Seeing as though it’s my old stomping grounds it was great seeing a few of my longtime friends and also some friends I’ve only known for a few months. We played and just threw it down for our first practice! It’s a bit strange that so many people I know from way back in late 80s early 90s we are all getting up there in our ages and it’s just a little surreal I guess you could say because I guess many years ago I thought that we would be young and wild forever. A great friend and former band mate in my band before buzzoven called Sewer Puppet came out and man it was definately great to actually get to hang out for a bit with him. He is an amazing musician and a great entertainer but he has a few kids and has kinda put music in the hobby section of his life. A few other old friends were there. Some I spoke with but others were there and then we played and they were gone before being able to even say hello. All in all it was a great first night as we now venture north to carry on this 1st leg of a US Tour. Hope to see everyone out there. </b><p></p></p>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-17346561760820028062017-01-21T11:45:00.003-05:002017-01-22T06:19:29.864-05:00Let Me Tell You This: The Past Ways Of Booking Shows,Promoting Your Band and Recording So here i am another day on "social media (Bleedia) " trying to figure out things like ,1.Setting up my YouTube to channel to generate some income that I've heard about alot of people doing. 2.Getting the connected mailing that's on the band Facebook page to actually allow people to sign up 3. Understand Google Analytics which controls the advertising that's on this very blog and the list goes on.I mean none of these things seem to be easy for me to understand and know the process to make these different walls I've hit with solving them become something that's comes to full Fruition.In the late 80's and early 90's ,when buzzoven had just formed ,there was manual ways of doing things that most people consider much more of a hassle and prehistoric in this age of THe INtErnet! Honestly though i have found after trying to maneuver all the various ways that you pretty much have to be taken seriously as a band in today's music bussiness, that i would much rather be back to the days of sending press kits to clubs to be considered for a show or to promote a show that's booked,actually beating the streets posting flyers for your show and networking with people in person not just through email and texting.Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-83187021587030508992016-11-09T12:43:00.000-05:002016-11-09T12:43:56.080-05:00A West Coast Tour Story<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So its been right at a week since our west coast tour with the mighty Bongzilla ended.Needless to say,we hit it off very well with the Bongzilla boys.Actually Dixie played on one of their albums and did a tour with them.Me and Michael(Pee Wee) really hit it off and i firmly believe i have a new brother in him for life.Touring with them,renting their backline and all around working together made life on this tour much easier. Bongzilla is still out there touring so get out and see them and buy some merch if you can to support this hard working band.I have a few individual stories to tell but I'm just typing some thoughts and observations from this recent 8 day jaunt through the west.I want to be sure i tell the stories i have as they actually happened and get permission from all those involved so i don't step on any toes or piss anyone off. I never piss anyone off.HA!! While our first tours back,in 2011,after 10 years of doing nothing proved to be lucrative and full of hype,this recent leg of shows,which by the way was after another 4 year lull proved to be good but only part of the hype previously experienced was present.Its becoming painfully obvious that if we don't stay busy,tour and work harder we will slowly dwindle back to an unknown band of the past.Some musicians i feel get spoiled from certain things being a certain way and expect that every tour or show will be just as lucrative and also bigger venues with a consistent amount of crowd attendance.Which of course is not the reality of being in the music business as things change year to year and even day to day. I started working my ass off to build this band in the late 80's.I have learned over the years that most always there will be issues with various elements of touring,recording and keeping things in order to keep moving forward.I also have tried to remain humble and appreciative of all the things I'm blessed with from the hard work that playing in and running a band can be.When some people get better pay and more things handled by the few people that are hired to take care of all the responsibility outside of playing their instrument,they love being in the band.But when everything isn't always that way or not as good as previous tours etc....they have an attitude and act as if they are being screwed over or something.All i know is at one time early in my career i had to sleep in the van in freezing temperatures and eat cheese and lettuce summits just to be sure we had enough fuel to make it to the next show.If you haven't experienced tour life from the bottom ,i believe it makes it harder to appreciate the perks