hey! here is a video that our bffz at scream queens radio took of us playing at 105 pioneer a few weeks ago — this song is called person place or thing. if you go to their youtube channel, you can see the rest of the set! most of the songs we played are the ones that we are just about to release on a split tape with bitpart.

you can learn more about scream queens radio at http://screamqueensradio.tumblr.com/ — their show is on every wednesday night!

BATTLE/SHOW

sup. we’re playing this show in san jose on sunday. we’re battling with sourpatch, which is the best band ever so we’re obviously going to lose, but we have a trick up our sleeve so at least it will be interesting. but seriously this is going to be a fun show. after this we’re not playing any shows for a while so we’re going to write a bunch of new songs. our other new songs should be arriving in cassette form in the next week or two for our split with bitpart. eventually we’ll put those songs on bandcamp or something.

RECORDING

On tues we recorded 8 new songs at the Atomic Garden Studios with Jack Shirley. It was insanely fun and although there are pictures — some crucial shots were left out. These subjects included but are not limited to: Rocky the wonder dog, Jack’s insane recording desk, our live room set up, the two inch tape machine, vegan cashew based coffee chocolate chip ice-cream, the loads of feral cats outside the studio, and the post recording garden fresh party.
