A NEW YEAR, NEW THINGS

FELLOW HUMANS!

The END is NIGH

Tomorrow night at O'Briens, we're ringing in the new year with Earthquake Party, New Highway Hymnal, and a DJ set by Liz Pelly.

Expect surprises.  Expect dancing.  Expect cosmic afterbirth.

Show starts at 9pm.  Here is a fancy Facebook thing.

And on ANOTHER note, we are on Facebook for the third (until we get kicked off again) time.

MAD MAX USA in Allston this Saturday

This crazy ol' country just keeps getting more nutty! Poor Alabamans with no access to fresh water? Tourist "chokeslammed" by cops for dancing in the Jefferson Memorial? How about this doozy: authorities will soon be given the right to break into your home and detain you indefinitely without charge or trial!

Anyways, Constitution, Schmonstitution. That ol' rag - let's just toss the whole deal and settle into MAD MAX USA on Highgate St this Saturday night. We'll sharpen our knives, we'll tan our leathers, we'll go hogwild dancing to the tunes of  The Connection , us (duh), and one more TBA! 

For as long as our amps get power, let's stick it to this shit show, k?

In other news, local punk/metal purveyors Thrash n' Bang published a review of Volume 1 and 2. A review so kind, in fact, I have doubts about its legitimacy. Kidding. We love you dudes. We just need to learn how to love ourselves. 

Two shows this weekend

I've been gearing up to play a show in Worchester since my early days as a teenage punk rat. I'd ride out of Connecticut with anyone old enough to have a license and head east to the Palladium. I'd swoon over the most important bands of my 14-year-old world: The Dedication, There Were Wires, Motorhead, whatever. I'd flirt with guys waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too old for me. I'd mosh and get my head stepped on. It was exciting, uncomfortable, sweaty, stimulating, lusty, naive, and the best thing ever. 

So you can imagine how pumped I am to finally play this "metropolis" of my younger years. It's at an awesome venue, it's with really cool bands, and it's gonna be rowdy. 

Friday December 2nd at Ralph's Diner with The Jitters Radio Control Cooling Towers 

RSVP 

But wait, there's more! In another first for us, we're playing Precinct this Saturday. Union Square is really killing it these days, so make it down.