that come with being in a band that has already paid their dues etc....I am so grateful that there are still enough people that dig buzzovens music that I'm able to fly(not drive)out to the west coast and tour and even though things were mismanaged we didn't lose money. Expectations were much higher on that issue but ya know it was still pay for doing nothing but playing your instrument.If you can't roll with the train when when its doing really well and when its not so great then maybe its time to give it up.There are thousands of musicians out there that would give anything to simply just be able to tour and have people attend. These people aren't even concerned about money and would do whatever was asked of them to make the tour run smoothly.Sometimes i find myself trying to make everyone else happy and sacrifice my time and needs to make things easier for all those around me.Im going to have to take care of my needs as well in the future.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>The plan is not to take another 4 years to get back out doing shows etc....In fact we are going to record very soon for a couple of split 7"s and our own new 7" on Rusty Knuckles.Ralph from Rusty Knuckles has been a huge help and confidant with teaching me the way things are done now as opposed to how i did them in the early 90's. We will also continue to tour but very limited amounts due to several factors that are personal as well as we have to work around Daves busy schedule with Weedeater.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So in the next few days i will have some stories from this tour and although their is very little to compare to the extreme chaos of buzzovens past ,their are some funny and interesting moments of this past short tour.Thanks to everyone who came out to the shows and watch for our upcoming announcements for the East Coast leg of the "Moodswings and Mayhem Tour" Ladies and gentlemen "Welcome to Violence!" </b></span>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-57120777389764263262016-10-10T00:32:00.001-04:002016-10-10T00:39:28.343-04:00Buzzoven, Set To Release Violent Hits CD on November 4th - Rusty Knuckles - Motors and Music for True Grit Characters - Rock N' Roll, Country, Metal, Punk Rock<a href="http://rustyknuckles.blogspot.com/2016/10/buzzoven-set-to-release-violent-hits-cd.html">Buzzoven, Set To Release Violent Hits CD on November 4th - Rusty Knuckles - Motors and Music for True Grit Characters - Rock N' Roll, Country, Metal, Punk Rock</a><br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br></span></b>
<b>So here it is.September 2016 and i realize i haven't done anything here in my blog close to 2 years.It has been a rough couple of years.I have done a lot ,mostly dealing with my addiction.I went to a long term rehab and actually completed the damn thing.I usually say "fuck it"and leave because i just couldn't stand the slow pace of counseling, group sessions and all that goes with Rehab.So after that i was able to stay completely clean and sober for right under a year.Needless to say, the monkey jumped on my back and came back with a vengeance. I was literally in the fetal position shaking and crying cause i wanted to get high so bad.I knew if i ventured back to the needle though i would be off and running and who knows if i would survive another run and even live through it? So i made the decision to get back on Methadone which given, is a powerful narcotic itself and really hard to withdrawl from. But given the amount of years i had been using and how long term Opiate abuse changes your body chemistry and endorphin levels for life, the need for medicinal assisted recovery is completely understandable in my situation. Recovery counselors and people in 12 step programs constantly talk against it. Medical doctors and the health community at large recommend it strongly do to the amount of people who practice abstinence based recovery who relapse and die due to that your body doesn't have the tolerance it once did. Many opiate addicts relapse and die from that first shot. There is a resurgence of Heroin in the US due to doctors prescribing high powered narcotics for pain issues. As the street price of these pills , like oxycontin , oxycodone and hydrocodone, continue to rise, opiate addicts start buying heroin cause its cheaper and stronger than any of those pills i just mentioned. So on with my own experience here. I made this decision with much caution to accepting it may one day be very drawn out and miserable to withdrawl from the Methadone. I withdrawled from it once after 8 years of taking it and it was quite painful and miserable to go through the symptoms of withdrawal very slowly as to make it less intense. You do this by weening off the Methadone just a few milligrams ever 2-4 weeks. So here i am at this point in my recovery, abstinence from all street narcotics and i do still drink some but not in excess. I have been back on Methadone for a couple of years now and i never have cravings that are completely intolerable. I did what i felt i needed to do to have long term success and to slap that fucking Evil Monkey off my back. There opinions abound on this form of treatment and many people think its a crutch or the government giving away drugs blah,blah blah... I do what is best for me and what actually my doctor recommends. People who talk it down but don't have any kind of degree, or training in this field, well i just tell them to shut the fuck up. Anyway i just wanted to give a little reason why i have been kind of out of circulation and staying under the radar for these last couple of years</b><br>
