Stallone Movie Marathon


Yo dudes.
As you may recall--we are on summer break...but The Chop doesn't stop working.  Ever.
James and I are playing an acoustic show at Brainwash in SF on August 14th.  Our good compadre Igor is also playing.  It is free...and you'll be able to hear some of the new songs we've been working on with the full band, plus Hot Chip and They Might Be Giants covers and maybe some Styx if you're lucky.  It'll be James' solo stage debut...so you have to come see what's what and have some beers with us besides.  Do it!

Then we're playing a huge show on Friday September 4th, opening for Triple Cobra and PunchFace at Bottom of the Hill.  That will really be awesome...should have something like 5 new original songs for that, and we're involved in some intense cerebral discussion as to in which manner we should rock. The general thought is "hard".

Oh yeah--that picture is us at Grant and Green singing "Born in Wilmington" with fellow Delawareans Nikki and Louie.  Listen to the song here:

Things overheard at practice this week:

"Those ba-ba-ba's are killing me. You gotta cut that [guitar] solo shorter"

"My amp's in the perfect spot...way too loud for me and just regular loud for everyone else"
 - "Now you're thinking like a guitar player"

"maybe this part should just be all [guitar] feedback" (sarcastic)

as tango loves cash, so do we love you.
rob-a-lon 5 out!
