Bubaiskull (1990 - 1993) was a rock band from Halifax, Nova Scotia.



Their main releases were:

INSEX
Drive By Suicide
Kitten

They also released various intentionally bad live recordings.


This is pretty much all they have left.

Bubaiskull Junk

You can get t-shirts and a hat HERE. The tiny amount of money this will generate will go towards paying for hosting this site. hahaha. As if. I’ll end up paying for this site out of my own pocket until some kind of techno-apocalypse ruins the Internet. What will you do then in your neo-primitive, agrarian based society?

Get one. You can wear it while you scrabble about trying to eke a living from the blasted earth. Or you could get it cause you’ll look cool and no one will know what the hell the t-shirt is proclaiming your approval of. You’ll be wearing a secret. Feel superior!

Cod Can’t Hear: Live Like a Pig

Cod Can't Hear Cover

We also had a track on this compilation, Cod Can’t Hear. It was recorded live at the Deuce on Canada Day, 1992. I did the cover illustration but not the design.

Look at Tim’s LONG SILKY hair. I had forgotten about that.

Many thanks to Michael Jackson for scanning the cover AND ripping the mp3 AND sending it to me.

Post About Hardship Post

This is a picture of Hardship Post (Seb Lippa, Mike Pick and Matt Clarke) and therefore has very little to do with Bubaiskull. Allison mentioned Matt’s heroic driving in this comment so I have an excuse to post this.

We played some away shows with these guys. They were always good. I heart the HACK e.p. especially.  

What is Mike DOING? :)

 

Sub Pop Surprise

Trim Crusts If Desired

To my surprise Eelmonkey was released on a Cinnamon Toast Compilation by Sub Pop. It’s the same recording as on INSEX so I won’t replicate it here.

UPDATE

Jonny Moyes points out that you can get the whole album HERE at a blog called WILFULLY OBSCURE.

New York City

New York City

This poster is for a gig we played in New York City during the CMJs. I do believe the Canadian Government paid us to go. They even gave us a $100 each. Look: Sloan! Eric’s Trip! Thrush Hermit! Hardship Post!

Clowning Around With MacGyver

Bubaiskull MacGyver Gig Poster Bubaiskull Jack in the Box Poster

Two more gig posters. One themed, one not. I think that jack in the box guy was pretty representative of the band. We liked to jump out at you.

Six Finger Satellite

Six Finger Satellite Gig Poster

From a live show in Montreal with the terrifying Six Finger Satellite. I recall J. Ryan stopped a guy from kicking my ass later that night. It was the gold lame trousers that riled the tiny Québécois bodybuilder methinks.

Oh ho ho! Who is this Friendly Character?

Jolly Pasquale by Adam Cavill

Well if it isn’t old Jolly Pasquale! He was the mascot of our pretend record label. Remember how he used to say, “Thatsa Pasquale!”? You don’t? I’m not surprised.

Badly Photocopied Band

I think this was part of us trying to get money from Factor. Which Didn’t happen. So FU Factor and your sh*tty grants.

Live Review from Eye

Bubaiskull Live Review from EYE

The EYE was or still maybe is a music mag from Toronto? The girl they sent seemed to like the show. So flattering, like water to us thirsty attention seeking missiles.