<b> So the good news is Buzzoven is definitely returning to the stage starting with 5 dates in late October.We will be doing the long haul.Seattle all the way down to San Diego where we will be playing on Halloween. Support for this tour is the mighty Bongzilla and 16. Should be some good shows and we are excited to be returning to the west coast.We will be touring to support our "Violent Hits" cd on Rusty Knuckles. It will be a compilation of what we think are our best songs. I know a greatest hits cd. How boring. This cd though will bring buzzoven to the many people who have never been able to get any of our cds or records due to them being out of print</b><br>
<b>So this cd will contain a few songs from the entire collection of buzzoven releases.Probably with some new artwork etc..... </b><br>
<b> We will have a pretty large assortment of merchandise for these shows. Belt buckles, patches, hats, and at least 3-4 shirt designs and probably some hoodies. We will do sort of a meet and greet type thing while the opening bands are playing so that you can get anything you want signed plus see what complete morons we can be.</b><br>
<b> Around this tour we will be recording a few new buzzoven songs.One for a split 7" and 2 for our 7" to be released on Rusty Knuckles.Its kind of a secret who the split will be with. Rest assured its a damn good band that also plays heavy music. A bunch of damn yankees though. Anyway we are hoping everything pans out and were able to finish the recording on a super tight recording schedule.</b><br>
<b> So I'm planning to start doing this blog thing more often. Especially from the West Coast tour coming up in late October. Ill check in daily from those shows. So whether you subscribe to this Blog or just read it when i post them to the buzzoven page and my personal page i hope they are somewhat of an enjoyable read. Im working on my book again and this will help me sharpen my lack of true writing skills. Its no easy task for one trying to remember things,events and the timeline of our early days.I plan to get both Ashley and Brian from the original lineup to submit a chapter for each. As well as Ramzi and Dixie Dave Collins to write some things from their perspective. Its not going to be strictly about buzzoven but needless to say I'm sure those years and chaotic events will be a large part of the book. As of right now i don't have a title for the book but I'm hoping to get done with it by May/June of 2017. We will see.</b><br>
<b> Thanks to everyone who has interest in buzzoven or my solow project k.lloyd, i appreciate your support. I am working at this very moment on my 3rd k.lloyd record for Rusty Knuckles as well.Tenatively titled "Outlaw Prophet". I will go into more details on that at another time. So with that i say Goodbye!!!</b>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-29887675441039453502014-09-02T09:44:00.000-04:002014-12-03T20:52:14.832-05:00Mood Swing Mayhem<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> So since having a complete nervous breakdown that landed me in the psyche ward not once but 2 times in December of 2013. I feel like im starting to feel a twinkling of balance and feel like maybe now i can put some sense of order into my future days.There is an abundance of ideas i have for doing various projects but honestly i have a very difficult time finding where or how to start some of these.Whether it be due to finances,schedules of other bandmates,physical or mental limitations i just wish that things came as easy as it seems for so many others and i could actually get some of this stuff done or at least having them as "works in progress." Im so envious of some of some of my peers because it seems after making their start around the same time as me ,or in some cases WITH me. When i met someone whom i felt a common bond with and really liked i did what i could do to help them,or should i say spread their exposure. My years of touring in buzzoven,especially the earlier ones,brought me into contact with many people.EyeHateGod was one whom had not been out of their hometown(NOLA) much at all. After witnessing their intensely awesome bluesy hardcore sound i was convinced the world needed to hear this band.It was not a situation of asking bands to come open for buzzoven like we were the BIG headlining act, It was more of an attempt of uniting two bands whom had a common bond and respect for each other and enjoyed hanging out together through the antics of life on tour. Needless to say EHG has become a force to be reckoned with and although both buzzoven and EHG had their similar elements ,we both were the pioneers of a new heavy "Sludge" sound.I think its amazing that they are getting such a great response to their long anticipated new s/t album.