Tad - Busted Circuits And Ringing Ears (Upcoming DVD)

Quote :

MVD has set a February 19, 2008 release date for the "Busted Circuits and Ringing Ears" DVD from Seattle "grunge" pioneers TAD. According to a press release, the disc contains archival footage spanning the band's entire career, from the club days to the arenas. The documentary also utilizes insightful interviews from some of Seattle's most respected musicians including Krist Novoselic (NIRVANA), Chad Channing (NIRVANA), Kim Thayil (SOUNDGARDEN), Mark Arm (MUDHONEY), Mark Felchtone (ZEKE), and many others.

The audience will be taken on a musical journey from the highest of the highs, to the bands all time lows. It's truly a frustrating story of the band's repeated bad luck juxtaposed with a close-up look at their influential musical approach. As Charles Cross (author/writer) states in the movie, this is a story of, "What could have been as opposed to what was."

Commented TAD bassist Kurt Danielson: "TAD took the idea of playing live very seriously; it was a life or death matter. This DVD not only stands as testimony to that claim, but it's also a cinematic document of the world's HEAVIEST band EVER (as Bruce Pavitt so incisively puts it) bodily stretching that assertion beyond any previously known limitations. Better than a tattoo, it's an open scar that roars, a broken alarm bell ringing from the lost event horizon of a long-dead star, one we could never see — that is, until this DVD clipped it back onto the light box of the silver screen, where it can be deciphered and viewed anew. This documentary telescopes the musical pathology of TAD down into the image of an electrocardiograph recording the minor-mode melody of a final infarct, a demented soundtrack that is neither tame nor de-clawed. It was never meant to be. Dare to feel it, and, like me, risk bleeding internally."

Excellent, Tad are great.

Awesome. That's a must have. I saw Tad on tour with debut era Clutch. Possibly the heaviest concert I've ever heard.

TAD is one of my favorite grunge bands....period!!!

TAD is awesome!!! Saw them live at Club Soda in Kalamazoo. They were on tour with Helio's Creed and Thought Industry. What a freaking show! Man, reading about Tad sure brings back memories. Man, I am old!!!

ROCK!

I wonder why they never made it big like the other bands? They had a semi-decent showing with Inhaler, I guess, but that was it. Too bad. I wonder if they just couldn't sell a disgusting fat man to the masses?

It seemed to work for Wilson Phillips.

One was the sister and the other was a cousin, right? I don't know which was which, but they were both pretty hot, weren't they?

Yeah, the blonde wasn't the sister. She was cute, but I hated her short hairdo. And if you could believe this photo, she was the ugliest:



I dig the one on the left. That one in the middle ain't foolin' me!

I like pretty girls.

Are we in odd moods today? I think we're off topic in every thread. Haha.
