Abusive behavior

Hey Everybody-

Swagger here. It's 7:42am, and I've only been asleep for about 4 hours, max. It's going to be an entertaining day today, isn't it? Anyways, over the last 24 hours I got a facebook account (unlike those boring, uninspired pages that they've got going) for the band up.

Damn, that's one hell of a large tag. I went though our "fans" on our "page" and added so many that Facebook says I'm showing signs of Abusive behavior.. bwahahahahahaha. Shit, I thought that's why you liked us.

Anyways, We've got a mess of shows coming up. We're playing on WUML next week, as well as doing a nice little weekend with the Furiousity in CT and NY. That should be a great time. Much like a possible trip over to My Diner on A Street in Southie would be right about now. I'm broke but they do this amazing 3 egg/3 sausage/homefries coffee deal for like $3.99 during the week before 10am. Might totally be worth it.

Also, speaking of diners, does anyone know of any All Ages venues over in New Jersey? We're looking to set up a weekend in Jersey and Philly, and I'm pretty much over most 21+ Rock clubs. Give me a goddamn punk show, or an honest fucking pub where we can play all night. Anyways. Any help would be appreciated

1/8 (Allston, MA) and 1/19 (portland, ME, NOT PLAYING)

Alright, we're playing acoustic over at the Islington house showspace here in Allston. All Ages. Hope to see you there.

However, we are NOT playing 1/19 at the Port City Music Hall - although we confirmed, we never heard back from the promoter, and now they have a different band listed on the site. Sucks, but what can you do. Go check out the Pubcrawlers, and make sure to buy Seth a lot of liquor.

That being said, get us a place that does All Ages (or even 18+) Punk Venue or a solid pub for us to play all night, Portland, and we're so yours.

This Friday

This Friday, All Ages Allston Acoustic!

Hangover Brunch.

Shit, I am still hungover from New Years. Somehow I ended up at places I wasn't even trying to go and drinking way more than I intended to drink. My boots are split open, and my brain feels like it was scooped out with a melon baller. But I didn't breakout in handcuffs. So all in all, a good night.

So, I've got a few moments before diving headfirst into work for the next 10-12 days, so I thought I'd write at least one more blog for the new year.

Thank you for Saturday. What a fucking show. Much love to the Have Nots, as well as the Star Fucking Hipster crew - really nice guys. The show was absolutely off the hook, It seems like every day show we get to play at the Middle East is an utterly packed madhouse. Much credit to Robbie (Brick by Brick Productions) for making this happen and his tireless promotion. What a raging success.

That being said, we're booking for the new year. If you want us, now is the time to make that happen. We're gigging our way to a new van, so, ah, toss us a goddamn bone. We miss the road and the road misses us. We're currently trying to get back to NYC and Philly, bare minimum. I know we're going to be in Upstate NY sometime in January with the Furiousity, more on that soon.

Alright, another full coffee cup, and off to work. Happy trails.

KYHHH (reprise) sale.

Hey everyone-

So it's official, we've re-released our most recent album, Keep Your Head Held High. To celebrate, we're going to sell it for $5 at this Saturday's show. I couldn't be more thrilled with how it came out. The whole point of this sale is pretty simple. Our van, our beloved Deon Primetime Vanders, is dying. We're slowly trying to make the money to replace it, cause we're all bitchass broke. So yeah, If you like what you hear on Saturday, pick up the new record - we'd greatly appreciate it. By you buying our shit, we can make more music and go back on tour.

Also, this is definitely our last show of the year. So come on out.

Not sure what's in the works for 2010. We're looking to put out an acoustic album, I know that much. A good bunch of traditional tunes, as well as some old favorites. No idea what the timeframe will be for that, but it's long overdue. Time will tell. Also, St. Patrick's day is coming! Obviously a high point in our year. It's the most wonderful time that absolutely no one remembers.

Anywho, enough rambling, there is work to be done. See you all Saturday.

Empty Bottles and Frayed Bows

So THAT was fucking awesome. Amherst was utterly ridiculous, thanks to the Time & Place crew, and everyone else out there - grand music, great band. Mallory was sick, and Niko is a fiend - hope his foot is okay. The Greyhound still is king of Public Houses in the state of Massachusetts, the Old Edison are still a bunch of charming drunks.

I need more coffee. Or a nap. Or a weekend to recover from this weekend.

You're coming to the Star Fucking Hipsters show on 12.12 at the Middle East Upstairs, all ages day show, right? Oh, good. Have Nots are also on the bill. Should be a good time.