</b></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> On the flipside of this subject im speaking of is the friends who stepped away from selling their soul to music and living and breathing their bands more than full time obligations.The guy who now owns his own business and has married a beautiful woman and has a kid or two. Or maybe that person that has to just stay away from the whole environment to hold on to his sanity or even sobriety.I can think of one individual whom literally hung his guitar up and changed into a golf shirt and khakis literally overnight and never looked back. So many people have made different choices for just as many different reasons.</b></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> I know for myself that i have a hard time separating the will to self destruct from the heart,soul and rage i put into writing and performing 2-ens music.Trust me in the light of the overwhelmingly great responses our early 90's peers such as Sleep,EYEHATEGOD and even a rumored return of Acid Bath are getting the time is never more than right.But is it right for me?Obviously it was earlier this year when i was forced to cancel our Roadburn appearance due to Mental Health Illness.I was dissapointed as i know many of you were as well.</b></span><br>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> I feel like im just weak,hopeless and lost without playing music but "HOW" do i remain sane and sober in that hostile environment? </b></span><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> On the Flipside ,I have been tracking new songs for my 3rd full length release under my k.lloyd persona.Slated to be released on Rusty Knuckles Music as soon as I get it completed.Im excited about this because my 2 previous CDs have been shadowed with little promotion and not even appropriate release.Im thinking of putting together a heavier lineup to take k.lloyd beyond the acoustic mellow tone to full fledged heavy distortion.Only time will tell.</b></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> Regardless I am still here.Im stilll playing and writing music.I have Faith what full path I am to take with live performances as well as completing some other endeavors I have had on the back burner will present itself in due time. </b></span><br>

I suppose I put too much of myself and I'm too honest much of the time. I love to play music and writing is also a newer love of mine. I write this very sentence though with tears in my eyes and a debating thought of whether to admit myself into a psychic observation setting. I will say this though, because of the words and replies of so many ignorant fucking morons I am choosing to keep my own struggles just that. MY OWN! Not that it bothers me that much but why bother going the extra mile if only to be berated with so much judgement. There has been a handful of people who message me and express their gratitude for my willingness to be up front and vocal about my own daily struggles with addiction and Dual Diagnosis. I find when people attack me honing in especially on the word God or the aspect of a higher power, it merely shows their own closed mind and inability to let someone choose their own path or their own belief system which is the only thing I push. Regardless of why people say what they say I am finding such an annoyance with even taking the time to read it and give it my precious time that I am going to take the time to reduce this blog to only go to direct subscribers. I know I need to fix the grammatical error in the title and this I plan to do.</b><div><b> On a more serious note I have decided that maybe a break from this and social media in general would be good while I deal with my mental condition. I have never in my adult life ever found a true sense of balance and I'm starting to have enough insight to know when I'm heading into a mindset that I cannot trust myself. If you have never lost everything you hold dear to your heart or attempted to take your own life then you probably have no clue what I'm talking about. Regardless to those I know and love and anyone with any faith at all, your prayers would be appreciated. Until I return I wish you all peace and happiness!<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QGpj8UFdpHI/Uw3mHR5PsTI/AAAAAAAAG54/jcXD_O2lWqg/s640/blogger-image--220374380.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-QGpj8UFdpHI/Uw3mHR5PsTI/AAAAAAAAG54/jcXD_O2lWqg/s640/blogger-image--220374380.jpg"></a></div></b></div>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-6546902420244770682014-02-24T06:58:00.001-05:002014-02-24T06:58:49.329-05:00Disciples Of Chaos<b>As I move through and into another day I decided to give you all a sneek peek at some artwork in its development to piece together one of my upcoming covers for a record. The extra special thing about this title and piece of a bigger whole is my dream for living a new life in the outline I am learning in Recovery. I want to help others .Seeng shows like Pitbulls and Parolees as well as having new life experiences due to having a wonderful girlfriend, have given me hope I can do something more for someone than just a small gesture of kindness.Not trying to bore you with all the details but after learning so much about my own emotional condition in regards to loss and love I have joined the ranks of many who know how special Pittbulls are. I am working on a book that tells the story of how I learned to let go without anger when I dealt with losing Dollar