I believe the appropriate reaction is: “fuckin’ A.”

Much love to our brothers in the Bismarck and thanks for a wonderful weekend of shows.

The Bismarck, Victory and Associates, Moon Eater at 924 Gilman!

Yup, ya heard.
We’re rocking 924 gilman st with some pretty great acts.
Moon Eater From Santa Cruz and the incredible… one and only The Bismarck! From Seattle, Washington. Please be aware and consider clearing your calendars accordingly. We’ve got some new songs for you, and the same old sassy attitude.

Also note SF date for the Bismarck with stone cold V&A bros, Hurry Up Shotgun and Philistines. Get into it folks!

The record is tentatively called “Screaming Outside the Airlock” and it is a concept record based on the disconnection from each other our modern world faces. Sounds like a party, right? Anyway, we’re going to be recording it with Mr. Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Tool, Hurry Up Shotgun, etc.) and we’re as pleased as can be about it.

For those of you that like lists of songs with little to no context in it:

We’ll Have To Be Our Own Heroes
Ignore Button
Everything’s Amazing (Nobody’s Happy)
Exasperated Inc.
For Serious
“Are We Having Fun Yet?”
The End of Memory
Taste the Danger

And a couple of others, we’re still working that out.
Anyway, we’re pleased as can be to be working with Latest Flame Records for this one. And rest assured there will be some touring. ok?
ok!
Until then we have a couple of bay area shows coming up, one at 924 Gilman with the Bismarck from Seattle. An Excellent, excellent band who we love quite a bit. And April 27th at the Hemlock with Qui (from LA) and Big Long Now. Also great acts! Rumor has it that we’ll be playing a house show too, but you’ll have to ask us after that one. And of course give the secret phrase.

Thanks gang!
-Conan, Evan, Mouse and Shane
