We are very excited to have been reviewed on Okay Player’s website.  (Check it out!) There is also another nice review here on Can’t Stop Fanatics.

So, the album is out. If you haven’t purchased it please do so immediately or else (draws sword)……

You can get it on Itunes or you can come to one of our shows or just hit us up.

We are now working on putting together a tour for early fall of this year so if you would like to see us in your town or if your band is interested in trading a show with us hit Ryan up (simply click the tab titled “booking”).

BIG THANKS TO ALL WHO CAME TO THE CD RELEASE SHOW
particularly those who have been with us from the beginning. We should have some pics to post soon. Special thanks to Grand Buffet and J.Roddy Walston and The Business for performing and delivering an amazing show to the beautiful people. We’re back at The Ottobar on Friday June 13 with our good friends Gary B. and The Notions, The Egg Babies and Skwaaks. It will be a great show. Guaranteed. Until next time, Support local music, love life, and uh, do whatever it is that you do best.

Today, April 22nd, the Soul Cannon album is live on iTunes. Very exciting. Thanks, iTunes.

However, I have a beef. It’s about censorship. I understand that iTunes needs to let its customers know which albums contain explicit lyrics (ours contains none). I understand that young children may go on iTunes and look at the titles of songs and albums. I don’t understand why the word “Intercourse” (as in our song, “Verbal Intercourse”) needs to be censored. Who is responsible for this? News flash: Verbal Intercourse means to have a conversation. On iTunes it looks like this: “Verbal I*********e.” Since when is this an obscenity?

From Random House unabridged dictionary:

Intercourse: (n)

1. Dealings or communication between individual groups, countries, etc.

2. Interchange of thoughts or feelings

3. Sexual relations or a sexual coupling.

Lots of love to Jeff, MC Homeless, Victims of Public Education, Courtney and Leanne and everybody else that made that show awesome for us. We had a great time playing to a great crowd.

A scene that seems to play out more and more often, the longer we play together: one guy walks away from some random idiocy.

Next morning, after a brief panic over Eze’s misplaced chocolate (dude loves his chocolate), we were off to an afternoon show at University of Richmond. The school has an annual event called Pig Roast, or Festivus, depending on who you ask. The houses on Frat Row all open their doors, and tap kegs, at the same time. We were hosted by FIJI and the girls of Delta Gamma. Moments before we played, Matt may or may not have vomited blood into the bushes outside the frat house. Well, he definitely vomited into the bushes, but the blood part may have actually been hawaiian punch. I wish we had a picture of Nathan after the show. He was soaked. I think he worked harder for that show than any we’ve ever played. Afterwards, we hung out in the parking lot for a couple hours giving away CD’s, tees, buttons, and sharing Radish Sprouts with passers by. Jon had been growing the sprouts for several days, finally they turned green sitting on his dashboard in the parking lot while we played. Most of you probably don’t know this, but it turns out Ryan has the ability to spit a radish sprout out of his mouth through the gap between his two front teeth, shooting straight into your mouth through the gap between your two front teeth. Simply amazing.

Pig Roast is the biggest event UR has each year. People were looking pretty snazzy, so we decided to seize some prime photo ops.

When was the last time you saw a guy rocking Reebok Pumps? This guy is standing in front of the bamboo fence at FIJI, and he’s holding a couple of the bamboo cups they were using to serve drinks. That fence was put up the previous night. Pumping was fun.

This isn’t a joke. He’s actually Austrian. Matt’s here, gawking at one of the many people that were in a seemingly endless flow across the parking lot.

That’s the album title. It’s coming out April 22nd. It will be available by just about any means you can imagine, thanks to our distributor, Morphius Records

We have an amazing jacket design, as well as some new stickers, shirts, and the release show flyer, all created, with love, by Mike McNeive.

Here’s what’s happening. We recorded everything at Lord Baltimore Recordings with Adam Cooke. We’ll have a final mix in a little over a week, and then it’s off for mastering.
Mike McNeive is working on the art at this very moment.

The release show is Friday, April 25th at The Ottobar, and we’re totally psyched to have our amazing friends J-Roddy Walston and The Business on the bill with us.

Everybody tell your everybody and get ready. It’s gonna be DYNAMITE!

Thats right!! We’ve booked a last minute show in NYC to play at Pianos in the LES,with J-Roddy Walston and the Business!! Come on out and yell at us while we rock off all your different parts. Monday, 1/21/08.

Here’s the first real posting on our new website.

On Friday, January 11, 2008 we played Baltimore’s legendary Ottobar for the first time. There were around 300 in the audience. Our music page has a few songs from the show. Also, read this blog review from Chris Walbert.
