HEllo friends, we have posted a NEW SONG from our next record called "STASH." The new song is titled "Habacuc Vargas is a murderer!" Guillermo "habacuc" Vargas was the so called artist best known for the controversy caused when he exhibited an emaciated dog in a gallery in Nicaragua in 2007. The dog was left with no food or water and died a couple of days later in the gallery. We thought this was appalling so we wrote this song about it! Hope you like it!

Love,
The BRAND

Wow I just read the link and that is truely disgusting. My stomach just turned, I am no longer hungry on my lunch hour. It is irrelivent that the dog would have died anyways. He tormented the dog further for the sake to elevate himself. What a deplorable human being.

I must clarify that the SONG is titled "Habacuc Vargas is a Murderer", not the entire album. Just in case anyone was confused.

Leo, you kind of look like the cat in the accomplished graphic. Too bad it wasn't a dog. I'm thinking though, is the artist as much to blame as the museum patrons? Perhaps he was only testing our ability to rationalize our own lack of action in adhearence to a stupid social pretense? No Touching the Paintings!

"Hello everyone. My name is Guillermo Habacuc Vargas. I am 50 years old and an artist. Recently, I have been criticized for my work titled "Eres lo que lees", which features a dog named Nativity. The purpose of the work was not to cause any type of infliction on the poor, innocent creature, but rather to illustrate a point. In my home city of San Jose, Costa Rica, tens of thousands of stray dogs starve and die of illness each year in the streets and no one pays them a second thought.

Now, if you publicly display one of these starving creatures, such as the case with Nativity, it creates a backlash that brings out a big of hypocrisy in all of us. Nativity was a very sick creature and would have died in the streets anyway."

But there is a point in there.... I can't say I agree 100%, but it makes me think of all the other people in the world suffering the same fate as Nativity. We all just turn a blind eye, we choose to stay ignorant. Why don't you think of this for a second, what if instead of a dog, it was a starving child?

Additionally, it has not been confirmed that Nativity actually died. The other story is that the dog escaped.
