This is a one take cover (and I mean one take of each of the four tracks...not like that weird youtube shit...) of CAKE's "Stickshifts and SafetyBelts" from the iconic album (and one of the first I ever listened to) FASHION NUGGET. I accidentally cut out some of the song because I forgot he held the "a lot of great caaaaaaars" a lot longer than I remembered...But I just went with it.
It's probably for the best, since my disgusting tobacco habit prevents me from sustaining Ave Maria type notes anymore. :]

K0ala?! - Stickshifts + Safetybelts[ (Cake Cover...Chainsmoker version)

I wrote this in about fifteen minutes yesterday morning, and now I have less than 5 to upload the track from the library (i dont own a computer). I will hopefully think of a better title at some point.

Lyrics to "Untitled mountain anger song":
"When I wake up in the morning and look out of my front door and see all of those trees/my mind is generating images gasoline and turpentine and bic's setting me free/How the hell did I get here in this stupid fucking forest all these stupid fucking trees?/I pray, one of these stupid tweekers would blow up their stupid meth lab/send them running in the street//This is it I'm sick of this shit/I'm really fucking tired and I'm really fucking pissed/Burn this God-damned mother fucker to the ground/I've lost my wit and funny bone/Fuck this shit I'm going home/I rather live inside a god damn trash can" (repeat again)

"Untitled Mountain Anger Song" (now with lyrics) by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

**This one includes my mediocre mandolin skills! Yay! (and no it's not a banjo or a ukelele).**
One i wrote sunday (yesterday morning). A fictional narrative about a tweeker girl (based loosely upon a number of actual people, but not one in particular).
I must note beforehand, that I have this horrible nagging feeling that I've unconsiously ripped off another song.....I can't think of what the hell it is. I don't mind if I realize it sounds similar as I'm writing it, but not knowing is driving me nuts. Oh well....there's only 7 chords and some variations of said 7 chords, I'm not going to worry about it too much lol

Lyrics to "bring a blowtorch jeanette isabella":

"Bring a blowtorch jeanette isabella/you'll set this town ablaze tonight/Your beauty still lays underneath all the waste/through the white cloud it's still glowing brightly/get out your blowtorch jeanette isabella/you deserve this all more than you know/light up your pipe/have the time of your life/you don't know that your heart will explode//where did you, go away to?/tell me how the beast caught up/all the loved ones that you made hate you/tonight is for your and so they can all go and get *****/Let go jeanette isabella you don't have to fight anymore/its too late now for apologies/everybody has stopped keeping score anyways/its ok jeanette isabella, you tried and I won't get in your way/I don't understand, but it's irrelevant/now that you have run out of days/Jeanette Isabella"

Bring a Blowtorch Jeanette Isabella (now with lyrics in description) by K0ALA?! (and the K-Holes)

(This is the second version recorded. The first was a place holder)
This song sounds a bit bitter and sarcastic, and it is. Nothing should be taken too seriously here; it's just an expression of my frustration with trying to break into music again after so many years out of the scene. Playing indie music in southern california can be a true hell. Whereas hipsters are always difficult to please, it seems to me that they are especially unwelcoming around these parts. Venues I've played 10 times are now seemingly impossible to book. I would say it's because of my terrible music, however I'm positive there are way worse bands playing every night in L.A. and the I.E. 
And by the way, I don't mean any offense to the Silversun Pickups (i've never actually heard their music, their name just fit well with the lyrics about "silverlake". I'm sure they're nice guys.) nor do I mean to offend the venue El Cid (it's one of my favorite l.a. venues, along with Los Globos, same owners. If the lyrics are taken to be an assault, I promise that's not how they were intended. El Cid is one of the good ones).

