Demian and Shane are now Great Falls and are selling an eight song tape (with digital download) for $7 ppd at www.myspace.com/greatfallsnoise

Same kind of music. Sort of.

Thanks.

Well, not new Playing Enemy band as much as new band with Demian and Shane from Playing Enemy. It's called Great Falls and you can click the name and hear eight songs they've recorded and tell them if you like them or hate them or think they're just a-okay.


Thanks.

If you were reading this in People magazine, it would say "Playing Enemy
have broken up due to irreconcilable differences. They still remain
friends".

We will post some grand send-off filled with poetry and flowers and
teary remembrances later, but for the time being this is what you get.

All questions, comments, and mini games where you can win a free ring
tone by punching out Osama can be directed to

Don't have time for niceties, ladies and germs, because we're on our way to tour in 24 hours!
Aside from making sure we bring plenty of toilet paper, water  and a copy of Dr Dre's Chronic 2000,
we'll also have a new t-shirt design as well as a 6 song tour ep from Hemingway, the
folk/noise/nonsense side-project from Demian and Shane.

Here's the skinny on the tour:


1. The Dates:

Aug 3 2006
Andre's house Vancouver, WA

Aug 4 2006
hemlock Tavern San Francisco, CA

Aug 5 2006
Parkside Building Riverside, CA

Aug 6 2006
Che Cafe La Jolla, CA

Aug 7 2006
Knitting Factory Los Angeles, CA

Aug 8 2006
Casa de la Raza Santa Barbara, CA

Aug 9 2006
Three Clubs Hollywood, CA

Aug 11 2006
Stork Club Oakland, CA

Aug 12 2006
Diva Eugene, OR

Aug 13 2006
food hole Portland, OR

2. Demian's Birthday. It's on Friday, so bring him presents, like a bag of something that can get
him high or a can of something that he can drink, poke holes in, and then use to get high. He
will also accept a pat on the back, your band's demo, a long and drawn out story about seeing
an Undertow show 10 years ago, a bottle of hair gel to mock his baldness, a free promotional
t-shirt you got for signing up for a Visa Card, your friend's band's demo, a push-up competition,
a free tattoo of Shane's choosing, a gallon of gas, or just don't steal anything from us. Demian
will be 31 years of age.

3. This is our vacation from our non-rocking jobs, so that means that we need fun things to do.
E-mail us your ideas for tourist traps, racetracks, or places where you can get breakfast served by
nude women at GenocideinDarfur@playingenemy.com or
TheBenchwarmersoutnowonDVD@playingenemy.com

4. We will be bringing a video camera to attempt and make a short tour film. If you would like to
be in this you must be one of these things:
   a. A hot girl
   b. A drunk girl
   c. Crazy
   d. Homeless
   e. Suri Cruise

5. Andrew will be leaving for three months immediately after this tour to play drums for Shai Hulud,
the undead band that would still manage to tour after a nuclear holocaust. To see if your part of
the world is going to be covered in Andrew's chest hair (Lebanon, sorry but not this time) e-mail
him at ShaiHuludisthewhiteman'sTupac@playingenemy.com

6. In Andrew's absence, Shane and Demian will be working on their various pet projects as well
as more shows and recordings for Hemingway. Also, they will join forces with Chris and Jose
from Radiation 4 for a modest attempt at complete destruction known as Playing Doctor.


We hope to see you out in the great wide open, under them skies of blue, and if you still have
burning questions that haven't been answered, just give us a shout at

Theol'InandOutBurger@playingenemy.com or  Fishboneisnotmyfavoriteband@playingenemy.com

Good day and welcome to the new Playing Enemy update, dedicated to the men and women who defend our freedom every day by posting some fucking Chingy song on their Myspace page.


We are shoulder deep into a new full length for a completely wicked as yet to be named label, and we couldn't be happier with how it's going. This record is going to have, by far, the most recent songs we've written with titles like "Nasty Girl" and "Let's Ride". Oh shit, those are Chingy songs.

In early August we will be driving down the West Coast in our new van for a two week stint tentatively titled "Why Won't Andrew Let Us Use The Air Conditioner Tour 2006". The dates, when completely soldified, will be posted along with our requests for hard drugs and easy women. Any questions about the specifics of pre-tour can be sent to TacoBellisProLife@playingenemy.com
or PizzaHutisProAbortion@playingenemy.com




Lesbian have finally finished their record "Power Hor", and we have finally heard it. Four songs of heartbreaking decimation that showcase a group of flawless musicians and inspired songwriters. Progressive but not pretentious, epic but not egotistical, Lesbian have blessed the world while at the same time cursing it.  Check out samples from each of their songs at www.myspace.com/lesbianwitch and let them know
how thankful you are.


