Hott New Traxx

With the help of Studio SQ in San Francisco and Mike Wells Mastering down in L.A., we've put together three new tracks. They are heavy and awesome sounding. You can listen to one now, "Karoshi" (over on the right-hand side there, over yonder where it says "Audio".)

Right now our plan is to make all three tracks available as digital downloads through iTunes and whatnot, and press two of them to a little 7" because we've always wanted to do that. More news on the vinyl front later this spring.

Noses to the Grindstone

We've been on-and-off at a great new studio in SF, Studio SQ, working on getting a few new songs down to tape. (Literally... we are going all-analogue, straight-to-tape on this one.)

We finally got three songs down and they're off for mastering. We're planning on making them part of a larger album in the future, and in the meantime we will be making them available digitally and possibly even releasing them as a 7". More on all that later.

Thanks to the good folks at Studio SQ... check out their digs here: http://www.studiosq.com

Below are some shots of some of their neato vintage gear. And also the Little Moogerfooger That Could, which we found ourself using for all kinds of weird stuff.

Video: "Drug Crusade"

Our good friend Jimmy came down to the rehearsal space a while ago and shot this excellent video. He brought everything you need for a video: lasers, glitter, and cool little cameras that attach to the head of your guitar. 

The audio is a live take of "Drug Crusade", while the video itself is a few takes of the song cut together (Braden is amazing, but even he can't take his headband on and off like that while playing.) 

There is still glitter all over our shit, but it was worth it.

"Money & Guilt" on The Monolith

Thanks to The Monolith for choosing "Money & Guilt" as one of their top 10 "albums you haven't heard" from 2012. Cool site, and a great list of heavy albums here!

Happy New Year folks!

Show at the El Rio Thursday Dec 20th

It's been a good long time since we played our last show in SF, and on December 20th we are back at one of our favorite venues, the El Rio.

It's been so long, in fact, that we got a bunch of new tunes to show you. We're not sure how many will be in the set yet. But some of them are about drug smuggling, intelligent salamanders, and death by overwork. I'm not sure about the others, because Enver changes the words every time. There will also be NEW T-SHIRTS.

It's a Thursday night, but the good news for you creaky old folks is that we're on first, around 9 pm. So if you have to, you can power-slam a few shots of whiskey, catch an awesome rock show, and be home in time to spank your children or watch Matlock or whatever.  But even better, stick around, hang out and watch psych rockers Glitter Wizard and Black Pussy, who are on tour from Portland. (We know how rough that can be. Support independent touring bands! Rock out! Eat tacos!)
