The Great Plains continues to be plagued with small earthquakes, leaving scientists shaken and baffled. Perhaps no one had suggested a healthy dose of Red Earth Thunder Rawk - shaken, not stirred. Phantom Culture from The Costanzas - Norman, Oklahoma, USA Raw and raucous, the Costanzas repertoire roasts all innocent onlookers with non-stop intensity. Residing in Red Earth (Norman, Oklahoma), these musicians pack all the power of a thundering herd of buffalo. The band reveals, "Born out of love for old school punk, hardcore, thrash and metal: Misfits, Minor Threat, Dead Kennedys, The Exploited, Black Flag, Dead Boys, Sex Pistols, Ramones, New York Dolls, Corrosion of Conformity, early Metallica, Slayer, S.O.D. and Black Sabbath... "Songs about zombies, rollerderby girls, fighting, drinking, love and hate are what we do...

Strange pillows, unfamiliar beds, fast-food fare, it is an arduous journey to bring music to the minds of the many - quite unlike the situation of the starving artist who, at least, has the relative familiarity and paltry comfort of his or her dire daily circumstance in their own drafty garret or impoverished studio. This is real reality, raw stuff. Unrehearsed, unscripted, unedited, unexpected. Remember: Even if you were there, you weren't this there. Good advice: Turn the resolution on your monitors to the max. + + + It has been widely reported that certain experiences may lead to serious bouts of re-evaluation, sudden shifts to a more free-thinking mindset; causing an increased thirst for more of the same. Phantom Culture is prepared slake said as your insatiable cultural appetite runs rampant. Prepare the mind for stimulation to greater heights of comprehension found surrounding certain nuances of this existential conundrum. Magically, a sort of alchemical transformation transpires. To the alarm of many, one becomes more - sophisticated. Often, the condition is irreversible. Fair warning. Turn back now. Culture is one of those ubiquitous conditions: you can never have enough. Without, life is a dismal drudge barely worth living and not much more than an ant farm. Culture is indicative of how evolved, how sophisticated we've become as a species - the differentiator between ourselves and, say, slugs or toadstools. Gauging said differences can prove elevating. The "Mona Lisa" by Da Vinci is illustrative of culture. The expulsion of gas from one's backside is not, though that may evoke a titter from a few. Those that may confuse the two will probably find the offerings herein less to their liking. Too bad. As has been said, "don't let the door smack you in your gas-maker during your departure." Welcome to the Phantom Culture (Club) Channel. We never close, nor should minds. Note: What became one project has morphed into another. Well, that is sometimes the extraordinary nature of existence. Not only is this a piece of musical history, but it also serves as an example as to how a band or musician can achieve a pretty cool video on the cheap - with an inexpensive camcorder, coupled with free video editing tools YouTube provides (which is extraordinarily nice of them). Thanks, YouTube. You rock! If you want to find more Phantom Culture, do a search. We used to do links here, but this is the underground's underground. Seek and you will find... Johnny Depp and Jimmy Kimmel couldn't make it this night, but they are responsible for the making of this "portrait." They know full well what they did to invoke this manifestation. The filmmakers/painters are Foleo & Xerado. They are phantoms. There used to be links on how to find them included here, but they prefer being phantom artists. Do a search, you will find Xerado easily. Foleo is not a failed Palm device, so he is harder to track... A Phantom Culture Premiere animax realease (Wet Parka Contest No.0139). Note: real life is actually ad-free and so is this and it is done for free as well - as in no charge to the musicians and not monetized here.
