We had a great time at SXSW 2016! We were interviewed by Audie Cornish from NPR and featured in Esquire Magazine!

In 2016, we wrote a multi-media performance called Promethean Waltz. The show features visuals by RecSpec, human and robot drums, narration by Chip Keichline, and Ponytrap’s music. The first performance in January at Austin’s Stateside Theater was produced by the fine folks at VoyagerFest. We’re filming a second production July 10 at the Off Center.
Ministry!
Al Jourgensen of Ministry!
Holy Cats! Al Jourgensen and Ministry shared our video Fix No. One on their Facebook page! We went to see Ministry Sunday, June 7 at the Mowhawk and had our faces melted and our brains crushed. Psalm 69 was a huge musical influence on Quentin & this was a great show and a great day.
Meeting Tommy Victor

On Sunday, Danzig came to Austin for the Housecore Horror Fest and we stuck around for the chance to meet one of Quentin’s big musical inspirations, Tommy Victor of Prong – we also got to hang out for a minute with London May from Samhain, who’s a super good guy. It was the impetus to make our first recording, a remix of Prong’s Unconditional, and very much served as a launching point – the machines are ready and we have a set full of killer tunes. Time to go.
