Praise for ShoutLand! Upcoming Black Masheeen Track!

Here is the latest email we have received regarding the ShoutLand CD.


"I just wanted to tell you how much I am Enjoying (pun) Shoutland.  It’s brilliant!  The more I listen to it, the more I can’t decide which tracks I like best.  The CD  has a nice, disturbing flow when played in numerical track order but also works well shuffled.  The entire premise of a crazed, hoe and screwdriver wielding vigilante taking on noisy, asshole neighbors is delightfully evil and fulfilling.  My favorite tracks (as of my last listening) are: Gone Up North, An Ice Chest of Donor Organs, I Want to Take a Shower (I love Lisa’s aural painting of Agatha), Buzzing Like Cicadas and of course, my all-time favorite, The Party’s Over (Now Get The Fuck Out).  Bad Plumbing is bitchin as well." JB


We are hard at work on an upcoming Black Masheeen Track titled "An Amygdala Gala." 

Coming Soon!

This Thursday Amokian Masheeen on internet radio!

This Thursday, from 11pm to 1am on Kill Radio Amokian Masheeen will take to the net-waves (not air-waves as this is net radio.

This set is a collaboration with Igor Amokian, phog masheeen and Ustad Morelock. Igor Amokian is a legendary circuit bender and Groove Agent. A veteran of beatbox battles and an impresario of beat related events. Ustad is the host of Dung Mummy Radio and formidable force on guitar synth.

For this event I broke out the groove box and built three programs for the event, Lower Level, On the Bubble and Steel Cut. I don't know if I will get to use any of them, but it is good to be prepared.

What else do you have going between 11pm and 1am on a Thursday night? And you can join the chat at the Kill Radio page.

Phog masheeen also opened last weekend's Santa Ana Noise Fest #5. On this occasion we were Joined by Craig Sibley who performed on a variety of instruments. Most notably his "Chicken-phone."

Here is Craig's description of the "Chicken-phone."

The history of the Chicken-Phone goes back to when I lived in Fullerton, where we had a large yard behind the house complete with a chicken coop. One day while cleaning up the yard, I set a tomato trellis on top of a chicken "nesting box". I tossed a brick over where it hit the box and trellis and it made the most remarkable sound. I promptly took the objects into the garage, added some guitar strings and immediately fell in love with the instrument, where I used it on a variety of projects including a sound track on a film called "Menagerie" (complete with chicken poop and everything). Since then, I have built a nice version of the instrument (without poop) and love the thing! It has a bass string, and a guitar string, can be struck with drum sticks, plucked or bowed for some very strange and wonderful sounds!

Look for the recording of SANF5 to be up soon! With Chicken-phone and Dr. Kaplan's signature percussion.http://tiforg.bandcamp.com/track/smash-it-up-the-damned
