TRICLOPS! //// ED MUDSHI //// SELECTA BLOODY

A PROPOS DE TRICLOPS! Triclops! began in 2005 as an experiment in trans Bay friendship. Christian Beaulieu from San Francisco's Bottles and Skulls bravely chose to collaborate with cross town rival/would-be-ally Johnny from Oakland's Fleshies. They made a tape with echo-laden guitars and drums, the vocals run through broken solid state amps with phaser explosion. The duo attacked noise pedals/tape loops/randomly modified guitars and began to realize the band required a rhythm section.

Finding their native punk scene poached dry of experimental-friendly comrades, they randomly responded to a Craigslist ad and struck gold in a brutally talented drummer named Phil from the defunct band Lower Forty-Eight. By January of 2006 they called out to megaveteran bass player Larry Boothroyd (of Victim's Family/Hellworms/Saturn's Flea Collar fame) and Triclops! was born, a mutation of this hybrid gene pool.

In August 2006, Triclops! recorded the Cafeteria Brutalia EP (w/ engineer Phil Manley of Trans Am, Fucking Champs, Golden) for renowned Chicago indie label SickRoom. It was also released on picture disc format on with a 12" Picture Disc version on Missing Finger Records from Brooklyn. On September 9th, 2007 Gold Standard Labs (original home of Mars Volta, the Locust, !!!, and many others) ended its long run as an active label with the Triclops! picture disc 7 inch "Too Many Humans".


In this short but productive existence, Triclops! Has shared the stage on some exciting and diverse show bills with bands such as Acid Mother's Temple, Don Caballero, Big Business, Pinhead Gunpowder, Melvins, Comets on Fire, and Circle. The group has toured with 400 Blows, QUI (David Yow of The Jesus Lizard) Federation X, Burning Brides, The Hanson Brothers, Ho-Ag, and The Arrivals, and played the GSL showcase at SXSW 2007 to a packed house at Emo's. Fall 2007 had the quartet in NYC for the CMJ Music Marathon and then to Gainesville, Florida for the No Idea Fest 6. Triclops! released "Out Of Africa" on Alternative Tentacles on March 25th 2008, recorded with Melvins engineer Kurt Schlegel at his Lucky Cat Studio. Jello Biafra personally chased them down to secure the album's release on Alternative Tentacles Recordings; the album also came out in USB format as part of a hand-crafted Noize Toy created specifically for the band on Starcleaner. Since the album has come out, they have done two-and-a-half months of crisscrossing the United States on tour, playing tons of great shows with lots of good bands. They are currently writing new material and playing select shows, more info to come!
