Hello, Ya’ll !!!!

We are just back from the Southeastern / Texas tour and we’d like to say thanks to all the friends and fans that came out to the shows. We’d especially like to thank our touring partner Joe Buck Yourself along with Walt & Heather Wheat, Christian Brooks, Danarky, Doug Long from Brody’s Militia, Thee Whiskey Rebel & Marla Vee, Alcoholics Unanimous, Buzzcrusher, Before I Hang, Bruce Rhoares, Jeff Skipski, The Cut Throats, Shit, Beer Reebs, the night watchman at the Alamo, Dirty Charlie, Trevor in Ft. Worth, Whiskey Dick, Gary & Black Eyed Vermillion, The STDs in Little Rock, Marcus and Connie for flying all the way from Germany to see these shows…again, and all the clubs and promoters who were very good to us

In other news, Michael Pilmer and I are gonna work hard to beef up this site with lots to look at and do since My Space is starting to censor our site there. I put up an excellent quote from Clint Eastwood about how people are just too PC nowadays about every goddamned thing and within a week it was gone. Also some of the bloody live pics are getting pulled off as well as any “un-pc” comments left by other bands or fans. We will not be censored here on ANTiSEEN.com!!!

You may notice soon that a lot of the merchandise is out of stock too. Please be patient and we will try to either re-stock what’s out or hopefully get up a lot of new shit soon.
Speaking of new shit, the cd compilation DRINK, FIGHT & FUCK from Zodiac Killer Records is out now. You will be able to order the CD from us and you can get the double vinyl LP from Mr. Ron Zodiac himself at www.zodiackillerrecords.com. The comp features an all new recording with the new Aseen line up of the SEX PISTOL’S “Belsen Was A Gas”. The comp also features tracks by Blag Dalia of THE DWARVES, Eddie Spaghetti of The SUPERSUCKERS, HELLSTOMPER, BEFORE I HANG, POLECAT BOOGIE REVIVAL, and many,many more!!!!!
Also out now from Zodiac Killer Records is the long out of print actual LAST recording of the late great GG ALLIN. GG ALLIN & The CAROLINA SHITKICKERS is back out on 7” red vinyl with a new cover layout. These wont last long so order it up today!

My humble apologies to everyone who has ordered from the site and had to wait so long to get their shit. I will have that under control here soon as well.

It looks like it could be June or later for the JEFF CLAYTON & The MONGRELS ep to come out. We’ll keep ya posted.

For those of you who miss the greatness of Hellstomper & Polecat Boogie Revival, be sure to check out Alan King & the Beer Drinking Christians on MySpace. We here in ANTiSEEN wish the King and his Miss’ the best of luck on their relocation to the western USA. The South will miss you Mr. King.

Here are a few things to think about that are in the planning stages at the moment….All wrestling songs comp CD, NEW Antiseen EP, split 10” with The DEAD KINGS, Vinyl release of THE BEST OF,

Well, damn…I guess that’s it for now. Be sure to keep checking the site for updates and show listings as we will be playing up and down the East Coast and Mid West all summer long.

Hope to see ya’ll at the shows,

PAST NEWS - Winter 2008 / 2009:

Hello friends and fans!

Here's whats coming up in the next few months in our camp:

The first of the new releases you “should “ be seeing will be the ANTiSEEN / BRODY'S MILITIA split 7” on HAUNTED HOTEL Records out of New York. Our side features a demo version of Black Flag's FIX ME along with some raw live tracks from a show in Raleigh, NC and some other surprises. The cover is one of the best yet with art by Bill Hauser.

Next The JEFF CLAYTON & the MONGRELS ep is finishing up and will be released by Steel Cage Records out of Philadelphia. The ep will have three songs, 1. IF I HAD A THOUSAND DOLLARS (Rupture) , 2. NEED IT BAD (Mad Brother Ward), and 3. WARHERO (Antiseen) plus it will come with a download card that will allow you to download the ep plus two bonus tracks 1. PSYCHO ( Sonics) and 2. THE WOLFPACK RIDES THE NIGHT (Simon Stokes).

Also on Steel Cage in early to mid 09 will be the release of the 25th YEAR ANTiVERSARY show DVD!

I am pleased to announce that we have also joined the roster of ZODIAC KILLER RECORDS and will be part of the DRINK, FIGHT & FUCK compilation due out in Feb.

We will be submitting our version of the Sex Pistols “ BELSEN WAS A GAS ”. There are more projects lined up as well but it may be a bit early to discuss those right now, maybe in the next update. This track will mark the recording debut of the new line up that consists of  Jon Bowman on bass and Phil Keller on drums.

There is so much more on the back burner from TKO & Steel Cage which I will let you know about on the next update once everything is more concrete.

This year will also see many more split singles and new, original tracks for eps and the new lp.

Keep an eye on the shows section on the front page cuz starting in January we will be playing somewhere every month all this year with an extended tour planned in April to the great state of TEXAS!!!  We are working with BUCKET CITY booking now so if you want us in your town get in touch with Christian Brooks through the link on the front page.

Remember, if you happen to be in the Lenoir, North Carolina area, stop by and see Joe & BBQ Young at their music store REPO DEPOT @ 2311 Morganton Blvd., Lenoir, NC.

Til next time,
