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.

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.

We need your vote this Sunday 5/18 in SF!

We're playing this Sunday at Rockit Room in SF. It's the third round of the international Emergenza Festival, and if we proceed beyond this round, we'll get to play at the illustrious and historic Great American Music Hall in June. This is the last audience-judged round, so in order to advance we'll need to be one of the two three bands (out of seven or eight) to receive the most votes by audience show of hand after our set.

The show starts at 8 p.m., but we play at 10:30 or so (parking can take some time and schedules change, so we recommend getting there early). Advance tickets are available from us for $10, so contact your favorite band member to save yourself $5 per ticket.

March sanity

We realize we haven't updated the site in a while, and we apologize for that. But frankly, we have more important things to do than update websites. Like, for example, rock people's faces off. But that's just one example. Here's some news-like tidbits:

1. Our next show is March 22 at the Britannia Arms Cupertino (which, oddly, is really in San Jose). We played here long ago, before Audie was in the band, and we think his presence will bring something special to the place. And by "something special," we mean "a tambourine." Show is 21+, $5, starts at 9 p.m. and we go on third.

2. We've made it onto the third round of the Emergenza Festival, a worldwide battle of the bands competition. Thanks to everyone who supported us during the first two rounds. If we advance after the next round (in May, date & time TBD), we'll get to play the local finals at the Great American Music Hall in June. That would be rad.

3. We've written, and are still writing, some new songs, some of which you'll hear at our shows, and which we hope to record sometime this year.

I'll leave you with this video of us from the first round of the Emergenza festival, in which Grant breaks a string at the beginning of the tune and switches guitars while singing the first verse. If nothing else, we're very good at covering our asses.