Bill who was the blue Pitt who belonged to my significant other Simerly Cook. Dollar provided friendship and taught me how misunderstood creatures other than myself can be. Working with his daughter Penny has been so rewarding and has brought a happiness and reward I personally had never experienced. Disciples Of Chaos will eventually be a non profit organization to help Pitbulls and also help professional musicians get into treatment for Drug and Alcohol abuse.Although I feel that it would play out better to wait for the entire organization and ideas to be more substantial I also know and feel time is delicate and waiting is not in my vocabulary. We are planning to release a t- shirt with this heart with wings and an outlaw biker style patch logo to begin our task of raising money to start helping the Pitbulls ASAP. I plan to rescue one just as soon as Simerly and I move into our own place. All monies raised are going to be put into a website and any efforts we can find to help this highly misunderstood breed of Dogs. Please stay tuned and watch for the release of this shirt which will have ALL of its profits going into the development of the Non a Profit of the same name. I am excited to have this dream. Disciples Of Chaos will be built around the helping of Pitbulls and other Addicts in music whom want a different life. Of course Music, fashion, and the alternative culture will be ever present. I'm hoping that in time we can make a difference in some peoples lived and bring about understanding of the amazing Pitbulls whom are such awesome dogs I just can't express it all in words. I want to thank Brian Annan who started on this artwork without us ever even meeting or talking. This is also a story to be told at a later date. Hopefully we will have the shirts done sooner than later due to our friends over at holy Mountain printing. We will make you all aware of the shirts as soon as they are done.

Sounds like a Detox Unit in many city's.Its a very fascinating thing to me that these extreme beliefs of a group have been somewhat adopted by some of the more successful treatment programs of today. That being said I plan to do more extensive research into this so called cult/religion that adopted AA as a way of life but seemingly took it a step further. I find little about extreme living and beliefs shocking. As for this Synanon I am even more intrigued because of my own experience with AA, drug addiction and treatments of various types. I have never been a fan of "cold turkey" type detoxing but I understand it's effectiveness after my own detox in a county jail cell off of Methadone. I will share more here as I find it out.As I said I look forward to discovering more about Charles Dederich and The Synanon Church.

I say I could give a fuck what others think of my no show at an event I was on a list semi scheduled to attend. I do know this, I'm grateful for my understanding Girlfriend whom never took it personal or got selfishly mad we weren't going and a couple true friends just reached out in whole hearted concern and let me know they were checking up on me.I know I'm not really that important and I know my mind creates much of its own "Dilemma."So for today I will chalk this one up to a good learning experience. In my heart I know I made the best choice in regards to completing that 24 hrs clean & sober. Now onward with today. God Help Me!!!<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oObhVn5o1DI/UwS3vkXd0lI/AAAAAAAAG3g/4aFYrjg01GM/s640/blogger-image--1943002016.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-oObhVn5o1DI/UwS3vkXd0lI/AAAAAAAAG3g/4aFYrjg01GM/s640/blogger-image--1943002016.jpg"></a></div>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-41198087715485439642014-02-17T08:24:00.001-05:002014-02-17T08:24:11.847-05:00Morning Meditations/ Prayer<b>I know that both meditation and prayer are touchy subjects for most everyone.Especially in the music scene I'm somewhat known in I think most people are very intolerant to either of these.I know for years I almost hated the idea of either one. I was an extreme case of a person who had built his existence and mission of artistic vision on a huge resentment towards God himself.As suprising as it may seem though I have always believed in God. I believe now I had a warped sense or understanding of God though. Being raised Catholic with a dash of Southern Baptist had created a sense of hatred,anger and fear.Im not sure what or which incident surrounding Catholicism had set me on my complete denial of being a Catholic but I knew exactly what those Baptist Ministers had done and I still have anger for those men no matter how good their intentions to "save my soul."</b><div><b> I built much of buzzoven on this anger and hatred for organized religion. Although not as angry today, I have found little use for organized religion. In Recovery I have searched though. Searching for answers that don't really exist have brought me to the conclusion that I can be a Man of God and society can still keep its religions.I do believe in morals and trying to live by a good example and walking in a manner to set a good example. This is no easy task. I especially find difficulty because simply I have come to enjoy Chaos.I have had people tell me I'm addicted to Chaos.Maybe this is fact but I know as I've grown older I'm becoming more content with simpler things. For me to I have found it absolutely crucial to Pray. There is freedom in prayer.After living in a self made prison for most of my life,a small taste of Freedom is nice. Try it!!