yeah! the_network. no, not the new band by billy joe from green day. Out of the late 90's new hampshire bands of Ookla the mok* and the Fault** in the backwoods of New Hampshire's south, comes the newest super group, the_network. members of the fault (kevin, tim, and scott) got sick of being in that band (in the end they were just trying to make up crazy stuff to play)

and ookla the mok was over. when they wanted to make a new band up, they pulled in pete (ex-ookla the mok) in with them.

the last member being nate (ex-halo suffocation machine***/As I bleed).

add samples, brian, and there is the inception of the_network!

so fast forward to 2002 when everyone is talking about this band that no one has heard of an how their show randomly at the lawrence knigs of columbus.

I missed that show, but from what I gather, the ground openned up and an out-swelling of angels and demons covered the crowd in a euphoric spray of whiskey and morphine after having covered their bodies in gapping slash marks. Kids lost thier minds.

for the next almost year, the_network remained an enigmatic mystery, retreating back to the woods of new hampshire and not playing any shows.
finally, April 19, 2003, I got a chance to see them at the bombshelter,

mixing spazzy hardcore, noise, and berzerker-esque drum beats they terrorized the crowd.

watching them is to sit there, fearing for your life while being dumb-founded. like sitting and staring at a nuclear bomb going off.

needless to say, pete was crawling all over the pipes on the ceiling. During shows, I always try to keep one eye on him so that I don't get a errant mic-stand wrapped around my head.

3 days later, they made a debut on RTTP with a live set.

yeah, the back up vocals weren't loud enough miced up.. but whatever.

a few months after that, the sampler player left. this sort of left a void in their sound.

at first they were looking for a replacement, but decided to stop looking and just continue on.
they placed a few things into the mix, samples off a cd and then new padels!

honestly, you don't notice it on the new tracks.
their most recent tracks are leaning more towards sound like burn the priest.

currently, they keep recording tracks (exit 23) and are looking for a label to sign them and make them all rock stars.

if you have a label, sign them and save them from Dover, NH.

* ookla ended in 1998 adam (singer) went on to sing for cannae (prosthetic records). max (singer) went on to the insane shaniqua and the skull fuckers.
** the fault ended in 1998
*** HSM's last show was nov 3rd 2001
