closing in

on the end.

there was a bit of a booking fiasco with our last show. it was supposed to be at the replay in lawrence with boo and boo too and norrit, but the 20th got double booked and we got bumped.

i sent a message to jeremy at the tap room about moving the show there, but haven't heard back. in the meantime, the replay is letting us stay on the show on the 20th since that's really our only option for a decent venue in lawrence this close to the date, but we have to open and we're not getting any door money, something about the contracts of the bands that bumped us.

but the bands playing that night are actually cool, so it'll probably still be a fun time, we're playing with the moaners and the spook lights. the show on the 19th at the brick should be really good, we're playing with witch and hare and the black tarantulas.

we met with crystal, a writer from the pitch, a few days ago and talked for a while. she's working on a piece about the end of the band and our last few shows. we needed a song to post with the article, so i remixed 'people are animals' for her to use.

it's here.

don't know if i should do this or not, since it's nowhere close to being done, but here's the rhythm tracks (drums, bass, rhythm guitars, main vocals) for a new song we recorded with gaurav last week. it still needs lots of noise guitars, background vocals, and more mixing, but it's getting close to sounding like almost being on the verge of somewhere close to done.

it's called troll.

baby birds is out on tour and just posted a live recording on their blog.

it's called 'are you going to the party at fuck mountain?'. go get it.

boo and boo too's new album No Tempo
is the best thing i've heard in a long time.
