Whew! If you don’t see a post for some time, it’s cause I’m cooking. Just spent the last week inking and coloring the flyer for our December 29th show at The Grey Eagle in Asheville which you can see below. Over Thanksgiving week Foul Mouth Jerk came to town, and between working my day job, drinking heavily, playing a show, and eating turkey we managed to completely record our collaboration with DJ Eons which we have decided to call Scoff Law. Shit is real dope, 8 tracks all together with a feature from Philo. I am about to begin mixing the album in the next couple of days. Speaking of new albums, I am making some headway with this Brycon collaboration which I’ll be focusing on completing in the next few weeks featuring a ton of cameos by local SF rappers and friends, and of course The Worst album, my collaboration with Al Lover, is super dope and coming along nicely. Look out for The Worst album to be released by SXSW in March. On top of all this Fist Fam are completing the final recordings on Saturday for our next AND LAST album ever entitled “Weekend Cult” produced by Optik, Boac, and Cutty Bang. I feel this is our finest piece yet and a great note to gracefully bow out on. Look forward to lots of weird new solo projects and collabos from all of us at Fist Family. Album release for “Weekend Cult” and going away party at the end of Febraury in SF at Elbo Room. Going away you say? Yeah, other big news. Both Philo and I have decided to make the move back home to the moonshine mountains of NC which continue to hold our hearts. I have a lot of great things planned upon my arrival so don’t think this means a lack of progression or work, quite the opposite. So there you have it, hella stuff and things. In the next couple of months I’m gonna have a lot of free music so watch out. Oh yeah and speaking of free music, here is a song Jay Eazy and I got drunk on e night and made over a Fatees beat, enjoy.

Newish Videos, Updates, Excuses and more

So yeah, been out the wordpress game for a while, but luckily for you it’s because I’ve been hella busy. My group Fist Fam have been promoting our newest album “Posted” with a slew of shows, press, and videos. Two of which said videos, previously not posted on this blog, can be found below. “SF Bay” was directed by our French rellies Kub & Cristo, and “Civilized Freakshow” was created by yours truly. I also have been writing like a psycho for a slew of new projects. First off, while on the subject of Fist Fam, we have a new album the “Panama Jack” EP which will be available for free download within the next couple of weeks. After that, Fist Fam has an entire LP recorded and in the mixdown stage which will lay ground for our brand new album we have been recording as of late produced by Cutty Bang, Optik One, and Boac. Besides all of that I have taken on a few solo projects. Where to start? OK, my rellie Foul Mouth Jerk and I have begun writing for a 7 song EP produced entirely by DJ Eons of Grand Invincible fame. Jerk is one of my oldest and closest friends so this project is way past due and so far it is sounding great. I am also working on an album with Al Lover who produced “Posted” and my double single “Part of the Game / All Mine” and has been gaining a lot of attention through his great instrumental releases the past couple of years. We like to call ourselves “The Worst” and are creating a project sampling contemporary garage and psych artists. I recorded the first song for this project last week called “Inebriology”. Expect super griminess, reverb, and distortion from this one. I have also begun work on a project with Brycon the concept of which is to provide myself the opportunity to create music with the artists who surround me in the Bay who I know but have had no chance to feature on projects. The first two songs “Keep Digging” and “Thief in the Night” are recorded, and more to come. Besides that, I received some great beats from Commissioner Gordon yesterday, who produced “SF Bay” so we’ll see where that leads and I have been recording for a slew of cameos on others albums including Grand Invincibles “Gurple Tape” project, Sequenced Mindset’s new album, a track with Youngin Go Hard, and two songs for Gurp City Canada. So yeah, I’ve been busy. Easy to say but, stay tuned and Ima have a gang of new music and updates ahead. I love yall, thank you for your continued support. Being an independent musician is not easy, we depend almost exclusively on our fans to spread the gospel and for that I thank you and promise not to disappoint.

All Mine

Gus Cutty — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 00:02:52 +0000

Alright, I finally finished writing my new song “All Mine” produced by Al Lover . It’s a classic tale really. One night while drinking at the bowling alley I meet a girl, we hook up and too quickly rush into a relationship, common issues arise, she becomes dependant and jealous, and so I begin to lie telling her I’m working when I’m actually hanging out with my friends, such as one night when while bowling I run into her making out with another man. Queue hook. At the bar, drowning my sorrows, confidence guttered, on gurp, I am seduced by a sketchy bar dweller, while hooking up, blacked out, I suffer what is commonly referred to as “whiskey dick”, bruising her ego and enraging her to the point of slandering my name about town, meanwhile I’m back at the bar drinking with my friends, determined not to repeat said incident I responsibly head home, and after climbing into my car, discover said psycho in my back seat. Queue final hook. Though a complete work of fiction, I’m sure many of us can relate to the themes involved. Al really destroyed this beat sampled off of the last track “Alone” on Ty Segall’s newest record Melted. Free download and complete lyrics coming soon.

Oh you support independent artists?

My two pennies go a little something like this. Whether you agree with the idea that our government is heading in the direction of a more socialized system or not, you must ask yourself a very important question. For many Americans, the majority I would gather from record sales, this point has little weight. But the fact remains that I know and have spoken to many intelligent citizens who are fans of and or friends with independent musicians and artists and yet stand against healthcare reform for several reasons. Which brings me to my point. In this country there are very few examples of independent artists with health insurance. This is a plain and simple fact. They simply cannot afford it, and as every year passes the opportunity shrinks. These companies are paying their CEOs billions of dollars for cutting corners with no regard toward humanity to ensure growth in their businesses. Meanwhile, the people who create most of the things that make life worth living for many of us are falling ill and dying of major diseases, leaving years of debt behind to their loved ones. Think about it. With fans like these, who needs enemies?