</b></div>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-44540379251773603832014-02-15T17:16:00.001-05:002014-02-15T17:16:48.334-05:00Melting SnowSo as we watch the snow slowly drift away I get a feeling of cleansing as it melts and washes clean water all down the streets. Wash Away. What's away my sins. So as we look to the weeks further one must ask is this enough water to cleanse scum from the street? I have been working diligently on my upcoming book. It has been rather difficult to look back into past journals. But I also find it cleansing in a sense. Rereading some of my past endeavors as well as failures seem to remind me how far I have come. Yet still so very far to go. All I know is that things have somewhat improved. I plan to continue along on my new journey. My new pass takes me to places that are completely unknown to me because most of my previous visits I was altered state of mind. Anyway break time is over. Got to get back to rehearsing k.lloyd tunes as well as a few new buzzoven songs. Will be playing opening for Roger Alan Wade if all goes as planned at the Maywood February 28 in Raleigh North Carolina. This is not confirmed yet so I probably shouldn't be saying anything. Regardless I plan to be at the show. Hopefully I will see some of you there.<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fcsCNBcAZVg/Uv_nTo3QtsI/AAAAAAAAG20/x1fCHimyET8/s640/blogger-image-425370108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-fcsCNBcAZVg/Uv_nTo3QtsI/AAAAAAAAG20/x1fCHimyET8/s640/blogger-image-425370108.jpg"></a></div>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-32050369505875959152014-02-11T10:59:00.001-05:002014-02-11T10:59:48.378-05:00K.Lloyd "Bootleg Volume One" Is Done and Out.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>Just wanted to drop a few words after writing a bigger piece on my other blog Demon Spit about this CD.Recorded in NOLA throughout 2007-2008,it has some NOLA Alumni including Mr.Jimmy Bower(Down,EHG)on drums.Brian Patton(EHG,Soilent Green) and Earl Roesch Jr.(Clearlight) on Slide guitar.Brian adds some acoustic and Electric hollow body to a couple of tracks.These guys really were my saving grace and their abilities to shred on their personal instruments made this recording an amazing experience.It is available under the Bootleg status because 1.The Masters were lost so there was no final mix or enhancements done to much of it 2.It has 3 bonus tracks from "Solow" my debut k.lloyd cd that was released but never distributed or really promoted properly seeing as though Sleeping Village Records folded before any real work was done.This was supposed to be on Neurot Recordings in its initial time of being made but due to my own Demons this never came to pass.Its available through my own newly found label D.O.C. Music and will be available on vinyl soon in Europe. My Proud Mountain Records will release the Vinyl and the CDS are available for $10 plus postage from buzzovenmerchandise.bigcartel.com. We hope you enjoy this recording as we will be rereleasing k.lloyd "Solow" as D.O.C. Music #2 which will both be available while k.lloyd finishes up work writing and recording his full length #3.This 3rd full length will be released on Rusty Knuckles.The home label for fellow Queen City Punk Godfathers Antiseen,Billy Don Burns,Husky Burnette,Crank County Daredevils and many many more.I am super excited about this upcoming #3 full length.I believe it will showcase my best songwriting to date.Im grateful to the guys i know who helped me remember my love for music.</b><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>So i wanted to inform everyone of the label and merchandising company that i have started and will be working hard throughout the rest of this year getting as much done as i can.The first two CD releases are both k.lloyd. The first is "Bootleg Volume One" which is the album purepainblues NOLA that was supposed to be released on Neurot Recordings but that deal never came to fruition.It has Jimmy Bower on Drums and Brian Patton on Second Guitar.Both of EHG.Also some amazing slide guitar work by Earl Jr. formerly of New Orleans own Instrumental Jam band Clearlight.Mystic Krewe of Clearlight were always one of my personal favorites.The late Joey Lacaze did some killer drumwork in this band.