So, you’ve noticed that we have a link to the ‘Smoke Shop’, right? Well let’s get those orders rolling! We have strong needs and desires that can only be fulfilled when you buy some of our crap. Already have a Grey SJ Tee, you say? Well then expand your horizons (and your wardrobe color) by picking up a ’squatch tee!

Koozies

We are currently out of Koozies. Boo! Good news is, we are going to order some more. Yay! Have a kick-ass idea for a Koozie design? Then send it to us via email. We’ll pick the best one and give you ‘credit’ for it. We’ll even give the ‘winning’ designer a free Koozie. Such a bargain…

RSS

Yeah – we have a link up there if you would like to pull a feed down into your news reader of choice and get some auto-magic updates on what’s going on. Out of the gates, we are only going to throw up an RSS 2.0 feed (for all of you nerds out there). If you would prefer an older revision (or perhaps you would prefer an atom feed?) then send us a note: info@smokejumperseattle.com.

Hey everyone! We’ll be playing a show tomorrow night with Shakes. We’re looking forward to it. It should be a grand time down on the south end of town.

This weekend, we’re going to start pre-prod on songs that we are recording for a couple of releases this spring. Lots of beats – fast fast beats. Whee…

Store

We have a couple of items for sale – pick up a couple of smokejumper Tshirts to wrap your dirty clothes in. They make great stocking stuffers… for next year. Or something. Just click on the “Smoke Shop” link above.

… Inside of YOU.

Come down to El Corazon tomorrow and sing along as Chris and I wail out a full set of nothing but Screeching Weasel tunes with Eric and Andrew from Kane Hodder. It’s gonna be about 15 minutes worth of 12 or so of your favorites, so don’t miss it!

Last Night

Was a great show. All the bands played great and you (the crowd) were stupendous (as always). Best of luck to Random Orbits on their weekend trip. To all the other bands – it was a good time and we can’t wait for the next time. As for the rest of you (again, the crowd) – we will see you at the next show next Friday for a house show with Shakes (details coming soon!)

We all barely made it through the new year, but with 10 extra pounds each and a hurting liver to boot, we’re back in action and have a ton of exciting things planned in the new year.
First off, we’re recording our first full length in a couple weeks, and hopefully will have copies out shortly after on our record label: Better Half Records.

Awesome.

Then, we’ll be going back into the studio shortly after to record a couple more songs for a split 7″ with San Jose’s the Pillowfights on Silver Sprocket Records.

Double Awesome.
