7pm doorz | $10 | 19+ (? - sorry...)

The Studio at Webster Hall:
PEELANDER Z | myspace.com/peelanderz
amazingly insane japanese comic punk in uniforms

MATH THE BAND | myspace.com/maththeband
the biggest spazz electro-punk nerds you've ever seen

UNCLE MONSTERFACE | myspace.com/unclemonsterface
sock puppet and human rock band. jerks.

THE MEASURE (SA) | myspace.com/themeasuresa
punk rock awesomeness from new brunswick

The Studio at Webster Hall is located at 125 East 11th St in NEW YORK CITY!

Tell Facebook that you are coming!  It loves to hear about the things that you do!


Seriously, people of the world, this is a show to see.  If it isn't enough to see our giant mashed potato fight a vampire with a huge head, then come for the aerobic awesomeness of our family band Math and the action punk back-flips of the mighty Peelander Z.

It might also be slyly and duly noted that this could well be one of the last times you'll get to see us in a while WITHOUT a live drummer.  If ever there was a sneaky announcement, that sure was one.

AND! "Jokey Jingles", our FREE FOR OUR TEAM MONSTERFACE E-MAIL LIST EP of covers is coming so soon!  We are almost done! And we are really excited about it!  We'll announce the date really soon, we promise.  SERIOUSLY!

Most importantly - keep being awesome.  For you are your own continent of mighty powers, and we believe in every island, peninsula, and chain store that populates you.

Ever your loyal,
Uncle Monsterface

Waddup, TEAM MYSPACEFACE?!

Covered in mosquito bites and tired of rolling through those hot sweaty nights? Need to  shed a few BBQ bellies and/or watermelon tears? Already covered in so much SWEAT but you need just a little more? Uncle Monsterface has all the answers (and poses some troubling questions) in a brand new EXERCISE VIDEO you can see right here:

Get ready to SWEAT SEXXXY at youtube.com/unclemonsterface - MONSTERFACE TEE VEE!


We indulged in too many BBQs, Twinkies, and hot dogs wrapped in Twinkies, and Uncle Monsterface (the monster) offered up a solution.  He sent us this video, it was covered in a creepy slime, and we're pretty sure it's solved all of our problems.

We've been helping the nation with this disturbing video as part of our live show for the past several months, and as we put her into semi-retirement, we give her unto you, internet.  Take good care of her.
-----------

We are playing The Coney Island Museum! 
Which is, to us, evidence that we have finally "made it". 
We've been rocking pretty hard this summer, and this is the last show before we take a few weeks off, and it'll be even more special than our normal degree of relative "special-ocity".

Sunday, August 23
Uncle Monsterface Goes to Coney Island!
with an Exciting QUESTION AND ANSWER session to follow
(this is part of the museum's "Ask the Experts" Series)
ALL AGES!!!! $5
4pm - EARLY SHOW which will be punctual - we are the ONLY band!
The Coney Island Museum
1208 Surf Ave, Brooklyn
Take the D, Q N or F train to Stillwell Avenue (last stop).
Tell FACEBOOK that you are coming! It needs to know!

We're experts!
(But not vampire-finding experts.  We need a vampire for this show.  Anyone wanna be a vampire? Free cd!)

As this show marks the passing of the below-mentioned "Sweat Sexxxy" from the live show, we just might usher in a new stage antic.  And it just remind some of you of an old one.  Some sort of contest, maybe?

yay and we love you.

ever your loyal,
uncle monsterface

Dear Awesome person of awesome-ness that we can totally sense from either afar or nearby ,

We realize that you aren't all in Florida or close to Florida.
But just this once, this show IS relevant to all of you even if you are nowhere near Florida.

Cuz you know what, Team?

This one speaks to the pocket protector at the bottom of your heart and the graphic calculator in the depths of your soul...to the nerd inside us all!

We are performing at Nerdapalooza in FL this weekend, and just this one time, we're looking to the lot of you to help spread the word.
It's an amazing festival full of incredible people, the vast majority of whom are donating their time and giving much of the proceeds to charity (the super-cool Child's Play). If you know of anyone who you think might think this is as awesome as it is, please please help us spread the word.


How? A simple Tweet (with #nerdapalooza to help it trend), a Facebook or Myspace post, or even an e-mail to a friend who lives in that area all go a super-long way to help. Because of you some other awesome person could experience this awesome event with us! Thanks in advance, and that's cool if you can't.


In short:
WE ARE PLAYING AT FLORIDA'S NERDAPALOOZA THIS WEEKEND! AWESOME!

Please help us spread the word about this awesome show by letting other awesome people know about it! For the great big nerd inside us all!

come and see
Uncle Monsterface

and a ton of other amazing Geek, Weird-o and NERD-centric rock acts at
NERDAPALOOZA!
The festival is July 11-12 with too many amazing geeky bands to name.
Seriously, go look. We are performing early in the evening on the 12th.

This whole show will be a flaming ball of unbridled amazement, hurtling through a staunch variety of over-sized circus hoops, shot out of an 8-bit cannon made of legos.

here:
Holiday Inn - Orlando International Drive Resort

6515 International Dr
Orlando, FL 32819
Come to Disneyworld with us the next day!
Also: This is as far from the east Coast as we are getting this summer, kids and cadets, so
embark on the trip like so many zealots in a colorful caravan on their way to a Geek Mech Mega Mecca Man Oh My (vs Dr. Wiley who used to be a nerd but now hates them).


Once more with feeling:

Like Zombie Gary Gygax riding the back of a giant Mecha Joss Whedon-bot carrying a seriously cool stash of imported DS games.
Nerdapalooza is happening this weekend!


Be there or else miss being there AND WE'LL MISS YOU BEING THERE!!
AND? We WILL be premiering a new cover - you WILL be able to download it for free!
YES!

Ever your loyal,
Uncle Monsterface..

Hi and Hello Internet Community of Interest,
This is just a gentle reminder that Marty's Sock Puppet Portraits are being hung in the lobby of a nifty experimental arts space called The Tank tomorrow.
AND! If you already saw the work at Brooklyn's Sputnik, he's now officially promising the rare appearance of three never-before-seen Sock Puppet Portraits!
The excitement overwhelms the senses!

Marty's Sock Puppet Portraits
at The Tank
Opening Reception: Thursday, May 14 at 6:30pm
free n stuff
354 W45th St
Manhattannnnnnnnnnnnnn
(super-easy to get to:
just take any number of trains to 42nd and go west)
thetanknyc.org
(sorry for previous mis-link)

What's doubly cool is that you if come for the sake of being into puppets, you can stick around until 7:30 (or 9:30) for The Tank's Puppet Playhouse - a puppetry series in which puppeteers interpret the work of modern musicians - this month featuring the music of The Magnetic Fields. RESERVE TICKETS: ...com/puppetplaylist.
Which is recommended, as the last one sold out. Again, Marty/Monsterface is not performing in this installment, but who cares cuz it's a super-rad idea.

What's triply cool is that Uncle Monsterface will premiere the theatrical version of our crazy song, "Mashed Potato VS Vampire" at The Tank on June 6. It's too much excitement to take.
Okey doke fine folks.
If I don't see you at any of these exciting occurrences, hopefully I will see you in one of my weird dreams.
lovemarty..