Lyrics:
"Maybe if  I got a synthesizer and thermin/Got some tattoos and a pink didjeridoo./Maybe if My mom and dad had money, then I could've gone to college/and then I could have been cool./Maybe if I sold off fifty tickets to a gig where I would play 5:30 pm tuesday night/Maybe if I went on to my facebook and I spam them/started chanting out my name, would it go right?/What am I doing wrong? What the fuck can I do? I hate to admit it, but shit dude I have no tattoos/
I'll go pull out my old weezer glasses with the black frames/Try hard as I can to look like a nerd/I'll go find a couple mexicans and africans/play some NOISE-RANCHERO-AFRICAN-SPOKEN WORD./Maybe if I had a small apartment in silverlake/then the silversun pickups would call me up/and say "oh hey koala! I heard from someone you're a baller, let's go play next saturday down at EL Cid/Should I not write this song? Will somebody sue? Or maybe I should just quit now cause I have no tattoos./I thought once that punks and artists/hippies hipsters were the farthest/thing from all those shiny ones/who made my life hell one by one/in elementary and junior high/highschool laughing, making me cry/i'm sure i sound bitter and you may be right/I've lived here in this whole for all of my life/But I can't get a gig anymore, I think that I'm screwed/Because I'm a recluse and because I have no tattoos/I can't get a gig anymore I think that I'm through/because I'm a recluse and cause my strange lack of tattoos"

"The No Tattoos Song (Lyrics now included in description!)" by  K0ala?! (and the K-Holes)

Both the sound bytes and the inspiration for the song come from one of my favorite films "GUMMO" by harmony korine. 

Lyrics:
"When I approach i'm a cockroach, i sense reproach ahead/Six foot six scrawny and pale, socially retarded/I never walked a straight line, no equalibrium/Always leaning slightly to one side like H.Thompson/Despite the looks and dirty crooks my resolve stays the same/I wind up with two girls in a swimming pool in the rain/there's so many times I thought that I would go insane/But every time I recall I'm queer rabbit in the rain/AKH! AKH! AKH! AKH! AKH! I'm a Queer Rabbit! (repeat)'

"Queer Rabbit in the Rain" (featuring the Gummo boys choir of tenessee) by K0ala?! (and the K-holes)

Banjo...mandolin...guitar....i guess this could be considered alt country then lol. It's just the same old bullshit lyrics. The melody was inspired by a native america peyote song. yep.

"I'm a radioactive fucking disaster" by K0ala?! (and the k-holes)

Another new original. Enjoy.

[lyrics: Can you break the curse? Once its been placed whats it all worth? what is the worst scenario that could possibly happen in my situation? Can i back out now? Hansel and gretel my way out? can i cast off all my doubt and obsession back to where they came from////I'm so sick of living in a filthy little hole and i think im gonna lose my mind again and wind up committed, some days i wanna rip my fucking face off from the bone, most days i just end up high all alone///Is there such a thing as an existential spring? Where i get a chance to clean out my old demons and get back to zero. Whens my jubilee? i need a seven year shabbat. When will all my sins be forgotten? Cause its getting old now////im so sick of living in a filthy little hole.....etc///Feels kinda like i've been running from the same god damn thing my whole life, life is so effing funny its the number one leading cause of death. And my self has been bending, gradually for 29 years and im always ending and starting again right back here////Im so sick of living in a filthy little hole......etc]

"Facebone" by K0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

A song i wrote and recorded on friday. The distorted guitar is my acoustic yamaha, using a bill lawrence acoustic soundhole pickup, strung through an old broken marshall 40 watt.

[lyrics: There are days that seem so long ago, when i was optimistic. There were times i felt i just might transcend the statistics (refrain) once upon a time i really cared about the poor and the oppressed. But now i just turn off the t.v. cause it just makes me depressed. ////chorus 1: I take cigarettes and press them into my flesh, to see if i can feel to see whats left. There is no love anymore, only echoes whispers myths and lore.///All the hollow voices emanate i can taste them on my tounge. I swallow my choices and chew my hate. (refrain) When my battered body finally stops, if theres anyone around. Scream "187!" at the cops. Dress my corpse up like a clown ///chorus 2: take me back to that surreal place, take a bloody steak knife to my face. I cant take anymore, trace me out a chalk line on the floor.////I rather suck on exhaust pipes than stand up and join the group, i rather just play GTA and murder prostitutes (refrain) Foundations shake assumptions break i cant wake up from the nightmare, With every day everones fake, its getting really hard to care (refrain).///chorus 3: please just tell me when it is all done. I'm not smiling and i am not having fun, living is in quotations, i just wanna be sedated (repeat 2nd chorus, then finish)] 

