Looking forward to reading your thoughts, Mike. Am I right in thinking that you play in a band yourself? (I did, once -- people said we were crap but we were actually just before our time.
)

It's not every day you get to accept a story by the lead actor in The Gate and The Gate II. Baph now makes dark, underground music as xaos, and I thought you might like to give it a whirl. Best place to start I suppose is the xaos website. Chodpa by Baph Tripp, illustrated by Rik Rawling, will appear in Black Static issue 29. |

I didn't really mean to post just news, but hoped that the BS reader might be interested enough to check out Baph's music as well. |

Andy, yes, the band is called The Deadlines. (We all worked at the same newspaper). Basically a garage band doing covers of The Who, Bad Company, Stones, U2, Psychedelic Furs, Neil Young, Pink Floyd, etc. |

Baph's music is pretty dark, to be sure. Rather doom-laden. Listening to a couple samples, I felt my heart race, and blood quicken. Pretty effective, I'd say, though I did find that too many of the songs relied on the same beat/cadence. My favourites were Walking Dead, Utopiate, and 'i am not.' Well worth a listen. |

Thanks for the 'plug', Andy. It would certainly be interesting to see if people who enjoy the kind of fiction that some find dark and/or disturbing would get something out of music that is the same. (And, of course, I hope everyone can take something away from the story you've accepted into your fine pages) Cheers! |
