I’ve never been particularly emotional about the death of loved artists; people die, and 9 times out of 10, most of the artists I’ve cared about have been way past their prime by the time they died, so while it’s sad someone died, it’s not like sad because you were…
We would like to bestow an honor on Texans Quarterback Matt Schaub. Yes, there are a lot of talented players on the team but only Schaub has come through to fill a niche for how to tell people they’ve fucked-up a guitar solo in the worst way possible.

So yes, we’ve finally finished up the recording work on our upcoming release “C is for Cthulhu”, quite possibly the heaviest thing we’ve done in a long while. Of course, no ice cream sundae of RAWK is complete without the metaphorical cherry on top, so at last night’s practice, we…

Hi everyone, We have a couple small updates for you. First off, let’s get to The Lee Jackson ALS benefit in Austin. We gave a tentative date of April 14th but it has now been moved to some undetermined date in May. The reason for the move is simple; the two week window was…
Attention citizens of Earth! Lo, for while it may have been five full cycles around the sun since our last proper studio release (2007’s All Things Are Light) we of The Linus Pauling Quartet return this summer with a new album, a greatest hits anthology, a slew of shows, and…
