Some time last year this chick from Belgium interviewed us. The whole thing is posted here -

This is just a snibit. Get to the bottom for the video Lanyo talks about talks about talks about references yeah.
IN YOUR MUSIC DESCRIPTION YOU WRITE ‘JAPANESE CLASSIC MUSIC’. NOW, I LISTENED TO YOUR TRACKS AND I DON’T HEAR ANYTHING JAPANESE IS YOUR SONGS?! I NEED AN EXPLANATION...
Law: “We were drunk in Dallas at the What? Records compound and everyone was creeping on the Myspace, changing things. I think I did that one.”
LB: “I wish we could go to Japan. I've been into "Kure Kure Takora". Check it out on Youtube. I love to eat baby octopus at the sushi bar!” -
AS WELL AS FOR THE NAME OF THE DRUMMER. AND WHY IS HE THE ONLY ONE WITH SUCH A STRANGE NAME?
Haque: “What's wrong with my name?”
Law: “He is strange indeed.”
LB: “He is a hack!” -
‘IKILLCARS’. WHERE DO YOU GET SUCH A NAME. IT’S PROBABLY THE FUNNIEST NAME I’VE HEARD IN YEARS!
Law: “Ran into a trash can, ran into a fire hydrant, ran into a tree. Ran into a telephone post. Got ran into. Ran into a truck. Yeah.” (I don’t understand this part but decided not to delete that, because it made me laugh. J)
Haque: “I haven't killed any cars, but I've definitely got it out for them. They get in my way and their horns are so much more powerful than the little bell on my bike. And they're fucking up my planet.”
LB: “I leave the name to J. LAW. It’s better than iliketrains at least.”
JUST IMAGINE THAT CARS WERE NEVER INVENTED. HOW DO YOU THINK WE WOULD MOVE AROUND?
Law: “Quietly?”
LB: “We would move around with disposable teleporters.”
YOU SAID THAT YOU WANT TO COME AND PLAY IN BELGIUM. WHY IS THAT? WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT MY COUNTRY?
Law: “Kwak beer and Dr. Pepper Family. Love the latter more.”
Haque: “And a lot of you speak English, right?”
LB: “Wiertz the Romantic artist. I always liked his painting "The Suicide". He painted depictions of hell, decapitation, and the rage of a Belgian woman!”
Law: “And James Ensor. Skeletons are cool.”
IN AMERICA YOU ONLY SPEAK ENGLISH. BUT WHEN YOU’LL COME TO BELGIUM YOU’LL HAVE TO TALK FRENCH, DUTCH OR GERMAN! CAN YOU SAY ANY SENTENCE IN ONE OF THESE LANGUAGES?
Law: « Vas tu fes en coulie! (I think what he wanted to say was: Vas te faire enculer! J) Montez le volume (very good! J). Spreichen ze deutch? (again, that sounds like Sprechen Sie Deutsch? J).”
Haque: “Ooops”
LB: "pass.”

we'll be be spreading the haste at local shops first,

NOW AT SNAKE EYE VINYL
Located 1101 Navasota Suite 3. That's E. 11th and Navasota.
myspace.com/snakeeyesvinyl

and SOUND ON SOUND on Norht Loop

and CHEAPOS 9th and Lamar

insound second, stay tuned. right now available at shows only. but that can change any hour now. FUCK YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!


The official 'tangible' release of our newest EP 'At Ease With Your Haste' is yet to be determined, but the digital release is NOW! We have completed the mastering and all that, and its available at Insound.com


In case you missed it, we are iKiLLCaRS. You know it. That's Lanyo Bourgeoise and Johny Law rattling out vocals and guitar and bass noises. Featuring Mike Fonseca on these At Ease sessions drums. Mike not only banged the shit out of the drums here, but also helped out with the arrangements on a few tunes here. That kinda cred goes a long way. Right.


These tracks were recorded and mixed at the Bubble here in Austin by Frenchie and CB. They rocked it. And then mastered by Jeff Lipton @ Peerless Mastering. Big fuck yeahs to all yall. And to you listeners too. Buy the shit here....



And read what some folks are saying about it...


Matt Coppens, Terminal Boredom - "iKillCars is a three piece Austin, TX punk rock band combining many elements of garage, post-punk, and straightforward punk, sounding like a good mix of Velvet Underground, Television, Minutemen, and the best of the 1980's SST bands. It's really a very unique and refreshing sound all their own. It's catchy, hard, weird, and just really fucking good.  This is what the Velvet Underground would have sounded like if Lou Reed were growing up in 1980's Southern California. You get 5 songs that sound nothing like the previous track before it. Very solid release."


The Austinist - "In case the name embodying misplaced aggression spelled in an unorthodox fashion that says, "You know what, I don't have to follow your stupid rules of capitalization!" coupled with members' pseudonyms like Johnny Law didn't clue you in, these guys play garagey, punk/rock and roll. The Austin trio's second EP, At Ease With Your Haste, released last month, is replete with distorted guitar riffs, grubby vocals borrowing verse from Allen Ginsberg and steady, medium-paced beats.


