Victims Family + Fleshies + Pins of Light @ Elbo Room in January!!!

Ralph — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:23:35 +0000

Thanks for coming to the Elbo room in January!!! Rocking show!!!!

By the way, thanks to everyone who came to the San Francisco Rock Project Winter Holiday Rock Prom and Auction, everyone who donated their time and everyone who helped us raise money so, among other things, Larry and I can keep our day jobs. No word on how much was raised yet, but we did pretty well and I had a blast learning some DK’s songs I didn’t know before and watching the SFRP kids do some serious rocking. One highlight: talking with Adam Savage between his emcee duties and then getting on a plane the next morning and seeing his action figure for sale in the Sky Mall magazine….

Happy New Year!!!!
Love, Ralph

Dear VF Fans and Friends,
We are sorry to report that Victims Family will not be able tour Europe as planned this spring. This decision was not easy to make as VF has never canceled a tour and we are so sorry to disappoint our fans, but financial pressures and logistical problems make it impossible for us to come to Europe at this time. We hope to return to Europe in the Fall. Stay tuned. Thank you to Macario for all of his hard work.

We hope to use the time this spring and summer to work on new material with an eye toward a new album, reissue “Things I Hate To Admit” with St. Rose Records and to play shows in California. So that’s the silver lining at least for fans here in the west will will be playing some shows. If you want to book a Victims Family show please write to me
Victims Family Booking That goes for shows anywhere in the world, let us know and we’ll see if we can make it happen. OK? OK.

White Bread Blues REISSUED!!!

Ralph — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:44:10 +0000

2010 marks the twentieth anniversary of our album White Bread Blues, long out of print in the US. Once again available thanks to Saint Rose Records.

Originally spewed forth upon the unsuspecting populace in 1990, this acid-drenched, sugar cubic, schizophrenic monstrosity is finally available again!

It sounds like the band had one foot in the “Voltage And Violets” era, with the other extending towards what what would later comprise their sound on later A.T. releases, a la “The Germ” or “Headache Remedy”.

If this album doesn’t make you want to take hallucinogens and dance naked in the forest, absolutely nothing will!
Comes on exquisite blue/white marbled vinyl, with an accompanying CD of the entire album, pics of a very young looking VF, old flyers, extensive liner notes from NoMeansNo, Les Claypool, and much, much more! Also includes the classic “Sinatra Mantra,” available for the first time on vinyl as a bonus track!

Click here to buy it from Saint Rose Records!!!
