This makes us all very sad.

DAYUM SON WHERE YO WALLET AT / CMON ALBY

2009-01-04T17:22:00.000-08:00

Jonathan got his wallet STOLEN at vanishing point yesterday! Some slippery little shit took it upon itself to mosey on over to J's jacket and yoink his wallet.
BUT
the guy must have been pretty drunk.. or maybe stupid.. because he scattered a good portion of the contents on the street and train tracks nearby. We managed to find no money, but his 10th grade ID, some business cards, his school metrocard, his actual wallet, and a bunch of other stuff.

HOWEVER,
HE IS STILL MISSING HIS LEARNER'S PERMIT.

IF YOU SEE A LEARNER'S PERMIT WITH HIS NAME ON IT NEAR VPOINT, PLEASE, PLEASE LET US KNOW

Ok awesome.
Expect Kablooie in feb.
FUCK.

MOO!

Some dude told us we sounded like Radiohead. ALSO, we're like 3x better since I last posted.

AWESOME!

Album Update

2008-09-09T14:08:00.000-07:00

Kablooie (Here Comes the Fun) will be due out for release around mid-November. This will give us time to finish polishing the tracks, maybe add 1 or 2 more, and have copies.
We're also planning an album release party with No One and the Somebodies, Starscream and a small possibility of Snuffy (without Ben, or with someone else).
We have new stuff.

We all know you'd LOVE to submit something. The only requirements are that it should be on a square template. 4x4, 10829x10829, whatever. As long as it's square.

There's no deadline, but there's also (concurrently) no time like the present, soo GET TO WORK.

Silent Barn show recap.

2008-06-15T00:04:00.001-07:00

Well, the rain was the catalyst here, but the fact that Silent Barn is in the middle of nowhere probably didn't help either. No one really showed. We played to about 10 people we didn't know, but we made a name for ourselves. Tyger Beat liked us. It was fun anyway, and we needed the practice.
