A Couple-a More Shows

Oct. 28th, 2009

We have firmed up details for a couple more shows on the “Oh my god, Vegas took me for all I’m worth ’09” tour. Which is a good thing, because between the pinball and Roulette tables, Vegas pretty much took us for all we are worth. Here’s the details:

  • Oct 30, 2009 – 9pm – Tucson, AZ – All Ages at Jacob’s YMCA
  • Nov 3, 2009 – 9pm – Medford, OR – 21+ at Johnny B’s pdf

Cracker Barrell

Oct. 25th, 2009

The ZACC Gallery was a badass show – all of the kids who were out were boogyin’ and having a good time. Mardy did a great job putting together the show & Jesse from Birds Mile Home took really good care of us. We made it out of Missoula fairly unscathed – only up until 5, only collectively went through something like 78 beers. We got our asses out of bed – or rather off of floor – around 10.

We hit up the Cracker Barrel. That may prove to be the single worst decision made on the tour so far. A lot of grease. A lot of salt. Two miles out of Missoula and we need to make a stop. We stopped at a place that holds the annual Testicle Festival. Hmmm…

Chris passed out in the back seat. Travis drove, Brian sat shot gun, and I sat in the back nerding out on the ’puter. Travis and Brian really got into it regarding who the best lead for Captain America would be – Will Smith (WTF!?) or Aaron Eckhart. You can see where this is going. The heated argument almost led to us running out of gas. Awesome.

Filling Station Tonight

We are hanging out with the kids in Bozeman. We are stoked to be playing at the Filling Station with Smokestacks, Good News From France and a hot new band called TBA. Not to be missed.

Demo

For anyone who is interested and couldn’t get a copy of the CD at the show last night (because Missoula hasn’t heard of High Speed internet), you can download it at the following location:

Hi-Tech Nut Filter

Oct. 24th, 2009

First off, today we renamed the tour. It is no longer the “Western States ’09” tour. It is now the “Chris got laid off, Let’s party (aka this is fucking bullshit)” tour.

So… there was a mind-blowing meltdown last night at the Lion’s Lair. It was super. We were into it and rockin’ down with the best of them. A mean combination of asphalt, Sailor Jerry and a shitty promoter led to the event now known as “Crusher’s Meltdown”. It was priceless to see the promoter’s eyes glaze over as he realized that he was pretty much fucked. It was too bad, because, as I said, we were playing pretty well. Unplug and load out, boys

Sorry about that, Brandon – the show you put on was good other than that. For all the rest of you out there, check out Riverside Breakdown. You won’t be sorry.

Tonight! We are playing an all ager at the ZACC Gallery in Missoula.