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> Also in the good news section is a newly secured relationship with the mighty Rusty KNuckles and Altco Records.Ralph Miller from Rusty Knuckles dropped out of no where into my radar and through some extensive back and forth online and each of us checking the possibilities out we agreed upon buzzoven doing its first new song back "in the game" lets say on a split 7 inch with Carolinas own Crank County Daredevils.We hope to have the track done by March so that this mighty slab of Vinyl can be sent off to the presses.Also the k.lloyd semi official full length will come out on Rusty Knuckles probably toward the end of 2014.Altco is mainly Stevie Tombstone of whom i was introduced by Ralph and have found we have many strange similarities in the world of crash and burn.Stevie has been a huge help to me just recently as i do find it very difficult to balance much of anything in life.Doing music is my job and i plan to keep it that way.Stevie and i will be meeting up this month to track a few new songs for the Altco Label which is a sub-division of Rusty KNuckles.I have been so excited about all of this developing without me having to do much but be open minded and let people who have more knowledge with development of a solo artist.My old friends Antiseen and Black Eyed Vermillion are both on these 2 labels.Also the great Billy Don Burns of whom i was communicating with back in 2007 when i recorded both of my k.lloyd full lengths of which im touring and promoting now.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> Hopefully as all of this develops and buzzoven gets prepared for the European ONSLAUGHT and i gradually make my way into the solo artist arena i can maintain my new found Sanity which i was recently diagnosed legally crazy and im properly medicated.Im hoping to release vinyl of both k.lloyd full lengths and in time release a CD or two by a few upcoming artists that have been led to me and i think maybe the general public may like.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b> The big thing is im back active and participating in LIFE again.Being bi-polar and a Recovering Addict/Alcoholic is no easy path but i do find that things could be much worse.AS im editing my first book( with the title of this blog ) im realizing that i was getting better all along.I was stuck by my own FEAR at times but im alive and i love music.The God i believe in speaks to me positively through many types of music and almost daily.I am so grateful for my ability to spin a song and vent my emotions or tell a tale.Its a gift not everyone has.The moral to this is its only a gift that i can keep if im willing to give it away and pass it along.I pray that my little label and my music touches someones heart and allows them some relief from whatever it is in their struggle.I know my music helps me in a huge way.I mean all this with sincere humility and want everyone to know how gracious i am your even reading this far along.Thank You!!!Thank You SO,SO very much! You all give me a purpose and for that i am Eternally GRATEFUL!!! </b></span>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-87749309285937398832014-02-10T09:13:00.001-05:002014-02-10T09:13:46.594-05:00Buzzoven- "REBIRTH" New David Paul Seymour T-Shirt<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><b>So I wasn't planning to release this shirt just yet but I have changed my mind.Its going to be a Roadburn exclusive zip up hoodie.The hoodie will be seen and available only at Roadburn and is something I look forward to greatly.My relationship with David Paul Seymour the artist stems back to when I was not in the best state of mind and was being medicated for my bi-polar by a Hack of a Doctor.I was losing my sense of Reality and sanity to put it plainly.David was a trooper and stuck with me through this part of my own personal tragedy that make up who I am today.I am far from being the man I would like to be.This blog is one way that I try to give a small chunk of my being to someone else who suffers from a Dual Diagnosis like I do.It mainly allows me an avenue of journaling and writing whatever I feel like I want to.You can also read the notes on my personal Facebook page if you have any interest in delving deeper into my thoughts and Ramblings.Regardless I plan to continue doing my writings and I still don't know how to type or use the internet to its full capability.These will be coming soon from my own personal store.I want to thank David for doing such a great job and encourage all of you to go and check out his work at his website. davidpaulseymour.com. When these are printed and available you all will know so Untill then you can pre order the shirt for $20.00 plus postage from buzzovenmerchandise.bigcartel.com. </b><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rDuPKa8YL5s/UvjemL_XkMI/AAAAAAAAG1c/jv1WKJy6D7w/s640/blogger-image--1751344055.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-rDuPKa8YL5s/UvjemL_XkMI/AAAAAAAAG1c/jv1WKJy6D7w/s640/blogger-image--1751344055.jpg"></a></div>Kirkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08060834539094555418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6556016721515144036.post-63961740433702524202014-02-08T09:18:00.001-05:002014-02-08T09:18:36.479-05:00trudging Through vile ThINkiNg! <b>So as I keep making mistakes some days I remain abstinent from drugs and alcohol to just have a fighting chance at Recovery long term.They say Keep It Simple.Hahaha....easier to say than do.It takes practice and questions at an almost constant and then for me Trust and Faith in My God has to come in almost immediately but I know this as well,Honesty is #1.If I'm not feeling it or I'm disrupted I have to be honest.I so much of the time end up having to make amends for this behavior and it sucks doing so especially if I THINK I'm right and someone else wrong.Im a Junkie that lives with his Mommy.Almost 45 and although guilt and shame do know good it's the reality of where I put myself.My sponsor in A.A.