Both www.Ammoniarecords.com and this website have JohnQRussia eps still available in both stellar colors, and they still can't stop ruling. Buy them all and corner the market.  There are also some rumors that the vinyl version of "I Was Your City" with different artwork is in the pipeline with Ammonia, but that has yet to be officially confirmed by their President and CEO:

 Robin


The mastering for our Accessory ep is done thanks to Chris Commons of These Arms Are Snakes, as well as the artwork thanks to some moustacheless dude named Metallica, and a release date will soon be released.
The record will contain our 70-minute song "To Her, To Thank Her" as well as our cover of The Beatles "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". Our cover of "Got My Mind Set On You" by George Harrison will not be on the ep.


We asked people to send us pictures and then we'd make fun of them. Ross was the only guy who did it.

paddle

If it wasn't for those hi-tech paddles and helmets, I'd swear this was some woodcut from ancient times, showcasing a great sea battle between Odysseus and a snarling, multiheaded beast that Odysseus must slay before he can get back to save his soulmate from a pack of cruel and greedy suitors.  If his soulmate was some gay dude.


If you feel that you could've written something funnier or less offensive, please e-mail us at I'mafuckingcriticallofasudden@playingenemy.com


Don Delillo's "Underworld" could very well be the best novel you've ever read. Oh, and it's 800 fucking pages.

"The Five Obstructions" is the kind of movie that makes you feel like a lazy uninspired asshole, but it also helps you remember that even if your face was dunked in a deep fryer you couldn't be uglier than Lars Von Trier.

If Akron/Family doesn't save music then it wasn't worth saving.

Conifer blew through town just long enough to play us their new material and hear only about half the compliments we wanted to give them. If they weren't rattling our fillings with riff after destructive riff, then they were swooning us with unforgettable hooks.  Go to www.myspace.com/conifer and let your ears get a blowjob.


A while back this guy named Noah wrote Playing Enemy fan fiction to win some garbage. It read like a tale from a homeless schizophrenic, and he not only won the garbage, but also our hearts.  So sensing how greatly we appreciated his art, he decided to send us the sequel.

Dear God.

One day while hanging out in Alaska, Damian, Shane, and Andrew got eating by a whale. It was straight out of some Disney shit. So sitting in the belly of the whale it got really really boring. Damian decided to do blue darts and see if he could gas themselves to death. He has a strange fear of being digested by a whale. Go figure? Who the fuck goes out in a dingy in the middle of the ocean with a fear like that? Damian thats who. Dork!  With Damian ripping ass, Shane and Andrew decided that drinking was going to be their best bet in passing the time until an eskemo or superhero saved them. Damian didn't believe in eskemos and he only believed in He-man when it came to superheros. He likes the fur loin-cloth.
Being in such a shitty situation no one had noticed that all they had to drink was THE BEAST! Which is kind of funny if you stop and thinking aboot it. Three guys stuck inside a whale and the only beer they have is THE BEAST, you can't make that shit up, pure funny.  Shane came up with an idea. Andrew would punch him in the face as hard as he could. While his face still hurt he would shot gun a beer. The pain his face was in would help mask the god forsaken taste of THE BEAST. The only bad part of theplan was that Andrew hit like a little girl with a skinned knee crying to her mommy. Queer-mo!  Then like a hot knife through butter the whale exploded. Apprently the boys were going to do some dynmite fishing. Too damn lazy to use a fishing pole and worm. Damian's blue darts got a little too close to the dynmite, and BOOM.
Too bad it also blew up your mom.

the end.

Wow. If you wanna send us something drunker than this, please e-mail it to
tribalbacktattoo@playingenemy.com



That is the whole dog and pony show at the moment, but as always, any questions or comments may be directed to either our Myspace page or OnelastjokeaboutgoddamnChingy@playingenemy.com

Remember the other day when you were sitting on the back porch, drinking some freshly squeezed
lemonade and watching the sunset, thinking about how you wish Playing Enemy's double ep
"Accessory" would never come out?

Well, your wish has been granted... sort of. Let us explain:


We and Hawthorne Street records have to come to the decision that the Accessory ep, which was
going to be two cd's featuring new songs, covers, and a 75 min. long track, is going to be broken
down into something a little less ridiculous.

While we were very excited to put out what we thought was going to be a bold and significant
release, it was slowly turning into one of those bloated whales that wash up on asian beaches
and then get blown up.
We didn't want to put out one of those whales, and we didn't want you to have to buy one.

So instead, right now we're working on the best way to still get everything out in the most
mind-blowing way possible, which not only means that these songs will be available in more
practical ways, but we will also be doing more updates that aren't just about how fucking insanely
ugly Steven Tyler is.

If you have any crazy ideas how these could be released, please e-mail us at
RobSchneider@playingenemy.com or AAAAAThatsSixA's@playingenemy.com

We are still hard at work writing for a new as yet untitled full length, for an as of yet unnamed
label, and are looking to tour the shit out of this country this summer.
If you want us to go on tour, don't tell nerds on message boards. Instead, let us know at
playmytown@playingenemy.com or
Iwillgetabunchofpeopletoshowuptoyourshow@playingenemy.com or
idontknowwhynooneshoweduptoyourshow@playingenemy.com


In other news, we had a wonderful time last weekend playing at KEXP studios, and then spinning
some of our favorite slow jams afterwards.
Much love to our new friend West and no, we're not saying thank you to a direction.

