News Update

On 10/9/07 Bifocal Media will be releasing a new book of comic art by Brian Walsby (MANCHILD) packaged with the Melvins “Making Love Demos” CD.

For the past 20 Years Mr. Walsby has had his satirical comic doodles published in everything from Maximum Rocknroll and Chunklet to Hustler's “Barely Legal”. Brian has created album art for bands ranging from 7-Seconds to the Melvins. He's also found time to play drums for the likes of Polvo, Snake Nation, Ryan Adams, Double Negative and tons of other bands.

MANCHILD 3 includes the Melvins 2006 illustrated tour diary.

The Melvins “Making Love Demos” were recorded in 1987, dubbed for a few folks (Mr. Walsby included), and forgotten about...until now. The CD includes 8 unreleased tracks. Four of them were re-tooled and re-recorded for the Ozma record. Four of them exist only on this CD. Here's a few choice Quotes from Buzz regarding the Walsby/Melvins love affair:

“I don't even have a copy of these songs, how the hell did he get them? Did we give him permission for this?”

“Brian Walsby is brutal. His art Hilariously cuts to the honest bone leaving no prisoners. I've always been able to depend on Brian to tell me the no bullshit truth. This is refreshing in a mostly "fuck you" world.”

“This is a perfect home for these songs. The Melvins support Brian Walsby in every way legal and illegal.”

You can pre-order one of the 2000 available copies now at www.bifocalmedia.com. You can hear a track from the CD at www.myspace.com/bifocalmedia.

News Update

Those little devils! Pollard (guided by voices) and Tobias aka the Circus Devils are preparing for their forthcoming ipecac debut full length, "Sgt. Disco" by turning out a couple perfectly oddball music videos. This band is happily offbeat and unpredictable, so analyze these choice cuts while waiting for the record.
