WELL FOLKS, Chris will be back soon from his punk rock across the nation, we have a sweet tour in october coming up, northwest will get crushed by us and dick tongue, sorry between tongues. In other news i finally got my new emperor cabinet, unfortunately this thing would have had to sound like Jimi Hendrix playing with the beard of zeus for me to be satisfied with it being so damn late so in the mean time im getting used to it and playing it along side other things to clutter the fact that it doesnt sound as good as i hoped and im on the fence on the speakers and the whole custom wait forever cab idea when i could have just bought a JCM 800 and killed everyone. WE shall soon figure it all out, but look out for it at shows.

John got a new amp too, his is a VOX AC30 preamp going thru mercury magnetic transformers to sound like the best thing gary donovan has ever created. He now has two huge beasts to kill you with as well, he just needs new back muscles to carry it all... See you in the fall

13 SHOWs in 30 days, kicked ass, thanks to all the bands promoters and rad people including the old guy at henflings in ben lomond, that helped out, listened, rocked, we loved it. In the meantime we are taking 6 weeks off from shows as our drummer Chris is on tour with the Re-Volts and Phenomenauts. So if you like rockabilly and punk go check it out and yell tigon during the whole set. We will be back with great shows in sept and a northwest tour in october

LYRICS FOR SEVEN INCH

2009-06-23T01:28:00.000-07:00

side A

PROUD AMERICANS
Well, good evening friends. Gather around. This is religious subversion zero hour. Where social depravity is our finest grain of discovery. Tell your mothers and fathers that virginity is a past time. And your daughters are peeling the foreskin from the young at heart. They are the cause for it all.

You broadcast sin and delusion.
You make them believe.

Houses will crumble and towers will fall.
And all will be well.

You broadcast sin and delusion.
You make them follow and worship and believe.

Feed your television.
Starve your children.
Bleed them dry.

side B

MONARCH
Hey!
Is anybody out there?
Can you hear the screams?
Hours spent sinking into this deep sea sleep.
Where nothing, where no one can hear the screams.
Hours spent diving into this deep sea sleep.
And honestly we're just make believe.
Coming up for air in between the sighs of relief.

I keep these dirty thoughts to myself.
There is no escape.

Can you hear the screams?

And are you feeling alone?

If you are alone, don't let it in.
If it screams, don't let it in.
And the night will never end.
Don't you let it in.

Is anybody out there?
Anybody?

Are you feeling alone tonight?

TEENAGEBLACKHOLE
Are you lost
Are you rotting inside
And are you sick of sucking the flesh you walking disease.
With scabs on your tongue.

Fetish born.
Bondage queen.
You little piece of teenage meat.

Sell your body.

Pose
Smile
Spit
Swallow

Why are you doing these things to yourself

Why are you doing this to yourself

FIRST LEG OF TOUR COMPLETED!

2009-06-23T01:04:00.000-07:00

Yes, and yes, and more yes. Our first tour has kicked off, and the first leg has come to an end, swiftly and justly. We would like to thank all the rad bands we got to meet and play with, and to everyone that stuck around and covered their ears as they watched us, and for clapping at the end of songs, or walked away because we're too loud, and for buying our records and shirts and taking our free buttons. Thanks to 215 Storey house in Santa Cruz for being so kind to us. We had an exceptional time, and we're excited for our week long jaunt coming up. So once again a kind and heartfelt thank you to all.....

Gay Men Of Tigon.... Assemble!
