THIS SATURDAY, PARTY ON WEST UNION, DMS LIVE!

For the first time ever, selections from "Double Murder Suicide" will be performed live and drunken. Also on the tentative set are some "classics" and several new tunes (moron that below).

The house party is actually planned to include a whole slew of bands and will be kicking off sometime in the late afternoon. We're gonna try our darndest to make it to Athens by 8/9 PM, and hopefully we'll be able to play around 9/9:30 PM or later. As of right now I'm not sure who else is going to play, but there may be some spots left to fill, so, if you've got a band in Athens that wants to play on Saturday, talk to Jonny Look.

Unfortunately, for this performance, Double Murder will only feature myself and Jason doing the two-man band thing, but Sam will add some much-needed bass at future shows…ALSO, we haven't practiced much, so, this should be really "interesting" (and by "interesting," I mean, terrible).

P.S - If you're in Athens, Sam is playing this Friday too at Bruce Manor (74 W.Union) with The Caboladies out of Kentucky.

NEW ALBUM IN THE WORKS
As mentioned earlier, whoever manages to make it to Saturday's set will get to hear some of the new Double Murder jams, including the Ray Traylor-inspired "They Threw The Mountie In Jail" and my ode to the Nature Boy, "Fair to Flair." These songs, and others, and probably some full-band versions of older stuff, will all become the next album.

Work has not begun in earnest, but I'm hoping to get it all wrapped up by the end of August.

Possible albums titles include "Sgt. Slaughter's Owen Harts Club Band," "Use Your Submission I & II," and "Roddy Piper At The Gates of Dawn."

NEW TEE-SHIRTS AVAILABLE
Also available Saturday will be the first batch of Double Murder Suicide tees. Homemade and sweet-looking, tee-shirts are limited (like, there's about 10 of em') and only $5 each. We're gonna sell em' at shows, so, for now, no internet sales or anything. Once (or, really, IF) we sell the first batch, we'll make more and make them available through the mail and all that. Sizes are S, M, L, and XL - so if you come to the house party on Saturday, bring an extra $5 and leave with a tee-shirt!
