***When not watching Law & Order re-runs, DALE FLATTUM spends his time creating posters, art forgeries, and other screen printed propaganda under the alias: TOOTH. Before all of this, he pursued a career in music, touring the world for over 9 years with the noisy San Francisco rock bands STEEL POLE BATH TUB, TUMOR CIRCUS and MILK CULT. "When I was 16 years old, I tore a weird looking poster off of a telephone pole near my house. It was crudely assembled, cheaply reproduced, and probably the greatest thing I'd ever seen. Later when I started to play music, the poster for the show became almost as important as the show itself. It was proof that something had happened. It was subversive propaganda. It was fun. It was addicting. And what did you need to do it? Scissors? Glue? A Xerox machine? An 8.5 x 11 piece of paper turned out to be a very powerful thing. It was like finding a machine gun in your sock drawer.The possibilities were endless." 256 page book of black & white graphics, occasional ranting and a 72 minute CD featuring music from STEEL POLE BATH TUB, MILK CULT, THE NEIN, AGENT NOVA and the never before released second NOVEX album.
