04.28.08 Two Shows, Several Songs

We've been working hard on a slew of songs for the forthcoming album, and we have about ten in the bag. The first of these songs will be premiered this coming weekend at the matinee with Set To Explode and a host of other great bands. Set To Explode are good friends of ours and veterans of several local bands, and we wish them all the best with their future endeavors- musical and otherwise. In June we'll be playing with The Pietasters and a re-united Spitfires United. This one is guaranteed to sell out, so we encourage you to GET YOUR TICKETS NOW. We will have some new merch for this and we'll be premiering yet another brand new song for the occasion. See you soon.

11.28.07 It's Been A While

Well, it seems that it's been almost a year since we updated our news. It has been a good one, with the release of our Split EP with The Barons and a slew of out-of-town shows. We're playing up in Philly next month before Christmas, as well. At present we are writing songs for our new album which should be out sometime in late 2008. More updates will come as news becomes available. Thanks to all of our fans and friends who have made it out to see us or picked up merch, and we'll see you soon.

12.09.06 Winter, New Recordings

Thanks to everyone who's come out to see us over the past six months. We had a busy summer/fall, but it's been a good time. We finally got around to updating the site a bit, including posting a number of reviews on the main page. We've finshed mixing and mastering three brand new recordings to be featured on the "East Coast Street Rock" split CD-EP that Neck Records is putting out with our friends The Barons from up in Delaware. That disc should be out next month. In other news, we have a new shirt design available at shows and we are awaiting the arrival of hooded sweatshirts with yet another new design. All new merch will be available at our Black Cat show right after X-Mas with old pals VPR and Pessimist Parade. Come out and blow off some Holiday steam. Until next year...

06.26.06 Summer shows and more

Its been a few months. First off, the CD Release Show was amazing. Sold out, great crowd, great bands, great friends. Thank you, DC. Since then we've been all over the place, and the shows have all been fun. Thanks to Delaware, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania for showing us a good time. In other news, the album is picking up a bit of steam and we've done some interviews and all that. One of these interviews was with the Washington Post Express and can be viewed HERE. Transcripts of the other interviews, along with some reviews will be online shortly. This weekend we have a big show at the 9:30 Club in DC opening up for the Daycare Swindlers Reunion.

It's been a good few months for us. Many thanks go out to all the kids from DC we've been seeing out and to the guys down in North Carolina as well as the other bands that played the Port City Hooligan Fest. We've been busy finalizing everything with the album art and planning some more out of town dates for the Summer. We will be doing a mini-tour in late July including dates in Boston, New York, Philly and more- stay tuned for more updates. Also, Club U-Turn has now re-opened its doors and we were privileged to play their second show back with our friends In My Way, Porchmob, and the Raging Whoremoans.

Some of you in the Washington Metropolitan Area may have heard us this past week on 106.7FM, during the Ron and Fez Show. We appreciate those who called in to voice their appreciation for the tracks played. The show this past weekend was another great one, despite a rocky start. A huge THANKS goes out to everybody for not only sticking around, but for going nuts and singing along through the whole set to boot. We are also now one of the many bands up on Mohawk Radio. Check out their streaming audio anytime you have to spend a moment or two bullshitting around online. Next show is the 18th at the Maid: 5PM, 5 Bones, the usual. See you there.

The show at WMUC was a lot of fun, and we appreciate all who came out, bought merch, and sang along. Big shout-out to PC Death Squad, who played a GREAT set and had us rolling with their on-stage antics. We were unable to make it over to the Electric Maid show afterwards, but we want to wish a very happy belated birthday to Flora, who continues to support the band and promote us wherever she goes. Much thanks. We will be playing at DC-9 on the 30th with our friends The Twats as well as some awesome bands from North Carolina- No Labels Fit and The Human Soundtrack.
