News and Updates and Videos of Us

We got ourselves a video courtesy of RedLabelFilms.com.  It's edited together from our live performance at the Coho in Stanford a few weeks ago, but laid over the album cut of Scientist.  Abteen and Jay did a swell job...check it!



We made The Bay Bridged podcast April mixtape (that's episode #160) with our song "We Want It All".  The Bay Bridged is a well-established Bay Area music podcast with oodles of listeners and mad cred, as it were.  If you're hip to podcasts, download that now off of iTunes. It is FREE.

We also have had some exciting shows in the last few weeks, and some more coming up...here's some brief descriptions:

Our Talking Heads Spectacular on 4/17 went amazingly well.  Goodbye Nautilus played Take Me to the River and Girlfriend is Better in their set, Touch Committee played Wild Wild Life and Road to Nowhere, and The Chop rocked through Swamp and Pulled Up...at the end 7 of us crowded on stage for a sweet rendition of Life During Wartime
Also, this girl was there:

Last Friday we went to Davis and had a wild (wild) evening...showed up to find we were the only band playing (although they did line up an acoustic opener) and that we were expected to play for something like 2 hours (as opposed to the 45 minutes we're used to).  So we extended all the tunes, ramped up the solos, did some songs we didn't quite know...it was all pretty fun.
At the end of the night one of the bouncers/bartenders was going through and pouring the miniscule remnants of each "empty" liquor bottle into one consolidated bottle.  It was a disgusting brown, the product of every liquor under the sun being mixed.  He dubbed it "Dumpster Juice" and was really excited about it.  Naturally, James took a shot of it.  In the bathroom.

After that we went home.

The next night we played the Stork Club in Oakland and I posted a 109xxx Ms Pacman score. Take that, Namco!

Tonight, we ride!

next year is the best year,
rob
