In this issue, learn about our show Friday at Ace Of Clubs, and our totally achievable--and even more unhealthy--New Year's resolutions...
 Friday @ Ace Of Clubs: Resolve To Rock!
This Friday 1/14, join us at Ace Of Clubs (best sound in the city) for our first show of the new year. King Hell un-motivational coaches will be on hand to help you ruthlessly violate all your New Year's resolutions! To help with this, we're: A) playing with the shamelessly debauched Slam One Down (theme song "Beer Run"); and B) have invited down from Boston one of our seriously fave bands, Captain Cutthroat.

Captain Cutthroat
Note, the guitarist has a wizard's hat on, and they're projecting extras from the sexploitation flick Faster Pussycat! Kill Kill Kill! Boss. They've been compared to Mr. Bungle. They've been compared to Hall & Oates. They've been compared to Cannibal Corpse. All accurate. There's nothing like 'em in NY, and you don't wanna miss 'em. Here's the Facebook invite. Doors at 8, King Hell is on at 9:30 sharp!

HornsOur New Year's "Resolutions"

One thing we hate in King Hell is failure. So we've put together these resolutions we KNOW we can keep. Follow them and feel great about yourselves too--mentally, that is. Physically, you're going to feel like absolute hell...

 

Resolution: Put on weight.

Why: We probably won't become anorexic, but why risk it?

How we'll do it: Train ourselves to eat with our feet, so we can we can devour coffee rolls with all four limbs at once.

The goal


Resolution: Be meaner to people.

Why: Because, while enjoying listening to Slayer, we've had to take out our earphones too many times just so some doofus can ask us: "Cold enough for ya??"

How we'll do it: Ask them to hold our grenade. Pull the pin. Step off the elevator.

 

Resolution: Play worse live.

Why: We should be focused on our stage moves, since we're so god damn loud no one can even tell what song we're playing.

How we'll do it: Spend all of rehearsal drinking wine and doing black metal renditions of Miley Cyrus songs (currently only occupies 2/3 of our time).

 

Fat black metal Miley Cyrus
How we imagine Miley Cyrus.

 

Resolution: Never get out of bed.

Why: You can't leave the house without pants, Hitler wore pants, and who wants to be associated with Hitler?

How we'll do it: Wine + Ambien = You just woke up in 2052.

 

Resolution: Drink more.

Why: We like a challenge.

How we'll do it: Dazzle you with a magic trick, and while you're distracted use your liver.

And now we'll just levitate you over to this operating table...

 

Resolution:  Procrastinate more.

Why: Because Family Guy is on.

How we'll do it: Will ourselves to also sit through Americand Dad and The Cleveland Show.

 

Resolution: Read less.

Why: Wurds r harde.

How we'll do it: A couple drops of liquid acid in the old eyeballs should turn our dyslexia up to 11.

  

Twisted Sister says "Be crool to your scuel"
We failed everything--except chemistry
   

Resolution: Be less responsible.

Why: Job counselor said "Do what you're good at."

How we'll do it: Invent a time machine and visit our past to make sure we screw up at the 2 jobs we never got fired from.

 

Resolution: Be sexier.

Why: There's nowhere to go but up.

How we'll do it: Shower.

  

Resolution: Make love like a man.

Why: Def Leppard told us too.

How we'll do it: First, we'll cover ourselves in mud so the enemy can't detect us with infrared...

 

Arnold Schwarzenegger, covered in mud
In New York, you pay $500 in a salon for this

 

...then we'll throw some ninja smoke...

Actual ninjas

 

...and finally, when the enemy is completely blind to our presence, we'll come up behind them and snap their necks, Special Forces style!!

...Oh, wait, we were supposed to make love in there somewhere, right? You know what? F*ck Def Leppard.

Many thanks for reading, King-Hellions. See ya at Ace Of Clubs!

Metal regards,
The bastards in King Hell!
