Coasting....

Recently, as school and DNA's job has heated up, he had been coasting on the blog site. Sure, he wrote some songs, published a book, and organized his class reunion, but what the fuck does that do for you, o Twin Rockets Are A Go, Baby! reader?

While DNA was out buying a new bike to ride with his kids,

he realized that he had been coasting downhill in life for the whole summer. One day, he saw that besides many lurkers who stop by this website from time to time, there was a follower of this merry little blog. Shit! That puts the pressure on! All these great topics to write about, which have been sitting by the wayside, have got to come forth now! The Mom of Snooch depends on it! DNA has got to get on the blog-bike and ride!

THE DNA VIBRATORS: From Obscurity To Global Domination In Three EASY Steps

DNA's educational side project, The Akkademiks, has been selling like hotcakes on CD Baby and iTunes. DNA wished it was selling more like a record---ba-dum, crash! You want to know lots more about Geology, right? Of course you do. This is how to do it funkily.

The Result Of Continuous Exposure To Radiation has changed the world, if you didn't know. And you most likely wouldn't know, because the change was so subtle and so encompassing that the new world feels so naturally like it is supposed to that no one can now imagine what the old world was like before this record was released. However, built into the record is the map which your unconscious can access to construct the world as it was before, if you choose to be disillusioned with the new world order. Look at the picture of lab rats. Click on it. Then, DNA dares you to listen to it, thereby staring eternity in the face. Horrible, and beautiful. Meaning, eternity is horrible and beautiful, not the record. The record is just rock and roll.

THE DNA VIBRATORS: The Result Of Continuous Exposure To Radiation

In 2007, the DNA Vibrators recorded their first new album in 12 years. Buy the disc or download the tracks. This is the record that documented the resurrection of the DNA Vibrators, spawned this website, generally made the world a better place, yadda, yadda, yadda. Click the picture below or go to iTunes and type in The DNA Vibrators to own this life affirming album of binary love.

DNA Discography and Band Tree

Band Biography: What do you get when you take three bastards, and let them play the stuff that didn't fit in their other bands? The DNA Vibrators. The DNA Vibrators formed in 1994, played out once in 1995, once in 2005, Once in 2007, once in, August 2008, once in 2011, and a couple of times in 2012. We took a break, then played the Lost Cross 35th Anniversary show in 2021, and have a new show in June of 2022! The DNA Vibrators have currently put out more records than they have played out live. They are living the American Dream.

Timeline:

1987: A band called The Watch, featuring DNA, Mr. Kamikaze, Matt, and Mike. The band died quietly in its sleep one day when no one was Watch-ing. We produced a few solid demos, nothing else.

1988: DNA, Mr. Kamikaze, and The Song Engine get together and form the Nightsoil Coolies. For brevity, most people just referred to us as the Coolies, even though there was another, more popular band called the Coolies. The Coolies added Fish to the lineup in 1990. They played all over the country until the spring of 1991. People graduated from college, moved on. Others sank into depression and got sucked into the Carbondale, IL whirlpool. The Coolies produced several records, including Song Engines, Demockery, Idioddyssey, Tim Our Leader, and a two-disc, posthumous Live at the Hangar 9 record. At their height, they probably had a hundred originals (some of which which did not suck) that they played out regularly.

1991: From the ashes of the Coolies, Satan's Monster Truck, shortened quickly after some ugly confrontations to Monster Truck (people take their references to Satan and Jesus pretty seriously down here) arose. Monster Truck was comprised of DNA, Ralph, the Song Engine, and Fish. Monster Truck played all over the mid-west, and produced three records, 8 Cylinder Baptism, an untitled demo, and a posthumous disc of live recordings from the Hangar 9.

1993: As Monster Truck broke down, CRANK was vehicle which next drove DNA to absurdity. CRANK was formed from DNA, the Reverend, Ralph, and the Hand Of God (H.O.G., for short). CRANK played all over the country, and was producing some shit that was being noticed for awhile. We put out a self-titled record, and untitled record which we made with Kramer, a famous New York indie producer, and finally released a CD, called Garlic, in 1995. Again, we were all at points in our lives in which school, real jobs, and becoming parents all came together. In the resulting crash, CRANK was no more. Since CRANK finished, a 5 disc inclusive set was produced of the band's work.

However, before CRANK disintegrated, DNA, H.O.G., and Mr. Kamikaze ('member him from the beginning of this story?) got together to play some of the stuff DNA was writing that didn't fit the CRANK mold. The result? THE DNA Vibrators. The rest of that story is still unfolding, unfortunately, at a geologic pace. But, DNA is content to let shit happen as it happens. Who knows? Perhaps tomorrow, things will move much faster. And then where would DNA be? Too old to keep up with the young fuckers, that's for sure :D

Since the song engine is still turning, expect more stuff in 2010.
