Oh Balls, have you ever wondered what it was like to hang out with Robert and Ryan? This is exactly what it is like. From the inner jokes to the constant feeling like they are picking on you, Muscle Boys is obscure and self referential while never being exclusive. And now you can get both EPs on one fancy disc at the low low price of just $10. But don’t take my word for it. Just read the proper description and then visit https://www.createspace.com/2000992

Muscle Boys is a snotty, tongue-in-cheek gabber punk band that records short albums that play like the most alcohol fueled garage revival acts of the late 80s and early 90s.

Parodying the seriousness of most gabber and digital hardcore without resorting to mere novelty, Muscle Boys are the perfect party band for the musically jaded.

The original EP hits hard and doesn’t let up with only a small sampling of what was coming around the bend. The second EP was were the true voice of Muscle Boys was found. The punk and gabber elements were patch-worked together with just the right amount of pop sensibilities to appeal to noise freaks, angsty tweens, punk rawkers, and ravers.

These two EPs together are a 29 minute party you’ll be glad to keep coming back too. 

ND-012- High School Clicks - Student Body

Yet another 2011 live improvised set from High School Clicks recorded directly from the mixer. This shorter set started with the idea to create some minimal house for the kids to zone out and enjoy. As the boys become more and more comfortable with their solely hardware based set, you can tell that their voice is becoming more and more distinct.

The majority of this 30+ minute mix is centered around the minimal feel, but by the end the real wankery starts. Some might say it is a skewed take on world beat IDM, others might just call it fucktard bullshit, but the ending is at least worth one listen to form an opinion for yourself.

As more and more of these sets are being recorded, you can only imagine that they will continue to get better and tighter until you won’t be able to tell that they are off the cuff experiments or created without the aid of any software programs.

ND-011- High School Clicks - Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines

2011 Live improvised performance recorded directly from the mixer (of the best sound). High School Clicks, the combo of Robad Pills and Louie Applesauce are caught playing live at a House Party in the sweltering heat of Jacksonville Beach in this recent recording.

The boys, armed with their favorite equipment came with only a BPM in mind and set to work to create the perfect atmosphere to keep the feet moving and the party grooving. In my continuing pursuit to attempting to show that not all improvised music has to sound like a muddy mess, allow me to present to you “Gentlemen, Dim Your Machines” by High School Clicks.

ND008 - Louie Applesauce Presents “Dick Rave & the Candy Beads”

2009 DJ Mix from Louie Applesauce, half of Hot Mess/High School Clicks/Muscle Boys. This particular mix is pretty sloppy compared to some of the other ones that would come out in the months that shortly followed, but either due to the name or some hidden charm to the proceedings, this was a frequently highly downloaded mix from the old Neon Doom Website.

So here it is again, in all of its glory. It originally had a short run of 10 CDRs with handmade mixed media covers, those have long since been given away. So now all that is left is to click the link and stream this collection of cuts.

You can download the track (one long track) by left clicking the link at the bottom and saving as. Otherwise you can just click the link and (most) browsers will allow you to just stream as it loads into your temp folder.
