Conversation Suicide is One of Tucson Arizona's most amazing and eclectic underground collectives. They have been headed up by PHLEGM on BASS/Lead VOCALS for over 4 years along with a hoary host of talented & creative musicians. Associating with this collective includes the benefit of being the house band at one of the BEST Tucson UNDERGROUND MUSIC Scenes available, at their practice space in the ARTFEST MUSIC HAUS. These Shows at PRINCEZZZ and PHLEGM's humble abode often draw more people than SOME of Tucson's sadly unattended clubs. ARTFEST provides a venue for Musicians who create & perform original music and are tired of NOT getting any reward for doing it. Some of Tucson's Finest Musicians have been in the band CONVERSATION SUICIDE and many of that Local Scene's FINEST Bands and associated musicians have played one of their EARLY shows, before local acclaim, at an ARTFEST show over the past 9 years. The foremost example is the SIGNED band Sanity in DEATH (HAMMERMILL label), who not only played at PHLEGM & Princezzz' wedding but have played the ARTFEST Haus at LEAST once a year since 2003. ALSO: RECESS RECORDS (Todd, of TOYS THAT KILL's LABEL) band SWING DING AMIGOS played an ARTFEST, before they were signed and many other SIGNED artists who were in unsigned bands previously, have done some time at an ARTFEST show in the early stages of their music careers. CONVERSATION SUICIDE just finished recording its 3rd CD, "EBT", and it's soon to be finalized, mixed & mastered--in the meantime, you can hear tunes off it right here or go to CONVERSATIONSUICIDE.COM for many more of their previously recorded songs all beautifully mixed & mastered by Bradley Torrison of DARKSIDE PRODUCTIONS. The first two STUDIO recorded CDs, "NOT A CHANCE IN HELL" and "Tucson Epidemic: Bands that shared the same Phlegm", have both been selling without the pretty packaging or BARCODE for $5.00 to $10.00, locally and abroad. You can order these sonically completed works NOW by mailing a $5 money order to the address listed under "record label" below OR wait for the soon to be mass-produced, with GRAPHICS/LYRIX, etc., COMPILATION ALBUM-- "EBT - THE BEST OF CONVERSATION SUICIDE so far..." coming in 2008. ARTFEST MUSIC plans to partner with the INDIE label Kings= DISKMAKERS. This will be a compilation of some of their best work 2000-2007.
