Also, planning the next pre-release for Sept 8th (fingers crossed)!! Aug 5, Thanks so much to everyone who came out for the show! It was a total blast! Check the blogspot tomorrow for the skinny on the night! Jun 31, We're excited to be playing this Sat, Aug 2nd at the Rockit Room in SF! Please see the show page for details. As just mentioned, the new song is available as an mp3 from Milk Milk Lemonade. For all download options, please go to the listen page. Lyrics, cover art, & additional info are posted on our blogspot. Jun 29, The Pre-release version of Memory Metal is up!! Go to Milk-Milk Lemonade to hear it. A HUGE thanks to Casey & Michelle for the feature (please take a second to say hi to them, their blogspot is as good as it gets!) Also, a new show for this weekend in SF (click on shows). More tomorrow! Talk soon! June 9, Mastering delay for work on interactive website for children. Hi everyone. The website Zookazoo has asked for some musical assistance which will interfere slightly with the new song being posted. This is unexpected & believe me, the three hours of sleep in me from this week trying to get this tune online begs to differ with this delay... "but for the children!" The tune should only be delayed until the weekend at most. promise. promise. June 8, The pre-release version Memory Metal should be up at some point late today or early tomorrow. We wish it could have been up this morning but oh those last minute adjustments. All details on uploading asap. On a brighter side, the Boss RDD-20 reverb did not suffer the fatal blowout as thought during the last gig! The suspision was it took a bad hit of juice powering up and didn't wanna wakey. Hurray! June 23, Thanks so much to everyone who came out! Ah much appreciation for the patience of the delayed start due to the untimely blowout of the staunch, much loved Boss RDD-20. After a solid 13 years, I bid you a sad farewell (a full report on the blogspot soon). June 17, Oh this year...indeed. Is it just me or is it just getting faster?? A few things: Because of time it's taking to record and compile the next full length, Blackout, we've decided to put a new song (maybe two) available for download every month until the release of the final disk. These preview track versions will most likely be on the final album though with a good chance of them sounding different when coming out on the final record. The idea of doing this is a mixture of alleviating some of the anxiousness that comes from the record taking so long and will offer people who stop by the sites something new on a more regular basis. The songs will be posted on the 8th of each month starting in July with a track called Memory Metal slated as being the first. We've been anxious to talk further about this. We had our first show with new bassist Susie S Kim in April and it's been really great. Rehearsals are freshly energized by her enthusiasm and her sense of humor couldn't be more up our alley. Of us she says: "You guys were very sweet and not alpha- male band douche bags." Of her we say: "Smart, talented, endearing, and…. suitably mad …" pics are at our blogspot We excited to be playing a pool party in Palo Alto! This is the first in what is to be an ongoing series called Pavilion Concert Series presented by Ajay Kachwaha. Hope to see ya there! Mar 13, Whew! Hope your having a smoother time adjusting to the bolting speed this year seems bent on taking than we are. We're so excited about our new bass player! Her name is Susie S Kim and she'll be at our first show of the year at the Retox Lounge. Come out and say hi!! Dec 21, Come hang out for the holidays with this one last show of 07! Nov 5, Thanks so much to everyone who came out to the Vibraphone label launch show & to those who emailed in support! It was very much a night to remember for all! Now it's back to recording. The chopping block is in full swing & a list of all the songs/demos that are being considered (most of which still need much work) is listed at our myspaceand blogspot sites along with new pictures from the show.

September 5, We're so excited to announce our first show at the Red Devil Lounge! This is going to be great fun.
