"Yes.... a band.... yeah, just us two.... I know"





This week marks the release of our first record (first copywritten work of any kind ive ever been a part of) and all i can think is how much room our sleeping bags will take up on someone else's car camping spot for coachella (and if they will notice/report us). If i can make it, then some of the acts i'll be most excited for will include Ceu, the dead weather, mew, and the Specials ofcourse. Yet the one that is going to realize one of my wet Woodstock dreams is Sly Stone. Originally billed to include "the family", im curious to know if the others even knew about the gig until they saw the posters everwhere. Either way i'll take it... higher.
The other thing itching at me (although not with the same severity that of Sly's attendance record) is my concern for the immediate future of this band. With our first record having just been released, one big question lingers: who's going to play bass for us? Im not ready to ray manzerek this stuff no matter how much i'd like to think i could. Well, the offer stands.
And as if i haven't plugged our record enough in this first blog for a band who hasn't even yet gotten the chance to become defunct, the best place you can hear this music i speak of for free and/or buy it is currently http://vibraoptic73.bandcamp.com/ This bass playing position comes with a free burnt copy and a "gas prices suck cock" t-shirt! We need a percussionist too, so Hit us up.
And to everyone else, please DO NOT listen to the album by clicking on the link. And when you DON'T click on the link, definately, DONT click the download album or any particular tracks. and when you DONT do that, definately, DO NOT, i repeat, DO NOT whatsoever, name your own price of ten dollars or more with a smile on your face knowing that almost a half of a year went in to making this record for a couple people who did it 100 percent on their own. And only then, after you HAVENT done any of that... you better not enjoy it.

I will truly appreciate it. I cant curb my current addiction to the Shoki Shoki album by FEMI KUTI. I too had been wondering what tomorrow would bring for nigeria, that is, until i learned it was I.

With love,

Christopher
