Shotgun Pinata

Journal Entry: Tue Aug 7, 2012, 7:52 PM


PLEASE DO NOT TAG ME, OR SEND ME CHAIN MESSAGES. I WILL IGNORE IT!
  
THE NAME OF MY BAND IS  Shötgun Piñata NOT Shotgun Pinata, up until a little bit ago I was able to use the proper symbols to spell this correctly..
  

2-20-13 Alright... my Twitter site is now off suspension...help a brother out and follow SP. [link]

2-14-13 Something to mention...which first went public in the EMM interview. Shötgun Piñata now has a second official member, Dominic H. Francisco. He and I have worked together in the past. He also discovered and signed me to his label. We are currently working on new music for an EP and also a concept LP.

2-10-13 I've had a Twitter...mostly for SP purposes for awhile...but I kinda forgot.... if you have one...and you're into it...add me if you want. [link] The more people out there hollering at me, the less likely I will be to forget about it...mostly lately I just use it to talk to porn starlets lol...no seriously...

2-9-13  EMM's special mini issue came out today with it's interview with me talking about Shötgun Piñata. Read it here online! [link] Check it out...check em out. Read the other issues...follow them...like it on FB. Subscribe!



1-26-13 An old friend of mine is starting a Let's Play video  channel... Shötgun Piñata provided the theme...due to internet issues his first ep was postponed from today until Tuesday. Be sure and check him out then! [link]

12-20-12 This will be the last chance to get the SP catalogue for free, once it hits the online shops the bandcamp stuff will be set at the minimum default prices to coincide. Grab it now while it is free! [link]

12-19-12 The electronic indie label Fantastic Planet Industries has signed a deal for global digital distribution with KVZ.  All of the bands on the label including SP...will be getting press world-wide through them! What this essentially means is that SP and the rest of the FPI catalog will be available on around 150 online stores. Not to mention over 8k  internet and FM radio stations. Plus they do a lot more stuff with podcasts, adverts, and other sorts of promotions. In short... international exposure! In about a week's time the FPI catalog will be turning up on these sites. Check the KVZ partners page for details of the shops [link].

update: Also coming soon: some time around New Years... the second FPI mixtape featuring of course... Shötgun Piñata!

11-7-12 A sampler from the latest SP album w/ a video accompaniment

Video footage from the film: Dementia/Daughter Of Horror. (1956) Dementia is a black and white film from 1955. It is a silent film and there is not a single line of dialogue in the entire film, nor are there any storyboards to tell the viewer what is going on. The film was later re-released under the title Daughter of Horror and had the dubious benefit of an added narration. from the public domain. [link]

Music from: [link]  Shötgun Piñata's album Directors Cut: The BIG Picture! Written, Produced, Arranged, & Performed by Shötgun Piñata.
Recorded @ The Hot Spot for Fantastic Planet Industries. A Mutant Mechanical Frequencies prod. Shötgun Piñata is D Mojo Brown. All sounds by Shötgun Piñata except where noted:

The following tracks contain samples from the Raphael Corderos album "Trumpet Riffs" (Ninja Tunes):

A Complete Lack of Moral Fibre "Feelin' Horny"
Beats for Sally M "Private Parps"
We Can't Relax... Just Yet "Rock Creek Parp"
Looking for the Exit... "Sittin in the Parp"
Things are Now Out of Hand! "Parping Fine"

We Better Get Out of Here! & Things are Now Out of Hand! feature the guitar stylings of Pete Buck from Tolerance for Two!

NOTE the music on this video belongs to me, the video footage itself is from the Public Domain and has been credited properly, thus it is free to use.

10-7-12 [link]! (this link might not register properly due to the punctuation at the end :roll:) a collection of previously released materials... both my favorite versions of these songs as well as in my favorite order of listening... here for free streaming and downloading... a more public release will follow later in the year on Bandcamp. Also added this collab [link]! (this link will probably not work either due to the punctuation at the end...:rage: if you add the ! to the url of either...it will take you to the link, yeah I know...extra work...but I did not code this site.)

10-2-12 [link] The New Album is OUT! ... and also a second new single. [link] hit the links for your free copies... also on the SP last.fm account! Enjoy!!

9-28-12 [link] <--- Go Here for the NEW Shötgun Piñata single... a collab with Tolerance for Two. This is the definitive version here, folks...

9-12-12 Been spending a lot of my downtime really listening to the next album, and I happy to say I am pretty proud of it. Some time after the two singles and the album come out... Early next year I'm going to put a compilation out of my favorite tracks from the latter area of the band's career... so from Sum of It's parts and forward. I've already got he tracks selected and the track order prepared. I'm pretty happy with it...it flows well, and utilizes my favorite mixes of these tracks... After that I'll probably get myself back into my studio to work on new tracks. Still currently without my PC, but I hope to have that sorted before the winter break....fingers crossed, eh?

9-8-12 Added art for the first of two forthcoming singles.... [link] This one is for the joint with Tolerance for Two...dropping somewhere around Halloween. The cover for the second... is here [link] ...and is due out sometime near Thanksgiving. Still currently without a PC, but luckily all my finished tracks were saved on an external...as well as the art for the singles. This might halt the album itself...which I had planned to put out come the winter break, no later than New Years... time will tell.

9-3-12  Work on the album has to be put on hold... My computer died last night, and since it is not where I work on my music, it's also where I store all my session stuff. Nothing wrong with the hard drive holding this data... but I'm currently using a borrowed laptop... Naturally I can't easily access the data on said hard drive. Hence until I have a working desktop machine, working on music will be near impossible for me.

