Well I’ve been working my ass off holding down a video editing job and doing a shitload of new music this past year in NYC, but it’s paying off now as my new band BLACKBOMBS is starting to book some good shows and gain momentum.
We formed about 2 months ago and I’ve been hustling to get us some big gigs coming up. Anyway all the info is on the flier but if anyone is local to NYC and wants to check us out that would be awesome.
I have literally worked with about 5 different musicians and done a shitload of music this past year, and all of those projects will have one song on the compilation, so I am really proud of that, but this band is the one that seemed to actually gel and be sustainable.
I still have many working relationships with the other people I met on my journey, but I needed to get out there and start doing shit so this is currently my main focus.
Feedback and comments are much appreciated. Thanks and hopefully I’ll see one or 2 people at the show!
I hope you make it big dude I really do. That way you can shove it back in my face!! but until that time the embarrassment meter has just raised a couple more notches…

this is my favorite pic because he’s trying to so hard to look deep, with his self inflicted keeloid scars and his tortured sadness, but with his DESIGNER UNDERWEAR hanging out !
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What’s next, the Tommy Hilfiger wrist bands?
For better texture I think you should print out some of the Pics. crumple them up, then re-flatten them and scan them that’d be a cool effect!
Gotta admit parts of Forest Fire were ok but over all both songs made me giggle! Find your own brand and stop trying to look like the bastard son Marilyn Manson!
a couple of those pics, the one guy looked like he was the stunt double in the sweet dreams video!
BTW I noticed Fish has all of the Manson Albums under his pic, Didn’t he get fired after mechanical?

Your reaction doesn’t surprise me, but feedback is always appreciated.
Actually he had sewn his mouth shut in those photos and was probably trying to look like he was having a good time, which we all were.
We found the designer underwear to be humorous. The biggest assumption that seems to continually be made is that we take ourselves seriously.
really? I didn’t think any original members were left.

The fact that you “thought” to make sure the designer underwear was in the photo, like it was part of the plan, makes me think you take your self seriously…
How about some word bubbles added to these “so intense” photos then if you’re just farting around?Not taking yourself seriously (I think) would be you laughing and saying “yea I guess that was in there!”
At any rate, your sound has potential and is evolving since you first started posting your clips (This stuff is way better than MWAT) but your “not serious” schtic/image needs some work!
Manson is no longer shocking or even interesting let alone clones of him! Self mutilation is out, even with the fake blood around the mouth and makes you look silly.
Tread new ground and stop copying the old! unless you can do the old REALLY Good, which in my opinion you can’t, get something visually new! To your credit the audio is miles ahead of the visual!

He wasn’t an original member. He came during ‘Smells Like Children’

Christ! He was wearing the goddamn designer underwear, it happened to be in the photo, we laughed, and we moved on. I think you put more though into this crap than I ever could honestly!

Oh cool, I might go to this. NOt all this music is my bag but I like Kenny enough, plus I want to check out Santos Party House before the big cEvin Key DJ set in a few months.
Jesus Christ dude, I really like these new tracks. You’ve evolved massively as an artist and your voice is great now, very aggressive and not very Manson-y in delivery. I think “Forest Fire” is my favorite of the two but they are both really nice. Are they available to download anywhere?
Seriously nice work on this, some of the better new industrial that I’ve heard! If you come through CA, let me know and I’ll definitely come out and support!
Congrats and all… getting a band together to work together and perform and do anything is a feat… I haven’t been able to do it… never found the “Paul” for my “John” or the “Al” for my “Paul” if you get my drift…
(Beatles, Ministry)
That being said I think that while you’ve gotten better at crafting pop songs, your act is still quite silly, and your shtick will only really attract a small minority who like dark “shock rock” and like to drool fake blood in their facebook profile pictures to scare their parents. You can say “I know it’s silly, we don’t take ourselves seriously” but I think that is a cop out and you know it…
Anyway, it’s better than my band (I don’t have one )
so best of luck, but maybe you should take your talents in another direction…
I don’t see a problem with promoting Ginger Fish as the drummer from Marilyn Manson, unless he’s trying to break away from Manson completely which I presume is not the case.
The new tracks sound interesting. I think they’d be more impressive live. I don’t think much of the image but of course that’s not a problem with others who dig it. The picture of the guy with the Calvin Klein underpants is hilarious.
And Marily Manson is a better name than Marilyn Manson. Has more of a lullaby effect.
Thanks dudes. I am glad some of you like this new group.
To answer some questions:
I am not the singer of this band. But I did a lot of the music/songwriting including programming, drum machine, bass (I took it up this time last year), and backup vocals.
In addition we have a keyboardist/live “electronic drum pad-ist” (the black guy in the photo above) aka Defacto Obsolete. And the singer does some keyboard stuff as well in addition to penning all the lyrics and basically being our manager.
Yeah we worked our asses off and this was all done in 2 months. The songs are indeed more “live-oriented” mainly because they were written as a band unit.
As for the comments about Ginger exploiting Manson’s name, I’m not sure why so many people think he’s not in the band. He’s been in the band since ‘Smells Like Children’ so technically he is the longest surviving member in the lineup right now. I think he earned the right to market himself as “drummer of Marilyn Manson” [:P]
Oh cool, I might go to this. NOt all this music is my bag but I like Kenny enough, plus I want to check out Santos Party House before the big cEvin Key DJ set in a few months.
Check this out:
The same guy who organized the Ginger Fish thing, Rob Copeland of Dead Cell Entertainment (who is awesome btw) helped book this.
My understanding from him is that t’s not just cEvin kEy DJing. It’s a fucking live download show!!!
