Seattle's favorite electroshit engineers, Pill Brigade are joining Snatch Patty and Prehumanity onstage at the Hi-Fidelity Lounge in Bremerton, WA (click for map/info). This show is 21-and-over, and only costs five bucks at the door. Bring birth control, cause these sort of gigs usually end up messy!
... just a quick update to let folks know that 1HRx Entertainment is now being run by this man:
Yup. Good ol' Statutory Ray has been given C.E.O. status of this here bidness and, well, stick around to see if he brings it out of the slums or just uses his new run of business cards to get laid.
One-Hour Pharmacy (1HRx) Records artists are finally getting off their video game chairs to begin the laborious task of social network fan-whoring. Where do you come in? Well, if you're looking at our website, you're probably a fan of one or many of the fine 1HRx Records artists that keep stereos fresh and DJs employed. When you're not stalking your ex to see who they're currently swapping naughty spots with, you may as well add (or, as George Orwell would say, 'like') your fellow 'Pharmacists. After all, bragging rights are worth more than the U.S. dollar these days, and you'll be helping our artists get laid (in addition to keeping an ear to the ground for special Facebook-fan-only offers and discounts!)...
Seattle-area industrial/electroshit legends Pill Brigade are returning to the stage after a brief holiday hiatus (Prof. Zlex's Disneyland adventures will be documented on this site later in the week, stay tuned...), this time joining N.W.-based industrial/electro/hardcore acts Gunmetal Grey, Grasp Logic, Coitus and Medic Medic. Check it out:
This all-ages show is only $8.00 if you purchase advance tickets (click here), and still only two bucks more if you decide to procrastinate and show up on Thursday, January 12th to El Corazon, located in sexy Seattle, WA at 109 Eastlake Avenue East (click for map), near a freeway off ramp, several shady all-night diners and a dimly-lit alley in which you can ingest pre-show substances without being bothered by the 'po. Make sure to invite all your Facebook friends (click here), and don't be afraid to show up in a cowboy hat a Hammer Pants. You will be dancing.
If you haven't seen Pill Brigade live yet, you're missing out on some serious chicka-chicka beep beep:
Another One-Hour Pharmacy (1HRx) Records first, industrial rockers Pill Brigade have remixed a bunch of Public Drunken Sex (PDS) tracks from their Straight Fucked Up album, making them (as Zion would say) reaaaal fucked up! You might not associate hip-hop music with industrial electroshit, but after giving this EP a listen, you'll be surprised that no one thought of it first. Check it out:
Over six decades in the making, Pill Brigade's debut album, 'Regurgitate,' has finally been digitally remastered from it's original 78RPM pressing, giving much-needed clarity and dynamic sound to an otherwise terrible album, turning it into the best thing to ever hit your stereo. Aren't sure if you're ready to shell out cold, hard-earned cash from your parent's trust fund? All goodie, cause this is a pay-what-you-can release, meaning you can download it first, listen, then come back to donate if you enjoy. Or you can not be a chode and just cough up a few bucks first. Here it is, the Regurgiate 1HRx Remaster! Check-check it out, 'yall:
... ever wondered how awesome it would be if Public Drunken Sex (PDS) performed their hit singles over nasty beats provided by Pill Brigade? Well, look no farther than the Ash St. Saloon in Portland, OR next Saturday, December 3rd:
... more, much needed info on this show is coming later on, but for now, mark your calendars and be sure to be at Ash St. Saloon next Saturday! Between now and then, make sure to RSVP the Facebook event page and invite all your friends!

The Good, The Bad and the Pill Brigade
Quick news update for anyone out there that still gives a fuck about shit n' stuff, your favorite out-dustrial rockers Pill Brigade were scheduled to perform a show with 16 Volt this Saturday at El Corazon in Seattle. The bad news? Some random promoter decided to buy out the venue (who we personally can't blame, hell, we're whores to the dollar too) and, thus, no industrial band is able to compete with the trust fund budget that follows touring indie bands.
There will be digitally remastered version of the Brigade's first (and only) official LP release, 'Regurgitate', available here at 1HRx Entertainment for less than the price of a pack of smokes on Wednesday, November 16th at roughly 9:00PM PST. This album is currently sold out at the 1HRx Record Store, so you know it's gotta be good!
One-Hour Pharmacy (1HRx) Entertainment has been known for doing charity events in the past, but never anything as over-the-top as a full-on Halloween Haunt, not to mention Oregon's biggest! Label buddy Johnny Krash has invited DJ HazMatt as well as DJ Castor Pollux and Pill Brigade to join the Fear Asylum Haunt going down at 13121 SE McLoughlin Blvd(click for map) in Milwaukie/Oak Grove, OR just a mile south of Portland proper. Check it out:
The DJs and bands are playing in the Annex Building right next to the ticket booth for the haunt on specified nights (every Monday and Saturday between now and Halloween, with the exception of the Zombie Ball w/ DJ HazMatt on 10/29, which occurs in the ballroom). If you want to get on-the-DL complementary admission, simply head into the Annex when any 1HRx act is playing, purchase an adult beverage (21 and over only, of course) and your resident 'Pharmacist will stamp your hand for admission to the haunt! How cool is that?!?
See you there, and make sure to RSVP on Facebook so your friends show up as well.
Update:
The Annex Bar (where DJHazMatt will be spinning on Monday nights (including Halloween with Pill Brigade) is now an all-ages bar with free admission! Before (or after) you head through the haunt, come swing by the Annex Bar and grab a cold beverage while your kids dance to 1HRx Records DJs!!

PB & DP Take Over PDX, Save the World
If you are reading this on Saturday, April 21st, then you are in for one hell of a treat! We got not one, but two 1HRx Records artists performing socially-conscious gigs this afternoon/evening, all for good causes (specifically, Japan and marijuana).
First up, we got Pill Brigade headlining a benefit show at The Red Room (click for map). This event will feature a handful of hardcore/punk acts, and all proceeds go directly to Mercy Corp to benefit the survivors of the recent earthquake/tsunami damage:
... that all starts around 7pm. Now, if you're in the area of NE 82nd before the show (and not "working" so to speak...), rumor has it that 1HRx Records latest sign-ees Delaney & Paris will be performing a down-low show at the one-and-only world famous Cannibus Cafe (click for info). We have no idea when exactly this goes down, but something tells us it's gonna happen between 4:19 and 4:21pm. No cover charge for the performance, but you can expect the cafe' to ask for membership fees (as well as an OMMP identification card), so get to the doctor (or Kinko's)!
Well, more info coming soon, along with some huge news (hint: giant festival, 1HRx invading, camping, outdoors, thousands of people...), but for now, get baked, get drunk, save the world and rock out 1HRx style! Make sure to keep your eyes peeled to the 1HRx Live Calendar so you don't miss any upcoming events!!
