C'est cheez!!

Big thanks to Andrew Carver for taking these shots from Saturday's show, and for having a totally awesome beard!

We interrupt our regular scheduled programming...

... to bring you a poster for Saturday's show:



We will have new merch designs available at the show, which have been described as "neato" and "radical" by a panel of impartial judges. Reviewing Saturday's setlist, it has been determined that our current set can be best described as old grindy doom milwaukee-core on the rocks.

As of press time, we are receiving unconfirmed reports that Mike will be protraying James Quall in the latter's upcoming biopic, The Step-Pepper's Wife.

... and now back to our regular scheduled fuckshow...

The Faux-jibwe

Just as the mohawk was revolutionized and sexified by hollywood as the faux-hawk, so to is the newest look of Musky-esque long hair and a moustache; known as the 'Faux-jibwe.' The look has been popularized by famous celebs such as John Depp, seen below promoting his new movie, and apperently supporting John Kerry for president. Will the style take off? - this blogger says maybe.

The Great Debate

There is a growing debate among music fans (even the dicks), as to whether or not Bison BC's Quiet Earth is the greatest album, or the greatest song. There is a convincing argument that Quiet Earth (album) is the greatest because of its kick-ass riffs; however many more are arguing that Quiet Earth (song) is the greatest because of its kick-ass riffs. This debate will likely go on for some time, unless it can be agreed that both positions are correct and that the previously stated structuralist dichotomy between Quiet Earth (album) and Quiet Earth (song), has deconstructed itself and undermined its own authority, implying that there was no rational thought in writing this in the first place...

Fatherhood

Congratulations Biipiigwan, on your new blog!

Biipiigwan Goes Emo!

Exciting (lamenting and sorrowful) news - Biipiigwan has gone emo! Our song titles are now the following:
Black Beaches and Black Seas of Sorrow
Vegan Sandwich Spread Heavily Salted By My Tears
The Self-righteous Battle Within
The Red Dagger of Sadness That Stabbeth At My Heart
Untitled ... (this one doesn't really change, but now the title is more ironic)
Crus-asphyxiation -or- Goth's Hooks

In other Biipiigwan news, Mike has been asked to leave the band for "persistent stupidity and inanity." He is now suing for legal custody of his bass.

Hadouken!!!

Sweet Metal Designs for the Working-man's Axe

I recently found a list of possible designs Musky is considering for his guitar (he recently borrowed one of my 'Two and a Half Men' DVD's, and accidentally left it in the case). I will share them with you; they are the following:
-crystal skull wearing a bejewelled crown (w/ ruby eyes)
-3 fanned out ace of spades on fire
-8-ball, surrounded by roses and four aces
-over-sized dice, w/ aces punctuated w/ ying-yangs
-a cartoon gecko
-crying Jesus (w/ mace and trident???)
-Pegassus mounting a dragon w/ dead snakes in its claws and a giant sword
-Ed Roth-style hot-rod w/ flaming wheels
-crystal ball surrounded by cloudy face and hands of gypsy
-woman dressed as gangster holding tommy gun
-Che Guevara holding a hammer and sickle drapped in Cuban flag
-pyramid w/ 'all-seeing eye'
-naval steering wheel w/ skull in centre
-the 'Om' surrounded by planets and stars

PS - At the bottom of the list was note that Musky intends to include along with the new design on his geeter. It reads as follows:
"Musky - you are a good person, and people like you - and even though Scotty says hurtful things sometimes, he doesn't mean them. Your pal, Musky."

Mekhaya CD release show

December 12 at Zaphod's (27 York St. Ottawa).

MEKHAYA
DID YOU JUST HEX ME?
BIIPIIGWAN

$5, doors at 8pm. Jouez le fuckin' metal!

In other news, I (Musky) taught my cat how to fetch today. The other cat knows how to high five. As soon as one of them learns the banjo, we're hitting the goddamn road.

Why?

Because this layout is cooler than blogging on Myspace. Might as well look good even if no one is paying attention.

BIIPIIGWAN may be different since last time you saw us. Scotty of Alaskan fame now drums, and Dennis Scale of Dennis Scale fame plays bass. Mike is on second guitar (or first guitar, depending on how you look at it) and constantly resists the urge to rip into blazing solos.
