Bonus Tapeworms!
Hey everybody, as long as Alex makes it back to town in time, we're going to be opening for Sprickets and Dikes of Holland (from Austin, Texas) tonight at PK's. The show is free, the beer is cheap, and we'll see you there!

Upcoming & Postal
Hey everyone. The LP formally dropped last week at a boisterous PK's show. We made sure to break all of our equipment either before the show or throughout the show, most notably the PA while Angel Sluts were playing. Sorry guys! Kangaroo Rats warmed things up at the Lando Calrissian Lounge while we ate burgers and Leonard hit on my eighteen year old cousin. And Uncle Skunkle from Paducah / Murfreesboro went on first at PK's, giving the best, most lively opener I've seen there in maybe ever. We closed it out with a rowdy set, but due to the muffled fucked up microphone, we couldn't give as many props to the record itself as we wanted too. So we only sold a few. Sad face.
We're still paying them off, and we got a good distance to go before we're earning on it, so if you can spare us the money, please buy a record! We're asking for $12 if you can spare it, or $10 if you don't cater to charity. Remember, it's two colors, has a full color inner sleeve, and was pressed in the limited amount of 250, and never to be repressed. When you buy it, it comes with a delightful CD-R, or a promise of emails of MP3s. There's less than 200 left, and I think there will be less than 125 at the end of October, given the number of people who have expressed interest and are waiting for paychecks. There are fancy CDs of the album, for those less interested in vinyl. There's about 120 of those still kicking. And maybe 25 shirts. Damn!
Everyone who pre-ordered, we don't want to short shaft you, but we're trying to pull together the money for shipping. Yes, you paid that already, but the band credit card (mine) is pretty much maxed out and we're waiting on a few more dollars of merch before we head over to the post office. Just hang in a little longer.

Nightlife Review!
Hey all, chew on this while I type up the last bits of tour for your consumption. Please note that while they credited me (Dan) with most of the quotes, it's only because we sent them some info from my email address. Technically, Joseph typed a lot of the data they used, although it represented all of our voices. Anyway, chow down on that, check back later for an update with that tour data, and see you THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 30 for the BEACH FEVER LP RELEASE! We'll have more data on that quite soon!

Show Update!
Hey Ohio, updates for you kids. Tomorrow, instead of Cincinnati, we'll be playing in Athens, Ohio, at Casa Nueva. The show at May Day just wouldn't work out, but the gentleman Chris of Whale Zombie agreed to put us up at a moments notice. We'll also be playing with Zapano and VALLEYBOYS. Thank you so much to the kind people of Athens for helping us out in a pinch!
Go to Howler's Peyote Cafe in Pittburgh tonight to see us rip it up. Do it!

Record of the Week
On the this list of ten records worth a damn this week, we're number four. Wow.
Today started good and went south. Dan got early afternoon tacos with the Turbo Fruits which bled into mostly beating rush hour out of New York City became a horrific pileup on Interstate 80 just inside Pennsylvania wherein we crawled about a mile in two hours. Then we got to an exit and went on I-80 eastbound to get to local highway 611 and navigate around the bullshit. But guess what! The ramp was closed for resurfacing. So we went back into New Jersey, losing two hours of 'progress', and hunted for the next bridge in Pennsylvania, which was a forty miles of country road and uncertainty, because Dan's dumb ass left our best friend, the 2010 Road Atlas, in Brooklyn. That's right, no GPS for us, and now we've got to do the rest of this tour without even an atlas to our name until we can get one cheap at Big Lots or something. Anyway, we detoured around to I-84 and our four hour, twenty minute drive clocked in around eleven. Good thing this was an off day, or shit would've been scrubbed.
We're exhausted. Crashing with Houseasaurus again. Goodnight.

Brooklyn Agyn
Alex is right, the show fucking ruled. There were seriously like 100 or 120 people there. We sold our first ever LP at a show, and a couple of them at that.
Tonight we played at Cousin Larry's in Danbury. Pretty swinging music dive with shit tons of killer posters on the wall. Despite it being a Sunday, we expected a few people to show up since the promoter seemed diligent. But it didn't pan out. At least Telethon was there (by the way, they killed their fucking set like champs). And we got a free live recording out of it and sold another record.
We decided to cruise into NYC since it was only like 1:30 in the morning and fuck rush hour traffic. It was an easy drive. I'm totally getting the hang of driving in NYC.
Also, I'd like to nominate the two best night drives in New York to be the Jackie Robinson Parkway and Mill River Parkway to the Henry Hudson Bridge. Just sayin.
If you're in New York, there's no excuse not to go to Trash Bar in Brooklyn to see us play at 8pm sharp, followed by like four other bands. During our set, there's fucking FREE PBR AND RAILS, so ya better be there unless you enjoy being square.
