THE LATEST

we recently did a podcast with GigMaven where among other things, we discussed the loft party where the cello died and half the band was bleeding from unrelated incidents during our set. GigMaven.com is a cool website for any musicians looking to book gigs around the country.

we also just got back from playing some fun shows in connecticut, which involved roadies/band-aids, a stage the size of warped tour, eating rotisserie chicken at a goodwill parking lot, and enormous beer towers on stage.

come join the fun with us this saturday at MERCURY LOUNGE for a great night of music (9:30pm, houston and ave A) - we've got new songs!, and cool bands are on the bill (ravens & chimes, xylos). i'll be giving out free hugs to all. your presence will help us book bowery ballroom in may, so stop by and make us famous! followed by afterparty at home sweet home into the wee hours.

BAND OF THE MONTH & MEET THE BAND PART UNO

Much love to everyone that voted – we’re officially Deli Magazine’s BAND OF THE MONTH which means, we’re famous! Just kidding – but we’re super excited about the free shit which will lead to new music for you all!

Tomorrow we embark on our roadtrip to the faraway state known as Connect-icut. As usual, we’re converging on Stamford in six different ways. We’re not really sure what’s going to happen this weekend or if we’re going to make it back alive from UConn.

Our first installment of “Meet the Band” will be Nick Dalton, bass/harmonica player. He drew our album cover and does all sorts of stuff in the art scene. I think the best descriptions may be from his own words, all the below which have been taken from the signature of his emails:

- Nicky Whizzleteats
- Nick "Pretty Panties" Dalton
- Signing Off, Old Whizzled Snowbeard III, Esq.
- With Undying Love, Nicholaus of Tomorrowtown
- Signed, Eternally Yours and Forever Greatfully Indebted to Your Solemn Grace, Sir Nicholaus of the Unruly Beard
- The Late and Infrequent, Nicholaus "Touch my boat and I'll cut yor arm off" Dalton
- Your Guiding Light in these uncertain Gloom-Doom Times, Sir Nicholaus Alfred Dalton the Last
- Bearded Brother Number Two, Sir Nicholaus Du Glorytown
- Love and Praise The Great Beard, Nicholaus the Red
- The Old Bearded Whizzleteet of the Great White North, Nicholaus Alfred Dalton of the Brooking's Institution, Ltd.
- Old Whizzle McBeardskins
- Love Always and Forever, Your Redbeard of Perpetual Grace

RA RA RIOT WITH BALLS
