Thanks to Festerfuck for the info. I almost missed it since I have abandoned myspace, so if you have a show coming up send in the details.

The Wisconsin Sickness digital volumes (Volume One and Volume Two) have been collectively downloaded almost six hundred times so far, with 41 badass songs by 25 of Wisconsin’s sickest bands.

I’m looking for thirteen new bands for Volume Three to be released sometime around August.

Previously there have been some questions about the type of music I am accepting for the releases, as well as accusations of being biased or unfair. To be clear, Wisconsin Sickness just is not about your standard rap or dance music. It is also not about music that sounds too poppy or happy.

That is not being closed-minded. It is about keeping these compilations focused on what I intended them to be about.

If you have any questions about if your band fits the bill, take a listen to what is on the previous releases or just send an mp3 over. It’s cool hearing other Wisconsin artists, even if they don’t fit into the focus of Wisconsin Sickness.

If your band is interested, here is what you will need:

- One or two songs in mp3 format, minimum 128kbps

- Band bio, photo, and logo (layered PSD file or white logo on black background preferred)

- Links (facebook, myspace, youtube, official website, etc.)

Along with whatever other information you want to include.

Email everything to: info@wisconsinsickness.com

Also, I am trying to make some changes to the site and bring it back to what I originally intended it to be. I am hoping to get ALL original WI bands featured here and included on the site permanently, hopefully with videos, mp3’s, etc.

This will be a slow process. If you would like your band included, please contact me with the same info as above. Otherwise I will be starting with the bands included on the Wisconsin Sickness comps and work down the line from there.

Be sure to use the contact form to send info about upcoming shows, as well, including date, time, lineup, flier, etc.

Sleep Serapis Sleep will be playing a Halloween show at the Miramar Theater on Friday, October 30th.

Bio

From the moment of the band name’s conception to their present day status of Attic-Based Elevated Grinders, Dion has had a beard and a penchant for hickory, and Billy’s had one (1) b in his name and has, in all likelihood, consumed several slices of pizza; both with and without extra cheese.

Dion, the Gypsy-raised result of a hops-fuelled liaison between a human-sized dwarf and a Slovakian leprechaunette and Billy, a descendant of Cousin It and the unpaid, official representative of the World Golf-Attire Authority began writing in earnest. They quickly realised that their symphonic venture would pay off much more than their proposed aggressive takeover of Whittlin’s R Us and continued to grind sporadically throughout the season known as summer.

A few months (and several hundred bulletins and classified ads) later, Mike was enveloped into the ensemble. Mike had just been fired from his once-illustrious career as an Ahomosexual live-stock fluffer for Bawdy Barnyard Productions after an… “incident“ involving a harmonica, a tub of hummus and an Episcopalian organ- grinder‘s monkey. Once taken on by Meth Tooth, he was put to work strangling the living daylights out of a Shure micro-ma-phone as well as doubling as the official Meth Tooth nip-gripper. At least he did once he’d overcome the nausea from his sudden elevation into the attic, now known as The Meth Lab.

These gravity-enthusiasts, did not allow the lack of a Mother-Pluckin’ Octave-Popper to hold them back from their dream of being payed in beer, Monsters and Ball-In-A-Cups (or would that be Balls-In-A-Cup ?) in return for playing their set; even having a guest appearance from Dance Cadaverous’ low-ender Johnno.

That, apparently was it: Meth Tooth pretending to have a bassist annoyed the piss out of an ancient universal entity known only as Tsi Ss‘Ab, thus causing the aforementioned entity to copulate with a megasauric, amorous 13-fingered cellist of talents-most-gob-smacking. With a clear purpose in mind, Tsi Ss’Ab seduced MechaCellist with the endlessly looped “Legacies Of Molestation” intro and a 30 pack of PBR with a funnel, and their ensuing love-making destroyed entire galaxies (Have you seen this? Have you heard about this?). Thundering out of MechaCellist’s womb comes Ryan, swinging a five-string rumble-stick above his head to whereby storm his way into the Meth Lab and the band’s hearts.
