ROB COONS – PURSUIT OF DISORDER.

“I want someone to be able to walk up to my photo & feel the happiness, the rage, the sadness; the intensity of the moment. Pure emotion and energy.”

The New-School Origins of The Acid Tests. #ChinookJustice

“Invited by colleagues during his time as a graduate student at Stanford University, Ken Kesey volunteered to be a test subject & night guard in hallucinogenic government studies to supplement his income. His time as an MK-ULTRA subject directly inspired his 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest; he often had chances to chat with mental patients, on & off psychedelics. Over time, he didn’t believe them to be insane, but more or less sectioned off from society because they didn’t fit within conventional standards of behavior…”

DESMADRE – NEGATIVE SHINE.

LUIS: Art is everything within creating a vibration of sound, whether it be cumbia, hardcore, rap, metal… It’s our creative expression, from Chucky coming up with a riff, to the creative bassline that Brando lays down, to the backbone of the drum parts and Martin’s interpretation of that, to whatever Carlos ends up writing out… Whatever he’s feeling from the energy that’s already been ignited by the collective of the band. It’s an artistic expression, from the jump, through and through. And from there, how do you take a song and translate that energy through the album cover, the video, and the local artists that we work with, all to represent the band…
