THESE THINGS ARE FACTS! – Help us make it.
If you were thinking about helping out with this and securing yourself a pre-order of our upcoming record, now would be the time to do it!
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.

Release show for The Victory and Associates/Hurry Up Shotgun split 7″Turn Down the Guitars/Paths
And all kinds of other awesomeness.
Turn Down The Guitars!
V&A are proud to present a joint offering with the excellent Hurry Up Shotgun.
Turn Down the Guitars/Paths
Our song, Turn Down the Guitars is a clever self aware take on the often ridiculous and confrontational relationship between a band and a sound person, and dare I (Neutron) say it? The finest Victory and Associates song yet.
It is backed with the excellent Hurry Up Shotgun song Paths.
This is available for IMMEDIATE download in high quality MP3, AAC, wav, FLAC, Ogg or any format that you like, as well as free listening at that same link, or on this site.
Also, you may also pre-order the limited edition lathe cut clear vinyl 7″ by Single Piece Slate, first printing only consists of 100, so do not delay!
Physical music product is a collector’s market now, and we in Victory and Associates have embraced that completely.
If for some reason you wish to purchase downloads (hahah!), you may do so at the iTunes music store in several weeks.
Thanks! And please enjoy our lastest offering and spread the word,

Everything’s Coming Up Victorious (or affiliated with it)
GREETINGS INTERNETS!
There’s all kinds of fantastic things going on and we’re incredibly excited to tell you about it.
First off, Party Savior/Thousandaire is still available for free legal download (any format you like), and for $5 on beautiful gold vinyl. We really busted ass to make this as great as possible and we are not disappointed.
We also have stickers back in stock, that’s that same logo you see on the top of the webpage.
They were so popular we actually ran out. Wow! Awesome. If you want one you can pick one up at a show or e-mail Conan at conan at neutron-x dot com. We will send one (or a few) to you.
We are currently working on some new songs that we are very excited about.
“Here Goes Everything”, “Also Rans, Has Beens, and Never Was”, “Funundrum”, “Prestigious Blog”, “Get Into It”, “Bulletproof Tiger” and “Taste the Danger” are all strong demos that we will be woodshedding and trying to turn into kick ass Victory and Associates songs on the level of “You Can’t Stop the Signal” “Thousandaire” and “Turn Down the Guitars”. Although you cannot hear how awesome these songs are, let me assure you, they are awesome.
And speaking of Turning Down the Guitars…
Basic tracking for Turn Down the Guitars, our side of the split 7″ with the excellent band Hurry Up Shotgun are complete. We mix it and send it out for mastering next week, with release scheduled for mid-October. The fabulous Ms. Laura Dean will be mixing this at the ever awesome Tiny Telephone in San Francisco, and the fine folks at Single Piece Slate will be pressing the limited run of hand numbered 100 handcut clear vinyl records. As if that isn’t enough, the incredible Dale Flattum from Steel Pole Bathtub and Milk Cult fame will be doing the artwork. There is no way this is not an epic win.
We’re very excited for this release and promise to keep you up to date whenever possible.
Speaking of up to date, did you know Victory and Associates has a twitter account?
Well we do! Please follow @VictoryAndAssoc and we’ll promise to use it, I (Neutron) even promise to make a Twitter update if we pass 50 followers. DARE TO DREAM!
Oh yeah, and PLEASE send people here and not myspace.
Really, we’re considering deleting myspace because people treat that shameful thing like our real website.
ugh.
Oh yeah, if you haven’t noticed we’re playing a set of shows in the midwest in October. We are pleased as can be to be invited to play the PRF BBQ in Chicago at Quenchers and look forward to seeing some old friends and making lots of new ones. We are also VERY pleased to be playing the Cactus Club in Milwaukee with our friends Ifihadahifi, opening the show with Oh My God and The New Loud. Since this will be Evan’s first show in MKE as a bay area resident it is going to be doubly amazing.
In any case, more news soon, including some local shows.
Party Savior/Thousandaire 7″ preorders available now!
Party Savior/Thousandaire $5, double A side single is available for preorder just go to: http://victoryandassociates.bandcamp.com/
We’re still counting the nickels and dimes required to finish the pressing of our debut 7″. It’s not easy, because we have a badass Stumptown letterpress jacket designed by Rachel Carns and we are having them made on GOLD colored vinyl. Current estimation is that we’ll have them in hand for our show in mid-June, the harsh banality of daily life fueling the ever fleeting moments when we get to really do what we want.
It already has a cool review by Built on a Weak Spot:
…however Victory and Associates takes the fun loving/good time party rock vibe even further and has come out as the purest effort yet. It sort of reminds me of a RFTC at times, obviously minus the horn section, however the energy and anthemic qualities are all there that makes this debut 7-inch from the band a fun time.
It’s just $5, and the preorders help us immensely in both covering costs to get this out and doing other awesome things.
If you’d like to order a copy of this awesome release and simultaneously help us out: just go to: http://victoryandassociates.bandcamp.com/ to order.
Thanks!
Victory and Associates – Lies, and the Lying Liars That Sell Them
Here is the song that we contributed to Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence, a 13 band rock compilation designed to culture jam Karl Rove‘s book.
It’s a fantastic comp that you can download for free here, as well as purchase a vinyl copy. If you’d like to help with the culture jamming, please repost, favorite, uprate and comment this “video” here too.
Thanks!

We know, we don’t go there anymore either.
Also, our track for the Karl Rove: Courage and Consequence compilation is up and available to listen there as well. It’s something of a barn burner and we are very proud of it.
NW tour is still shaping up, that’s about it for now!
