Thanks everyone who came out to see our show at the Art Bar the other day. You were an awesome crowd and we had a lot of fun. Thanks also to Alex from The Noise for filling in as our low brass man. The Noise has a show, also at the Art Bar, this Thursday night. It should be damned awesome.

Behold the power of crude-soaked cheese! This is a Link! Thanks again, Alex and everyone else in The Noise for this awesome recording.

I just updated the website. Didn't add much in the way of content, but it certainly looks better than before. The old design didn't look good in Internet Explorer at all. This one is at least tolerable. Fucking Microsoft. Additionally, if you haven't seen or heard The Noise, it's about time you did. Holy fuck they put on an amazing show the other night. Squids and fishies, Phil

Whee! We've got a show at the NBT! Hopefully it won't be sweltering hot like it was at the The Noise/Why Johnny Kills/Sleepytime Gorilla Museum show the other night. Both the bands for whom we are opening seem to be quite awesome. The Zydepunks, who are from New Orleans, have a fun blend of punk, cajun, and irish with no shortage of accordian. Maladriot Mafia is a real ska band from Lexington. A real ska band...so real that it puts me, the lone out-of-practice part-time trumpeteer in a band with a "ska" song, to shame.... Alas. Joshua has found shrink wrap, and so we have finally shrink-wrapped some copies of Rock Salt to send to Manifest. Now, we just have to drop by when the consignment guy is actually there... love and kisses, Phil

Apparently our URL didn't get set to myspace.com/yukosthecrude when we first asked for it, so it was some ungodly long number. this situation has been rectified! rectified!!!! Love and Kisses, Phil

The merry band of crude oil giant gentlemen known as YUKOS THE CRUDE are finalizing their debut EP/DVD multimedia extravaganza known within certain circles of the hydrocarbonic community as ROCK SALT. It wil be ready for sale at their upcoming SHOW at GROUND ZERO opening for PHARMA SUTRA and PERISH42.
