<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On their 5th full length album, Amnesia Haze, the group set out to deal with some serious shit. The band entered the studio 2 days after the Presidential election. With disgust and uncertainty driving the session the lyrics had changed and the performances intensified. What was once abstractly political had become unapologetically direct. Racial violence, gun violence, police violence, street harassment, xenophobia, fascism, feminism, every point of rage and discourse the country was feeling. Patriarchal Reptile, a free-noise piece voiced by Theremin player Alison Hunger, was recorded and added to the album last minute as a response to the thin-skinned gynophobiac set to lead our country. Amnesia Haze is a cry for unity and awakening from a band sick of fucking around.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">On Martin Luther King, Jr., day we commemorate the Presidential Inauguration of Donald J. Trump and the Women’s March on Washington, D.C. by streaming 2 new songs by the Velcro Lewis Group. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">The future-funk anthem, “Free”, calls out Trump and the blood thirsty racists that love him. “Patriarchal Reptile” is an abrasive feminist rant aimed at the puny pussy-grabbers who’s superiority complexes mask their true fear; women. </span><br />
<br style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">As the Trump regime begins to dig its disease-ridden claws into our nation’s freedom many of us fear for our health and safety. The Republican agenda has been crafted to oppress the rights of black and brown people, women, LGBT, and the disabled. The rest of the country will become collateral damage while the GOP scorches the Earth. Before the eminent war on art begins and freedom of speech becomes a punchline the Velcro Lewis Group wanted to tell you something: The partys over. Now is not the time to stay in bed. Now is not the time to cry. It is time to call out every enemy that threatens our country. Mitch McConnell & Paul Ryan, the NRA & the MRA, and every bastard in-between - we’re going to hold your feet to the fire until you listen or someday you'll fall into the flames.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #efefef; color: #363636; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 15px;">The Trump agenda and the policies it embraces are now a horrifying reality, one that poses serious threats to the planet and millions of Americans...especially women, immigrants, refugees, all people of color, indigenous people, Muslims, LGBTQ Americans, and many others. That's why we've chosen to put together this phenomenal compilation of music from an enormo-array of BBiB artists, all who've provided a really wonderful, rare piece of music. All proceeds from this compilation will go to two organizations, the ACLU and Sierra Club, as they tirelessly fight for the rights of all walks of life and the future of the planet.</span><br />

It was written and recorded on January 15,2015.<br />
The first single is "Tears Are Gone."<br />
The <a href="https://youtu.be/3ceOVvPyDoI">video</a> was made by <a href="http://www.suzymae.com/">Suzy Mae</a>.<br />
<br />
Ok, those are the facts, now here's the truth...<br />
<br />
We went into the studio to jam out some ideas for the next Velcro Lewis Group album.<br />
Forbes was hanging out at <a href="http://http"//www.facebook.com/froggmountain">Frogg Mountain</a> smoking tea and tuning an electric piano with a ball peen.<br />
Since we didn't want to kick him out (he is our buddy) we asked him to join us in our session.<br />
The result is "<b>Seismic Alphabet</b>", 8 songs, 45 minutes long.<br />
You know some folks use ALL the parts of the pig? Bacon, ham, feet, snout scrapple?<br />
Well, we used every damn part of this session on this record.<br />
Basically, all the songs were written on the spot with a little bit of overdubbing after the fact.<br />
This album will show just how we operate.<br />
We jam, give Hawk a mic while he drums, Velcro comes up with some silly theme for the jam and there's your cookie.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Everyone loves a remix.
Whether its the extended club-dub 12 inch mix of Shannon’s “</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCn0cA4pAxo"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Let
The Music Play</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">” to the first ever mash-up,
“</span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcJTioKULCQ"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Rebel Without A Pause</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">”, by The Evolution Control Committee, most weirdoes
agree that remixes are fun. We hear at the Velcro Lewis Group could take ‘em or
leave ‘em but we are intrigued by prospective madness our fans could create if
given the right tools and a little encouragement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">In September, the Velcro
Lewis Group released the single, “<a href="https://beyondbeyondisbeyondrecords.bandcamp.com/album/jingle-jangle-morning">Jingle Jangle Morning</a>.” The song has been a
staple of the band’s live performance for years and honestly, we’re getting
kind of bored with it. So, now seems like the perfect time to host a re-mix
party!. Let’s breathe some new life into this jam.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">“Sounds fun, right?” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">“Sure.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">We’ve made it easy to create your
own mix of “Jingle Jangle Morning.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Send an email <a href="mailto:velcrolewis@gmail.com">HERE</a> and
we’ll send you a link to download the file folder. We will also send some words
of encouragement to help you define your mix. Something like: “Rufus Thomas
playing tennis in a spacesuit” or “High tea with a man-sized cockroach.” It’ll
be your choice to follow our lead or not. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

When we were asked to write the theme to a new television pilot we didn’t know what to think.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
All the we knew was that it was called, “NOW WHAT?” and that it was a sit-com featuring Jeremy Piven. The good people at the CW called us Thursday afternoon (Jan 15/last night) and wanted a demo by this afternoon (Friday Jan 16). So we spent 6 minutes on it and here’s what we came up with… </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
Just 6 minutes after we submitted the song to the producer of the show we received this response:</div>

<div>
We've launched a collaborative video project!</div>
<div>
We jam all the time, endless hours of great material. Some of it too long, some of it too short, all of it outstanding.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In order to justify the release of these jams and to make it seem a little less self-indulgent, we've invited some of our favorite video artists to pair some image to our sounds.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First up we have "Whirlwind".</div>
<div>
<a href="http://vimeo.com/user6540104">Frank Pollar</a>d made the video.</div>
<div>
The band recorded the jam on December 11, 2014. Each jam will be recorded and composed live on the spot with as little overdubbing as possible (sometimes you've just got to add the vocoder after the fact. The jam sessions are recorded at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/FroggMountain">Frogg Mountain Studios</a> by John Forbes and Velcro Lewis.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We encourage everyone to turn the volume down on our videos and add your own soundtrack. Play <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFBt6QTgcPY">Donnie Iris</a> over it or something. The Magic Box always works!</div>
