HAPPY BIRTHDAY to THE Steve Turner of MUDHONEY! Here's a frame (feat Steve himself) from our video 'The Maker' (directed by James Rexroad). Perhaps we'll finally get him some Vans as a bday gift this year. See our vid (which also features Jello Biafra, Al Jourgensen +more) here: youtu.be/8463dR62j6c
Whoa! We got a full page dedicated to us in the 25th Anniversary issue of the AWESOME @razorcake.bsky.social zine! Big THANKS to the ultra talented @maritamura.bsky.social for featuring us on her photo page in this issue, and also for the high praise! We hit High Water Mark in PDX on THURS APRIL 16!

One of the most exciting things we did last year was release our vid for The Maker, feat Jello Biafra, Al Jourgensen, Toody Cole, Janet Weiss & many more! Check it out if ya haven't! Alternative Tentacles aka @alternativetent.bsky.social has it on their YouTube channel here: youtu.be/8463dR62j6c?...
Sending LOVE to our friend & hero Jello Biafra, pictured here w/our own Spit Stix. This was taken in SF in April of 2018, @ Orphan Andy's restaurant. Last year, Biafra appeared in the video for our song 'The Maker' (which is on his Alternative Tentacles YouTube channel). @alternativetent.bsky.social
This scene from 1978's Blue Collar makes lotsa sense right now (and then). A Marxist, radical, political movie...ahead of its time, too angry for the mainstream at the time of its release. It only feels more important with every year that goes by. Yaphet Kotto's words here ring very true right now.
*If you thought a stroke would silence Jello Biafra, I'm afraid you are sorely mistaken. Jello has sent us this while he is in the hospital, and while the news sucks we are happy he's able to comment on it.
