This year marks 30 years of friendship for Nick & Matt, becoming friends smoking in the highschool bathroom in 1993. They've both accomplished great things musically together and as individuals.

The band photo is of a Philbert gig on Halloween night in 1995. Second photo is semi recent of them at Grand Central Market in Los Angeles.

Their 30 year history of projects together and apart, many more years to come writing beautiful and sometimes obnoxious sounds...

We're deeply saddened of the passing of our dear and great friend of 26 years, Gabe Serbian. One of, if not the best human/drummer/musicians we've had the honor of knowing! Gabe is responsible for the amazing drumming in The Locust & Headwound City as well as the founding member of Cattle Decapitation. We've had the privilege of going on multiple tours with The Locust and Holy Molar and Gabe was always an extreme joy to be around and if you knew him, you knew how kind hearted and hilarious his sense of humor was, a truly amazing human being. We're at a complete loss of words...RIP snarf!

May 1st is Gabe's birthday, he turns 45 today.

has set up a GoFundMe page to help his wife and family with memorial/funeral cost. Here's the link and please donate anything you can...

The inception of Ruhaeda and this lineup was a brief flash, a few jam sessions and this show at Radio Free Records in 1999 with The Anasazi. Now 22 years later, Ruhaeda as you know them(Jay, Nick, Duwayne & Matt) are still writing music together and will be recording and releasing new material in 2022.

THIS IS YOUR HOME, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS IS CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE, 4/20/04

Released 17 years ago today as a collaboration with Strictly Amateur Films(SAF Records), This is Circumstantial Evidence is a powerhouse documentation of the Three One G universe. With artwork and animation by Sam McPheeters of Born Against and Men’s Recovery Project, the DVD collected live and studio tracks by Moving Units, Jenny Piccolo, Get Hustle, Cattle Decapitation, Swing Kids, Love Life, Orthrelm, The Locust, and The Blood Brothers in a showcase of all-things Three One G.

DVDs have long since fallen from fashion and use, and this particular one is out of print, but you can find these videos at the Three One G YouTube channel. Documenting art and culture as it happens is one of the ways we keep from devolving into drooling, shiftless, un-self-aware, do*****ag amoeba blobs with no sense of history, style, or connection. It’s important to remember what’s been done and it’s important to save it for posterity. Once we give up on that we’ve lost something true, vital, and important to the human experience.

To witness the Blood Brothers at the height of their twitchy, convulsive powers, to watch Get Hustle freak the f**k out on stage like some pe**te dream, to see Orthrelm splinter musical notes into glass shards is a reassuring thing. It’s a thing that says, “This is your home. This is a place for you. F**k all those di****ad as****es who tell you you’re too weird or not good enough. There’s a spot for you here.” Checking back in with this film so many years later, I’m reminded that this is a world that welcomes me in, that understands my particular kind of strange. Us here—me, maybe you reading this, the bands in the film—we are a different animal and to be a different animal can be alienating. To thrive as a different animal you must seek your kind.

I lost my own copy of the DVD years ago and I feel lesser for it. Watching these videos on the label’s YouTube channel is good for the soul and I very much suggest doing that in a timely fashion. So much of life and culture is unoriginal and insubstantial. This is neither.
