FYI,
Reverb did a cool article on DHS awhile ago in his unfortunately
discontinued e-zine. Check the hyperreal archives for that one. But Dan
told me once that Ben Stokes is in some way involved with H-Gun in Chicago,
a really cool "media" company that has, among many other projects, done
some of the more radical music videos out there recently. For example I
think H-Gun created the VIDEO for Ministry's "just one fix" which is a
visually fascinating/disturbing piece, and I *think* they did a video for
PublicEnemy, too. (?).
Last I heard Reverb was looking into doing a WWW page for DHS, or, uh,
wasn't I supposed to say that Dan? ;) Clue us in... Any new music on
the horizon from DHS?
