Diagram A + Gastric Lavage - Forced March

The joining of two of Western Mass's most beloved institutions. Nothing here but the best. You get Dan Greenwood's sputtering and squealing homemade electronics, Chris Dooley's obliviated guitar feedback, shitty keyboard beats, deathly growls and quick n' nasty edits make this short 20 minute (?) tape crucial old school noise. Fast paced and dynamic. There's hints of metal abuse in the feedback. These men are insane.

Xeroxed, single-sided insert and spray painted case.

This one's for the purists.

GASTRIC LAVAGE "Bloody Knuckles" c31 (Yod Tapes)

Chris Dooley! There are legends in western mass about him. Hell, there are legends all over the world about him, for real, whenever I go on tour and tell people I'm from Western Mass they're like "oh yeah, you know chris dooley?"! It's rumored there are multiples, people will see him skateboarding while he's on the radio and working at a flywheel benefit two cities away. He has an absolutely insatiable appetite for making things happen. That manic energy is maybe a little muddy in the tape but you can definitely tell that he's really having a go at it, totally shredding up guitars (and curbs!), screaming with a winter hat pulled over his face into an amp for 45 second before ripping one of the most unusual / intense drum solos ever (though the drums on this tape i believe are played by Andy Kivela).

The title of Bloody Knuckles for this tape is totally apt, there's even a sound clip of Chris saying "oh shit, are you alright, do you need a towel or something." Everything is shredded to pieces and flying, confetti style, in the air as Dooley lets his legendary energy loose on this c31.