9-2-12 Worked on some background vocals for a few tracks, and dropped in a bit of the guitar work that Pete from Tolerance for Two did, in our collaborative session in one. Worked on tentative covers for both of the singles that will be released prior to the album. The art for the second of these can be found here. [link]

8-29-12 Finished up work on an experiment in sound... I can't exactly call it a song, because it isn't exactly music... not sure where this will turn up... nearly 5 minutes of beautifully frightening noise. Long weekend coming up... I should get some more work done on the next album at some point. My friend Mike did some art for me...and I'm going to use it for part of the cover... Keep ya posted on the new songs, as the weekend work on them progresses.

8-28-12 Finished the megatrack for the Shötgun Piñata vs Tolerance for Two project today... just under 6 minutes... to be released as a single sometime prior to the new album. Also in the works a special remix of one of the tracks from the forthcoming album... also as a single...sometime after the previously mentioned single...yet still before the next album. Work for the new album is coming along slowly but surely... things are good!

8-25-12 9 new tracks in the works...a new direction with the music this time around... my last single kind of set this feel to the music in motion. Essentially I am working on a mock Soundtrack... think some Obscure B film from the 80s... and you're headed in the right direction. I'll be working with these tracks through the Autumn, which will hopefully be ready to be released sometime over the Winter break... at the very latest..early next year....

8-22-12 (later) Because Shötgun Piñata is not exactly a touring band...I can either take a break or start working on new music... I guess I'll be doing a bit of both. Once the summer break is over this week, my time for making music will diminish into half, and staying up into the small hours nightly will be over... I started the groundwork for 4 brand new songs...which I'll be working on for the rest of the year...time permitting I should be releasing something new during winter break. I will likely tack the 3 albumless singles on this release as well... they're all similar in form, and I feel they belong together. Possibility, that there could be more new tracks... it's just too early to say. Keep it dialed in...

8-22-12 The Mashup between Dominic H Francisco and Shötgun Piñata is out! Get your free copy here! [link]

8-21-12 I added the new collab with Tolerance for Two, "Tolerance for Two Meets Shötgun Piñata" to the KAR120C (Where are You?)/Beats for Sally M (Dem Horny Blues mix) Single, which can be found here [link]
...that's right hidden bonus track! It can also be streamed or downloaded FREE here as a single track, [link]

8-20-12 (later still) My collab with Dominic H. Francisco [link] is also finished... so be looking for that in the next few days!

8-20-12 (Later) Worked on a Collab Project with Tolerance for Two [link] today and came up with a rad experimental track, "Tolerance for Two meets Shötgun Piñata!" Something a little different for both of us. I'm digging how it came together, and hopefully we're gonna try and work on some more stuff in the future! For a sneak listen at the track ...grab it here. [link]

8-20-12 [link] Brand New single... 2 brand new songs... get it while it is White Hot, baby! That's right... Shötgun Piñata's new single just dropped! Get your free digital copy now!!!

8-18-12 Finished the jacket design for the upcoming single today and uploaded it here! [link] ...I expect to be done with the single in the next week, to be released soon after. Also using the B side track in a collab with label Fantastic Planet founder Dominic H Francisco (of AstroLust, Sun City Beats & solo) Be looking for that mix sometime in the future...

8-16-12 I'm already hard at work to a follow up single... so expect 2 new tracks from Shötgun Piñata by the end of the month... they're both going along smoothly...so it might be sooner than later!

8-15-12 The Fantastic Planet Industries mix tape just dropped! Get the free download here! [link] featuring Shötgun Piñata and all the other dope bands on the label.

8-13-12 The Buzz is paying off! Shötgun Piñata is number 143 on the Reverbnation charts for the national Electronic music charts, and for the time being number one in my local area(although that is a bit misleading as I am the only Electronic musician from my area) Thanks to all of those spreading my name around, and sharing my links, much love for the love. Please keep it up! All the help is deeply appreciated. Just finished my followup EP... Yes I know I haven't released the album preceding it yet... but when the muse bites............. 6 Tracks this time round,  nothing too fancy... these are all mixes of tracks  from the album...with vocals added... subtle stuff but effective. In the next week or so the Fantastic Planet Industries mixtape should drop, and then I'll release "Sum of Its Parts..." ...then sometime after that, I'll be putting out the EP, which is gonna be called "Parts..."  I just finished the art work for the parts EP about an hour ago... keep it here for all things Shötgun Piñata! If you haven't done so already please go out and check out the tracks on Facebook, Reverbnation, and last.Fm. Also go on out and "like" the Shötgun Piñata Facebook page, "fan" me on Reverbnation! Much thanks again! :heart:

8-12-12 and speaking of music...Again! Sum of it's Parts Has Dropped! Head here [link] for your free download! 22 tracks in all, contains Bonus beats, an extra EP, e-insert art for both releases, and an e-booklet, all in one fast download!

While your at it...why not go here, and fan my band and music? [link]
Just got the confirmation from Fantastic Planet... the mix tape will drop within the next 2 days... I'll throw a head's up when that happens, so be sure to keep it here, and go on out and grab that shit too... the labels got some rad acts..so this is gonna be dope! :heart:

It is a tough road to hoe. It takes moments to admire a photo or painting, nearly istant gratification. Whereas writing requires a little more energy for the payoff. Sadly many of the average users aren't willing to give that, and most of us go unnoticed. They're missing out as much as we are.
