We're not what you would call.. Dedicated, hardworking, productive people. There's a rough cut of the full instrumentation for Regards from Berlin here.

We have administered two drummer tests. A James and a Jarrod, each completing the J-name scheme admirably, which is PARAMOUNT! Jarrod being the more skilled and experienced, fluent in a multitude of styles and actually prefers to be told what to do. We are confounded.

Had to cancel our.. second show ever, due to illness, but, there were other hiccups and bad omens about the night, but we still hate to do it.

Otherwise, life ambles on - beers are ingested, birthdays celebrated, nothing in particular is celebrated, friends and aquaintences play their songs and are held in high esteem, gas is consumed, outrage is feigned and lighters are lost as we hole up in popular entertainment, coffee and foreign food. It's not a noble life, just readily available.

Diligent work continues. Still working on guitar 1; perfection is a pipe dream clogged with practicality and the limits of time and ability and basic equipment.

Next outting: May 9 - Red Salamander (902 E. Saginaw, Grand Ledge) 11:00am - 9:00pm. This will be outdoors. We're rumored to be playing around 4/5. $7 for an all day pass. Proceeds go to a skate park project for the peoples of Grand Ledge.

I love playing outside, and the opportunity to do so comes around far too infrequently.

Man your television sets and know that smoking and programming are your future; it's gonna kill you; have you learned nothing from the RBGCRTTV?

Existing only on myspace in the interweb is a horrible way to live, so this website is back. We're still a band. We're still working on our record. Diligently, now, though. Drums: done, Bass: all but done. Guitar 1: barely started.

Our next show is at Oades in Lansing on April the 18th. Narc Out the Reds and M K Ultra Culkin also perform.

There isn't much up in the way of content, but the audio section has a free download of our six song "quit calling it an EP, it's a demo, damnit" from back in '06, when shit was not quite so fucked as it is here in '09, but surely was getting there. There are a few other demos and songs of interest there as well, all available as old-school straight to your computer DRM-free .mp3 downloads like you just don't see anymore, what with kids these days and technology.

Still to come: Pictures of us bravely burdened with guitars and abusing drums, photography, back log of show posters and anything else we deem worth looking at or listening to.

Also, I still make websites in a turn-of-the-centruy fashion. My CSS is going to suck, but maybe not as bad as the typography in the title bar up there. Try not to let it make you seize and die.
