Casket Salesmen & Välmart are on facebook .

I just checked and in order to actually find "Casket Salesmen" or "Välmart" when searching facebook you have to type them exactly as shown here. If you type "casket salesmen" or "valmart" or even "Valmart" (without umlauts) you won't find us...

You have to use an upper case C on Casket and upper case S on Salesmen. Upper case V on Välmart and MOST IMPORTANTLY, you must have the umlaut above the "a" in Välmart. To type an "a" with an umlaut you must do the following: HOLD alt/option and type the letter "u" and then type "a" and you will see that the "a" will have umlauts above it. What's an umlaut? It's a pair of dots above a vowel to signal vowel fronting, commonly used in the German language.

I know that's dumb and if I would have known that was the case I wouldn't have used the umlauts in the page name... and I tried to change it but can't figure out how, so if anyone knows how I can change the name of the artist page, lemme know! Also, I might be retarded, if someone knows something I don't about the whole upper case lower case thing, lemme know.

thanks!

Please add us on myspace so we can let you know when we have music for you to hear. There's going to be some photos on the blog soon and music here on our myspace.

Keep in touch all y'all.

Hello.

Phil here. Thought I would update everyone who was wondering what the deal is at the moment in the Casket Salesmen camp.

First off, I don't really think October 25 was the last Casket Salesmen show ever. We are hibernating. Not on hiatus. Not broken up.

Everyone is in a lot better spirits than we have been recently. We all moved out of Corona house / Solunaris Studios / Longhair Illuminati offices (thank god)...Nate is now living in Chino Hills and I am now living in LA. Ryan is still in Diamond Bar. Check out Ryan's other band, Mythmaker at (myspace.com/mythmaker).

I started a new band with my good friend, Ben. We're calling this band Välmart for now. Like Walmart, but with a german accent...we know it's silly. That's exactly what we were going for with the name.

We're currently writing songs and recording demos and are open to suggestions or submissions to fill positions within the band. We are currently looking for a keyboard player and two guitarists. Let us know if you are interested and live in the LA area and are a rad dude and have good taste in music and if you're ready to jam every day and play lots of shows and start touring within six months, hit us up!

Also, I will be djing around LA in the new year to make a little extra cash while Välmart is in the studio. If you need a DJ for your bar, hit me up!

Other than that, Casket Salesmen has enough material right now to record an EP, so if I can get Nate into that idea, then it'll happen.

And in case you were wondering, Ryan, Nate and I are all still cool. Ryan and Nate work together and I see Nate every once in a while. We're all still friends and have plans to play music together again soon. Just not now. As far as this band goes, we're hibernating for the winter (at least)...

Peace, Love and Välmart!
