Video: "Drug Crusade"

Our good friend Jimmy came down to the rehearsal space a while ago and shot this excellent video. He brought everything you need for a video: lasers, glitter, and cool little cameras that attach to the head of your guitar. 

The audio is a live take of "Drug Crusade", while the video itself is a few takes of the song cut together (Braden is amazing, but even he can't take his headband on and off like that while playing.) 

There is still glitter all over our shit, but it was worth it.

Happy New Year folks!

Show at the El Rio Thursday Dec 20th

It's been a good long time since we played our last show in SF, and on December 20th we are back at one of our favorite venues, the El Rio.

It's been so long, in fact, that we got a bunch of new tunes to show you. We're not sure how many will be in the set yet. But some of them are about drug smuggling, intelligent salamanders, and death by overwork. I'm not sure about the others, because Enver changes the words every time. There will also be NEW T-SHIRTS.

It's a Thursday night, but the good news for you creaky old folks is that we're on first, around 9 pm. So if you have to, you can power-slam a few shots of whiskey, catch an awesome rock show, and be home in time to spank your children or watch Matlock or whatever.  But even better, stick around, hang out and watch psych rockers Glitter Wizard and Black Pussy, who are on tour from Portland. (We know how rough that can be. Support independent touring bands! Rock out! Eat tacos!)

Disastroid Acquires a New Weapon Of Mass Destruction

Enver just scored this 1977 Ibanez Musician.

Some new... stuff

We updated the site a bit and added new sections for press and an archive for a show posters. Basically we had to do this, because people just won't shut UP about us, and we had to find room to keep all those glowing reviews some place.

 Also, the tiny little poster gallery we had wasn't cutting it. Lots of folks have made rad posters for our shows over the years and they deserve to be shown off.

 Next order of business is getting some kind of an online store going, so peeps can order albums, t shirts, and maybe even poster prints online. We're working on it. (If anyone's got any advice on how to make this happen -- like, what service to use -- please share your wisdom.)

An August Update

Oh hey there. Do you guys like UPDATES? Who's ready for an UPDATE?! FUCK YEAH!

First off, we are playing two Bay Area shows in the coming week:

   Wednesday, August 29 at Eli's Mile High Club in Oakland
   with Sludgebucket and The Chiefs (Arizona)

   Saturday, September 1st at Bender's Bar in San Francisco
   With Abatis

Check out the flyers by Disastroid's own Enver Koneya and our buddy Josh Rautenberg.

In other news, we got a nice review from the Russian website "Rockway". The write-up is here: http://www.rockway.gr/nees-kyklofories/item/3510-disastroid

...but if that's just crazy gibberish to you, below is a Google translation. If anyone can tell us what a "sverkada" is, we would really love to know. Also, one factual correction: the album WILL INDEED make you run around the house tearing your pants off when you listen to it.

"If Chris Cornell did a party with Josh Homme, it sounded like Mr. Enver Koneya, singer from San Franscisco, Disastroid.

The guy had the dish (and have the necessary skills, of course) to create a complex that will house the voice and found musicians through ads, so do colleges with Braden McGaw (drums, percussion) and Travis Williams (bass). By Enver scraping the strings to the guitar, their sound is a mishmash QOTSA, Soundgarden and Melvis and as he says himself Koneya, play stoner rock for people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

Not going to run around your house tearing the pants you wear when you hear the album, but I assure you that will shake sverkada and have a wonderful time.

The opening track "Fallout" with its distinctive bass line from the top shows that talking to a plate with a strong atmosphere of psychedelia and the next "Low" could easily have been the idea of ​​Josh Homme.

The bad news of course is that the 8-track album of Disastroid lasts just 26 minutes. On the other hand, does not need to shoot a musical riff kourazontas durations and the venerable listener's ear. I suggest you check and let me know that after I am wrong!"
