Just saw this, our man Chris and Sonic Youth drummer Steve Shelley. The album title is interesting to say the least.

Chris mentioned this project a long time ago. Kinda thought it would be out by now.
Cool. Remember Chris mentioning jamming with these guys not too long ago. The album title kicks ass.
It’s going to be a busy year: THE HIGH CONFESSIONS in June, as well as recording the follow up this summer, we are all very excited about the album, some truly uncomprimising swathes of noise and nausea-inspiring psychedelia-gone-horribly-wrong…
As well as this, my own new solo album “HOW THIS ENDS” which features BILL RIEFLIN as well as a cast of power-electronic musicians helping me create a wall of noise that makes Ministry seem like the Carpenters…
it’s time to stop fucking around and cut to the chase, do some real work.
Sounds great! Hell yeah!!! Bué da fixe!
Excellent news Chris, and a return to some noise you say? Its always good to see you and Bill together.

Wow.
This sounds friggin cool. I may have to update my Porkspam Captures Chris Connelly movie now.
Are you releasing How This Ends on vinyl??? If so throw in a free mp3 download code for the album too.
It was Icepick who kidnapped Chris and had him singing like a bird, remember the red suit.
But this is rewarding news about “noise”. Another album to anticipate. When this album does come out maybe prongs could interview these guys or something along those lines.
EDIT: I hope Chris, the new material can match the awesomeness of this:
Check out that solo at 2:10. The descending lift scenes are perfect. [laugh]
SOLID.WALLS.OF.NOISE.
interspersed with the world collapsing as seen from a mental institution
you had me at hello
any chance of touring with either of these bands? even if just a few dates (like new york/new jersey? please please please?)
BTW seems alot of people who missed out on your book the first time around are really trying to get it and ebay is makinga killing on it ($75 a copy)

Hopefully, he makes another appearance soon enough to read that! I kinda feel bad for those that missed out. It’s a great read! You hear that Connelly, IT"S A GREAT READ? I know your getting older, so I thought I’d shout!
Late,

People, check out Bill Rieflin’s Birth of a Giant. Connelly is on it. It is grand. I await this muchly.
“power-electronic musicians”
[shocked]Whoa, awesome!
Really looking forward to this new stuff.
Chris… I gotta say with utter sincerity that I am so fucking hard right now.
[:)]
Looking forward to this beast. 2010’s gonna kick ass.
Bill Rieflin on drums…how about Paul Barker on bass??? He is after all a totally nice guy dude.
This new solo album Chris speaks of does sound exactly like the one he hints at in the film if Icepick releases him…
“Icepick_Messiah Captures Chris Connelly”
Book is at the printers as wee speak, it’ll be back in stores soon!!

Wonderful news! Thanks for the update, Chris…
Sounds like a great year ahead for you.
Oh Chris.
