Epicenter Cafe - Saturday, May 29

We're playing a show on Saturday, May 29 at Epicenter Cafe (not The Epicenter Zone, though it would be funny if we broke in and played a show there). It's South of Market, on Harrison between 3rd and 4th (next to the Whole Foods). Show starts at 7PM and we're playing first so show up on time, seriously. There is no cover but donations for the touring band would be great.

Palace of Buddies is playing second, they're from Salt Lake City and you should check out their sound.

Daikon is playing last, they're from San Francisco and if you click on that link you will find their record that you can and should download for free because it's pretty great. I listen to it all the time.

Maximum Rock 'n Review

So this is a review of "The Barefoot Feel" cassette that is in the new issue of Maximum Rock 'n Roll (#325, June 2010). Funny story is that I went in to drop it off and I asked who did demo reviews beside Robert, the answer "mostly hardcore dudes". So I stuck the note on there thinking it was pretty funny. I'm pretty sure Robert gets more hardcore points for taking it anyway.

I also happen to like hardcore A LOT and cassette tapes and if you do to, you should check out Robert's cassette tape blog Terminal Escape. He's got some great stuff on there. He's also in a bunch of great bands and if you can find the OPT OUT demo, I highly recommend it.

The Barefoot Feel - New Tape

We have a new tape. They're done and I have them now if you would like to get in touch or you can download it for free if you want it for digital listening (see above or to the right for our bandcamp page). It comes with a lyrics sheet this time (either in the tape case or as a JPEG file if you download the whole thing) and a bunch of photos of us in wacky poses wearing fashionable clothing, well maybe not that.

There are also still a couple copies of the old tape left (and CD as well) or once again it is still available to be downloaded for free.

New Songs

Well, I Do Lots of Things.mp3

Hi, take a listen to a digitally inferior version of this new song that will be the first song on our new cassette that will be ready soon, very soon. I'm just waiting to get it mastered but it should be either three or four new songs that were recorded at the end of January. The cassette is currently titled "The Barefoot Feel" and this might be what the artwork looks like, but we'll see. Feel free to express your opinion.

Maximum Review

Here's a review of our demo that is in Issue #321 (February 2010) of Maximum RockNRoll. Not a rave review but totally fair in my opinion (I also happen to know that Robert likes his music a little faster, a little heavier and a little crustier). Just thought I'd share it.

The Cruz, Part III: It's On, Again

Friday night, Santa Cruz, it's on again, at Coaster's. We're playing first, at 9pm. Kicked In plays second, followed by the Intergalactic Smugglers. Should be lots of fun.

Unfortunately we are a week late for the Giant Dipper, damn you winter.

The Knockout - It's Like A San Luis Obispo Area Reunion

This Monday (the 7th of December) we're playing a show at The Knockout and it's like a crazy San Luis reunion. The show starts at 8ish and it's $5. Now I know that San Luis is most famous for The Madonna Inn and maybe as the college town of Weird Al, John Madden and maybe even Ozzie Smith, but it was also home to lots of cool people that quickly left as soon as they got old enough.

The line-up should go as follows:

Bob and Carver will be playing records before the bands and maybe between bands and after. Now I know that Bob is not from San Luis but he did go to Cal Poly and I believe the same goes for Carver.

We're the first band and we also have the only member who really has no connection to the Central Coast (Brandt lived there in his van for a couple weeks but quickly moved), but both Jeremy and I have the distinction have having grown up there and attending San Luis Obispo High Shool.

Bad Assets is playing second and they currently reside in the area and I'm pretty sure that Joe and John Mac grew up in the Arroyo Grande area because my Suckerpunch 10" and split 8" flexi both say so.

Grand Lake plays last and I think that all three members grew up in the area. I know that Caleb and Jameson both did because I recall having seen them both play a show in the back room at Spike's when they were in a band called The Bloody Heads.

So come join our reunion show. I'm not going to promise fun but I'll bet on it.
