Funky, spacey, off the wall like a bunch of stoned ho's aboard a UFO with droning guitars,a deep bass groove and solid drums,all heading to jam at last call in a bar somewhere in outer space.

Details:
Hello hello everybody,this is Billy Tsounis ,guitarist /vocalist/songwriter for the Vasoline Tuner band. This here cd ,Beyond Repair ,is the debut cd by Vasoline Tuner recorded analog style under a hallucinogenic party atmoshere with a bunch of differently tuned guitars and a band that had never played together prior to this recording.
I had initially met RJ Vasquez, producer and owner of TON records when I first moved to Hollywood. We lived in the same building .I moved into an apartment which was and maybe still is inhabited by a happy little stoned ghost that I began to channel and consequently write the initial batch of Vasoline Tuner songs onto a 4 track machine.RJ heard the songs and said lets do a record. Gave a tape to my friend Chris Roy who played bass on the cd ,Pat Vasquez on drums ,met in the studio and went for it without having played together before.We interpreted the songs to each persons guess in 1 or 2 takes with an engineer that was tripping on acid salivating onto the board and requesting the song Louie Louie.
So here is a brief explanation of the songs and their atmosphere.
"Pharmacy", a song about the necessity of aspirin and the consequences of the lack thereof ,like becoming a god,prison sex, and neighbourhood molester status.
"Mr Ugly" is about having a lot or a little money,living in a video game palace filled with midgets ho's and gadgets.
"Waiting for granny to die"- it's just about that. Inheritance,recipes and trolling the attic to sniff old dirty drawers to get transported back in time via sniff.
"Summer Vacation" was done with a drum machine and deals with one specific summer of mine with a broken arm and pregnannt transvestites riding a broomstick to go and consult a psychic.
"Ketchup for dominoes "is all about getting disturbed whilst chilling and having to burn down the house to keep warm because I could not find my sweater.
"Zipperman"-A man with zippers all over his body that he can unzip , reach into and enter multiple dimensions whilst playing with his plastic duckies vs. king kong in the bathtub, bummed out about his broken alarm clock.
"Whats so special about your pussy"- A song about the uneccesary suffering due to a whipping of sorts.
"Half a leg and a lottery ticket"-The world seen through the eyes of a perverted canary staring at you while you undress in a discount store trying on cheap wedding dresses and wondering why nobody wants to pick your nose.
"Aeroplane"-Hippies munching chocolate bars and the cheque being in the mail.
"Hole in the head "-getting kidnapped,taken to outer space and held hostage. a failed attempt at escape will result in a hole in your head where only four wheeled vehicles may go through . No bicycles.
"Homo in a wheelchair"-About the journey of a spirit through the astral plane ,into sperm and it's subsequent trip through a penis in an attempt to manifest into a body of choice.
If not it will be seen as a challenged homosapien in a sandwich bun in need of ketchup and mustard.