One of the stand-out tracks on the 5-song disc is "Hartsfield-Jackson". It has a jangly grit to it, and the scratchy vocals and unpolished production give the track a great rock and roll sound that's hard not to enjoy. When you get to "The Teeners" and you hear the group – guitarist and vocalist Law, bassist and vocalist Lanyo Bourgeois – along with what sounds like a few others singing along to a chorus of "We love The Teeners!" it's hard to decipher whether or not this is a genuine shout-out of appreciation to another Austin band or it's meant to be sarcastic and there's a hip-hop-style rivalry here. It's probably the former, but what do you think?"


And Adam Scott's review in the Norman Transcript one blog down...

Granted we plan to have a super-witty "now playing" pic at the bottom of this here blog, at the moment, we are listening to these cats Black Shirts. believe they are new to Austin, from LA, and the Dodgers are playing, WEIRD! yah fuck off.




BLACK SHIRTS



so we deleted a lot of superfluous blog crap, and decided to add this potentially superfluous entry. but really don't you want to know what we are thinking about on a sunday evening? well, we had our ass pants handed to us last thursday, playing the late show after monotonix at the mohawk.

found pics - http://austinist.com/2008/10/10/snapshots_monotonix_the_mohawk.php

that shit was ridiculous. in the air playing, shit not just playing, but not missing a fucking beat, 300 at least mob running from place to place with the band good 75 or so of the folks (and the band of course) spilling onto red river to end things flashing ambulance lights. luckilly the PVC street gang played bw us and them so we didnt feel like complete fags. we let the PVC dudes be the fags, har har, hopefully PVC will come back in December or so and rawk out cawk out with us again . they are tight, gonna listen to them now you should too

oh yeah and THEYRE ALL NAMED CHRIS! HOW COOL IS THAT!?!?!?!




PVC STREET GANG



so i figure there'd be monotonix youtube from the mohawk up but there wasnt but Mr T is way cool jr.





ok, now, so maybe things slowdown for the next month for us, maybe not. well, that last thursday, man, wore us down. no. really we're gonna come at you soon with some new songs, one we're playing out now, well, you missed it if you havent seen us soon. guess you gotta way til the rocktober is over or some shit. but new tunes coming. and also breathing with freshness here...

Lanyelle has got some Broke Beads shit going on - http://www.myspace.com/brokebeads

BH Haque is doing Damage Pants and Soda Diet

And Sr. Law is E Static in the Followed By Static

I think thats it. Still no EP but soon so soon. and still rocking the PVC, so no playing like we're listening to Eddie Murphy or Cindi Lauper or the GI joe soundtrack. BH probably is listening to GI joe for real. whatever

Fun iKiLLCaRS EP easy to get 'At Ease With'

At Ease With Your Haste

What? Records

 

I was privileged to catch one of the last shows at Liberty D's last February, shortly before its too-briefly-reopened doors closed forever (and mysteriously vanished). The bill that night was the always-entertaining local band Drives Like a Dream (sadly now also of similar status to Liberty D's) and Austin-based garage-punkers iKiLLCaRS.

Around that time I also reviewed the then-trio's first EP "Becky" after it was generously given to me by a member of DLAD.

Down to two members, Johnny Law on vocals and guitar and Lanyo Bourgeois on bass (plus drums by whichever kind/talented soul from the Austin scene can help out here and there), iKiLLCaRS' new EP release, "At Ease With Your Haste" preserves the energy of "Becky," and packs in a few more minutes of music (21 as opposed to 18 minutes) to boot.

Opening track "Hartsfield-Jackson" gets things rolling nicely with jangly rough guitar-centric post-punk. And it just gets better from there.

"San Jose, 1972" is a cover of sorts, doing a skillful job of setting the off-kilter rage of the late iconoclastic Beat poet Allen Ginsberg to music and evoked some of the early-punk feel of their first effort's "Donuts (Make Great Girlfriends)."

"The Teeners" is apparently an unabashed shout-out to the band's younger fans and has some catchy-as-all-get-out guitar grooves that doubtless make it a fave at their live shows down South.

"Butcher's Block" gets a little heavy and reminded me of what a lost "B" side from the earliest days of Alice in Chains might sound like; it's echo-y fun and somehow captures the spirit of a blackout-preceded hangover of uncertain origin at 5 p.m. on a cold, cloudy Sunday on an unfamiliar floor. It's a long one at right about seven minutes, but I found it to be a good break from the otherwise forceful energy of the rest of "At Ease With Your Haste."

It's a part of the album's definite build that culminates with energetic closing track "Radio Roche."

With such lyrics as "You can live the vision/On this one condition/When you feel the friction/Blow 'em all away," iKiLLCaRS reminds us why the Lone Star State's special zeitgeist yields great music even as it terrifies those unfortunate or stupid enough to get on the bad side of its well-armed citizenry.

Yes, it's an EP, but between this and the likewise-affordable "Becky," iKiLLCaRS makes the equivalent of a caliber of get-up-and-skank album to which this music reviewer is seldom treated.

Be on the lookout for "At Ease with Your Haste" and be blown away too; the CD is dropping at an as-yet-unnamed date this spring.
