LOW PROFILE NEWS -- JUNE 2007

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 20:32:00 GMT

we have been cranking away on writing and recording for a while now. for once we decided to take our time instead of kicking out an album in a few weeks (or 2 days like we used to do). on july 13th we go back again to lay down the bass/drums for the remaining songs. then we commence to work on guitars and vocals. this will be a sickeningly aweosme album, we have a bunch of guests lined up.

keith muck -- also of the cobs/unearthed elf/arctic sleep
johnny vomit -- of the band by the same name
joe reid -- of pie in the sky/laugh to scorn/half stachon

keith and john will be contributing vocals and joe is going to lay down some leads on an instrumental song he also helped write.

we have our 99th show ever coming up on 7-7-7 (july 7th). it will be way down south in frankfort and we will be honored to be accompanied again by the great johnny vomit. after that we are looking forward to a high probabilty that our 100th show will be also our CD release.

so stay tuned for the announcement for the album being completed and a date being set for the cd release.

LOW PROFILE NEWS -- JULY 2006

Fri, 21 Jul 2006 03:56:00 GMT

1) SHOWS
saturday july 22nd -- underground lounge -- around clark and belmont -- with rocky denis
show will kick massive ass

saturday july 29th -- mutiny -- fullerton/western -- with shooting blanks
this is at least the 10th time weve played with shooting blanks and at least the 10th time weve played the mutiny. 2 things that never seem to get old

2) MERCHANDISE
new DVD is completed. 'Low Profile Concert Archives'. contains endless footage from shows and rehersals from our early days, 98-2000. also has the entire show with restored audio from riverpalooza III, a show that was already immortailized in live digital audio on our 1st live CD, already and has been available on cdbaby http://www.cdbaby.com/lowprofile6. plus you get a full length commentary track from the band, plus commentaries on select footages elsewhere on the dvd. we also has a grip of double DVDs, that contain this bitch plus our 1st DVD 'live @ afternites'. we will be giving those away at shows no doubt, the non-double DVDs will be available on cdbaby for $5 by the end of the week, or next week at the latest.

new stickers will be printed next week for certain by our sloth-like friends at sticker guy. maybe (probably not) we will have them for the mutiny show. you can peep teh design here http://www.lowpro708.com/pics/merch/sticker5.jpg for once we tried to get them made thru another place so it wouldnt take so goddamned long and we just got the runaround. alas, that matters nil currently. they will be done soon.

and of course we got mad shirts and CDs as always. if you want shirts come to a show. if you want CDs you can get them at a show or better yet fucking buy them off our site you cheap fucks.

3) NEW MATERIAL
we got 4 new songs, the first 4 songs weve written since our last album from 2004. it truly kills and we will be playing 3 of em at our next 2 shows listed above. go peep out our forum and watch me and hilger swap riffs in mp3 format over the inter-web and concoct the songs one step at a time. you can peep disjointed riffs i laid down at 640am when i got up for work, cause i woke up with them banging around my otherwise empty head. we are working on some musical guests and collaborations for this upcoming album (by the end of the year) and so far mr. keith muck of the cobs/FFFFFFFFF/artic sleep/unearthed elf is definately confirmed and slated to give us some vocals on a song. there will be others as well. maybe even you you ugly fuck.

4) DRINKING PROBLEM
i have one, its sort of unmanagable as well. expereience it first hand at a show or stop by my dump and recieve a complimentary shoe up the ass.

5) RIP TO SOME OF THE GREATEST BANDS IN CHICAGO'S HISTORY
if that sounds like an overstatement, take solace in the fact your head is up your fucking ass. three of the bands i respect and enjoy most have called in quits in the past year, less then that actually. first up was the rules of attraction. i was very fucking fortunate to be able to share the stage with these guys who were truly my fucking idols before i even knew how to play a fucking guitar. check out their site before it diseappears as im sure it eventually will http://www.rofarock.com.

next up was the mighty phenoms. i asked these guys to play a show with me about 12343 times and either got a NO or no answer at all. but i dont hold it against em becuase they were/are/always will be that fucking good. the drummer of the next band told me once that they were the best band in chicago. i thought about that statement for a few seconds when he made it and quickly agreed. they are playing 2 more shows before they kick the bucket. take advantage or miss out, your loss jerkoff. http://www.thephenoms.com

that man is ross woods, he was the drummer for the powerknobs. we played with these guys 10 times and they were truly our partners in crime. there are few bands we have played with where you know all the members of both bands are totally on the level with each other and get along that goddamn well. i went to strip clubs with these guys and did all types of debauched shit. they were truly fucking unbelievablly talented and skilled and the best group of people i have met amongst this sewer infested chicago music scene. i dont even know the details of this one, its breaking news to me as well. all i know is that they will be missed. but more importantly, becuase i could give a fuck about the rest of the world, I will fucking miss them. http://www.powerknobs.com

the scene is a blackhole without these bands. but thats ok, becuase even in our advanced age and my advanced alcoholism and emotional problems, low profile is ready to step up and fill the black hole with heaps of steaming dog shit. come out to the shows and get a shovelful. i hate you all and hope you die. ill take many of you with me. take solace in that.

enjoy the dog shit,

LOW PROFILE NEWS -- MAY 2006

Thu, 04 May 2006 03:32:00 GMT

what up people. we got a show. a BIG one. you see, low profile in our extensive careers has never been about following what the scene and other bands dictate. now no doubt we will take shows whereever but ive been hard at work behind the scenes on busting wide open a new area and a new club.

