Rock, Paper, DEATH canceled its San Francisco appearance, the first concert on its "St. Agnes" tour, hours before the fabled "Urban affiliated metal cover band" was to perform, leading at least one fan to complain, "The 'Rock' has left Rock, Paper, DEATH." Rumors surrounding the band indicate that the two founders, song chooser Dimitri "Meat Tree" Staszewski and song player Patrick "Pelt" Swan, may be splitting and going their separate ways as of the band's last show in May. Other members of the band and band insiders are reportedly trying to keep the peace. "I've been trying to keep the peace," said one band insider. Fans outside of the concert hall, many of whom had camped out for three days, were heard chanting "More Rock, Less Death."
However, as the Rock dies, "lawyers for Staszewski and Swan are filing papers to hasten the death of Rock, Paper, DEATH," according to one industry wag.
In the meantime, Staszewski placed an apology on the band's website last night. "Sorry I was so unorganized, but there will be more opportunities to melt face." There was no word from Swan or his representatives.
Meat Tree?
ReplyDelete"Meat Tree" is Dimitri's stage name. Di Meat Tree.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very metal name.
Perhaps you should read the authorized bio of the band: Melting Faces with Rock, Paper, Death. Or you can watch the PBS American Masters Documentary: Gods of Metal. It's all about RPD.
I heard the band went downhill after the lead singer left back in October.
ReplyDeleteWe haven't performed since that fateful day. Instead, we've been in one or the other of our two state-of-the-art studios in St. Tropez and Daly City melting faces in the streets nearby and even our own with our own heaviness -- in the metal sense that is.
ReplyDeleteWe have a new "singer," but "singer" is too weak to describe the hammering hammer that is her voice. Dimitri had to purchase bigger amps with bigger sound just to be heard over the sonic bomb of our new singer's voice. Don't worry, ear plugs WILL be distributed at our shows for the weak and lame and other Abba fans who've found themselves at the wrong show.
But it will be so right.
Besides our last singer moved to Canada ... or should I say "Can't ada" where the only metal is aluminum foil.
Actually, the only metal in Canada is . . . silver.

Ah, clearly you've been too busy trashing hotel rooms to watch the news.
ReplyDelete(I have heard amazing things about the new singer. But until RPD brings it to the big stage, it's nothing but speculation.)
