ABRA CADAVER!

GRAB MY HONEY, 23 SKADOO!

About Me

there comes a time in every man's life in which the forces of divine might beckon him to step forward and make a difference for the whole of mankind. for a certain fellowship of three, this time came on a particular night in january. it was on this evening, over a brick of cheese, various flavors of chips, a bowl of salsa, a can of whipped cream, and a large apple pie that a great thunderhead appeared in the sky and ABRA CADAVER! was formed.
many will speculate that it is not merely by chance that such a virtuosic band of musicians happened to come together for all sonic good on this fateful night. some say it was written in the stars. either way, many stories have been told about the bands members. Pistol Pete's ravishing good looks and rhythmic mastery can, perhaps, be traced back to the complications surrounding his birth. when he found himself trapped, young Pete instinctively tore out two of his mother's ribs and proceeded to, in a desperate call of instinct, drum his way out of her uterus.
Danger Quarles, who has no middle name, is in an equally interesting state of being. the lead singer has been diagnosed with a rare disease that makes it impossible for him to speak at a volume lower than a yell. not knowing what to do in his early childhood, he refrained from speaking almost completely. later on, though, he realized the musical power of his affliction. when he is not melting faces off with the band, he moderates bingo tournaments every other saturday of the month.
little is known about MC Lee. some say he was raised by wolves, and that he discovered that a tigtly wound string made noise when fiddling around with the tendons on a mostly-eaten human leg that his mother brought home to the den. others believe him to be a space alien in disguise, working in cahoots with a band of neo-marxist revolutionaries in order to infiltrate the infrastructure of the contemporary music industry. in either case, he is devilishly handsome.

Sounds Like: at the moment, very lo-fidelity stuff. all of the songs that are up on this site, and all of the songs that we have recorded thus far, for that matter, were layed down on a one track tape recorder from like 1970. no joke, friends. the thing has been smuggled into howlin' wolf concerts, i believe. on top of that, we don't really have any microphones yet, so we had to resort to yelling in the direction of the recorder. fun, but not completely effective.

we hope to change this, however. hopefully within the next month or two we will hook up with a friend that has a mini recording set up and tape a few tracks in a more professional-sounding manner. until then, hang tight ladies and gents.
