Mary Poppins meet Vybes Kartel
“I mean, people looked like we looked like in ‘76. People started wearing the spiky hair with the heavy leather stuff, the crazy belts with the chains. Women were just totally X-rated. They looked like when Siouxsie was walking around like a Matrix girl in her leather gear with her breasts out and stuff. Jamaica just totally lived what they had missed. They didn’t even know they...

Crazy Drunk Partners.......
“If rock’s not the thing, perhaps some crunk is in order. Inconclusively said to have derived from ‘crazy drunk,’ the term now describes a kind of hip-hop or rap that leans more toward dance floor electronics and club beats with a sprinkling of shouts overtop. Truckasauras, it could be said, has a truckload of crunk to deliver.” - Seattle PI likes the Truck in...

Wednesdays on the War Room deck is where you’ll find Truck posse. Especially on gorgeous days like yesterday. Fortune Kiki and a cast of rotating guest dj’s (J-Justice of Suntzu Sound, and Bob Hansen of Jacob London have been spotted behind the decks) hold down the audio treats while Marshall “Stack” Reid of Manik fame serves up your libation of choice. Not much beats the...

A Low End Sound
“We stopped at a store that sold a lot of speakers on the way to the airport because we wanted to kill some time. The guy went to put on a rock record and we said ‘No we don’t listen to that kind of stuff.’ We had a cassette of the rough mix we’d finished so we said ‘Play this instead.’ We played it and afterwards we turned round and there was just about 50 kids looking at the speakers,...

The Universal Language of Gear-Nerd Speak. via...
Adam: @PSMOOV Nice! Great synth.
PSMOOV : @truckasauras yeah i love it so much i had to get a second one! @truckasauras i know ya'll got a ton of great synths, whats your favs?
Adam: @PSMOOV right now, we've been leaning heavily on Ryan's MS-20. The dream synth would be an ARP-2600. Too bad we aren't rich.
PSMOOV: @truckasauras I havent played an ms-20. Two oscilators? anolog? most of my synths are soft-synths. Not as bad-ass, but space saving.
Adam: @PSMOOV Yep. Two oscillators, vintage-analog, patch bay to re-direct wiring, and squirrelly as hell. Filter cannot be matched.

Rollin' to Bellingham with the Truck
So the other week the Truck guys asked me to roll out to B’Ham to check out their show with Daedelus and Ghislain Poirier. Of course I am always down to kick it with the fellas and am especially down to hit the road - so it was on. I started to get a bit nervous because of some recent issues I have been having with the ID - renewal be damned- but you know sometimes you just gotta be willing...
What the Blogclot!!!!
BLOGASAURAS?!!!! Thats right Truckasauras has finally made it legit and have totally sold out. In partnership with some very unsavory characters (Hondurans I think….), Truckasauras are now in the process of making moves to take over the trafficking of “Cool”, “Hip”, and “Underground” in the Pacific NW. While some may mistakenly say “The world needs...
