A few weeks ago we bid farewell to 3 Los Angeles natives that constantly motivate Dethkills. We have been so busy preparing for our up coming solo show, Nov. 13th 2010, that we forgot to send them off in traditional DK fashion. Godspeed to you my Lords and may lasers shoot from you eyes.

Friday night was good ol’ fashioned family fun. Just look at the pics. Thanks to all the old friends that came out and the new ones we made. Next AD appearance will be Tuesday November 23rd at Spaceland in Silverlake with…UNSANE!!?? Yes, UNSANE. Insane.
Hardcore punk rock thrash grind stoner doom powerviolence fantasy death crossover metal. Call it what you will, just don’t label me.
Enough said.
Our good friends the Blackout Party were up in L.A. to play a gig the other day. Obviously you’re supposed to support your friends and tell them they did a good job even if they didn’t. With them that is not the case. If I didn’t know these guys I would be just as into them as I am now. These guys kill it and give away their music for free. You can download the album here. I suggest doing it. Free and good. Their is nothing that is free and good. This is the only thing, except maybe two tacos from jack in the box when the Lakers hold their enemies to under 100 points.
Dethkills got the chance recently to work with an amazing organization called HomeAid. HomeAid is a charitable non-profit organization that builds and renovates shelters for those who find themselves homeless due to sudden job loss, catastrophic illness, spousal desertion and domestic violence. We were invited to paint live at a charity event in Orange County to help raise money for the fight against homelessness. Charity attendees were invited to participate by writing messages of hope and encouragement on paper that we transferred to the paintings, in the traditional DK style. The paintings will be hung in 2 of HomeAids shelters and hopefully those words will bring a smile to some less fortunate. Be thankful for what you have.
If you wanna come to culver city and listen to some good tunes, have a couple drinks, hang out with awesome doods and check out some really good art roll thru the scion gallery tonight.
What a great night! French, Derek Albeck and Dethkills showed some art work and we got to hang with a bunch of people we haven’t seen in a long time. If you are ever in Little Tokyo stop by No.A, it’s a great boutique clothing store. Thank you Nate for having us.
Paralleled Opposites opened this past weekend and was more than a success for artist Mark Whalen. Watching the progression of Marks work over the last few years has been incredible. He out does himself each time. The show will be up until November 6th at Merry Karnowsky Gallery. You should probably get over there before it comes down, you will not be disappointed.
Here are the pics from the live painting and t-shirt screening at the Culture Collide Fest. Check out Chris’s Dickies bringin’ it back to ’98 with a one roll cuff and hard ass crease. Bomb. Thanks to everyone at Filter for a wonderful weekend, everyone who wandered in aimlessly in search of their tickets and left with a t-shirt and Grill ‘Em All for soaking their onions in beer. Oh, and start marking off that calendar. Only one month and counting until our solo show at the POV Gallery in Chinatown. Check back for the details, lords.
