One For The Weekend: Timmy's Organism

Timmy's Organism rocks The Baby G on April 13. Check out "Fly Your Red Flag" off their new Lone Lizard album below.

Here's the scoop...

Element 115 is a mysterious, superheavy element that has 115 protons in its nucleus. It is said in the UFO community to be the power source for dimension bending alien spacecraft. It is also found in the tone of Timmy Vulgar’s gravity defying riffs. 

To describe Timmy’s Organism as heavy, is as fundamental in concept to our human existence as the drone of blood pumping in beat to our hearts. Guitarist & singer Vulgar, bassist Jeff “Giant’ Fournier, and Scott Dunk on drums, plug into a tradition as hallowed as Ron Asheton’s fuzz pedal on The Stooges's first album or Lemmy’s low end hypnosis on Hawkwind's Doremi. But Timmy’s Organism is more. They are their own thing. 

The new LP Lone Lizard is as confounding, twisted, solid, and heavily out-of-this-world as any sonic offering in the last 300 years . . . as if all the previous Organism records, and those of Vulgar’s past groups Clone Defects, Human Eye, and Epileptix never existed… or have always existed. 

Timeless is the rhythm. The musicianship and sense of arrangement on Lone Lizard is jazz-esque in its double-commitment to loose precision. Lyrically, the record ranges from "Peyote Moments" surreal truths: "Like the ancient ways of the secyalapoid . . . bring me back to the desert where the serpents lie in the sun. Telling their fibs into my ears, I will not hear!" to the naked-to-the-bone vulnerability of "Tracy Trouble": "My heart melting continues, I just wanted a sober kiss. Like our young love days! But the dealer stole you away! . . . You chased the dragon to the stars, please come back into my arms." 

Few bands have a discography that includes labels Sacred Bones, In the Red, Third Man Records, Goner, Hozac, and Total Punk. Pick up your headphones, plug into the jack, press play, and let this dimension’s premier and only acid punk space glam power trio make you feel like the first time over and again. – Chet Weise

Timmy's Organism previews new album with "Guzzle Gasoline"

Check out the new video for "Guzzle Gasoline" (below) off Survival Of The Fiendish out Friday on Burger Records. 

Here's the scoop...

Other  Timmy  Vulgar  records  started  with  gladiator-entrance  tympani  drums  or  advice  to  watch  the  skies,  but  Survival  of  the  Fiendish – out October 5th on Burger Records – starts  with  a  motor  turning  over  because, as we  learned  from  Road  Warrior, the  only  way  to  live  is  to  live  fast!

Timmy  (guitar/vocals)  made  the album  in  six  months  in  spring  2018  with  Jeff  Giant  (bass)  and  Blake  DzBovverdz  Hill  (drums),  two  guys  who've  been  the  beating  about-to-burst  heart  of  the  Organism  for  about  three  albums  now,  including  one  for  Third  Man and  one  for  In The Red.  "I've  been  on  almost  every  single  underground  garage  punk  label  there  is" says  Timmy  proudly,  and  now  he's  the  fresh  meat  on  Burger. You can stream the album right here for the moment and get your own copy directly from Burger Records right here.

So  maybe  you  already  know  this  dude  and  what  he  can  do. Maybe  you  already  bought  one of his records.  Good  job!  Your  reward  is  this  record.  But  the  rest  of  you:  learn  now  what  it  means  to  be  Vulgar.  The  glitter  slime,  the  giant  fake  Timmy  Vulgar  head  that  Timmy  Vulgar  wore  as  a  mask  over  his  own  actual  head,  the  octopus  which  Timmy  Vulgar  also  wore  on  his  head-that's  all  true.  He's  from  Detroit,  but  not  like  the KISS "Detroit  Rock  City" Detroit.  He's  from  the  "Panic  In  Detroit"  Detroit,  the  "Murder  City"  Detroit – he  has  a  song  about  that  here!-the  dope-guns-and-fucking-in-the-street  Detroit.  More  precisely,  he's  from  Hamtramck,  where  he  does  the  Panic  In  Hamtramck  fest.  But he also  comes  from  ...  not  another  planet,  exactly,  although  he  sure  looks  like  it  when  he  plays. "I think I was  abducted  by  aliens  for  a  little  while  there,"  he  shrugs.  Call  it  a  foreign-exchange  program!

So  how  about  Iggy's  "Kill  City"?  Timmy  Vulgar's  been  to  his  own  Kill  City.  Crime's  "San  Francisco's  Doomed"?  The  Pagans  "Dead  End  America"?    Vulgar's  been  there,  too-the  doomed  metropolis,  or  the  go-nowhere  street  where  nobody  lives.  And  the  Weirdos  "Solitary  Confinement"?  Testors "Madras  Prison"?  Vulgar  busted  outta  both!  He  makes  his  music  by  instinct  and  inspiration,  with  a  relentless  sharks-keep-moving  work  ethic  and  a  bone-deep  dedication  to  making  something  individual  and  by  sheer  force  of  nature.  His intimidating  record  collection,  a  global  catalog  of  the  aggressively  uncategorizable-those  are  his  tools,  he  says,  and  maybe  his  fuels,  too.  And  he  uses  them  to  make  Timmy  Vulgar  records.  When  you  hear  a  Timmy  Vulgar  record,  you  will  know  it's  a  Timmy  Vulgar  record  and  nobody  else's  record.

Survival  of  the  Fiendish  is  an  extremely  Timmy  Vulgar  record.  Even  more  Vulgar!  It's  as  Vulgar  as  Vulgar  gets. And  think  of  this  record  as  a  real-deal  message  from  the  underworld,  by  a  person  who  couldn't  deliver  anything  less.  It's  been  almost  twenty  years  and  Timmy  Vulgar  is  still  the  king  of  hard-to-make  (and  harder  to  fake)  rock  'n'  freak  'n'  roll  made  from  black  light  and  white  heat-too  slippery  and  slimy  and  searing-hot  to  the  touch  to  exist  anywhere  in  known  space  but  on  a  Timmy  Vulgar  record,  like  with  Timmy's  Organism  or  Human  Eye  or  Clone  Defects  or  even  his  first  band  Epileptix.  He's  been  covered  in  bloodstains,  killed  by  death,  ripped  from  the  crypt  and  sent  back  from  the  grave.  He  worked  long  and  hard  to  get  you  this  music.  He  went  out  into  the  dark  and  brought  back  fire.  That's  what  must  be  done  to  survive.

Watch the clip for "Guzzle Gasoline" followed by a list of upcoming tour dates. As you can see, Buffalo's Mohawk Place (47 E. Mohawk) on October 16 is as close to Toronto as Timmy and crew are coming this time around.

Timmy's Organism unleash Eating Colors in September

The brutally boss new Timmy's Organism album Eating Colors will be released by Lo & Behold on September 1.

Since setting the scuzz-punk gutter a blaze with the first 1997 release of the EPILEPTIX, Detroit's Timmy Vulgar has continued to release mind-melting music over the last twenty years with his groups CLONE DEFECTS, HUMAN EYE, and his scuz-roq-power-trio TIMMY'S ORGANISM. Backed up by two mental ward escapees (Jeff Giant and Blake "Bovver" Hill) TIMMY'S ORGANISM have just finished their fourth studio album titled "Eating Colors." Check out the video for "Lick Up Your Town" and a live performance of "Monster Walk" below.

Happy Birthday Timmy Vulgar!