"Chalk Outlines" by K0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

[lyrics: I said if i go back there i'll just back on heroin and say i don't care/if my options run few well i'll just end up on the news with a gun in my hand/I swore if they got bored and they cornered me again someone was dying for sure/whether me or the enemy, either way there's no way someones not frying in here///i said i don't want their money or their upvotes or their mtv specials/never wanted to be wanted for something i weren't and i won't/on my own terms turned out to be what finally burned me/cause who wants a burnout to turnout no, trust me they dont/////Chorus: and she says "tranquilo koala, your heart can not take all this strain"/"all the pills and the booze and the meth and the freebase cocaine"
she says "tranquilo, tranquilo, koala, just sit the fuck down!"/"cause one day you'll be dead and the dead sea will swallow this town/
Verse 2//i said "if i can't run this town well then i hope that they all drown, i'm taking em with me"/"maybe one day they would all turn backwards and start to miss me"/"but i can't take that gamble rather leave em all in shambles all alone"/"look me in the eye, these cocksuckers are gonna die, loose eyes and broken bones"/I said "i may die young, i may die sad and poor but surely not insignificant"/"whether it is through my songs, or a pile of guns and bombs it's all malignant now"/"he could go either way is what my teachers used to say when they whispered about me"/"But in the middle i have stayed, but now it's time to concentrate on those who doubt me"/
REPEAT CHORUS*
////
BRIDGE - grinding and unwinding and ignoring all the forward signs/quaking and breaking and living inside my mind/write it down and sign about it it's the only thing that i know/but now i'm pretty certain that i'm going to explode///
REPEAT CHORUS]

"Tranquilo, Koala! (marsupial theme song)" by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

I've lost my enthusiasm for irony the last few years, however i've been doing this one casually for years and decided to finally lay it down. So here it is, an antifolk/folk punk cover of "best i ever had" by Drake. Im not sure what to say besides....um.....his name is aubrey and he's half white and canadian and was on degrassi jr high lol. I think i may actually be blacker than he is. 

"Best I ever had" (DRAKE cover) by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

wrote this pretty quickly a couple days ago. I regret not making it a bit longer. Oh well.

[lyrics: 
verse 1: oh the birds and the bees and the cigarette trees/and the lemonade springs all filled with disease/all the houses and cars, the prescriptions and lard/all the jewels and the rings and the four credit cars/all these sick pervy fucks who live luxurious/ they dont deserve to live or share our air with us/everything that i see on the useless t.v. makes me nauseous and totally pissed off///chorus: like tetsuo in neo-tokyo i'm gonna blow up/bring us back to a time that jaqcues ellul would have been proud of - and deconstruct///verse 2: all the banks and the liars that they call media/all the poison they call food and force feed to us/all the police, military, aclu, all the wal-marts and taco bells too/i will tear down the walls/i will chop off their balls/ill make wine from their spine/drink the wine from their skulls/ill set fire to the liars and berate all the haters/and wait for the sun to come up///chorus (repeat first chorus)]

*First lines are in homage to "big rock candy mountain", presumably by harry mcclintock
*Last line is from the MODERN ENGLISH song "melt with you", which i thought the guitar sounded a lot like lol.


