The Relics "I Dig Your Grave" Live
Recent satellite signals received on South Mtn. appear to
document a recent ReLiCs show. Nothing is known about the origin, date or location of the event but technicians did say that
the the signal appeared to originate somewhere near the outer rings of Saturn. It is thought that the transmission could be
from a rogue satellite. They have been known to enjoy some tasty garage rock as they wander the outer solar system (although
they prefer progressive). NJoY,tHe ReLiCs
Recording sessions II are Mission Accomplished! MP3 downloads available soon. Artwork and
duplication are possible. We gotta see how much change we can get outta the couches. Here's a couple of early ReLiCs
oRiGiNaLs recorded by Cliffy in LiVe! StereoPhonic! Lo Fidelity! at tEh ReLiCs secret HiDeOuT. Click the link
to play (LOUD). ..
Holocaust - tHe ReLiCs
Side A of our first single? Cliff wrote in D.C. with his long time band. He flogged us til
he was satisfied that we were pissed enuff to play it right. Perfect fit, which is eerie because we all met about 20 years
later in his journey. Great garage rawk does not obey the mundane limitations of time or space. Tip of the (cowboy) hat to
Lemme an the boys.

When we got this rollin a couple whiles back we talked about goals
and we all agreed that bein part of the scene and havin sumthin to share was good enuff. If thats all we achieved, we could
be satisfied. Well, we are satisfied. Diggin the new tunes, workin on more, playin with some cool bands at sum great places
full of party people and havin a blast. ThankX to all. KiCk AsS!

Song Breakdown
Blank Generation-Richard Hell
Ah, one of my heroes, Richard Hell...founding member
of Television, the first "new wave" band to get attention at CBGB's, then with The Heartbreakers for a while, and was involved
in one way or another with most of the Mercer*/CBGB's bands (Blondie, Wayne County, Suicide, Talking Heads, Ramones)-this
song was performed by TV and by The Heartbreakers but was never recorded until Richard Hell and The Voidoids finally did it,
years later...Richard says "the song was taken wrong, as if 'Blank' meant dumb or mindless, when I intended it like 'fill-in-the-blank',
like we were creating what we were as we went along as opposed to following a pre-set plan". Either way the song rocks, we
luv doin it, and Rich deserves our attention as one of the pivitol figures in modern music ! -TiMs.
*In the early 70's The Mercer Arts Center was a rotting shell of a building
in the bowery that, to hear Joey tell it, "no one was sure who owned it or whatever but sure as hell nobody maintained it...anyway
somebody would organize gigs there with admission and concession and security, sort of, all on our own, The Stillettos, Suicide,
Wayne County, Johnny Thunders and Rich...it was ours ya know, our scene..."-Joey Ramone. This was pre-CBGB, it was one of
the only clubs in NY where unsigned bands could play...it collapsed, literally, in a rainstorm in '73, leaving few places
for new bands to play...enter CBGB's!!!

EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN....literally...
| Ahh..tHe FlaMer.. |
|
| tHe GuiTar!! wHaT diD YoU tHiNk..? |
Howdy Y'all!! Tims here, thought I might tell ya about some of
my gear. My main guitar is a straight-outa-the-box Epiphone Flamekat. Epi made 'em from about '02 to '04 then discontinued
them, at least this version. Its a semi-hollow body les paul-style axe, 22-fret neck, flame paint job, dice knobs and fretboard
inlays-awesome! I love campy shit like that! It features two somewhat unusual pickups called "New York Mini's", a compact
humbucking pickup used, as far as I know, only in a few of Epi's "Kat" series guitars. I REALLY dig their sound, not quite
as "wide-open" as most humbuckers (more of a tight growl than a roar at normal settings) but I can make it scream like a banshee
by rolling up the treble and kicking up the gain on my amp. Very versatile, sounds great on acoustic and slightly over-driven
settings too! I luv it! I bought a very-similiar really nice Custom-shop Epi Wildkat to use as a second in case my flamer
crapped out onstage sometime, but it doesnt have the NY Minis and doesnt have the same balls...off to ebay ya p.o.s.!!!@#!!##
Flamer stays solidly as my #1 axe.
