Dwarves Limited-Edition Figure Released By Aggronautix, Animated PSA Created

Aggronautix is releasing a limited-edition figure of punk rock legends the Dwarves (1000 numbered). This unique double "Throbblehead" figure stands at 5 1/2 inches tall, is made of a lightweight polyresin, and will be displayed in a tri-windowed box. Here Blag the Ripper and HeWhoCanNotBeNamed are portrayed dominating the stage and are accurately sculpted right down to the lucha libre mask, bondage wear, and skull boner buckle.

The figure will be distributed by MVD Entertainment Group - a company specializing in music-related distribution since 1986 - and DKE Toys - a wholesale distributor of urban / vinyl / designer art / objects / toys / figurines.

The Dwarves are the third punk personality to be polyresinated by Aggronautix. In May of 2009, both a Tesco Vee figure (limited to 1000) and a highly popular GG Allin "1991" figure (limited to 2000 and nearly sold out) were released with the company's inception.

Today, Aggronautix continues the tradition of molding trouble-making punk rockers with the Dwarves. As a purveyor of pure carnage and fun, Blag Dahlia was instantly amused by the idea of becoming an effigy.

"Me and HeWhoCanNotBeNamed are the best looking men in show business," said Blag. "It was only fitting that we be immortalized in space age polymer to frighten parents and tittilate teenage girls everywhere!"

The fun continues with the "Dwarves PSA", an animated short produced by Postage, Inc. for Aggronautix:

Art Director Joseph Krzemienski, Executive
Producer Allen Clements and world renowned
Comic Book Artist Jeff McComsey worked
exclusively on "Dwarves PSA". Clements comments:

"This project was kind of a throwback. Coming from a traditional mindset, we had to develop new techniques to deliver an old style... Something reminiscent of 80s / 90s Saturday morning cartoons. We immediately thought of the GI Joe PSAs at the end of each program, and teaching right from wrong from the wise words of a hero. How many punk rock kids have heroes? Who are they?"

All Aggronautix figures are now available for
purchase on www.aggronautix.com or www.seeofsound.com and will also be available at many independent retailers, comic shops, tattoo parlors, and Walmart (just kidding).

Nick Oliveri Set To Release "Death Acoustic"

From Kyuss to Queens of the Stone Age to Mondo Generator to Solo Effort

Impedance and MVD Audio are pleased to announce the release of Nick Oliveri - Death Acoustic for North American distribution on October 6, 2009.

You may know him as the long haired bass player on the early Kyuss albums or as the mysterious Rex Everything in The Dwarves. Others will know him as one of the creative partners behind Queens Of The Stone Age and more recently the screaming front man of Mondo Generator. He is of course, Nick Oliveri... A man that should need no introduction to rock fans across the world.


Starting his musical career as a teenager with some friends from Palm Desert, California, Oliveri played bass and wrote a number of songs on the first two albums of desert rock pioneers Kyuss. The band would go on to establish them as a cult band worldwide and ensure high interest in all the members' future projects.

One of those projects became Oliveri's most successful commercial venture; it was of course Queens Of The Stone Age. Alongside song writing partner Josh Homme, Oliveri played on and co-wrote the bands two most critically acclaimed and successful albums Rated R and Songs For The Deaf.

After a split with the band in 2004, he focused his energies on his own band Mondo Generator, while also being a part time member of The Dwarves and playing bass in the very occasional band Moistboyz alongside members of Ween and Butthole Surfers. Soon enough, he will also be a featured guest on the forthcoming solo album of Slash.

Throughout his career delivering audiences wild and loud rock shows with the aforementioned bands, Oliveri has found time to play intimate, solo acoustic shows. Just him and his guitar, blending songs he has written for the bands he has played in, specifically written songs for the solo shows, and well chosen covers. In this format he has further showcased what a great songwriter and musician he is.

Death Acoustic is the result of these efforts; Oliveri spent the last twelve months in his home studio recording tracks for his solo album. In October it is unleashed with touring to back it up across the world over the last few months of this year and into next year.


Track Listing: Start a Fight, Like the Sky, Dairy Queen, Gonna Leave You, Love Has Passed Me By, U Blow, Hybrid Moments, Unless I Can Kill, Follow Me, Outlaw Scumfuc
