FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE - Cdr (Self Released) "Early tape recordings."
LEFT HANDED GIANTS/FAMILY TOOTH ACHE - Cdr (Curor Recordings) "Supremely malevolent live sicktrance from the handsome duo of Bill Kouligas and Harry Astras. Ululating, creepy sci-fi tones, a spine of almost melodies vibrating like massive jellyfish stranded in deep, dark starfields and psychedelic noise moves that draw static and gravity from the more Hawkwind-reverent moves of CCCC and Hototogisu blown apart with touches of homemade eternal music and factory-scale Kosmiche ala Faust. Edition of 100 copies in handmade sleeves." DAVID KEENAN
CRAWLING MADNESS - Cdr (Self Released) "Recorded live in London. March 2006. Comes in two diffirent layouts. All handmade."
VOMIT DOLLS - Cdr (Turgid Animal) "Collage of live recordings. Greek Bill provides the hits! Feedback squelches and toe-breaking barrel experiments! Audio vomit, Brighton style. Comes in PVC sleeve with insert and tissue. Copies made to order." GEORGE PROCTOR
FROZEN WOMB - Tape (Beyond Repair) "A meditative and heavy psyched drone flight. Comes in a beautiful orange/blue slpashed cassette slip case with paste-on artwork. (Edition of 60)"
SPIRAL GROWL - Cdr (Long Long Chaney) "Two long tracks from this nocturnal guitar/noise/vox cabal featuring Bill Kouligas and Harry Astras. First track is a whorl of metal noise submerged in deep, slow moving loops of weeping melancholy ala William Basinski. Second track has more of a Dead C/amps reduced to cinders feel. In colour silkcreened sleeves." DAVID KEENAN
FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE & DATASHOCK - Live in Stuttgart Tape (Tape Tektoniks) "Collaboration set recorded live in a shut down train in Stuttgart during their uk/german tour in 2006. beware! this jam resurrects dead train conductors. edition of 50." TAPE TEKTONIKS
BRAIN FRIED ETERNALLY - Cdr (Arbor) "Family Battle Snake is totally cerebral. Dense drones creep and evolve slowly but surely with every pace. The mechanical hums and vocal hymns are interwoven with enough horns and mic'd clatter to fill every nook of your room leaving nothing untouched. Once again, a loud release, but still very soothing. Completely submerged. In a numbered edition of 90 Cdrs in stamped/sprayed custom digipacks." MIKE POLLARD
OWL XOUNDS / FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE - split Cassette/CDR (Blackest Rainbow) "This is seriously good... Owl Xounds side is two live tracks recorded earlier this year on Washington and is total freak out free jazz venturing into the world of noise through the insane pummeling Kriney gives the drums... This is incredible. The Family Battle Snake side is the duo of Bill Kouligas and Harry Astras and again is recorded edited work from London and Athens. Total blitz of the sense here with Harry remaining happy on guitar and Bill grabbing anything he can get his hands on from sax to drums to electronics and more... A total wall of destruction is built and then smashed straight down again... fully mind blowing. Both formats are in a handnumbered edition of 50 each." JOE BLANCHARD
DEMENTED MIND AMPUTATION - Cdr (Cut Hands) "Sleak Greek Bill Kouligas and his buddy Harry Astras are back with this new ultra scuzzy platter of psyched out drone. When I first played this joint it reminded me of Double Leopards' Savage Summer Sun but completely buried under a pile of rotten murk. Traces of saxophone in there too, like fading smoke vanishing into a sweet Nothing. 65 copies in slimline, squared dvd cases with black and white photo art. Total package in brown paper bag with Cut Hands logo."PERSISTING FINGER VOID - CDr (Meatus)

Bill Kouligas Related:
CROATAN ENSEMBLE - Cdr (Tilt recordings) "Behind the Croatan Ensemble with find Bill Kouligas of Family Battle Snake and Iason of PS Stamps Back. Playing around with computer technology he sorts of hits upon something that is a very nice cross over between noise, microsound and even vaguely bits of minimal rhythm music. However things never get out of hand in the noise field, and never drops below -20 db in the microsound section nor does it get danceable. The appearance of Kouligas makes this at times a bit more noisy, but throughout the pieces develop in a strict linear way, and the pieces can hold the attention throughout. Quite nice." FRANS DE WAARD

ASHTRAY NAVIGATIONS / FAMILY BATTLE SNAKE / STELLAR OM SOURCE - How Do Siamese Twins Arrange Their Love Lives? LP (Absurd / Editions_Zero)
SUDDEN INFANT / BILL KOULIGAS - Split Cdr (Absurd) "Last-minute contender for gig of the year was the recent Glasgow date that paired a furious Prurient set with an inspired, funny, visceral onslaught from the duo of Sudden Infant's Joke Lanz and Bill Kouligas of Family Battle Snake. Between the two of them they managed to bridge classic early Industrial junkyard ritual - complete with fucked new wave ballads that combined the bombed-out architectures of AV Borsig, Abwarts, Neubauten with quirky electro rhythms and DIY pop rants - and beautifully streamlined modern noise euphoria. It was a fucking blast. They had this CD with em, not a collaboration, but an excellent split that demonstrates the kinda muscle both sides bring to the table in their amazing live collaborations. Sudden Infant side is Live At The Gluerooms, London. Comes sealed inside a printed/stickered reflective silver bag, limited copies available. Recommended." DAVID KEENAN