To listen to us literally crumbling the foundation of a radio station with our rock, just click on
this word- Breastmilk
Yeah, we know that should be two words.


You can buy our new 7" directly from Ammonia Records by clicking the rad banner below:

JQ RUSSIA 7


Official movie for this update: The Squid and The Whale is the kind of hilarious and heartbreaking
film that will make you wonder why you own so many Martin Lawrence DVDs.

Official record for this update: Wolf Parade's "Apologies For the Queen Mary" is the kind of
thoughtful hook-laden record that will make you wonder why you own so many Martin Lawrence
CDs.


Official vocabulary word for this update: Casus Belli (KAY-suhs BEL-i, rhymes with
bell-eye, BEL-ee) noun
   plural casus belli

   An action or event that causes or is used to justify starting
   a war.

If you end up naming your shitty screamo band this, please e-mail us at
IblewJerome'sDream@playingenemy.com


Official link for this update:
http://spyspace.standoffish.com/index.php

> From a friend of a friend. Watch all three parts because they're funny and

you need more funny.


Official idea that no one will do for this update: Send us pictures of you, your friends, or just
people on the street so we can put little taglines under them like they do in Vice Magazine.
Just e-mail them to us at PlayingEnemyareshallowfucks@playingenemy.com


Well, that's what we got this time.
But of course, any questions, comments, or haikus can be sent to either
SirMix-a-lot@playingenemy.com or

This Saturday at 10:00 we at Playing Enemy will be doing an in-studio performance on the only
radio station that will have us- KEXP 90.3 in Seattle.
We will be playing some oldies as well as some hot new tracks, and maybe even spinning some
of our favorite records to educate the masses on why we don't have breakdowns or wear
fingernail polish.

Now, we know what you're thinking- But Playing Enemy, I live in a small Indiana town where
radio has been banned!  Well that's ok, because on www.KEXP.org you will not only be able to
receive an internet "Stream" of the show, but it will also be featured on their website in the
hottest new intangible package- The podcast.

We would love to hear your requests for songs to play, but we can't promise we'll honor them
due to our disappointing lack of saxophone and gospel singers.
So on Saturday grab some popcorn, a loved one, possibly your pet, and please allow us to
fuck all of you with our music.

Our 7 version of Ephemera, titled the JohnQRussia ep, is finally in our hands and were passing
the savings on to you.  Thanks go out to Robin and www.ammoniarecords.com for coming through.
The record has all original artwork, a much better sounding John Q Russia (Seriously),
and a Midi version of our song The Priestcop (Which is on our Pelican split) with different lyrics.
All of that for the low, almost giving it away price of 5 dollars. The vinyl is also in two
different 2-color pressings (coffee/clear and green/clear), so please specify which version you
want, which should be both.
Buy it here:
If you have any other technical questions about this release, please contact us at
FuckMountain@playingenemy.com

In other news, the rest of our stuff still isnt out, and the e-mailing campaign we envisioned could
be pumped up a little, so if any of you still need an e-mail address or two, get in touch with us at
johnnypastaseed@playingenemy.com

If you think you know of a living musician uglier than Steven Tyler, please let us know at
whataboutthedudefrombrotherskeeper?@playingenemy.com


Demian has decided to finally rocket himself into the blogosphere
http://www.demianjohnston.blogspot.com.
While a large chunk of it is dedicated to making Shane look like a dick, it has some of his new
artwork as well as links and all that fun shit that also makes CNN look like a dick.

If youre literate and dont know who Raymond Carver is, please attempt to get a fucking clue.

Andrew is now officially an engineer.  With the completion of his first project at Red Room Studios,
Blowupnihilist  has a shiny new piece of decimation that is looking for labels that specifically
like good music.
Andrew will be working on other projects in the coming weeks, but still has an open schedule,
reasonable rates, and a knack for telling people when more cowbell is required.
Email him HERE!

The Curious George movie seemed to just be another bullshit attempt to capitalize on a beloved
childrens book. It looked to be another glaring symptom of an industry choked with safe bets
instead of legitimate cinema; another bloated-CGI catastrophe.
Of course, we only thought this until we heard that the tagline was Show Me The Monkey.
Playing Enemy now encourages everyone to visit their local cinema when The Curious George
movie debuts.

In other movie news, there is some skepticism that the movie Willow aged well. We would
rather hear peoples opinions than actually watch the movie, so please send us your take on
it to Burglekutt@playingenemy.com

And, as usual, if you have any other relevant questions not related to the above items, feel
more than free to contact us at Thelovebelow@playingenemy.com or
Speakerboxx@playingenemy.com
