Pizzle

About Me


Pizzle drunkenly lurched about the murky depths of the dismal Indiana music scene from 1992 to 2005 striving to establish the Malevolarchy (a societal system in which the ruling class consists solely of necrophiliacs and serial murderers). You can rest assured this was not some baggy-trousered fluffy crap about girls or empty political rote.
Pizzle's pre-retro sound entertained capacity crowds in the Midwest, the deep South, and anywhere else folks don't know any better delighting audiences with a whirlwind of saliva, beer, and the occasional blood. A live Pizzle performance was much like a random act of violence in that it was senseless, quick, and funny in a weird sort of way.
Critical darlings from the band's inception, the music press simply could not write enough about Pizzle, often just making stuff up when they ran out of news. Their "Trouble In The Monkey Haus" EP (Knock Worst Records) was favorably reviewed worldwide and the resulting skyrocketing sales made each band member very, very wealthy indeed. So fuck you. The Black Flag/Misfits sound of that EP brought Pizzle to the attention of Electric Frankenstein's Sal Canzonieri, who proceeded to include them on the first volume of his groundbreaking "A Fistful Of Rock 'N Roll" compilation series. The ensuing attention led to an imaginary Scottish record deal as well as plenty of other pleasant delusions.
So, again, fuck you.
