are you planning on going to Nashville ! (or Scarbourgh Fair ? :-)

I'm trying to focus more on Americana-roots centered music for a while. This is one of those new ones. I will be posting all of these ones to a separate account "k0ala?! (and the Exploding Meth Lab) sooner or later.

lyrics:
[verse: In this mountain range we've been forgotten/the scraps of white america dwell here/everything in our fridges are rotten/except the mescaline and malted beer/wake up with my jeans on find the banjo/its missing strings but it will have to do/play like I am that crippled guy django/sing a song from 1932///chorus: We live like animals in cages/working for the lowest wages/stage coach robbery and bootlegging for a living/unforgiving///verse: There's no priveleage here where I am staying/there's no difference between us and them/police want to kill us with a shiv and/steal our stockpiles of heroin/but we could drugs more than we cook food here/we're hungry but we couldn't eat a thing/stray dogs roam the streets with the tweakers/and I'm here with a couple broken strings///repeat chorus]

"Unforgiving (white ghetto)" by k0aLa?! (and the Exploding Meth Lab)

A great song by the god of country Charlie Poole

"If I lose, I don't care (charlie poole cover)" by Koala and the K-Holes

Finally got to use the little kid's keyboard i got from a yard sale. Warning, the keys arent exactly what you'd call responsive. Excuse my slight lack of rythm.

"Disconnected" by Koala and the K-holes

"Like Black Francis (another lyrical exercise)" by Koala and the K-Holes

Ive wanted to record a cover of this for about 8 years. Finally did it. I always thought it was just too obvious...too similar to my own style. But, fuck it. I dont care....lol....oops....i said "buttfuck it".

The image is of my son, born june 22nd.

"Rejoice (andrew jackson jihad cover)" by kOaLa?! [and the K-Holes]

"No Fucking Tears"

"No Tattoos (2nd version)" by koala and the k-holes

"Steak for Chicken (moldy peaches cover)" by Koala and the K-Holes

A re-recording. Basically just changed one line.

"Fresh Death/Fractured Lungs (second version)" by Koala and the K-Holes

Ive been periodically covering this song for about a decade and a half but never actually recorded it until now....for better or for worse.

"Love you more (buzzcocks cover)" by Koala and the K-Holes

I re-recorded this one for two reasons. 1.I wanted one without distortion and 2.Its an older song of mine that i thought deserved a second chance.

"Chalk Outline (2nd version)" by Koala and the K-Holes

(There's new videos up on youtube, and I have opened a page for my new Americana/roots based project Koala?! and the Exploding Meth Lab. It can be found at www.soundcloud.com/theexplodingmethlab)

Press Quotes:

"I literally almost shit my pants while listening to Koala?! and the K-Holes...But in a good way. My ears were bleeding and my underwear were stained with feces, but it was worth every horrible moment!" -Pitchfork Magazine

"When I first heard Koala?! and the K-Holes I thought to myself 'who do they sound like?' and when it finally came to me I realized they were the spitting image of the Arcade Fire, if the Arcade fire were, like, 78% less shitty of a band" - NME 

"Koala and the K-holes made me campaign to get the name of the zine changed to MAXIMUM FULK!, but they wouldn't agree because they said only posers like marsupials" - Maximum Rock n Roll

"If there were just one artist to listen to while engaging in questionably legal sex with animals, koala?! and the k-holes would totally be it! They're like Dave Matthews Band for severely retarded bonobo apes!" - Spin magazine
