Ziggy Marley Presents: “Marijuana Man” (Hardbound Comic Book)

Posted by cimsmusic on May 3rd, 2011

Alter ego: Sedona
Base of operations: Potfield, CA
Powers/Abilities: When exposed to marijuana Sedona is able to fly, his mental and physical capabilities are heightened to super-natural levels. Also, his Aura is increased giving him the skill to win some battles without resorting to violence. He uses his Aura power “Contact High” to affect the mood of his adversaries. His powers are not permanent and he must recharge after a period of time.
History: Sedona is from the planet Yelram. A lowly janitor, he is inadvertently chosen for a
intergalactic mission to seek out a new source of MHANA , a depleted gas in Yelram.’s atmosphere that is essential to their existence. Sedona travels to Earth and lands in a kibbutz in Potfield, California where he is exposed to marijuana for the first time and is transformed into Marijuanaman. He is befriended by the members and taught the benefits of eco-living. He realizes that Mhana and THC have the same chemical compounds and to save his home planet Yelram, he must first save the kibbutz.’s marijuana and hemp crops from being destroyed by PharmeXon – the most powerful
drug and energy corporation on Earth.

First, he became a hero to his friends, then he became a hero to the World. Loved by many, hated by a few. MARIJUANAMAN – the hero for a new generation. A Champion of Peace, Justice and Eco-living.

Chunklet – The Indie Cred Test

Posted by cimsmusic on May 3rd, 2011

Chunklet’s third book (and first that is self-published)! 192 pages of hate, love, facts and lies. It’s like what a standardized test would be if it grew a pair. A year in the making and a successful Kickstarter campaign behind it, The Indie Cred Test is almost 200 pages of seething hate and muffled giggles. Composed by the diligent staff at Chunklet Magazine, The Indie Cred Test is Chunklet’s crowning achievement. Chunklet’s crosshairs are trained on everything and everybody in their path. Musicians, authors, hipsters, hippies, miniature toy poodles and everything in between. Sixteen chapters, countless sidebars. Do you think you have what it takes to take the test? Like, REALLY take the test? Then crack this monster of a book open on any page and see if you have what it takes. Intense.

Sasquatch – III

Posted by cimsmusic on May 3rd, 2011

Formed in Los Angles back in the year 2001 by Philadelphia transplant Keith Gibbs and Detroit native’s Rick Ferrante & Clayton Charles, Sasquatch has had the pleasure of refining their own brand of super heavy bone crunching rock and roll on the same stages with some of LA’s finest including: Fireball Ministry, Nebula, and Unida which in turn, has quickly helped the band become a local favorite and has helped to develop a name that is synonymous with quality kick ass rock. In 2006, the need for new low end man came up, and Jason Casanova of Tummler jumped in and delivered the goods. Drawing on influences from 70′s metal, rock and psychedelia their songwriting approach is simple and mainly relies on the theories of feel and technique, a sorely missed aspect of most modern day rock amalgamations. But don’t let their technique fool you, tight as they may be, when they come to play the kid gloves are off. Just ask any of the lucky folks who are already privileged enough to have seen them live, you will fully comprehend what we are talking about…
If any band in this century is fit to follow in the mighty Zeppelin’s footsteps by naming each successive album with it’s corresponding Roman numeral, it has got to be Sasquatch. ”III” picks up right where ”I” and ”II” left off. The men of Sasquatch turn the blues upside down, pass it under a stream of vintage psychedelica, puree it in and blender and then run it through Mojave Amplification.
”III” is the sound of a band coming into its own, finding its footing and standing tall. The songs are thick and fully realized. The sounds resonate and run free like a beast in the wild. And with guests like MonsterMagnet’s Ed Mundell the surprises just don’t stop.
Look for the album in stores this April and on the road this Spring. Catch the beast before it disappears again between the trees.
For fans of: Fu Manchu, Clutch, Alice N Chains, Soundgarden, Deep Purple, Roadsaw, Dixie Witch, Gozu, Dozer
