PSYCHOTEX™ is proud to announce the first ever 45 from the premier 1980's Cowtown punk band, the Playthings. The songs, THE CHURCH OF GOD (the utterly indifferent) and I CAN'T FACE IT, were recorded in 1981 in Fort Worth, Texas. The original master tape laid rotting away in a box for the past 15 years until being mixed down for this special documentary project. From 1980-1984 the Playthings (Kevin E. White on screeching guitar & vocals, Bryan "Lizard" Massey on kick-ass drums and Rick "Luggy" Franklin on throbbing bass) played all the usual Dallas-Fort Worth haunts: ZERO'S, the HOT KLUB, Charlie's TWILITE ROOM etc. But the dumb bastards were too busy drinking, drugging and making noise to ever get a record done. This 45 now remedies that sad state of affairs. This 45 is pressed on clear vinyl with a striking yellow and red label. The music is loud, fast and hard. Anyone interested in the state of early 80's Texas punk music should not be without this seminal historic document.

...and here's the latest PsychoTex™ release of twisted noise/spoken word art on audiotape:

artkill

the rants of Tom Bruner
with the skewed guitar
of Kevin E. White

This cassette-only release contains five no-holds barred rants by the notorious Cowtown rantmeister guaranteed to sear a sonic hole in your cerebellum. The tape comes packaged in a plastic zip-lock bag with a special chap-book of words and art. Thomas R. Bruner and Kevin E. White have been performing throughout the Dallas/Fort Worth area and just recently returned from Longmont, Colorado where they were featured performers at the first International Drag Poets Ball. This way-out bag of aural art is available without a prescription from PSYCHOTEX™ at the address below. And now- free MP3's!

...and here's weasel boy's personal favorite:

brain damage

weasel boy gets together with some other Cowtown weird-os and makes some artsy-fartsy racket- say King Crimson meets Sonic Youth with a little noise-poetry & some insane rants thrown in just for the hell of it. good clean fun for the whole family... well, as long as they're twisted. nine nifty cuts guaranteed to please even the most discriminating eccentrics!
