Well not really, but they were parodied on there. Bender becomes and Invader-esque graffiti artist, and tags over a Shepard Fairey-esque wheatpaste. I am fairly glad Space Invaders “cousin” did not make an appearance.
“Crom: All Hail Those who Fail” follows the Los Angeles based powerviolence band’s early 90’s days as a trio, then into the trio becoming a five piece through both LP’s, and catches up with them in September of 2008 as they try to complete their first ever East Coast tour during their 15 years as a band.
I saw Circle once. I’ll say two things about that show: the bass player ripped off his shirt WHILE he continued to shred and it was one of the best lives shows I’ve seen.
A couple live performances from Circle below…
So what we have here is a tape that I thought was a blank from the Chris Thomson tape dump of ‘09. And yes, the a-side was blank, but I flipped it over to find that it was a practice session by Skull Kontrol which was Chris’s band with his then-wife Kim and Brooks from Born Against. And yeah, it would be cool enough if it was just the short-lived band blasting thru the tracks on their two Touch & Go EPs on a boombox at their practice space, but no, it’s far more than that.
