Dispatch 20: HMS "Sight Unseen" and "Advice for Young People" Videos are off the Hook!!

Dispatch 20: Not recommended for those with weak hearts or those weak at heart! Her Majesty theE Spleen making it intense with "Sight Unseen" and "Advice for Young People", a couple of psychedelic romps thru the nether worlds of our consciousness. Inhale. Hold. Exhale. (Repeat 4x then repeat).

 HMS is a music and art collective based in Oakland Ca., more specifically, at ACME House of Music. Spleen metamorphed in 2012  with myself, John Middle, Steve Moriarty and Ronzoni Calzone. Nowadays, Walter Nix inhabits most Spleen sessions. We record most of our open jams and then pull the "nuggets." John then takes those mixes and "spleens "them or processes them to become the HMS sound. We had one of the largest soundcloud uploaded track count last year, resulting in over a gig of music!
2016 is gonna be a fun year for HMS and MCL with plans in the works for a release or two! -Sammy

Dispatch 13: LEATHER PILLS - "I Just Wanna Die" video

Dispatch 13: I Just Wanna Die from the band's debut output called "Rats ep" (MCL2001). The vid was shot by a friend of Jed's(roomate to Mark, old friend to our old friend Bernie) at the historic Al's Bar in DT Los Angeles, Ca. in 2001. (It really was a west coast punk mecca. It was awesome).  The guys had a really nice digital camera and amongst alot of major league slackin' or as they called it "working on their screenplay,"  they decided to come along and film the gig. I edited it in 2015 from the only remaining copy available on VHS! Epic!
 We also did a gig in Ventura Ca.(a Pills stronghold in the southland) for Cornboy at a cafe that did all ages shows punk shows. We we're a few minutes late getting to the venue which allowed time for Candy's Ma to get all hepped up on good coffee! ("That's heavy sh*t, man!") We sold ALL the remaining merch we had in a matter of moments aftr that gig. We pulled an all-niter and partied with some of Ventura's finest til morning aftr that one!! Memorable mini-tour.