KOALAPOCALYPSE?! (a.k.a. just like Akira) by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

I wrote the verse to this two days ago and couldnt figure out a chorus. Finally this morning i just forced myself to write the rest. It's a quasi-sequel to koalapocalypse (a.k.a. "just like akira")

[lyrics: The armadillos, hawks and owls up in the willows curve their mouths/The squids and sparrows, their eyes narrowing, ingesting heroin/the flying monkeys and the hoards of dying junkies in the cracks/the crackheads, twackheads, smack their heads against the asphault paint red on black/somewhere walt whitman yawps but no one hears, cause there's no hashtag there/Scared little hitmen fire shots into the dark, so unaware/and armadillos hugging pillows, stealing pies from window sils/They swallow pills and stuff their gils like cartoon cats drinking clearasil///chorus: how is it we can prevail through this?/ in this twisted world of pride and selfishness/of lies and violence, guilt and shame, the awkward silence, broken vows, we choke on cows, and even when you win you seem to lose///Behold the psychopaths, they sell us gas and GEICO to save cash/we dine on the flesh of lower beasts, while dynasties dine out on our ass/Undo deception and denial and rationalization/undo the doom and television broadcast feeding us all cartoons/For all the progress, the invention, technology and the like/man still remains in infancy, a screaming three year old on a trike./The gods look down on us and watch as we build towers to the sky/then watch them tumble and we humble and they crack up until they cry///repeat first chorus///they want you to/play by their rules/day care soccer/day camp highschool/college if you/can pay your dues/if not then trade school/shut up be cool/think right cast votes/pay tax dont smoke/coffee alcohol/zoloft secenol/dont trip dont think/old spice dont stink/dont look shut the door/i don't want to be here anymore.]

"koalapocalypse part 2, the sequel (a.k.a. 'lose-lose') by k0ala?! (and the K-Holes)

It bugs me that the guitar line sounds like GSF by mxpx lol....oh fucking well

[lyrics: i wont go quietly into darkness/i'll shout out obscenities/thank them for the amenities/I cant find shoes to go on my feet/Or withstand the depravity/and all the excess gravity/The sidewalks crack beneath my toes/The sound is so terrible/It's fucking unbearable/And when I grin my grill is reflecting/The six arms of Shiva/Holding six meat cleavers///Chorus: I'm stomping down the only street I know/Undaunting in my efforts to push through/The terra-firma can not take my weight/I'm heavy man, gravity is too much to take///The news reports a six point eight/When I venture into town/Ventura sinks and drowns/I throw off orbits and cause the tides to rise/And act as a catalyst/For the errors of analysts/My eyes are like saturn and jupiter/Two dueling planets/Take each other for granted/X-flares consume my frozen heart/There's burn holes in everything/I should write something clever to sing (no)///repeat chorus///Outro: So Heavy Man, So Heavy Man, the gravity is pushing me, pushing me, pushing me down (end)]

"they call me SO HEAVY MAN, cause I'm SO HEAVY...MAN (antigravity)" by k0ala?! (and the k-holes)

A song about why I haven't been on the internet much the last few weeks. Broke a couple ribs at a punk show last week. I'll add lyrics a bit later. Btw I'm missing my G string on this song.
lyrics***
[verse: i went out and drove to pomona/to go to the dwarves and the queers show/drank a few too many coronas/ate a huge plate of chinese food/got out of the car and i stumbled/however i felt fine and kept walking/then i went in and bought more beer/threw some chow mein up on the table/oh/chorus: then i said oh fuck it and i jumped in the pit and ran against the flow of traffic/now i could not resist and i windmilled my fists/i think i'm finally too old for this shit/verse: didn't even make it full circle/before i felt a fist land on my chest/ all of sudden my lungs cleared/the oxygen escapes i'm not breathing/walked out of the pit got some water/i dont know what the fuck just happened/realized my top ribs were broken/said fuck it went back and kept slamming/oh/repeat chorus/outro chorus: Oh still thin and dirty now/i'm almost 30 now/how long can i expect to do this?/and when i'm healed up i'm getting in the truck/and going to l.a. to see los crudos]

"Brok'd McRibs [too old for punk]" by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

[all sound clips from terrence mckenna speeches]
[note: the line about dogmeat and clean teeth is referencing an islamic story about Jesus/yeshua walking with his disciples. They see a street dog and say "ew look at that nasty dog" and jesus is like "yeah, but look how clean it's teeth are!"]
The final(?) installment of the koalapocalypse trilogy (each song centers around the idea of deconstruction, primitivism, and feeling like you've been cheated by a vapid plastic system who takes and takes and never gives back. 

