New record plans and our summer break

Dear Fun-Lovers,

Many things happening. First, we made some demos for our upcoming album, and had lots of fun doing so.  We posted one we're quite excited about here, it's called "Radio Doctor (part I)":

Listen to that and please pass along the link or repost it if you can.

We did this recording ourselves with minimal time and equipment, but are really happy at how it turned out and excited to make it bigger and better when we record it again for the album.

We're on summer break right now writing and arranging the second half of a new album, and are trying to make/save money for that inevitably expensive process.  If you feel like supporting us (via paypal donation), go here to do so.  Even one dollar is significant to us and our rock and roll related cause.  Your collective generosity consistently astounds us.  Thank you.

We've booked an amazing comeback show on Friday, September 4th at Bottom of the Hill opening for two awesome bands, Triple Cobra and Punchface.  This show will really be epic.

Observe the checklist:

1. venue = bottom of the hill, our favorite spot in SF, no question

2. night = Friday, undisputed king of all nights

3. setlist = a bunch of brand new songs that we are very stoked to play

4. approach = fully theatrical and energetic after a nice break from being onstage

5. other acts = high energy, crowd-enflaming, full glam spectaculars (seriously)

6. age limitations = none.  all are welcome and encouraged to have fun.

7. FRIDAY night at BOTTOM OF THE HILL with TRIPLE COBRA.  We are very happy.

Buy yourself some tickets because this one is likely to SELLOUT.

We have lots of other plans and ideas for this summer and beyond...more details as they are confirmed, but suffice to say we are discussing how to release more songs of more varieties all leading up to and as promotion for our second album being recorded/released sometime next year.  Stay tuned.

Here's  a little poster I threw together....bigger and better promotional tools to come as the date draws nigh.

it was cold and it rained, thus I felt like an actor,

Video Representations! and a FREE show tonight!

Despair not!

Recall that I taped our show at The Hemlock Tavern last month on my birthday (Mayth)...it was, as previously noted, a raucous good time filled with cake, jagermeister, and olivia newton john.

We are playing tonight for FREE at Grant and Green and then taking the summer off.

Some things some or all of us are gonna do on our summer vacation:

1. Go to Europe

2. Practice kung fu

3. Begin a culinary (education) program

4. Write comedy songs

5. Write rap songs

6. Write regular songs

7. Jump rope

8. Wonder where the water ice is

9. Fly across the country to see Steely Dan

10. Procure aforementioned water ice in quantity

check out some videos of the Mayth show (more on our youtube page!)

It seems as though the cat has been caught by the very person who was trying to catch him!
