Newsflash!

2011-08-25T09:23:00.000-07:00

HI ALL 53 OF YOU. The last post was about our last show, and so is this one. A different last show.

We are playing a one-off gig at The Lexington on September 21st because our super friends TEETH are releasing their album WHATEVER. Fun! It's us and them and Gross Magic and some other guys.

Happy Finish

HEY BLOG, WHATCHU DOING?

We've been super slack. But we have some news!

Tonight is our last ever show. It's at The Macbeth in London, which I wish everyone could come to, but if you can't, just imagine it. If you can come, it is FREE, and there is free meat too.

So! What's happening now? We still have a couple of records for sale over here; there are about five of the You Only Like Me/Love Rules 7's left but we'll let you know if it's for sale anywhere.

There will probably be an exciting release from BEYOND THE GRAVE too, we'll let you know.

Finally: thanks to everyone that put us on; put us up; paid us; fed us; came to see us; played with us; bought anything; listened to anything; loved anything. GROUP HUG.

SOMETHING CORPORATE

2009-10-15T15:55:00.000-07:00

so, everybody. We quit our tour with The Slits yesterday... Personally, we don't believe in 'supporting' something that doesn't hold the values we thought it did. We really respect the band, however a couple of people made it impossible to carry on maintaining our integrity. We are so grateful to everyone who showed kindness and helped when they could. This has inspired us to keep doing what we want and works as an affirmation of what we believe in.

BIG LOVE AND RESPEC TO HOLLIE

TOUR TIME!

here's a song we recorded on Stef's phone. We have a lot of these, and i was thinking we could make a CDR out of them or something, or maybe not. Anyway, this one doesn't have a name so i just call it HATED

This dude's art makes me want to hang myself!

2009-04-17T01:19:00.000-07:00

some of it has a total Hopper vibe mixed with some David Heatley. He won the 2nd price in the comic-competition at the Luzerne Fumettofestival. fucking AWESOME, like, the best art i've seen in a while. We should all get down on our knees and beg to Lord Jesus to be as good as this mother fucker. check out his other shit here

it seems recently the only words on all the hip-lips have been BLINK 182. It SUX! why do people find fads in the strangest things? Like Blink are a joke or something? it's upsetting. they're being used to boost egos.

NOT MINE. I'll always be a fan no matter who likesem.

on a more jolly note lets look at this jokes boy and laugh at him like he did me.
