Cold Craving: Reach Down

June 2012 Facts n’ Fun Craving!!!1

A few updates on the Cold Craving front, as well as some extraneous information in the spirit of transparency:

• Getting Frostimental is on hold for summer 2012 as we accidentally wrote a few songs that sort of go in the same flow, by accident. We’ll release that in July instead. Boo hoo.
• Our last van is now a cube
• 100% pro-Ignorant Hardcore, all members of a crew known to the initiated as Fartcrew
• We are playing a “surprise” set at Ghost Throats this year. Boo hoo
• Will “Lead Fumes” Bjorndahl builds pedals
• We formed in 1992 but our first show was in a church in 2009. Prior to said show Cold Craving was a boom-box black metal project called Dermighbrechkallet
• Rod (our dreadlocked bass-holder and patchouli manufacturer) is taking a sabbatical from Cold Craving for the summer of 2012 to plant trees and eat bugs (pictured without his trademark Cup-n-Ball)
  

  

• James MacKenzie has runners knee
• Each Cold Craving song is artisanally handcrafted from designer Koa wood that is illegal in North America
• Speaking in the third person is a riveting and thoughtful way to purvey a narrative about yourself or your shitty band
• 100% pro-Mysterious Guy Hardcore, I wore a garbage bag for two days straight once
• Our band is in fact sponsored by Fender Electric Instruments. We’ve been collecting cheques from them since 1965
• Without cats, our lives would be meaningless and incomplete

Before you post a song on the internet, or make something creatively in the comfort of your own home, or play a riff in front of your stoned bandmates, always make sure you ask yourself “why would I care about what an objective observer thinks of this?” and I mean that seriously. Make sure you understand, every time, that the hardest part about “expressing yourself” isn’t actually plucking strings or painting or curating a dumbass blog or knitting sweaters for jesus, it’s doing it with absolutely no regard for the ramifications of that creativity - only regard for the act itself

Getting Frostimental

A song a month. Or something. Whatever. LPs are too expensive, I’ll just put stuff here.

anyone want to hear a new Cold Craving song?
