Hey Everybody!

This just in!  We love you and you are all beautiful people.   It's true.  You are all beautiful in your very own special way!  Um...so... we haven't written any super witty/charismatic blogs in a while so here some sweet updates. 

1) Jeff has recently had broncitis (don't worry ladies, we don't think he's contagious anymore)
2) Jeff went to Las Vegas with his broncitis and probably made that town a little more diseased....but probably not much more.
3) We're still plugging away at our official CD. (we'll let you guys know about any rad/tubular release parties we might be having).
4) I think I might cut my hair into a mullet soon...maybe I'll film it and put it on the internet.

hmmm....that's about all I got for now.  Hope to see ya'll soon out on our world tour (that only consists of northwest shows).

KEEP IT EXTREMELY REAL DOGS!

heart,
matthew

A special bulletin from Jeff:

Its been brought son. You are about to get served, because Mr. SexyPants is finally a living breathing monster of a recording 4 years after we first started playing it! So if you're oblivious to the wondrous nature that is Mr. SexyPants, it was founded when our good friend and ridiculous bassist Fred Griswold played this sexiest of the sexy latin baseline for us. (Can I get a shoutout to anyone who knew us as Tickle Fight? Anybody? Yea its probably better if thats been forgotten.) Anyway. So we created an epic song founded upon the idea that anybody could get arrested for indecent exposure if they really put their mind to it. (This is america isnt it?) And so Mr. SexyPants was born, an inspiration to all of us who would really rather dance naked. Enjoy.

Jeff and Matt (plus Fred Griswold and Dorian Aites in spirit, whose contribution to this particular song was invaluable, and smokin' hot)

So! updates! We just rocked it with Hillstomp last night at Bombs Away Cafe in Corvallis, and I'd say it was one of the most fun shows we've done in a while.  The crowd was rowdy! Especially when we stripped at the end into tutus and tights for Drugs Sex and Ballet and added that touch of mystique that everyone was craving. Either that or they were just excited to see us with no clothes.  I'm good with either interpretation.  Midway through the set Matt's guitar lost its pickup, so we had F that crapola and we jumped off the stage into the mobs of people to play the rest.  We also officially played the Eugene Song in Corvallis, but via lyric changes it pretty much became the Corvallis Song in the end. And our Ginger, Matt N., shook it like a polaroid picture and blew everyone's minds with his crazy moves and pastiness.  With the lighting in there, his skin reflected so much light that i think it burned most people's retinas.  And finally.  Matt squeezed my butt in the middle of Thighs, which distracted me and made me mess up the song.  So in summary, it was a really fun show.  And of course Hillstomp played right after and blew the roof off the place, so i think everybody left Bombs Away happy.  Especially us, because we still had our Ballet tights and tutus on and everybody leaving from the OSU football game took pictures/shouted obscenities at us.  It was great. We'll have pictures of it soon, dont worry.

love,

Jeff (that guy with glasses)

Where to start...hmmm. After a weekend that included 9 hours of car travel, late shows, crazy bar folk preforming unwanted touching, acoustic mosh pitting, and a British person from the coast of Oregon, I'll recap this past weekend starting at the beginning. It was indeed one of the crazy weirdest weekends of show playing I've experienced.

THURSDAY we played at Luckey's which was a really cool venue, good sound guy etc., but holy F I must be getting old because we didn't start playing till after midnight and our show ended after 1am and that seemed a little late for a Thursday night. Don't get me wrong, I still got a little bit of spunk left on them weekends, but thursday? shoot. Anywayz, another big thanks to all our hardcore fans that stuck it out with us there. We tried our best to arouse you with our jolly dancing and angelic singing. I ended up going to bed at 3:30am cuz F man, I had to watch the new episode of The Office. So that was that.

FRIDAY we moseed on down to Ashland to play at an Irish Pub. It had a few perks: a couple drunken dancers, a dog in the bar, underage kids (who unfortunately got kicked out) listening to us in the doorway then throwing us $7 apparently because they liked us or thought Jeff was selling his body, and of course some free alcohol. These perks however were somewhat bogged down by the fact that a patron of the bar decided to take my guitar in the middle of one of our songs and attempt to play a song with Jeff. But don't worry everybody, I got the guitar back so that we could play a song while the patron tried to knock off my hat, give me "love pushes" and grab me around the neck after we finish. We really bonded.

After a stellar time at the bar we went to stay at our buddies house to discover that he probably has the most interesting neighbor in all of history. After coming over to do laundry a little after midnight, his neighbor (who sounds like a 19th century British OPB narrator, but is from Oregon) told a story about penguins nodding at each other. He told us this story quote, "not in jest". We found this quite humorous and strange and I guess you just had to be there. It was the entertainment of the night.

SATURDAY we drove from freaking Ashland to freaking Portland weeeehooo! We played a show that night in a gynormous mansion house for a high school halloween party, which was actually probably the most fun show to play of the weekend as we had High Schoolers moshing to an acoustic cover of What is Love (the Night at the Roxybary song) with strobe lights flashing behind us. Plus we got free food and dressed up like giant M&M's. So pretty much a great and weird way to cap off a very strange weekend. Such is the life of rockstars like Jeff and I.

Till next time,
Matthew

Hello Everyone,

Jeff and I are some busy bees as of late. This weekend we are playing in Eugene, Ashland, and Portland. Yipeeeeeee! I am currently running on very little sleep, it is 1am, but for some reason felt compelled to fight sleep and write a blog on myspace... my rational being...hmmm....I'm not sure....why the hell am I not sleeping!!!! Moving on, we just designed new stickers. They are so new that Jeff hasn't seen them as he is asleep. I know this is probably the most enthralling news you've ever heard. We'll probably show them to you in a video of the week type thing or something soon. What?!! THIS JUST IN:

ANYONE WHO COMES TO ANY OF ARE SHOWS GETS FREEEEEE STICKERS!!!!

Even more exciting news is that we are playing with HILLSTOMP (one of our favorite bands) on NOV 1st in Corvallis...so if you come to any of our shows make it that one!

Welp I gotta rest up for this weekend. Till next time.

Matthew and sleeping Jeff

So we are now officially back. You can stop holding your breath, I know you missed us. We missed you. Your witty charm, your adorable sass, and let's not forget your eye-lashes that go for, like, miles...anywayz. Played Cozmic last week and thanks to all who came out to see us. Fun times. We're really excited about our upcomin shows and just about fall in general and even have a few goals such as:

1) Actually having the Video of the Week be weekly (who'da thunk it)
2) Recording of course for our full album.
3) Getting new shinier stickers
4) And learning to communicate with farm animals

All these goals I feel are within our reach. With your support I know we can achieve them. As always we heart you all and will give ya anotha update in a timely fashion.
