Fezdak ClamchopbreathOld Time Relijun is a band founded in Olympia, Washington, United States and a longtime member of K Records. Current members are Germaine Baca on drums, Aaron Hartman on upright bass, Ben Hartman on saxophones, and Arrington de Dionyso on electric guitar, vocals and bass clarinet. The reviews of the band are radically mixed among critics, with Pitchfork Media giving both a horribly scathing [1] review along with one praising the band of brilliance [2]. Old Time Relijun first began recording under a home-made audio cassette label, Pine Cone Alley and were later adopted by indie giant K Records. They are currently based in Portland, Oregon.
On and as of May 15, 2009, frontman and lead dancer Arrington de Dionyso had stated unverified claims of the individual band members' intentions of occupying and maintaining particular sections of Olympia, WA, their former headquarters and the capitol of Washington state.
