09/24 YEAR ZERO + surprise guests!!!

You really aren’t going to want to miss this show. We’ve got ___ coming to play a surprise show. If you don’t give a shit who this “secret band” is you SHOULD “give a shit” about YEAR ZERO.

Catchy punk rock putting together 3 decades of punk rock into one easily digestible mass for your ears. They’ve got a tape out on BRUISED TONGUE that absolutely destroys and if you don’t even care about music, they have the coolest t-shirts that you can get from them and look awesome walking down the street in.

10/01 RRPP presents Human Eye & Terrible Twos

Get ready to have your face blown off and your body ripped in half because we’re getting paid a visit by TIMMY VULGAR who you may know from his old band the CLONE DEFECTS. HUMAN EYE play insane punk that sounds like nothing else going on these days. They pretty much epitomize the “weird punk” tag that’s been flying around lately.

They are going to be accompanied with another band from Detroit called TERRIBLE TWOS who play much more straightforward punk compared to Human Eye but don’t let that fool. These guys are definitely putting out some pretty cool sounds and definitely keep things interesting and don’t sound like your run-of-mill “garage” punk band. Wild punk with some crazy synth lines that are designed to make you lose your mind.

THIS IS GOING TO BE A WILD NIGHT.

Here’s what an actual “writer” has to say about HUMAN EYE:

“With the triumphant release of their second full-length album on Hook or Crook Records this month, Detroit’s Human Eye have re-emerged as one of the world’s last real examples of avant garde punk music, and retain their status as the yardstick by which all real rock’n'roll weirdness should be measured. As far back as 2004, these oblique creatures of the darkest, most unlit spaces in the universe have carved out their very own caveman-cum-alien formula of sickening science fiction sounds. Withstanding lineup changes and label rearrangements, they’ve succeeded in baring the frayed edges of their own sanity and creating something truly awe-inspiring with each successive release. Although it was evident at the closing of the Clone Defects’ tenure of domination, lead lunatic Timmy Vulgar had too much erratic energy and mongoloid moxie to stay dormant for long, and after a mind-blowing debut LP on In The Red, and the subsequent 7″s on Ypsilanti, Cass, and Disordered devolved the band into a glob of artistically explosive guts and entrails, their efforts at finding a new home for their controlled insanity have now come to fruition, and we can all breathe easier. With Sir Vulgar’s deeply demonic bellow in full swing, Human Eye’s cavalcade of boundary-defying sound construction lifts off and streaks across the sky with serrated rhythms not right for this world. And along with the doom-laden disasterously disemboweling synthesizer squeal, it works together carefully to crack your closed mind back open, just as it should. As one of the most theatric bands on stage in America, Human Eye rival the Alice Cooper stage show without much competition, and even with dead mollusks, fish guts, and squid ink aside, they are as inimitable as ever in their current state, and remain untouchable within the confines of a typical rock show spectacle. But just as you could say that the theatrics are aimed at distracting you from their own guttural punk dimension, the other-worldly songs forged out of broken light bulb pieces and the slime from expired lunchmeat does wonders to the unaffected brain and causes tiny lesions that absorb all the filth and dementia uttered from Vulgar’s tortured trachea and reinforce the fact that Human Eye are undoubtedly one of the cornerstones of unique modern music. Blazing their own path has never been the easiest route, and their method may never transpire the outer regions of the wrong wave, but they have never needed any ulterior motivation to do their biding and it’s without any restraint that we wholly recommend their worldly droppings, in every state of recorded medium. Pick up your copy of Fragments of the Universe Nurse on LP or CD direct from Hook or Crook and revel in the off-centered true oddity that is one of the Midwest’s most precious resources, the living nightmare that is Human Eye.”

big news!

ROCK N’ ROLL PIZZA PARTY debuts at it’s new location this THURSDAY MARCH 12TH! we’re bring RRPP back to CENTRETOWN at it’s new home, the ROYAL OAK on BANK between GILMOUR and MACLAREN. you know the one. we’re really excited about it and you should be too!

 

update!!!

don’t forget about the show mentioned below and the fact that ROCK N’ ROLL PIZZA PARTY will be at BABYLON that night immediately following the show.

we will be hosting a listening party for the new BLACK LIPS record and we’ll be giving away copies of the record and some other shit so make sure to stick around for that!

also, RRPP will NO LONGER be at the BYTOWN TAVERN. don’t go there ever again on a thursday night expecting ROCK N’ ROLL PIZZA PARTY. we will let you know about the new location and exciting stuff going down on the first night very soon.

STAY TUNED!

 

big news…

so RRPP is still happening at the BYTOWN TAVERN for now. it’s kind of weird now since it’s basically YUK YUK’S now and some joker gets off stage and we immediately have to move as much of their crap out of the way so that we can get down RRPP-STYLE.

thanks to everyone who has been braving the cold to come out and party with us….

we’ve got a really special edition of RRPP going down on february 26th.

OTTAWA will be ravaged by unruly savages. they run in packs and will swarm upon this fair city leaving it in rubble. these particular creatures are none other than the hot punk rock sensation NOBUNNY from OAKLAND who will be backed by CHICAGO’s very own THE SMITH WESTERNS. NOBUNNY’s record LOVE VISIONS made the top of a lot top ten lists for 2008. you can stream the whole record HERE!

“Every once in a while a record comes my way that I just can’t stop listening to you know like an instant classic of sorts. Forget the bunny mask forget the wig forget the kinda corny gimmick . Behind all that lies some of the best lo-fi ramonesy punk slop I have heard in years. For sure the best record I own to jump around in your underwear and and eat pizza in bed to!” - JAY REATARD

also playing will be montreal DEMON’S CLAWS who haven’t been back since the basement show they played at A&A SPEED SHOP last spring. they will be releasing their LOST IN THE DESERT lp which is a collection of rare tracks and demos at this show so be sure to pick that up. that record is being put out by TELEPHONE EXPLOSION records which is run by two members of TEENANGER who are coincidentally playing this show as well.

there couldn’t be a better opening band for this show than THE BEACH BLANKETS. if you’ve missed the few shows they’ve already played you aren’t going to want to miss this one. killer 50’s rock & roll with punk attitude and a fun approach. they current and ex-members of MOTHER’S CHILDREN, HOLY COBRAS & THE FUNFUNS.

the show will be followed by a special edition of ROCK N’ ROLL PIZZA PARTY which will be visiting it’s old stomping grounds BABYLON NIGHTCLUB.

you aren’t going to want to miss this.

 

December 18th: LAST RRPP OF THE YEAR with THE NYMPHETS!

this is the last chance to come out to ROCK N’ ROLL PIZZA PARTY this year! it’s like kind of like a dress rehearsal for new year’s eve. except instead of a ball dropping from the sky and you wondering if you’re actually gonna have someone to kiss or if gonnna be another year starting off with nothing but loneliness and disappointment and sadness it’s the agonizing wait wondering if you’re gonna get a slice of pizza this time or if you’re gonna end off the year empty-handed or triumphant!

THE NYMPHETS are great. they are a 3 piece from montreal and play catchy punk rock tunes and have the “fastest drummer in the world” according to STANDARD ISSUE magazine. they often throw in a COCK SPARRER, SHAM 69 or BAD BRAINS cover in there too for good measure so they don’t come off too wimpy. check it out for yourself.

DJ’S B-RAD, LUKE NUKE & SKID VICIOUS will be spinning records all night comme d’habitude.
