Here we are only four days away from the two big Tiger Army shows in LA. Hopefully they will actually happen this time because 2000 miles is a bit far to drive for a free sympathy lunch from the House Of Blues. On a somewhat bittersweet note after three and a half years we have decided to close up shop on our street team. There is a full explanation on the Local 800 page but it’s definitely not a bad thing and we definitely consider our street team experiment a success. In fact it actually became too active for us to manage and still keep cool at the same time! It goes without saying but thanks to everyone who participated over the years!
Seems our failed trip to LA last month was not in vain as we have been asked play both Tiger Army make up dates in LA and the House Of Blues!!! Can I get an amen?
Thanks to all who voted to get us on the front page of Interpunk.com!
This just in … we’re playing May 26th with Tiger Army at the House Of Blues in West Hollywood. I think it’s safe to say this is the biggest show we’ve ever played. Everyone cross your fingers and hope we don’t suck!
More shows, more shows, more shows!
Thanks to the Independents for letting us play three shows with them this past week. Out next show is with the Groovie Ghoulies in Portland on the 28th. If you were looking for a copy of The Kelvis we now offer the “no frills edition”. See the merch page for details.
Ok, so The Independents totally rock. So does Dustin. Come check them out, him out and us out tonight in Eugene or Sunday in Portland.
We’re going to be playing two more shows with our friend Dan this weekend before he runs off for a new career on the open road. We’d like to thank him for helping us write some new songs and hope these shows are a decent reward for his efforts. We’ve got a few new shows confirmed in April including a low dough show at Dante’s with the Groovie Ghoulies. Wait a minute … if Dan’s leaving then who’s drumming? See if you can identify the correct response: (a) We’re going acoustic and getting serious about our music so we don’t need drummers anymore (b) We finally got the most reliable option … a drum machine (c) We’ve enlisted a troupe of monkeys to pound on pots and pans while we play (d) We’re going to try out a guy named Dustin at these shows and see if he’s a good fit for the band. Come to the shows are see if your guess was correct!
This is a shot out and thank you to our friend Hopper who passed away last week. He was a familiar face at shows since back in the Animal Farm days and we’d definitely consider him a friend of ours. Rest in peace Hopper and thanks for the good memories.
