Be sure to visit the other NOmeansno myspace page to check out the new music file I uploaded this afternoon.

Longtime fans may recall that originally You Kill Me came out on vinyl in 1985 and was appended to the Alternative Tentacles CD released of Sex Mad a couple years later. The band had to remix the tracks and add some triggered snares (due to a poor original recording) so the original version of You Kill Me sounds mildly different than the CD version most people are familiar with.

So, enjoy a little "Manic Depression" from the vinyl edition of You Kill Me.

Also be sure to check out "Look Here Come the Wormies", a track from the first 7" single Nomeansno released waaaaaay back when.

Be sure to add yourself to friends lists for both Nomeansno myspace pages. "My sp ace is wrong" features lively commentary courtesy of...well, I don't want to give anything away...but it's not a band member...but it could be W. Buzz Ryan Jr. The other myspace page has suspiciously peculiar graphics, different songs to add to your profile and even more photos of the band.

Cheers to everyone who plans to turn out to the Vancouver show on June 29th!

nice to see you getting the hang of this thing, kabukiboy!

Guitarist/thematic coordinator/fashion guru/de facto band leader Tom Holliston has announced to the world via CBC Radio that NoMeansNo will be taking an extended hiatus effective immediately. Holliston, long seen as the creative force behind NoMeansNo, said the band will create a new side project called Septic Fist, which will explore the seedy underbelly of Klezmer jazz and accordian duets. The music, which Holliston explored while backpacking through Estonia in 1984 (a period of time in which he composed the music for You Kill Me and hired the Wright Brothes and Andy Kerr to perform), will focus on mixing the allure of such genre illuminaries as Elvis Costello, Fastway and Al Jolson in a setting befitting of traditional Klezmer as performed by African pygmy tribes.

As the US tour approaches, Holliston has informed CBC listeners that the dates will be fulfilled by "union musicians" doing spot duty. Rumored understudies include pianist Mark Critchley (last seen performing as the entire backup gospel choir for Bono's Benefit Concert for Ghana Theme Parks Now!), guitarist He Who Cannot Be Named, and comic book enthusiast Steve K., who simply just looked too good in spandex and makeup to pass up.

For Immediate Release:
NoMeansNo will be performing 2 songs - yet to be determined - on Mel's Rock Pile, Monday September 25th, in Toronto, at Univac Studios on Bertmount avenue.

Yes, A Live, In The Studio performance before a studio audience of capacity 100. Admission is free, but tickets are limited. Other artists confirmed for this very popular 30 minute weekly programme are ex-Can bassist Holger Czukay and collegiate songbird Stephanie Rochman. One additional artist will appear, live, on the show; we can't say who it is but he is a former Beatle.

Mel's Rock Pile is North America's longest running live rock event televison show. First aired way back in 1967, this popular weekly programme has show cased the talents of literally thousands of recording artists. From Alvin Lee to Human Sexual Response, Mel Slurp (the canadian John Peel) has hosted them all! No One has ever lip sinced on this successfull show! Not Milli Vanilli, not Ed Hospodar.

This will be NMN's 3rd appearance, and the quartets first since 1997(!) on Mel's Rock Pile.

NOMEANSNO TOUR IN JEOPARDY!

Lawyers, barristers and management executives at the NOmeansno corporate headquarters received an ominous letter from the producers of much beloved game show Jeopardy that are requiring all time champion Rob Wright to reappear on the show to demonstrate his ability to question the answers. Naysayers in the game show community have expressed great concern that not only was Wright performing at a level inconsistent with the level of challengers, but game answers were being tailored to his expertise of Chinese caligraphy, sewer systems of ancient Amazon tribes, and Airwolf trivia. Jeopardy producers are bringing Wright back during the fall tour to place him against competitors not in the Junior category and plan to have NOmeansno perform their rendition of Weird Al's "I Lost on Jeopardy" in lieu of that trite conversation Alex Trebeck has with each day's contestants.

NOMEANSNO ANNOUNCES LINE-UP CHANGE!

In the spirit of such artists as Iron Maiden, Leatherwolf and Bad Religion and to celebrate the shift in the band's music to a more solo friendly style, Tom Holliston and NOmeansno are announcing a shift in their lineup from the classic power trio format to a triple axe attack. The band has recruited guitarist Katherine Thomas, perhaps best known as The Great Kat, and drummer John Wright will finally leave his drum chair to man rhythm guitar, something he described in a E! interview as "a dream come true". The changes will allow Holliston to finally be able to show his skills as Canada's very own Tony MacAlpine and free up his playing for more extended lead solos and fretwork. NOmeansno has had some difficulty finding a replacement for drummer, as apparently the percussion community has little interest in the simple playing demonstrated by NOmeansno. Rather than pay wages to a new, untested member, producer Blair Calibaba has put together a drum machine program that will replicate John Wright's minimalistic playing style as well as a "random" feature on the drum machine that will allow the band to continue their tradition of twenty to thirty minute jam sessions that often finish live concert encores.

NOmeansno will embark on a minitour of Haiti, Honduras and Puerto Rico to break in the new lineup before the US tour starts this fall.

Manic Depression (with Victims Family, Le Silo + middle aged hippie drunk howling into microphone for 6 minutes straight)

Having been completely underwhelmed by Swervediver on Friday night, I now demand that Nomeansno come back to Australia and sort some shit out.

There, I said it.

i don't see the connection.

who'd play support?

They're two bands dogbastard knows. CONNEXION

Non sequiturs aside, NoMeansNo NEED to come to Australia stat.

who's next if NoMeansNo disappoint?

DAD! NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!

there's always discussions about this on the NMN forum...

i don't see the connection.

They're two bands I like. A lot.

I've heard talk of a NMN tour this year. I find it hard to believe they'll disappoint, but I've been wrong before...

holy shit! this version is killer!

got my hopes up for tour news.

still, considering i thought i'd never see them, and having now seen them twice, i can't complain too much.

No news, just massive appreciation for this band getting me through my work day.

The WRONG album by the Wright Brothers.

Nomeansno/ Hanson Brothers tour would be super-fantastic, somebody make it so!

Strange I've never posted in this thread before as I'm a big NMN fan. Yes, someone bring them out pronto!
