'Return to Nothing'
Musicassette / c40
Drone mud merk recorded live @ Return to Nothing: A Concert of Extreme and Improvised Music. Also on the bill that night, Ginungagap, Sean Meehan, PSI, Andy Hawkins and DJ Teeth. The proprietor of Misanthropic Agenda Noise Shop says, "The recording is too poor, I would feel bad if I sold it to one of my customers." We say it sounds great. Especially cranked through a cheap boom box.

Of th'...New Weird American classification of music. Loose, improvised, fudgerudgery. Members of Human Adult Band, Marie Henry, The Yets & others of th' Philly, NJ, NYC sandbox. Guitars, bass, electric shavers, kitchen ware percussion, voice. Cool, easy vibe, recorded under a bridge and in living rooms.

'Permanent'
CD-r (60 min)
Features Powercell's complete sets from Avant Fairfax Fest 2010 in Fairfax, VA and underneath the train bridge in our NJ hometown supporting KuuPuu (Finland). Plus, at home, 'turn up the treble' drones, bluesy no wave jams while watching lo brow art films, a strange turn towards contemplative shoe gaze and assorted 'freak' music bits. Long Listen.

's/t' (Log Cabin Recordings)
Double musicassette / 2 c30s
These are not songs per se. It's free improvisation using guitars, drums, electronics and assorted noise makers. There may be some banjo and voice on there as well. It's def a weird listen, without completely loosing the rock element. Because it was recorded in living rooms of the band members, it has kind of a cool and easy living room jams feel. A few really 'out' jams as well.
$10ppd The Summer Dresses
's/t' (Log Cabin Recordings)
Musicassette / c20

$7ppd Thee Black One #1
'You Can Join Us'
Musicassette / c40
Toms, loopy synth & heavily distorted bass recorded onto a $30 Radio Shak tape recorder, like many T Penn & Adult Band recordings. Lots of distortion and room noise.

'Bast Demo'
Musicassette / c40
Wretched french pressed heavy. Cautious, destructive, repetitious....Dogo is a mutted strain of music hating women and a man (Kevin of 2673, ASPS and PIV) pounding drums. Festering sounds from a building that is falling down - total trance and mantras. lo-tech recording for fans of: shaggs, teenage jesus and swans. Full color j-card w/ pictures of the band. Some of Trevor's dearest friends.
