Dewey Beach Music Conference This Weekend

Hey All!

We’re leaving tonight for our second appearance at the Dewey Beach Music Conference in Dewey Beach, Delaware! We’ll be playing Friday night at 9:40 PM on the Bottle and Cork Main Stage. We had so much fun last year, met a bunch of really cool people who we hope to hook up with again. This year is represented well, with our friends The Lights Out, The States and Planeside all rocking with us!

We should have plenty of ridiculous stories to tell when we get home, so stay tuned. Here is the website for the conference, so check it out!

We leave for tour today!

We’re all so glad that today is finally here. We leave in T-minus 20 minutes and start heading towards New York City for tonight’s show at Arlene’s Grocery. We’ll be fighting the holiday traffic but it’s okay. We are equipped with board games and Mad Libs. Can’t really go wrong with that. From New York, it’s to Pennsylvania. From Pennsylvania back to Connecticut (thanks to the Philadelphia club who shall remain nameless… for now). From Connecticut aaaaalllll the way out to Ohio. Then down to Kentucky, Tennessee, to Georgia and then, finally, Florida. We’re hitting both Orlando and Pensacola before the long drive back home. We’re so pumped for each show and can’t wait a minute longer to get on the road. We’ll be sending updates and hopefully loading pictures as we go so check back!

I miss you already!

Sad day for Boston radio…

Steve here, eating a pint of ice cream and watching “Sleepless in Seattle” for the third time on AMC. Yesterday it was announced that the legendary WBCN 104.1 was changing format and frequency to become the “sports hub of Boston” and dropping their rock radio format. While it’s great news that the “Rock of Boston” will be moving to internet radio, it’s still sad that so many of us will have to find something else to fill the voids of our car radio presets. The future of some of the friends we’ve made at the station is uncertain, to us anyways for now, but we wish the absolute best for them and hope that they find new homes in the Boston scene. Thanks for the opportunities and memories WBCN! We hope to get to play more “Name That Out-of-Tune” and hear Chili Guy audio somewhere else really soon.

Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan need to team up more often. Three movies just wasn’t enough.

I finally saw a bare naked girl!

As Steve has recently informed y’all, I have yet to see a naked women in my 27 years on this planet. I had a great feeling about this weekend, and I was determined to see a women. Who would have thought that the first woman that I would see naked would be someone I’ve known for years. That’s right, Steve revealed his Marilyn Manson-like mangina for all to see at the camp site. It was not exactly what I was hoping for, but I guess it will have to do for now. I hope that image stays with you for the rest of the day, enjoy.

Oh, and we are changing our band name…. Whhaaaaaaaat Duuuuuddeeee?!?!?!

New York and New Jersey this weekend, Muffin Tits!

We are peacing out to New York tonight, braving the threats of severe thunderstorms, building sized hail, and winds that would make the red eye of Jupiter blush. Our goal? To rock New York City’s socks off at The Delancey, fuckers!

Then Saturday, we travel the perilous route of the New Jersey turnpike to melt faces and cheese at The Cherrywood in Clarksboro! Aarrrgh, a righteous weekend it will be! We shall dance and sing of rumors about Abraham Lincoln around the camp fire! They will surely speak of these tidings for many a fort night!

New songs coming sooooooon…. and some crazy big announcements too (And no, Matt still hasn’t seen a bare naked girl yet).

Steve

In the studio! New music on the way!

Good evening! We just got back from the studio and boy are our ears tired. We wrapped up tracking basics tonight and all that’s left to do are vocals and some technical nonsense that you guys wouldn’t care about. We are recording two brand new songs with Alex Hatziyannis and they’re coming out great! We’ve been playing both songs at shows for a couple of months now so you might recognize them when you finally check them out. It will be a little while before you get to hear them but we’ve been filming our usual studio tomfoolery and our Nintendo high scores, so we’ll have snippets for you all soon. Until then, eat your greens and remember to wait a half an hour before swimming…

Recording and Touring AND Boston Show!

We are heading over to our ol’ buddy Alex Hatziyannis place to record a couple tracks in June. We are gonna try some type of live recording this time with hopes of a different type of feeling for the new songs. Two songs, “Halls and Butchered Columns” and Acquired Attire”. If you have been out to the past couple shows, you have heard them. So that’s exciting and we will let you guys know when they are worthy for your listening pleasure.
