CRAWL: LIVE AT CLUB 1808

Acolyte's latest: One man doom/sludge/weird from San Antonio. Sounds like a millennia of tectonic forces crushing a diamond that's only going to be mined out of a conflict zone.


We also recorded this dude's set at Beerland the following night. It's in post and will be part of the THE HOUSE SHOW III (featuring Pussyviolence, Sex Bruises and Mugwump). It'll be the first episode featuring two camera operators thanks the wonderful assistance of Christopher Flakus and Jack Harris.
Also dropping in March (or sooner) is a Mugwump music video and an interview/perfomance based piece on Jonathan Cash of Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, Pussyviolence, Mucophagia, etc. ad infinitum. So please stay tuned. March is going to be huge. If you want to follow us on facebook do it here. If you want to get your swag on with ACOLYTE shit and support us do it here.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY: THE HOUSE SHOW DVD ANTHOLOGY HAS DROPPED



Shit I wish there was a emoticon for reggaeton horns right now because The House Show DVD anthology has dropped. Happy Valentine's Day. Check out our bigcartel shop here. The DVD comes in two flavors. We've got a high end super limited edition version and a "bootleg," version that features a cheaper (but still hand made and awesome) cover that we plan on churning out as long as there's a demand. Check it:
Ballin' version


less baller version

The DVD features performances from MGWMP, a collaborative set with Breakdancing Ronald Reagan, Body Inflation Sequence, and Glasgow Smile, Jackyls, Mucophagia, Cronophage, Fox Island, and Pussyviolence. It also features an audio commentary with the creators of the show and a trailer for ACOLYTE'S new show APOCALYPSE DOWN. Show your support for local musicians and film makers.

ACOLYTE PRODUCTIONS PRESENTS: JKYLS + MGWMP ALIVE @ THE JACKALOPE


The infamous Mugwump will be performing with the ear splitting Jackyls at The Jackalope on Thursday the 23rd of February in Austin. Watch rockabilly kids get their minds blown. This one will be a real treat.

THE HOUSE SHOW: DVD Anthology


We're fucking working on it. The DVD will have a commentary track by some of the people involved in bringing The House Show to the consensual mass hallucination of the internet and a preview of a super secret project ACOLYTE has been developing for some time. It'll be cool. That there up there is what the artwork will look like before being xeroxed into oblivion.

FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY



Acolyte booked it's first show at the lovely Club 1808. The roster:


Jackyls: lords of tinnitus, prophets of leather jacket jihad.


Mugwump: they don't give a fuck.


Void Strider: sounds exactly like a band called Void Strider. Better than Black Sabbath.


Fox Island: a cute gay boy with pink hair pig squealing over drum machine grindcore. Heavily Manson influenced.


Well Dressed Thieves: the only band described on Myspace as “alternative/punk/rock” you should care about.


All the dudes (and the one gal) playing this Friday tear it up. Show up and drink some $2 high-lifes. Brag about going to the bad part of town. Get made fun of for thinking 12th and Chicon is actually scary.

THE HOUSE SHOW II: Mucophagia

It's a wrap. Mucophagia closes out Episode II of The House Show with noise and smoke. Big ups to everyone who came out and everyone who played.

We'll be recording more bands soon and putting out a new DVD sometime before that. Stay tuned.
