A GUN THAT SHOOTS KNIVES is an ever-evolving avant-garde music-band hailing indirectly from beautiful Seattle, WA. AGTSK's proprietary blend of danceably catchy rock and roll, poignantly nonsensical lyrics and antic-driven, costume-laden insanity has earned them comparisons to Ween, Beck, Frank Zappa, Parliament-Funkadelic, even The Muppets. Over the course of hundreds of live shows, including five regional and national tours spanning the height and breadth of North America, AGTSK has had opportunity to share the stage with an immense variety of performers (from Kimya Dawson to Ludicra, from Jeffery Lewis to Valient Thorr) in a comically diverse range of settings. As they produce more unpredictable and unpretentious music, their rabid fan base has been steadily growing, packing their irreverent and quirky live shows with costumed fervor and joy. Bringing professional execution and child-like exuberance to all aspects of performance, AGTSK is becoming legendary for their ability to make minds open, make asses shake, and make every beaming face in the crowd scream for more! A Gun That Shoots Knives is writing, recording, and performing their way to a creative crescendo, and they show no signs of stopping! January 2008 brought the release of LOVE, a 6-song EP hot on the tail of 2007's 19-song full-length Miracle, a culmination of their cumulative songwriting and self-recording efforts since the band's inception 3 short years ago. LOVE itself, however, was merely a preview of AGTSK's new recording sessions with Titan Studios' Scot Michael, whose engineering and production talents have given the band a futuristic sheen that both longtime fans and fresh new crowds are finding impossible to resist... Now, A Gun That Shoots Kives is proud to present: FUTURE OF LOVE! Released in October 2008, this shiny new fifteen-track, self-produced, self-released album finds AGTSK reaching a new personal milestone in songwriting and studio crafting. Overtly present are both a newfound clarity and fullness of sound, and a painstakingly precise attention to detail, as each member’s love and knowledge of producing adds the sonic flair that AGTSK has become known for. As a spectacular bonus prize, Future of Love's release brings to the stage The Future himself, an astoundingly talented multi-instrumentalist whose inventiveness and exuberance give AGTSK's live performances a fresh dose of explosive emotional energy. Welcome to the FUTURE OF LOVE!
