SF, we missed you

Has it really been three months since we played in San Francisco? Jeez. Well, fret not, my pets, because we'll return Tuesday, Aug. 12 to the city that never sleeps. Wait, that's a different city. The city where everyone smokes pot and you can't ever find a parking spot and liberal commies run everything? Is that San Francisco's catch phrase?

In any case, we're playing there for what might be the only time this month tomorrow night, at the Rockit Room in the Richmond district. We're headlining Tuesday night's installment of the International Pop Overthrow festival, a multi-city showcase with events in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Portland, Liverpool and more. It will be fun. We will make it so.

Tues., Aug. 12 @ 8 p.m.
International Pop Overthrow
feat. Farewell Typewriter, The Onlymen, The Clarences & more

All upcoming shows:

Two San Jose shows: 7/26 & 8/1

We're gracing San Jose with our presence twice in the next couple of weeks. The first of these shows is Sat., July 26 at the Britannia Arms Cupertino (technically in San Jose) and the second is Fri., Aug. 1 at South First Billiards.

We're headlining the Brit show, so we'll be on relatively late (midnight-ish) and quite possibly intoxicated. This could be interesting.

The Aug. 1 show is unique: local artist and friend-of-a-friend Lacey Bryant will be painting live while we play. Sounds strange and wonderful.

We shall return to San Francisco and other regions in August and beyond...

Saturday, July 26 @ 8:30 p.m.

End radio silence

Well, it's been quiet around here the last month or so. Between out-of-state gigs with other bands, Hawaiian vacations, and ankle/foot injuries, we didn't rehearse much in June, let alone play any shows. But now we're back in action with a few shows on the calendar that should pique your interest.

We're playing this Friday, July 11 at Red House in Walnut Creek with Phoenix Ash (it's their CD release). This show is all ages and relatively early – it starts at 7:30 p.m. and we'll go on around 9 p.m. We've got some tickets to pre-sell, so contact us at info at farewell typewriter dot you-know-what to get tickets. There will be a limited number of admissions at the door.

Friday, July 11 @ 7:30 p.m.
Red House
1667 Botelho Dr. (in the Palm Court Shopping Center near Petco)

Free all ages show at Stanford this Thursday, 5/29

Well, we didn't advance past the third round of the Emergenza Festival, but that's okay with us. Thanks to all of you who've come out to support us at these (and other) shows. Back to business now.

We're playing what we are 99 percent sure is is definitely a free, all-ages show this Thursday on the Stanford University campus. This should be a fun one because we'll get a little bit longer set than you may be used to and you can purchase and eat a crepe while we play.

Thursday, May 29 @ 8 p.m.
The Axe & Palm at Old Union

Stanford, CA 94305

Directions to the Old Union (adapted from this page):
Old Union is located across from the Stanford Bookstore and near Tressider (the student union). The best bet for parking is the Tresidder lot.
From Campus Drive East, turn onto Mayfield (The Row) toward campus.
If you're coming from Junipero-Serra/I-280, you want to turn left onto Mayfield and if you're coming from El Camino Real, then you should turn right.
Mayfield will make a left, and then take an immediate right onto Lagunita Drive.
Parking will be to your right, and Old Union is straight ahead through White Plaza.
