CHILD BITE / THIS MOMENT IN BLACK HISTORY split 7"
CHILD BITE’s mutation from a three-piece jam-project to its current incarnation as a full-blown five-piece aural assault squad can be likened to the period in history where the dinosaurs were going extinct. See, just as those giant reptiles were forced to grow wings, fins, and other such attributes, CHILD BITE has morphed with each release. THIS MOMENT IN BLACK HISTORY is Cleveland's "superstar art project"-- featuring the song writing force behind LA's NEON KING KONG (GSL Records, percussion from THE BASSHOLES (Merge Records), and additional members from THE CHARGERS STREET GANT (Get Hip) and WHATEVER (Dr. Strange). Sounding as if the GANG OF FOUR violently hijacked JAMES BROWN, TMIBH doesn't need to tell you they're at the Rock and Roll club-you know they're already there! This split 7" is the first in a series of three from Child Bite to coincide with their summer 2009 tours. It features beautiful silk-screened covers and matching blue vinyl. Limited to 500 hand-numbered copies and includes a download coupon for high bit rate MP3s of both songs.
