about

From Ho-Ag's final full-length release: "NO MORE MASTERPIECES (2002 - 2013)" (Release date: September 3, 2013)

The lyrics to this ominous song were sketched out one day when Matt was attending a seminar for a new file management system. “There's a woman who types in that wildcard asterisk operand, Set to Contain: s-u-s-p-i-c-i-o-u-s.” Also one of several songs that began life with the working title “Dr. Dre.” An outtake from the sessions for The Word from Pluto. Rec. November 2005 by Keith Souza and Seth Manchester at the old Machines with Magnets (Providence, R.I.). Derryberry (vocals/keyboards), Kim (guitar), Meyer (drums), Parish (vocals/guitar), Ward (bass)

FINAL SHOW/ALBUM RELEASE PARTY SEP. 7

lyrics

Click to expand, uproot the file tree
The data cascades like helicopter seeds
The global search is ordered again and again
The report is too long to print, the names are sorted to descend
There's a woman who typed in that wildcard asterisk operand
Set to Contain: "S-U-S-P-I-C-I-O-U-S"
And the man who sent the order down to her is gone
Could you hurry up please? It's time, could you hurry up please?
The placeholders are millions unaware in the unreal city
I got eyes on you and the trail of ones and o's you're leaving upin the air Your boys are floating around up there too, in fact
From here I got incriminating view

about

Ho-Ag Boston, Massachusetts

Ho-Ag is an experimental "noise rock" band based in Boston, Massachusetts. Known for melding fast-paced math-punk and metal with the creaky musical worlds of 50s and 60s sci-fi, Ho-Ag occupies a strange place in music that's both thoughtful and utterly crazed.