the club is called LOT 4.
its in CHICAGO RIDGE.
thats the southwest side of chicago motherfuckers. champs sucks, we played there twice and its wack. i wanted a new place to tear up. ive got people who got people to help make these wild ideas of mine happen. they are now reality. to be honest go ahead and ignore this email, ive already guarenteed a draw far beyond your weak understanding. and that draw will give me free booze and alot of females and more shows. you are getting this email because i want you to be a part of that. take advantage

the show is this friday, may 5th. thats cinco de mayo, so any mexicans feel free to abstain from the gig in favor of pinatas or whatever it is you do. otherwise come down to the SW side. specifically -- 10139 s. harlem. thats around 101st and harlem if you are retarded and/or new to the area. its $5 to get in and the shit kicks off around 10pm.

heres the flyer http://www.lowpro708.com/pics/shows/flyers/84flyer.jpg
big up to mike from the rules of attraction for his awesome art skills making that shit.

opening for us is the great STEVE GATTERMEYER BAND. they are from ohio yet this is the 3rd time we have played with them. how? becuase i pull international clout! they will play, then low profile will tackle a 15 song+ set. after that im going to grab a mic personally and perform some of the material from my solo hiphop release. this is the 1st ever live performance of satan165 with only beats and a mic. it wont be the last, not by a long shot. buy my record here http://cdbaby.com/cd/satan165

i got a guy coming out from the chicago reader to interview me for my association to the 40oz crew. thats right, i didnt say A 40oz crew, i said THE 40oz crew. there is a difference
http://www.40ozmaltliquor.com
http://www.40ozcrew.com

we are working with john brey of shooting blanks on the treatment for a music video for 'will to kill', from our last album 'get it RiGht, keep it RiGht'. we have a DVD already done full of a ton of old shows and rehersals, including the bulk of riverpalooza III, which we released the audio of as a live album long ago
http://cdbaby.com/cd/lowprofile6 that shit is already done and will be released soon, hopefully with the music video. stay tuned.

so swing thru and give the props that i deserve. id ask you to buy me drinks but dont worry about that, my shit is comped. bring some hoes with you, offer them to me or they will be taken by me or my entourage either way. id ask you to bring drugs too a but i steer away from that shit now.

come greet me and dont come at me wrong or youll feel the shank hidden in my waistband.

see ya at lot 4 or better yet why dont you just die.

Thu, 16 Mar 2006 18:57:00 GMT

whats up people. some of you may have gotten a mailer earlier this month, we were having alot of technical issues with our new web host then as far as the mailing list goes. ive upgraded and changed so much stuff to make this easier to do on my end and to make sure it works right and finally everything is squared away. sorry for the inconvieience, i know some of you got some 'gibberish' emails and other junk too, i promise you all that is done.

enough!

we have 2 awesome shows coming up:
1) mutiny -- march 18th (this saturday!) w/ after the fight and sad hannah. this show will be dope as fuck. both bands rule as does the mutiny. need i say more? of course its free and it starts around 9pm. see ya there!

2) pc lounge, boilingbrook -- april 1st. w/ shooting blanks, after the fight and highball. this is a new venue, which we intend to turn out and 'break in' with some bone records debauchery. be there or die!

LOW PROFILE NEWS -- FEB. 2006

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 19:14:00 GMT

greetings all

its been a hot minute since you heard from satan165. amongst the reasons why, of late i have wrestled with many mailing list issues. please accept my forgiveness for any BS emails you may have recieved saying you were subscribed/unsubscribed, etc.... we changed servers and i transfered the whole list but the new mailing list service sucked. so i got yet another one. now all is well.

as if you wanted to hear about that crap.

lets get down to business!!!! first of all, we got a show this saturday the 25th at the mutiny. the mutiny is located at fullerton/western and like all shows at ed's fine establishment there is NO COVER to get in. we will be accompanied with an all star revue including the symptoms (our 5th time with those guys) and also vacation bible school and lesser events. big up to donny from lesser events for offering us the show. this will be our 7th time at the mutiny and i look forward to redeeming myself personally after a disasterous performance at our last gig last fall when i suffered from a nervous breakdown of sorts.

you may be wondering whats going on with low profile since its been so long since you heard from us.

well i recently completed work on a full length hiphop album which you can purchase here
http://www.cdbaby.com/satan165
it was a pleasure to make and something i had been working towards for a few years at least. expect another full length before 2006 is up, probably long before that. and check out http://www.satan165.com for more info on the album and all my hiphop related shit.

rob is working on a 'studio drummer' gig with our engineer (and also the engineer for the satan165 LP), scott herschler. rob will appear on 3 songs for scott's upcoming 4th album! stay tuned for info on its release and go buy some of scott's other shit here:
http://cdbaby.com/all/scotth

recently tho i have been becoming more inspired along the lines of good old punk rock and getting back to the roots of low profile. we are currently re-working our original material from '98 and having alot of fun doing it.

we have another gig april 1st which will be a bone records showcase of sorts, with shooting blanks, after the fight and highball. go hit up http://www.bonerecordschicago.com right now!!!
that gig will be at the PC lounge in boilingbrook, see our site for more info and check us out at this new venue!

weve got some cool shit lined up for 2006 outside of live performance, stay tuned for more info on that.

we will have a bunch of new merch, hopefully/probably as early at this weekends show. so hit us up if you want some either at the show or thru email or whatever.

thats it for now, hope to see you this saturday the 25th at the mutiny!
