This week started off a bit rocky as we caught wind that the venue we were scheduled at double booked the night, and the bill we were asked to be on got the boot! We canceled practice and to got work, and came out with a home for Friday night, thanks so very much to Backspace! The next task was taking all of our copies of our promo mix tape “Heart Drive Crash” that we custom screen printed and finding a way to update the info. Check out our solution…

So now that we have the correct date we placed copies for your listening pleasure at some of our favorite record stores around town. Check the “hand bill/flyer” section at the following spots, and make sure to thank them at the counter for letting us leave a copy or ten for everyone to pick up.

Jackpot Records @ 203 SW 9th Ave
Backspace @ 115 NW 5th
Everyday Music @ 1931 NE Sandy Blvd.
Mississippi Records @ 4009 N Mississippi Ave

They’re free and they are the last copies of Vol. 1. We’ll have a few copies at the show Friday night, and we are hoping to have a whole new batch of remixes in time to get the word around about our show at Holocene for St. Patrick’s Day!

Until then come check out Rock Friends(Amanda Machina from King Black Acid), Us, and Quail Lungs tomorrow night Backspace!

Cheers!

Man, Eugene, you know how to have a perfect lazy weekend. Even while totally productive, Andy and myself managed to have like 30 cups of coffee, 20 pints of beer, 3 burgers, 1 sweet life cake, and an amazing trip to Papa’s Soul Food kitchen, where we would have enjoyed a Big Ass Piece o’Cake, were it not for the big ass piece of pulled pork sandwich we had before it. AMAZING!!!

We played at CD World saturday to some enthusiastic and friendly folks, and then partied on Sunday with the Parson Redheads. It was a really fun show, since I played my first show ever with the Parsons 6 years ago. OMG RIGHT!

We passed out a ton of Heart Drive Crash, and left some at Sweet Life and Wandering Goat, so if you missed us while we were out and about (which was everyone! First sunny day in Oregon in months and no one was walking around in Eugene, weird) you can go to one of the aforementioned establishments and see if there are still some at the front. 

BTW, do you know of this really  cool narrow club called Dunes? YOU DO! Awesome, because we’re totes playing there on Friday night. We have another special edition of Heart Drive Crash to pass out, so maybe you’ll see us around on Thursday or Friday! If you don’t know where Dunes is, its at1909 Northeast M L King Boulevard, and there’ll be a lot of video performances by some other acts too, in addition to yours truly!

About a month ago on a rainy afternoon we had the pleasure of being on Portland’s own Sessions From the Box podcast.  It was lots of fun and a great idea for promoting local music.

In other day to day news, more mixtapes will be hitting the streets of Eugene, and Portland for our two upcoming shows at Sam Bonds Garage, and Dunes. before the month is out.  Up in march… Vol. 2?  Here’s some more DIY Porn  

Ok that’s it for now.  See you all in Eugene soon!
