how bout that?!

Hey Everybody,
The Edge has been playing our record pretty often.  We won't complain if you call em and ask to hear it more.  They've played multiple tracks, so I don't think their is one in particular that they have settled on, if you wanna help em.
cheers,
dave

Some great Star Swim shows are happening every Saturday.  Check out psykosteve.com to find out about it.

One of the highlights of the night last weekend was when Ian from DATH announced that their song Sweet Talk will be available to download and play for Rockband soon.  I can't wait to video-game-rock that song!

Told you not to watch this!

The New Times wrote a very kind feature article on our band this week...check it out!

"I particularly liked the sets by Art for Starters and Fatigo. If you're
not familiar with the former (that's us), it's an uptempo indie sextet with some fairly catchy melodic songs and a pair of female backup vocalists (look for a music feature on the band from New Times contributor Serene
Dominic in the coming weeks). They were also selling a rather awesome
tee shirt with the phrase "Drugs Made My Favorite Bands/Drugs Ruined My
Favorite People" printed on it..."

The Art One show was really great.  We had a great time.  The Skinwalkers and Source Victoria were fabulous and everybody was way cool.  Each of us in the band expressed numerous times how much fun we had.  Thanks everybody  Go Art One! (and Cardinals!)

We wish we could give back somehow to all your who were so good to us last night.  Buying our merch, cheering us on, etc.  TBS has some great fans.  We hope that you can join us in our quest to take over Tucson in a month or two.  We shall return.  Keep in touch and thanks again to the bands and the peeps who treated us so right.
xo,
Dave & Art For Starters.

P.S. Don't forget...we have a brand new double-album coming out soon.  We get it hot off the presses this week, actually.
