Apocastentia (viewers beware)

[Sloth Tonight]

So I figured I'd let anyone in my NT family who wants to see something ridiculous, well, see something ridiculous! I've been in several bands before - this one was my own creation. Called ourselves Existentia. Started it on my own years ago, goofing and experimenting around with drum samples, etc and recording my bass over it. It was meant to be hilarious - some of my friends got it and joined up. We eventually became a full band with no electronic drums etc. The music is mostly ridiculous, and so is our stage get up - (can you believe this was a fundraiser event to benefit a human rights campaign in Guatemala? we called this event "Apocastentia")

The songs all varied in style. This one is probably best called trip-hop...and anyone who is religious may find it offensive so my advice is don't watch it if you think it may offend your religion (and, power to you!). It is my cup of tea but not everybody's. Definitely vape while watching if you so dare to watch

And, sorry if it's not ok to post this sort of thing on the NT forum - let me know and I'll remove it promptly.

If anyone does actually find themselves crazy enough to enjoy it I'll be happy to provide more

That is pretty awesome. It made me think of an alternate universe where the Gorillaz were an extraterrestrial lounge band and their home planet's atmosphere contained a small percentage of L S D

Flash back!!! Reminds me of what my garage was like when my son jammed with his bands Headcore and Zero Story! I spent so many wonderful nights in Deep Elum watching him and his friends perform! Those were some great crazy days. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like your singer went mushroom hunting right before the show lmao

I was born an Atheist and this song really resonated with me.

"For they know not what they do Lord, or do they?"

SO MUCH YES! Your band looks like my kind of people. I like the instrumentals as well. If Willy Wonka, Hunter S. Thompson, and Carl Sagan partied together this would be the music they'd listen too while they did it.

It was a gamble but I thought you guys might like it

funny enough, the lyricist/singer is a Christian! The only religious person in the band. but he hates church lol

 

[motabrownie]

Actually kinda reminded me of the Residents

Interesting. I like it! And yeah it looked like your singer was cleansing his doors of perception...

Really like it, but for some reason when I look at your profile picture, it takes me back to my James Taylor and Dan Fogelberg days! So much so that I had to dig out my 1975 vinyl of Captured Angel! I haven't had that one on the turntable in years! Reminded me of our old log cabin on a cold snowy day in Flagstaff. I'm sure you are too young to remember most of that but you, the rocking chair and your dog brought back some awesome memories!

awesome! it was a cold snowy day when that pic was taken - probably 20 or 30 below outside, 3 feet of snow and so there's no better place to be than in my rocking chair with doggy held close for warmth

Love this one!!!!

Love this one!!!!

I absolutely hated playing with that band, but I enjoyed the music. They were just annoying people (less the drummer--he's awesome in every way, as well as the guy on the far left, I miss those two a lot) and we had different reasons for doing what we do. That all ended in a rough spot for the band but luckily they're back on track so far as I know and still playing
