Welcome to the first
Audio Karate fan site on the internet
News
04th of July 2007
Audio Karate have posted a new demo tilted "Saturday Night" on their myspace
page, check that out here.
They've also re-uploaded Segway, which is a B-side from Lady Melody and
worth checking out if you haven't heard it. There's also a couple of really
cool live videos from the 2004 Warped Tour that have been uploaded to
Youtube, which you can check out
here. Enjoy.
12th of November 2006
Argh! Sorry for the huge lack of updates, I'm going to try and keep the site
more up to date from now on.
A lot has been going on with Audio Karate, as I'm sure you'll probably
already know. Gabriel unfortunately left the band to pursue another career,
which really does suck because he's one of the best drummers I've ever
heard. I wish him luck with whatever he's doing now.
Audio Karate have been writing, recording and producing the soundtrack for
an independent film called Maquillaje which was described as "kind of
a dark thing about botched love and suicide and all those fun things.".
The film will be at film festivals by the end of the year. Four songs were
made available on Myspace for a limited amount of time titled Dead Wife,
Monica Omar, No Te Preocupas and Southside. In a Myspace blog Jason
commented that the songs "sound nothing
like audiokarate songs, they're a lot of keys and funny instruments and have
Art singing in a bunch of funny keys."
and while the songs were very different from other Audio Karate music they
generally got good reception from the fans.
Jason
has also opened his own studio, called "Lady Melody Studio". There's some
more information on that
here.
I'm going to try and get around to updating the website soon, seeing as this
layout looks a bit dated compared to my current web-designing abilities.
I'll try and make one with a link back to the home page this time, I
promise.
10th of July
Jason posted an update on the message board yesterday informing that
tentative recording time has been booked for January, and that they're
speculating a summer '06 release of the new record. You can read that post
here. Also, I
found out yesterday that if you live outside of the US you're going to have
to wait until the 1st of August to get the new Kung Fu Records compilation
disk with the Blasting Rooms version of She Looks Good on it.
Punk Rock is Your Friend 6 UK
Punk Rock is Your Friend 6 US
13th of June
Some very good Audio Karate news was announced by Jason on the forum
yesterday. The unreleased version of She Looks Good which was recorded at
the Blasting Rooms last winter is being put onto the next Kung Fu Records
compilation CD, "Punk Rock is Your Friend 6: hardcore is your friend too".
The CD is set to be released on the 12th of July and, in tradition, will be
dirt cheap, so you don't have an excuse to pick it up and rock out to this
unreleased treasure. If the demo version is anything to go by, this is going
to be a classic.
29th of April
Sorry the updates have been very sparse as of late, I've been busy with
coursework and what not. I've updated the Biography to contain information
up to the time of writing. I'd also like to inform anyone who hasn't been
checking the message board lately
that a few updates have been posted informing us what's going on in the
Audio Karate world.
19th of February
In case you missed it, there's was a video interview with audio karate added
to the kung fu records page on Monday, check it out
here. Also, I've
added a new Press Photo, check that out
here.
I've added a new link too.
1st of February
We've got a new tab! Thanks to Ante we now have a tab for the superb She
Looks Good. Check it out
here.
11th of January
Happy New Year AK-doggs! Sorry I've not been updating much lately. My friend
Ante did a Tab of Jason (off Space Camp) to put on the site, you can have a
look at that here. Also, I'm proud to announce I am now owner of the Paper Bag demo
(Wahoo!) It was still in the original plastic wrapping stuff when I got it,
how about that... I'll post some pictures or something soon. Watch this
space. Peace out.
30th of November
I'm sure anybody who went to see AK with The Vandals and the God Awfuls
touring the UK doesn't need me to tell how amazing the shows were, and I'm
sure I speak for everyone who went when I say thank you very much Art, Gabe,
Jason and Justo for coming back to play another set of shows in the UK! You
guys rule. Oh and also I'd like to thank anyone who printed off and stuck up
some of my flyers. Okay, I found a really cool article earlier today which
you can find by clicking
here, It's a review of Lady Melody and interview with Jason rolled into
one, how convenient! The guys have posted a message on the board saying
they'll be taking the rest of the year and a good portion of next year
writing music for the next CD and thanking their fans for all the support
given during 2004, check that out
here. So I'd
like to take this opportunity to thank Audio Karate for making such a great
CD and coming to play in our towns, and wish them good luck for next year.
Enjoy your hard earned break guys.
1st of November
I've updated the tablature page, my friend Dave sent me a tab for The End
Wont Justify The Means and it's very good, so I thought I'd share it with
you.
28th of October
I made a flyer for the UK tour for you to print out and stick up, hand out,
whatever. Get it
here or on the media page. I've also put yet another press photo in the
pictures section, check it out.
27th of October
I've changed the layout totally this time... the old one just looked bad.
I've also put up a new press photo from the Space Camp era and I've got
another I'm gonna put it later in the week. There's also a wallpaper I
made in the Media section and I've added a couple of cool links to the links
page as well.
25th of October

29th of September
Audio Karate won the Punk Radio Cast top 40 Sunday countdown, thanks to
anyone who voted for that. There was a little update on the kung fu records
site a couple of days ago naming Audio Karate as the "Kung Fu Touring Band
of the Year" check it out
here and scroll down to 'Audio Karate Touring Touring and Touring
some more'
1st of September
Just a quick update, I've found yet another press photo, go to the pictures
section to find it. Also I stumbled on a nice little site the other day go
over and have a look:

27th of August
I found another press photo and uploaded it, go to the pictures section to
find it. I've also updated the Tablature page with a link to a One Day
guitar tab and Gypsy Queen guitar pro tab (unfortunately you need the
program guitar pro to get this one but you can download a trial version on
the site). Some wallpapers and such I made will be finding their way onto
the media page soon.
15th of August
I've finally changed the layout, I hope this is easier on the eyes. I've
also added a pictures section with a few press photos and a handful of the
photos I took when I went to see them at Stoke on Trent, enjoy.
4th of August
AK will be touring in the UK with the Vandals and the God Awfuls. In true AK
UK fashion I've posted the tour dates
here. Also I've been working on a flash
intro but it takes too long to load at the moment (its about 200kb). You can
see it
here.
22nd of July
Site has been moved over to freewebs it keeps going weird at geocities. The
guys have almost finished their UK tour and I'd like to take a moment to
thank them and all the support bands for putting on such a great set of
shows. Expect a review and some photos from the Stoke show shortly. I'll
also get to work on the lyrics I've been too lazy to write out.
29th of June
OK, the site is almost finished now, I still need to write down the Space
Camp and Lady Melody lyrics though. I made the discography more
comprehensive too by adding compilations that have Audio Karate songs on
them. Also I crawled all over the web looking for guitar and bass tabs so
you don't have to (still no sign of drum tabs sorry). Remember, whore the
e-card
http://audiokarate.com/ecard/
22nd of June
Head over to
www.audiokarate.com, the new message board is up and it looks
great, also send the e-card to absolutely everyone you know to spread around
the tour info (plus you can stream the first half of the CD for all you
undecided cheapskates out there).
