CONDOMINIUM
LIVE ON RADIO K, OCTOBER 28, 2012
KUOM UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS
CONDOMINIUM FUCKING RULES. ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA EXPERIMENTAL NOISEY HARDCORE PUNK, FRUSTRATED AND ANTI-SOCIAL OVERTONES FUSED WITH SOME SENSE OF IRONY AND WARPED HUMOR, RAD FUTURIST, WEIRD/SCI-FI-ISH ARTWORK, AND A BARRAGE OF LOUD-AS-FUCK ANALOG SONICS. MAKE NO MISTAKE, THIS BAND IS INCREDIBLE. FOR WHATEVER REASON, IT SEEMS THAT THIS BAND HASN'T GOTTEN AS MUCH PRAISE AS THEY DESERVE, BUT PERHAPS SOME OF US LIVE UNDER A ROCK AND NEED TO GET OUT MORE.
CONDOMINIUM APPEARED LIVE ON UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, MINNEAPOLIS'S RADIO K AT LEAST TWICE, ONE APPEARANCE BECAME THE BAND'S CASSETTE RELEASE "LIVE ON RADIO K 6-1-2008," THE OTHER APPEARANCE IS BEING MADE AVAILABLE HERE. THIS IS NOT AN "OFFICIAL" CONDOMINIUM RELEASE, NOR IS IT AUTHORIZED, SO HOPEFULLY NONE OF THEM MIND, AND HOPEFULLY THEY LIKE THE QUICKLY THROWN TOGETHER ARTWORK THAT HAS BEEN PROVIDED.
THE A FEW OF THE SONG TITLES ARE A BIT AMBIGUOUS, BUT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY WERE EARLY PERFORMANCES OF MATERIAL WHICH MADE IT ONTO LATER RELEASES ("NEW MIDPARED" IS INDEED THE SONG "THUG" FROM THE EP OF THE SAME NAME).
THE RADIO K PAGE FOR THIS PERFORMANCE (WHERE THE PROVIDED AUDIO ORIGINATED) CAN BE FOUND HERE. CONDOMINIUM'S BLOG, HELLO TOMORROW, CAN BE FOUND HERE , ALONG WITH MEDIAFIRE LINKS TO MOST OF THEIR RELEASES. AND JUST FOR THE SAKE OF BEING HELPFUL, THEIR 2007 DEMO AND LIVE ON THE BLOC CASSETTES CAN BE FOUND OVER AT TERMINAL ESCAPE, (WHICH CANNOT BE PRAISED ENOUGH FOR THE QUALITY OF THE WIZARD'S CASSETTE RIPS).

1. NEW FAST