This song took me for ever to do...i don't know why. I kept fucking it up. After 4 hours of recording outside in a truck i finished but wound up accidentally dumping the material. So i started over last night and finished about an hour ago. I'm far from happy with the final product, but hopefully i'll be able to re-record it some time soon. This may be my last song for a while (maybe forever?) since I'm out of space on soundcloud and am also out of money....so.....enjoy it i guess lol

**lyrics***
[This shit is rigged to hell stuck in the game they had to sell and when you're born and tagged and funneled through their pipelines/they colonized the earth and cursed it we're locked in from birth it's bullshit, it's only getting worse cause now they have our minds/theyve replaced dreams with delusions and they exchanged love for confusion and they take pure art and suck it's fucking soul out/they pay their slaves a buck or two its five bucks for the food they grew and grease the palms of all those who've sold out///chorus: there is no clear path of escape,there is no way we can survive, we stay alive but life evades us/how can we regain what we've lost? more than faith and more than culture more than peace and human rights more than a paycheck///verse: expression is commodity a lady gaga oddity an iheartmusic awards ceremony/but nothing really means anything the things you paint the songs i sing/nobody is living life in infamy/the rich are born on top regardless of the politics its hardly ever left or right or bloody communists/isis and the bolsheviks the christians who bomb abortion clinics sixteen year old kids shooting up other kids///chorus: and they are all on and the same/the game that turned them on the worlds the game we're forced to play/they disenfranchised the human race/they'll taze us and they'll mace us then make us into memes and laugh about it///outro part: robots taking over with the elite/they eat fois gras and we eat dog meat/oh god but look how clean our teeth are/they'll find their way with technological leaps/counting and taxing all of their sheep/i say let it burn so we can start over/ i guess theres some days it doesnt seem fair, but then i remember i just dont care/i'll stare them in the face as my bodies burning/fuck the whales and the rainforest too/thats not the worst thing that they do/they've caged our hearts and thats unforgivable///]

"koalapocalypse part 3 (the underwhelming finale?!) by k0ala?! (and the K-Holes)

[soundclip is danny macbride from 30 minutes or less]
Wrote and recorded this one over the last 30 hours or so. recorded it this morning. here it is. It's my form response to all those who ask "what do you do?" and those who get upset when i say "i dont work, that's for sure". 

***lyrics***
[verse:  do you wanna be a robot?/ punch a time card, two and a half kids/munching down on zoloft/make excuses like 'it is what it is'/do you really think its worth it?/sit and let your soul evaporate/is that something you can forfit/do you really need me to elaborate?/everybodys scared shitless/theyre assuming theres only one way/like theyll be on the shitlist/if theyre groomings off in any way/all the voices resonating/fear holds us back from what we are/so we all move to the suburbs/and buy a gas-electric car///chorus: no i dont work like a jerk cause i've seen what it does, it's not worth it/i might be broke you may think i'm a joke, and if i lose i deserve it//but i live like a dog cause i cant be a cog for the plan to rule man oh god damn why do i try to justify it?/ the way that i live yeah it's degenerate but its better than the well known alternative, i won't lie about it///verse: first there were my parents, went to college and they got good jobs/put their money into interest, got insurance fire, quake and flood/then i got arrested and then my dad got really sick/they lost all their money now moms living in the sticks/my ex girlfriends parents  worked their way up from throwing paper routes all the way to the suburbs/and they both ran the local daily news/but they had their employment pulled out from right under their feet/now they live in the boonies, old and poor and eating old canned meat///repeat chorus///outro part: There's no use in offering an exucse my refuse is piling up high now/i just cant choose to consent to abuse i'm a loser and i won't deny it/maybe i'm greedy and maybe i'm needy and maybe i'm just fucking lazy/all i can say is when i look at the way that they live they're the ones who look crazy]

"No Trabajo" by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

Reaching to new depths of absurdity with these lyrics. I just stopped giving a shit half way through and started writing whatever would fill the space....this lead to references about marilyn manson, the wonder years, and always sunny in philidelphia. Enjoy?

