Yesterday we shot a video for my new song which will be featured on the new Fist Fam mixtape available in the next couple of weeks.  

The video, filmed by my homie Ariel Soto, featured plenty of the local wildlife as we strolled unannounced through the TL.

J Eaze, Philo, John Boy, TJ, & Keefer happened upon the shoot along with hilarious baseheads and triple OGs.

Afterwards, we drank 40s and watched hours of old videos on youtube hooked up through my projector, including Domino, MC Eight, The Bums, & Jim Carrey’s Vanilla Ice & Snow impersonations.  Later on we headed up to the Beat Battle at the Element Lounge and did what we always do at these functions, drank out front with Gurp City.  Thuggy Fresh, Eddie K, & SergDun all joined us for sidewalk chatter, as we dug ourselves deeper into the drank.  Anyway, its the fourth so Ima head to Dolores Park for a cookout and hipster clownfest.  Be safe today yall, PEACE!

Its true.  At least it used to be.  Living on Sevier Street we gave em all types of good reasons.  This one lady was such a typical case of a young bored housewife who prolly hadnt been laid in a good while.  She treated it like a personal war, and on several occasions we drunkenly told her to her face how ridiculous and unattractive she was.  She called the cops so often that eventually an officer was assigned to our street, I forget his name, but he was a classic of his own.  Anyway, Philo decided to make another quick album because of some good reason, other than a passion for music, that I cant recall right now.  This one was loosely based around Texas’ screwed style.  With tons of guest appearances on 18 tracks, “My Neighbors Hate Me” is another part of classic Fistory.  From the bottom of Philo’s heart, he presents to you this free download.  Enjoy.

Turns out we’ll be releasing a mixtape in the next coupla weeks entitled, thats right “The Chicken Bus to Happy Town” featuring a gang of jackin for beat tracks and a couple that got cut from the album.  Also, Mr Popular just added another night to the Fist Family Reunion tour with Wednesday July 23, at the Emerald Lounge with him and Al Lover spinnin records for the lushes of Asheville.  Also, Id like to say happy born day to our homie Ted Harper back home.  Another year of defaced dolls and genuine creep-outs.  I got another full album download on the way so sit tight.  Till then be safe.

Goin to practice.  Recorded new solo song.  Shooting video Thursday.  Need a beer.  Over and out.  

P.S. Old shit…

I made the flyer for the Bele Chere shows today as you can see.  Weve been struggling for months over what name to use for the new album.  Moonshine Country, The Case of the Missing Liquor, and several others have been fighting to the bloody end, and it has become a joke at this point.  While making the flyer today I wanted to put a faux cover on it to advertise the new album, so I came up with this.  Im just throwing it out there so lets see how everyone feels about it.  ”Drunk Again” simple, sweet, and honest.  Lemme know what you think.

So Ive been pretty busy organizing the music pages and such, and putting stickers up on every SF corner lately.  Check out the store, downloads, music, and art pages and let me know what you think.  Im happy to announce that the new album is done and in the mastering process, and upon return from the NC trip, I will be finishing up the artwork for it so, it looks like August is the big month.  A bunch of songs were cut, mostly due to length, so keep checking back for those and more.  For now, heres a beautiful ode to one of our favorite drinks, and P Diddys, from our good friends Al Lover & Harvey Merkulson.

I updated the flyers section again today, check it out…

Its always a good idea to use the making of a video as an excuse to have a party at someone else’s house. Especially when the last one left yours wrecked for weeks after. No, we didnt have a story or a plan for this one, but I love the way it turned out. To us it was funny because the song is so mean, that we were inspired to get gangsta on the video, but none of us could bring ourselves to take it too seriously, so… Here it is, the story of three friends who drank all their beer in the studio one day, and were driven to rob the frat boys across the street of theirs, and get the party started. It looks silly at times because it is. We had a great time making it, and like I said, were given a perfect excuse to have a party at Yeti & Linus’ crib down the street. I think my favorite part is us busting our asses in the back of the pickup when we take off. Good stuff.  Ah man, watching this again makes me real nostalgic. See ya in a few weeks you assholes!  Anyway, here it is again for yall who missed it.

“Fasho”  IRONFIST ft Harvey Merkulson prod. by Philo circa 2005 I think.