Johnny Cash has always been my hero and He even more so is at this time in my life.Johnny was a Man Of God. I am that as well.Even though my comments and article on my spirituality were recently dissected and considered "Uncool" by an online magazine called Cvlt Nation. I respect their opinion but i was fully misunderstood. God can be simply Good Orderly Direction.God is a subject very personal to me and i was mistaken to use GOD i guess.I have been watching Slow Southern Steel the movie tonite and it has been fairly obvious whom of my Close Friends are why they are my closest which include Jimmy Bower,Mike IX Williams and other EHG boys as well as my new guitarist Zach Hembree of Music Hates You.These fellows are all very intensely close friends and i am super stoked about buzzov-ens upcoming headlining appearance at Roadburn Apr.10 and then the appearance of + k.lloyd + at Afterburner April 13. The 13th being the biggie for myself personally. My personal allegiance to the Son of God is profound now. It is a spiritual one.As Noah from MHU said "Its my own personal thing"! I also have a new cd coming out with Jimmy Bower,Earl Jr. and Brian Patton performing on it. Its called "Bootleg Volume One" Its DOC Music #1 and #2 will come out in late March/April.Called "solow". Anyway i am hard at work on a book about McAfee Ct. Kennesaw Ga. and mY Love and Redemption through a pitbull that was my dog because of my Girlfriend Simerly Cook.More info on all these projects coming soon.</b><br />
<b>"Bootleg Volume One" will be done by Jan.22 and orders that were recieved will ship after that.The pre-orders that were recieved with other merchandise orders like buzzov-en products etc....are waiting for the completion of The k.lloyd cd.</b><br />
<b> On another good note, + k.lloyd + will open for Weedeater at The Earl

Health : Challenges of A Manic Reverend<h2>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So it has been a minute since i have wrote a My New Path article and just so many of you know,i am hard at work on my 3rd solo recording under the name + k.lloyd + aka Rev. Dirtkicker. We have so much going on over here at our new residence and home base back in Charlotte-Mecklenburg NC that its all overwhelming for myself to say the least.Im working on some new songs.Paintings.New woodworking jobs and dozens of constructive good things.There are so many positive projects i start on but u i have untreatreated ADHD because i am a Recovering Addict/ Alcoholic and cannot take Amphhetamines because of their destructive effect on my drug addled system and Allergic reaction to all mood and mind altering substances of ANY KIND! Some days i get very angry and bitter because of my inability to even enjoy a simple beer or a few addys etc.....but i am purely an Addict who wishes to Recover more than i desire to escape and or self-destruct today!Still makes staying clean and sober just a bit of a chore today! Anyway i have to get some rest right now.My apologies to those whom have not recieved their orders from buzzovenmerchandise.bigcartel.com. Please coninue to Personal Message me as we work out our lost files etc....... Thanks, Kirk (DOC Music) </span></h2>