"antifolk superstar" by k0ala?! (and the K-Holes)

Started writing this around midnight. Finished writing around 3:30 a.m. Recorded in the toyota tacoma in pitch black for another few hours, mixed the song, was done by 6;33. I apologize for any anomalies, low levels, pops, hisses etc. I was just too exhausted to do any better.

"Fresh Death/Fractured Lungs" by k0ala?! (and the k-holes)

I wrote/recorded this one yesterday afternoon. It came about after a long debate with a hippy friend of mine who is very into bernie sanders winning these elections. My point has always remained the same, that there is no choice and that every one of these people is equally shitty. I don't hate/love trump more or less than sanders. I don't care. They're both wicked demons who have no interest in my welfare or anyone elses. Remember kids, DONT VOTE! Democracy is a sham.

{lyrics: 
VE1: and to all those at the polls you're wasting momentum, there's never been a choice no not at all. Write and sing for them a beautiful anthem, they dont deserve it, do not answer their call. They promise the things your ego is hung up on. But they cant give us anything we need. You give them all you have, wind up with nothing. They hand you a hot pile of shit, you hand them the keys. CH: Every four years they pull the wool over our eyes, every four years we feel screwed, every four years, we're scraping bumper stickers off, feeling let down whether they win or they lose. VE2: I wouldnt waste going, waste my time voting for someone - Someone who couldnt care less what happens to me. Even if trump and sanders seem like the fun ones to everyone else, they still seem like cunts to me. Best case scenario they count our votes and it's mob rule, worst case they decide not to count them at all. With the electoral college, delegates and lobbyists, this choice is like your choices at the mall. Repeat CHORUS.
Outro part: Did you think that Bernie Sanders was your friend? and that he'd give you free college and medicine? Or that he'd finally start up that revolution that all the hippies thought was coming? Did you put all your hope into donald trump? And think that he'd give everyone who voted a new gun? And hope he'd kick out all the blacks and mexicans, like every day would be bright and sunny? Do you still think there is a difference, it's like "fox news sucks, but CNN gets it!", but the dozen companies that cut all their paychecks are the ones who fund these motherfuckers. It's not just two party its now just two candidate and we're so jaded, we just sit and handle it, and work around the fact that its scandalous, and waste time voting for guns and gays and cannabis.]

NOTE: I don't mean to say guns gays and pot aren't awesome! They are. I love all three. I'm just saying that voting for things is a vapid way to get them done.

"Four More Years (unrock the vote)" by k0aLa?! (and the K-Holes)

I've been bored. There was a snow storm. So here's a Hank Jr. Cover (not to be confused with Hank Williams or Hank Williams III).

"O.D.'d in Denver" (Hank Williams Jr. cover) by k0ala?! (and the A-Holes?)

(***New videos up on youtube. The page for my americana/roots side project Koala?! and the Exploding Meth Lab can now be found at www.soundcloud.com/theexplodingmethlab
KOALA has been making d.i.y. bedroom outsider lo-fi anti folk punk since 2003, but due to mental illness and drug addiction he lost his focus and nothing ever came of it. After sobering up and regaining a degree of sanity, he began writing and recording again in the fall of 2015. 
K0ALA was raised in Los Angeles and grew up in the punk rock and hardcore scene, moving into indie and noise rock in his young adulthood. Influences are taken from punk and hardcore, from indie folk and indie rock, from noise rock, from outsider, from folk punk, from early americana-roots, from folk and country, from alt. country and antifolk, even from the lyricism of hip hop (i.e. wu tang clan, del the funky homosapien, asher roth, el-p).

KOALA has long aimed to cultivate the chaos and urgency in his own life and capture it in his songs (whether he has failed at this or not is up to you). Noise, fuzz, overdrive, feedback, off key vocals, detuned guitars, cheap recording equipment, and of course chain smoking cheap cigarettes all add up to make the fucking mess that is KOALA?! AND THE K-HOLES
