the pungent sound

this from artiste, muso, bon vivant-raconteur, and hard-core haltomite raymond liberio:

As many of you know every year I make a trek up to the Northwest to visit with my old buddy and Indian Casino Records president Jack Bensonhurst in Seattle. Every year Jack and I party our asses off until we're almost dead and then roll some tape and record a song. The first year I went up there Jack and I witnessed a murder. True story. Some crack deal gone bad or whatever but we saw a guy get his throat slashed and then had to identify the dude that killed the other guy. We even saw the slashed guy i his death rattle. Not really pleasant at all but that's life and death for ya. It was my first trip to Seattle and nothing, not even witnessing a murder was going to ruin my vacation. I earned it! After the ending of lives and the capture of the other guy we went and had sushi. We recorded our first song entitled "Murder and Sushi" thus starting a tradition of recording a song together at the end of my visit. We have since lost Murder and Sushi and a few others in some moves and computer crashes but I thought it'd be nice to share what we've been working on for the last couple of years.

This year we had a Breathalyzer to document just how much damage we did to our bodies and how much over the legal limit we still were when we woke up the next morning. I believe at the height of recording these tracks both of us were blowing in the .33/.35 range so it's actually a miracle these songs even exist or were recorded at all.

We'll add a new one every year, but you can go ahead and make you pre-orders now for the album should be done around 2015.

Enjoy The Pungent Sound,
Ray and Jack
