt his destiny was to align with the other three. The music flowed between them like booze and women, and more accurately, women under the influence of booze, and they knew they had something worth pursuing.
The time was 1996. The major drug companies had just began to bombard the mainstream media with overwhelming numbers of ads for drugs that you never knew you needed, but apparently could not live without. The word Prescription was everywhere. The abuse was a frightening aspect of what is so wrong with this country. To them, the word PRESCRIPTION encompassed the style of music that they were creating: Something intended to have a good effect on the people who really needed to take it.
Consisting of Dave Osama bin Ricotta Laden on Guitar, Jorge McToken on Vocals, Mike Jagger on Bass and Jesse the Jones on Drums, PRESCRIPTION embarked on their first show, early 1997, at the Oriental Theater. Highlights of the show: Mike knocked the side door off the building with his mom's minivan. Despite his tender age of just 16, some suspect there may have been alcohol involved. It was a sign of things to come and proved to be one of many unforgettable moments in Prescription show history.
Fast forward nine years to the present day. Prescription has matured. Now they stop to fix the door after knocking it off - but like the band members, some things have remained the same. Prescription loves to play. They never take themselves too seriously yet pride themselves on creating good music. To best describe what a band sounds like it is always helpful to list the well-known bands that have influenced the members. In this case the name dropping would include, DRI, Dead Kennedys, early NOFX, Circle Jerks, Dayglo Abortions, Subhumans, Crucifucks and many more... But why bother with attempts at describing how Prescription sounds when we are in CYBERSPACE and you can effortlessly listen to the MP3s on this web page to hear for yourself!
Full length recordings include:
Epoxy Lips Now (2005)
Malpractice (2000)
Medicinal Music (1998)
