i can’t tell you much about this pdx band, but here’s what’s important:

1. grind thrash filth
2. charlie mumma on vox
3. action movies

you best recognize, or at least get to the fucking chopper.

p.s. i had a draft of this post dated from 03/2007 because i am a PIECE OF SHIT.

wow, ten years. a thousand young was an all star metallic hardcore band of anchorage bred portland transplants back in the days before mustaches and fucking fixies. portland was cheap rent and cheap beer and cheap food and no winter and good shows every night, or so it seemed to those of us still scraping together enough money to pay the security guard for a rec center show back in alaska. you can still hear the band finding their legs a bit, and i always wished this band had put out another ep or a proper full length. alas, here we have the sum total of their recorded output. although you can hear the era’s influences, the execution and snarl make this a classic in my book.

“After more than a years work researching Le Roman Du Lievre, and after producing a variety of books, prints, and other works, along with the completion of an initial translation of the novel itself, Riordan has left London returning to the city of his birth, Anchorage, Alaska, where he has begun preparing and planning for a group show intended to illustrate his translation of Jammes’ text. Each artist involved will receive a copy of Riordan’s translation and will be asked to respond to the text through there own preferred medium. Involving artists he has met during his time in London, New York and Anchorage, the show, entitled Le Roman Du Lievre: Marginalia, is tentatively planned for the fall of 2009 and will be curated by Leslie Stumpf”

supposedly 56 artists will contribute to this event, working in a wide variety of media. i’ll be playing drums along with galen nolan (bass) in a piece written by stephan koweluk (guitar). riordan has mastered the alchemy of melding wreckless abandon with creative drive, and the eclectic works crafted by the ad hoc army of artists his work has inspired will be a testament to his success.
