1992-1997
News Despite some name-related confusion (not "Respecticles", not "Retrotesticles"), our new CD "Retrospectacles" is out! A ninteen-song dose of listener-love done like only Sinkhole can. See the Ringing Ear Records page for details on how to get a copy of your own cheap. Alternately, you could sit there feverishly combing the Internet for all 19 mp3s, waiting, waiting for someone who actually managed to part with the eight bucks to encode and post them for you. I dare you. One of Sinkhole's many claims to fame is the fact that we have never once been mp3'd by a person not in the band. There's a simple reason for that, and it's not uncrackable encryption. We call it "uncryptable encraption", and it's an innovation we are not at liberty to share. This record represents our effort to say to the fan "Yeah, we sure did have a lot of giant hits, sure our tours consisted of 120 consecutive sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium, definitely we are interested in your sister's new phone number, absolutely we should have called before coming over with those hookers the day of your bat mitzvah, positively we're going to get the C/V joints fixed and get the Gremlin inspected, registered and back on the road so we can follow through on the very serious commitment we made to Mister Jimmy to get those papers delivered courteously and promptly by 7:30 AM six days a week." |
It's all friendly, no hard feelings (except over that incident where Chris
unintentionally sold Jon's sister into slavery.) We're just busy, geographically
dispersed, and anxious to form new bands and cash in on the whole
techno thing.
Thanks to anyone who paid attention to our antics over the
past 5 years. It meant a lot to us.
