it’s 4:29 as i’m writing this, so i am a bit tired, i just really wanted to put a little note up while the feeling is fresh. tonight we played with halfway to hell club and bastard cut. we opened up and played a little bit of everything. some tunes from the record, a pair of newsies and a old chop from the demo. it felt great, we enjoyed ourselves and burt hit his third decade at the stroke of midnight. big thanks to joey for having us. it was great to see hell club after a long dormancy, they are such an amazing band but unfortunately they don’t do enough. bastard cut played a bunch of new jams that all sound amazing, i can’t wait ’til they record in july. i will listen the shit out of those songs.
last week at beery’s was great too. penny winblood was mind blowing as usual because they don’t write music on the same planet as us. hands like feet are a bunch of really nice dudes that are tighter then we could ever try to be. and sister kisser are the nicest, funnest band ever. jokes out the wazz. they make it easy to smile when they do things like say “i can’t remember this part so ‘do doo dooo do-do do do doooo’” in reference to the guitar riffs they forgot. that’s just marvelous. that’s fun.
so we’re going to attempt to finish our two new tracks next week, or at least get a better hold on them. i don’t know what they’ll end up being released as yet, but i am excited to see it happen because they are some of my favorites.
our recordogram the taxes in texas is pretty much sold out on orange (at least from our end – i think mike has a couple left?) and the black copies are moving steadily. it can be purchased from a number of distros online or at academy records locations in the east village and brooklyn.
