Hey guys! Let’s talk about how Free Blood came into play. Did your eyes meet across a crowded karaoke bar in Singapore circa 1977, or should we save that for the movie version?

FREE BLOOD WAS AN EXPERIMENT IN PARTY POLITICS AND BEHAVIORAL SCIENCE. WE SOUGHT OUT THE DEPRAVED AND AWKWARD IN ALL SOCIAL SITUATIONS. WE USED PHEROMONES AS A WEAPON. WE DANCED AT SO HARD WE WOKE UP WITH FURNITURE STUCK BETWEEN OUR TEETH. WE THOUGHT MAYBE A MUSICAL OUTLET WOULD KEEP US FROM REVELLING OURSELVES TO AN EARLY GRAVE. FREE BLOOD HAS SUCCESSFULLY REVERSED THE AGING PROCESS. WE RECOMMEND IT TO ALL POST-PUBESCENT ADULTS.

The 2 tracks streaming on your Myspace page have rendered us on our knees begging for more. In fact we might have *cough* declared it the biggest audio cock tease east of the East River. Is it true that we won’t have to wait much longer?

WE HOPE WE HAVE TEASED MORE THAN JUST YOUR COCK. WE HAVE OUR FIRST SINGLE ARRIVING IN MID-SEPTEMBER. NOT MUCH LONGER NOW. TWO MORE SINGLES TO FOLLOW, IN WINTER AND EARLY SPRING. HOPEFULLY OUR PERSONAL APPEARANCES WILL SUSTAIN/RELIEVE OUR CONSTITUENTS TO A CERTAIN EXTENT, MUCH LIKE THE CIRCUS CLOWNS BEFORE THE FIRE-BREATHING ELEPHANT ARRIVES.

Which brings us to the next question- how the hell does Free Blood work in a studio environment? So much of the live show feeds off the energy of the audience. It’s hard to imagine John not jumping into the crowd, but at least you won’t have to worry about taking anyone out with a pesky mic cord.

AS MENTIONED ABOVE, THE LIVE “SHOW” IS THE CLASSIC DISPLAY OF A MUSICAL GROUP DEMONSTRATING ITS ABILITY TO JUMP AND CONTORT AND PISS ITSELF LAUGHING IN ORDER TO DISTRACT THE AUDIENCE FROM THE DEAFENING PAIN THEY ARE NO DOUBT ABSORBING FROM THE AURAL ASPECTS OF FREE BLOOD MUSIC. THE RECORD HOWEVER IS QUITE THE OPPOSITE; A SONIC JUMPING, CONTORTING, PISSING, LAUGHING DOCUMENT OF THE ARTIST’S DEAFNESS. WE WILL STILL “TAKE YOU OUT” WITH A MIC CORD IF YOU ATTEMPT TO INTERFERE. NO WORRIES THERE.

Free Blood Added To After The Jump Fest

Free Blood is John XI Pugh and Gorman from !!! (aka Chk Chk Chk) with their friend Maddy. Together they create "a super trashy way catchy crazy fun bass and beats white fur funk pop outfit. Co-ed three piece, bass, busted synth, male/female vocals."

When we were trying to book Free Blood I said "I don't care about anybody else, I just really want to see them." But that is not entirely true, I do care about you and we really want you to come see this band. They will make you happier than a kid on a snow day.

"Miami booty-bass/Outkast/Shangri-Las concoction." - FLAVORPILL.COM .

"Free Blood, an offshoot of !!!, is stripped-down and arch, and more fun than its members' main outfit." - Time Out NY .

"One of my favorite new bands in New York." - Todd P .
