Two new songs on MySpace
Two more songs from the album have been posted on MySpace. The first is called ‘Dial Tone’ and has very little to do with phone service. The second is called ‘The Survival Guide’, which offers step by step instructions on how to survive the upcoming zombie holocaust. Album pre-order info coming in the next 2-3 days!
Smash It Up!
We’re on a new compilation CD on Mother Box Records. The disc is pretty great and features 14 bands each doing 2 songs that are loosely based on cars. Do check it out!
That’s how we roll
A new song from the new album has been posted on our Myspace page. It’s called ‘Death Race 2000’ and it’s about the classic movie of the same name, not that new crap one currently in theaters. How can you not enjoy a movie where you score points for running people over?
The new album release date is…
… October 14th!!! Stay tuned for a special MySpace only pre-sale in late September.
Crippled again
I think our legacy towards being the most accident prone band ever is becoming a reality. Justin is currently crutch bound and was informed he is going to have to undergo knee surgery to remove a “foreign object”. He can’t extend or bend his knee which pretty much sucks. Needless to say, no more shows for a bit, including the one with Viva Hate. It’s sort of ironic that the healthiest member of the band is always the one who breaks. Anyway, time to stock up on vitamins and milk before we break anything else.
Live in Portland? Want to hear new songs?
This Saturday we’re playing at Kelly’s Olympian w/ Accidental Gun Death and The Crawlers. We’re going to be playing a few songs from our upcoming album live for the very first time. Could be magic. Could be awful. Either way if you are of age check it out. Even if we crash and burn, the other bands are fantastic and can pick up the slack. The second show of note is on the 31st at Rock N Roll Pizza w/ Wednesday 13, Still Dead and Regiment 26. In our half-ass attempt at borderline bribery we’re making CD-R’s with some new songs from the upcoming album on it. First 50 people who ask for the disc will get one. Come to a show, get free music that literally no-one outside of the band has ever heard before and will hear for about 2 more months. The last Wed 13 show in Portland sold out, so get your advance tickets at TicketsWest.
Damn, now that’s a commitment
I think we’re done with zombie makeup because this guy puts everyone to shame!
Drop a few, gain a few, it’s all good
Despite our two cancellations last week we just added two pretty cool shows in July and August. The first is in Portland on July 31 w/ Wednesday 13. If you aren’t familiar with Wed. 13 it’s part of the Murderdolls doing punk style tunes with a B-movie flair. Word on the streets is that their shows are pretty awesome. In fact their last Portland show sold out which seems to be rare these days. The August show we added is in Salem w/ Viva Hate, which contains members of Tiger Army and Swingin’ Utters. Should be some good summer fun so check them out if you can. Lastly, if you know Dave send him an e-mail or MySpace message. He’s stuck in the Philippines for a month and we can only imagine he’s bored to tears. Last time there he saw a guy get shot. Thug life.
One more strike and we’re out
Sadly we have to cancel our upcoming Roseburg and Astoria shows. What really sucks is that both of these shows were reschedules from last year and now we have to “re-cancel” them. For those of you who might have discovered us recently this whole cancelling thing is actually kind of new to us. In our first 13 years as a band we had a total of three cancellations. In the past three weeks we’ve doubled that number. Awesome. Apologies to the promoters, other bands and people who might have wanted to see us. I’d say we’ll be back soon but I can’t imagine a 2nd shot to redeem ourselves will come too quickly.
Ford = Total Crap
Are you supposed to give your van a tip when it bends you over and screws you so well? Thanks to a starter that broke 30 miles from the venue we missed our show in Olympia this weekend. It also led to the sketchiest tow truck ride ever as shown below. Apologies to anyone who attended or cared.
