For 2015, we are trying something new with 312-DRY-TOFU. In the same spirit of They Might Be Giant’s Dial-A-Song (which is being reborn in 2015) we will be doing the same thing with songs and tracks from the Severe and Profound Studios & Records.
We hope you enjoy.
We managed to capture a rare performance by the (Heart) Rokita Band, a three piece band from the Greater Lafayette area, at last night’s (October 4th, 2013) Vienna Open Mic. This bootleg is a censored version due to a request of the employees. Apparently there were children present.
Don’t worry. Rumor has it that a complete, uncensored, polished studio version will be released soon.

Lyrics:
You’re spectacular, but you gotta be frugal.
You’re beautiful, but you got to be honest.
You gotta be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!
You always do what’s best for us.
3/5 of the 4th District got your back.
You gotta be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!
Insidious people write insidious laws.
Don’t worry Congressman, we gerrymandered for the cause.
We should all be more like Todd Rokita!
Mother fucker don’t never do no wrong!
It was a humid July evening. Downtown Lafayette. The stairs by the Buttery Shelf. Mosey Down Main Street. Throughout the course of the evening, over 70 people have cheered for The Next Columbine (Tyrant Trent, D-Block Derek, Blakey Too Tall) publicly.
Described as “bad ass, kick ass, pretty much the best”, this stoop-metal band has played more than a few concrete slabs in their day.
On this particular occasion, they chose to play the July 13th Mosey Down Main Street due to the “millions” of captive audience members they could subject to their noise. After our ears bled (we forgot our plugs), we tried to encourage them to allow fill-ins, explore side projects, and get as many people involved in their artistic circle.
Enjoy the interview and bootleg of their single, Charybdis Deep.

Doberman. Loud. Noisy. Theatric. Shin splitting gravel sounds emitted through various amplifiers. The show opened with some found sound from an interview and then broke way to a larger cacophony of sounds, supplied by its diverse instrumentation.
In this locals-only show Wasps Masks, The Unusual Few, and the Gestalts also took the stage throughout the night for a fun, high energy, and loud, knock’em around show at Foam City.
