cool guy, great review, we're honored for such rad words to be said about us.

Allichan's birthday show


was classy, beautiful, martha stewart-lovely, drinks but not piss drunk, 60's garage, good vibes and good people. band meeting beforehand, changing of miscommunications. all for the best. the five of us blended into functional arrays of sounds and colors, coming together for the final blast off of sound. the whole night was fantastic. brian jonestown and sludgy conversations with hippie feels. one of the best backyard shows ever

Playing in Hell



finding the venue was a somewhat difficult task, we realized we had made it when we saw young humans sitting outside of it, & we took out magnifying glasses to see the sign "black castle"
the stage was super large, and high up, we weren't used to it but we made fun out of it with the fog machine going, sweat dripping. we premiered our new song, still untitled, friendship themed. full energy & speed. thanks to Christian for putting it all together. the arcade games on the side ruled, brainfreeze being back together was a fly thing, and becoming friends with LOJ was grand. we made it to hell and back again. cheesy but when are we ever gonna be able to say that? hahaaha

we haven't been in the wild for a week.

Andre's gone to Palm Springs to indulge in teenager activity
but main reason:
Andy's cabinets collapsed which led to everytttthinggg being moved into the garage.
our practice space.

so practices are postponed, until true pleased feelings are created from the kitchen & it's completeness.

pray that this process will hurry, we want to start writing and practicing againnnnn

Show @ The Airliner

Our second show playing at an ID-checking, bouncer in the front, 1/2 of the band not being able to get in until we play: bar/venue.

special thanks to: claudia, rebecca & danny's cousins & uncle
We got together at Danny's house to practice since our usual Andy's garage spot is being infested by kitchen litter for the time-being. After touring and touring the unknown grounds & making mac & cheese, we got to work.
Jogged through our set in the dark & tried to come up with an ending to our in-the-making new song. It's fairly in your face thrashy yet catchy. we likeeee it/
packed up & took off to Broadway, where bums ask for money and pretend that their wives are following behind them to give you more of an incentive to donate, when really the woman knows not of the man at all.

Not being allowed to get in for our under-age sins we loitered & indulged at the king of all tacos.


we sweet talked the security and got X'ed up, we entered a dim lit couch bar

The set itself went really well, the sound guy was on it, running around everywhere, the vocals were limited to a small square of space which limited the moving around which equaled not getting tired which equaled hitting every note. the drums were mic'ed & everyone was together, it was rad.

we played with Kasio Antaxia, who rule

Monga Monga station!

through all the mistakes, line of lyric being forgotten & fail breaks the show last night was somewhat of a success.

people were into us & the patches got snatched up really quickly, they were gone before our set was even over. free balloons were enjoyed and were tossed around during our set

we got asked for an encore (hahahaahha) and played a tired "regurgitate"

we made new friends with a band named SUBVERT
http://www.myspace.com/subvertnow
they're really good, somewhat of an against me/a billion ernies mix with good energy.

special thanks to: HannaH, raziel, marisa, melissa, danny, aaron, jesse, joe & alyssa for being there without having to be there. & erik's sister for letting it all happen in her backyard
...maybe we're starting to like the inland empire.

.....maybe.

before the show, we took turns dressing up as peter pan-blind & unblind.

Danny won the look-a-like contest.

afterwards, we went to the hat

and were ignored by rock-the-bells attendees
"hey man..how was rock the bells!?"

good night,awkward moments,good times, still a good night.
