Steel City USA
Playing in Granite City tonight. Our old friends DOT WAVE are back in action, and we're tearing it down at O'Connel's at Washington Ave and 24th. Two dollar door and the beer flows like wine!
Also, it's in the last 50 hours or so to pledge to our Kickstarter website in our pledge drive. We've been told by a family friend that if we can get it to $800, someone will take a loan out and pledge the other half. SO CLOSE! Go and pledge $5 if you want a CD, or a quick $10 if you want the SEAFOAM AND CORAL LP, of which 250 will be pressed.
SO CLOSE!
SEE YOU AT THE SHOW! IT'S ALSO A BIRTHDAY PARTY! THERE WILL BE A CLOWN AND A PETTING ZOO!

BEACH FEVER IS COMING
Can you feel it? In yer guts? All twisted up?
Target July for the CD. The LP won't happen in time for the September tour (too broke!), so it might not happen at all.
Plans for the release include a MEGACYBERRAFFLE from the year 3010 AD.
PRYZES!
BEACH FEVER CDS
BEST OF SUMMERSLAM 1992 VHS
STAR WARS TOYS
COMIC BOOKS
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE TOYS (maybe)
RECORDINGS FROM OUR OTHER PROJECTS
GIANT PAINTINGS
TAROT READINGS
and best of all
THE OFFICIAL TAM TAM THE SANDWICH MAN / THESE MAGNIFICENT TAPEWORMS SUMMER 2010 SKIM BOARD, a prestigious skim board marking the passage of the President's "DOLPHIN RAPE VAN" TOUR into effect in May of 2010.
More details to come, once we sober up and buy the raffle tickets.

That's a Wrap
Holy shit.
Alright, Atlanta was the party it always is. And then the next day, it was the traffic jam it always is. Highlight of the afternoon was hearing Teenage Illiterates practice, Jordan getting complimented on his Gravity Bong shirt and Dan on his Eat Pussy Not War shirt, both at Taco Bell. The music store we went to had supremely crucial Danelectros and synthesizers... not shit for basses though.
We took a leisurely afternoon drive through the backroads of Alabama (Central Time, hello again!) and got to Sheffield relatively early. IE, 9PM. We got told that the amount of free beer we get was in relation to the amount of beer people bought that night, and we concluded that we could drink our way into some kind of infinity feedback loop where the more we drink, the freer the beer became. Alex and Dan beat Carnevil 1 on a fistful of quarters and then set up some gear. The crowd got to a decent size and Tam Tam slaughtered it after us and then Ursa Locomodus REALLY slaughtered it. Getting Natural in the parking lot REALLY REALLY slaughtered it. And then the after party at the Satan's Youth Ministers house was a slaughterfest of epic proportions. We put Disco Worship on the CD Player and drank all the Natty, all the Busch, and almost, just almost all the Steel Reserve. When we woke up we partied our way into breakfast and then skipped town for Paducah.
The Tennessee leg of the drive was scenic and awesome. A pretty storm blew through, too. Then we hit the all ages coffee house in Paducah and were welcomed by a big crowd... at 7pm. Holy shit. Now I know why straightedge bands REALLY do it - early shows for more partying later, and lots and lots of jailbait. A punk band whose name I cannot recall opened things up - cute stuff. Kids being awesome kids. Then Tam Tam really won the crowd over. We blared it a little (as usual) and it thinned out a smidge, but people were definitely digging it. The clincher was when Alex went to jump on the old cabinet and his foot fell a little shy, resulting in a shit eatenence of the first degree. He wasn't hurt and would kept playing, except his guitar cable snapped off inside his axe. Wahn waaaaahhh. We all sold good merch (kids!) and decided to dash to Carbondale for a quick round at PKs.
We made it into town, blaring Stranglehold at max volume, right around 12:30, and went straight to Picks, and then to PKs. The Florida kids were disappointed that you couldn't smoke in the bar... sorry guys. So we skipped out after a round and made it to Lost Cross. The second we got there, Big Sex started playing. So Tam Tam got an eyeful of a packed Cross writhing around while Luke tackled people and punched lightbulbs in half. Then they saw Tanner puke off the porch and then people were swinging on the rope. The most perfect first two hours of Carbondale that some kids from Orlando can have. We went home and made a video of Nina building a grav before I (Dan, that is) skipped out for a sleep sesh. No idea what happened after I left, but I will say it took thirty minutes to be used to sleeping on a mattress again. After a little lazy time on Sunday, we gathered up for the preshow party. Vegan chili cookoff and records. Woot! Then to Lost Cross for the Free Weed show on the year. Uncle Skunkle brought amazing game, and Tam Tam stole the night. We killed it, but people will be talking about Tam Tam and Skunkle for weeks. Also, SUPER special thanks to the Belleville, Harrisburg, and Paducah people that convoyed in for the show. That meant SOOOOO much to us, me especially. The after party ground on for a while and then we all crashed out.
Memorial Day meant New Kahala and good bye to Tam Tam the Sandwich Man and the Magical Sugar Cookies. I was sad. If you missed their show, scope out their second (of three) EP for free download right here. You'll be glad.
Back to reality... until THURSDAY AT LOST CROSS!! WHAT WHAT!!!
THURSDAY
LOST CROSS
HEAD ON ELECTRIC
EINE KLEINE CHINMUZIK
THESE MAGNIFICENT TAPEWORMS
DRUNK COPS

One last thing, invented a new cocktail last night - equal parts grape soda and whiskey to create either DUDE WINE or BIG WINE, not sure yet.
