We welcome all participants to this gala event.    ….also a Paranoid Freaks Anonymous gathering.

Now you can get your SexTapes on iTunes Worldwide.   We are happy to finally announce the release of SexTapes debut release, now available everywhere via Itunes.   We love this medium of immediate delivery to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime.

What does Paris Hilton and the Reverend Jerry Falwell have in common?  Besides being unfit for public consumption even in a hopelessly out of kilter world, they both wanted their SexTapes (the latter’s featuring Tinky Winky). Well, we’ve got ‘em… unexpurgated, sordid, and with novel deviations to stimulate the jaded.

Like other unique musical endeavors, SexTapes originated out of sheer perverse amusement with a series of informal jams by Wheeler and Fox in a cluttered garage. There, amid a bewildering array of audio electronics in every conceivable state of condition, promising sonic experiments continued with slated vocalist Chris Pitman’s enthusiastic blessings, even though the former bowling alley mechanic and conceptual art aficionado was about to embark on a mammoth tour as an integral part of Guns N Roses. And why not… the resume of the three would show a shared musical history with less than a ‘six degrees of separation’ scenario: Prior to “Jane’s Addiction”, Wheeler had played (bass) with his then roommate Perry Ferrell in “Psi-Com”, a regular in the L.A. underground scene in the mid-1980s.  Afterwards he brought on “Karmageddon” with Kali-armed drummer Danny Carey now of Tool notoriety.  Chris, too, had been in various bands with his University of Missouri Conservatory of Music bro, Carey, both in their defiant K.C. days, and latter in the prog-tinged “Zaum”, with the polymorphous composer also adding synth textures on Tool’s multi-platinum album “Aenima.”  On that same record, fellow Zaumite (and Danny’s paragliding buddy until their instructor got killed after being slammed against the side of a mountain), bassist Marko Fox supplied the dramatic vocals used on the Gotterdammerung-like “Die Eier Von Satan.”  But that was then…

With the addition of drummer Ryan Brown, the band moved from Marko’s garage into a more spacious studio lockout in North Hollywood.  There, Kelly and Chris began cherry-picking from the early demos, keeping in mind their goal of creating a record that no “American Idol” contestant would ever be able to stomach.  Beginning in 2006, drum tracks were laid down at “The Pass Studios” on Cahuenga, with Wheeler and Fox also tracking their parts with Chris’s Production.  Finally back from being on the road with GNR, Chris began recording the lead vocals, afterwards enduring the meticulous process of adding multiple layers and, if not lush, roughly shimmering guitar-synths which, at times, are reminiscent of his masterful arrangements on Lusk’s “Free Mars.”

Fast forward to 2008.  Reference mixes from “The Pass” were painstakingly remixed (and mastered) until the desired result was achieved.  And what a result!  Unwary listeners be warned, the SexTapes debut is not for puerile tastes (just listen a few dozen times and see for yourself), but an outright assault on defanged banality. And with its completion, the band finds itself duly prepared to cross that perilous chasm (on the electraFox or otherwise), including, if need be, fannish idolation, the taxman, and obligatory dealings with industry types (Marko at one time having at least one of every known species of snakes native to South Carolina). As enticing as a butcher’s window (that previously mentioned), and as audacious as spoiling the prize, here, then, is the realization of a blending of musical ideas that one might expect from a group whose individual tastes include cantaloupe and wine with Dali, curry with Dawkins, and steak and iced tea with Peckinpah and Crowley.

Lyrics by CP    1994

You, yes you have been chosen to face this new invention of
modern structures, this huge machine works all by itself
its called The Apparatus

Im going to describe it first, before I set it in motion
Its built around three major parts:

The Wand
The Bed
The Glove

The Wand appears to do its work at 2000 revs a minute,
as it quivers, its points pierce the skin of the head
and drives its way deep into your …..

The exquisite of tortures comes to pass after the sixth hour
Enlightenment proceeds the pain, trancends the condemned man

The Bed is shaped like a body formed in steel
The Glove is fitted comfortably around your neck
attached to it is a felt gag, to place in your mouth to conceal
the petty cries against yourself

voice: If only all Rome had just one neck

Now, can you appreciate the work accomplished by The Wand?  and
Now, can you appreciate the whole Apparatus?

Well can ya?
