SF Show with Police Teeth 02/18/2012
Our first show of 2012 and it’s a Monster!
Beyond stoked to be hosting the incredible POLICE TEETH from Seattle in little ol’ San Francisco.
And to have this show be the record release of the excellent REPEAT AFTER ME.
Victory and Associates at the Latest Flame Records Showcase at SXSW
V and A is proud to announce our involvement at Latest Flame Records showcase at SXSW 2012!
Latest Flame is not only ran by a great, great guy, but they’ve put out some of the most consistently awesome records of the past few years. Such as Police Teeth, Ifihadahifi, etc.
We’re totally honored to playing this and super duper stoked to play with: Nervous Curtains (Sean from the Paperchase’s new band, Dallas, TX), Trophy Wives (Louisville, KY), System and Station (Portland, OR) and The Blind Shake (Minneapolis, MN) and more.
To say this is going to be badass is a mild understatement, we are beyond honored to have been asked to be part of a fantastic bill, and we cannot wait to rock with such worthy awesomes. We’ll be trying to book some more shows around that time, so if you have any ideas drop up us a line. It’ll be our first time in Texas and SXSW, cool.

Victory and Associates
Rock. plain and simple.
“Victory And Associates are most effectively categorized as exactly one-third punk, one-third rock’n'roll, and one-third garage rock. They have the vibrant and buzzing production of a garage rock band, a persistently peeking love for groovy and swirling riffs, and the occasional big time sing along that recalls many a small punk band I’ve encountered over the years. ”
These Things are Facts is the record. You will hear songs from that as well as some new ones.
RIYL: Future of the Left, The Thermals, Torche, the Night Marchers

Neutron lived through another year. Let’s celebrate by poking him with sharp sticks… I mean… going to a fun rock show! There will be fun surprises and things too… awesome.
These Things are Facts listening party at Turntable.fm
So there’s this new thing called Turntable.fm, perhaps you’ve heard of it? If not, you can school yourself here.
Basically, it’s a room full of people listening to music together and it’s a lot of fun.
You can find out more by looking at that link earlier on.
How does that relate to you?
Well! We are going to be holding a listening party for our new record: These Things Are Facts there.
What will that entail?
We will play every song from THESE THINGS ARE FACTS in order, and then… well… then we’ll probably just play songs from bands we love and make it a big ol’ online nerd party.
What will it be?
Monday, July 25th at 7PM PST/10PM EST

Exeunt Paulie “Wildcard” Miller
It was with a heavy heart that Victory and Associates will be saying goodbye to Paulie “Wildcard” Miller.
It’s been an incredibly great year with Victory and Associates, from the tours all the way down to the Motel 6 snugglefests. Sadly, I will be departing after our next show to carve out time to front my own band again (plus, I still have that drumming gig). Come down to the Hemlock this Saturday and send me off to a great farewell from guitar duties back into the world of frontmen. See you then!
-Paulie.
Thank you for all of your epic rokkin’ Paulie and best of luck in all you do.
With any luck there will be one more recorded Paulie appearance with the Not Returning/This Year 7″. Victory and Associates shall continue on and for the immediate future Conan will be back on guitar live.
About
Victory and Associates write rock anthems that you didn’t know you needed. Take the parts of huge classic rock you may actually WANT to turn up, mix it with the parts of indie rock that ROCK, funnel it through post-punk sensibility with driving, energetic force and you are on the trail to victory… and associates. This is the sound of giving a high five, this is the sound of being alive. Victory and Associates have been around the block, know their way around a good song and endeavor to deliver something exciting to both musician and non-musician alike. These things are FACTS.
You can’t stop the signal, you can’t stop the noise.
