the Pink Snowflakes know what time it is ! ( PSychic Delic )

I'M DYING ALL THE TIME..

Hey there!
This is to inform you that a real website is in the works and this here blog is to let you know about the latest doings and releases by the Pink Snowflakes of portland Oregon.


NEW VINYL and Digital RELEASE!! 

The band has been busy working on their mixes for the new release, "Exiled to the Planet" by Lick-able Sunshine Music due sometime this spring/summer. An album of psychedelic heavy pop and rock nuggets that has been inspired by moments listening to the experimentational Notorious Byrd bros album, late 70's prog rock, Pink Floyd, Heavy Hawkwind, Neu and  even Shoegase.  In the meantime, they have a 7 inch vinyl record with a great classic era B side song "You dont miss yer water" which has been covered by many artists including Brian Eno, Otis Redding and the Byrds that sounds like no other! The title of the record is called "You dont miss yer Planet" printed on 100% recycled plastics, soy based inks and paper. It is the single for the Pink Snowflakes latest track "She's the Planet"  This heavy hitting track is pure acid pop a delic rock as it is also a tad of an eco conciousness ballad. The Pink Snowflakes know what time it is these days. Its time to wake the fuck up and do something..anything. Don't eat so much fried chicken or Its a groovy day, get on your bike!.  Bring your own bags to the grocery store..re use things. Dont send so much garbage bullshit to the landfills..they are already overflown. Things are never what they seem to be. The planet is in survival mode and needs our help. The Pink Snowflakes have taken their heady ideas and music in that sorted direction of hippie era balladeers, acid casual poets, cosmic conciousness and searching for their own answers to the human species timeless puzzles through storys of isolation, death and re birth.


The artwork for "You dont miss yer Planet" was created by Micheal Woodis (psychonotart) with a few enhancements by Andrew Rossi of the Snowflakes. Here is a quick design mock up for the album cover by MJ before Andrew added a few things and MJ finished everything up. The planet is in peril of a hidden matrix or magic that needs to be broken. Long before, the patriarchy based everything on conquest and control. The planets energy is feminine by nature and its all out of balance and she's pissed. She's been pissed before. Theres hidden cycles or timelines in the sky. Psychonaughts come out to play. Everybody has sung this song one way or another before who cares..-a
You dont miss yer planet like you don't miss your water is an ode to realizing what you have before its all gone. She is a girl who's dying all the time.
A very psychedelic thing if your looking for it.
