Our Real Names [Clayton & Carl-Robert]

OK it's about time we said our actual first names so we don't have to keep saying dumb codenames. The drummer is Clayton, the bassist is Liam, the lead guitar and singer is Carl-Robert and the other guitarist is Steve. We changed the names on the "What to Call Us" thing on nav bar. Happy New Year!

WE DID IT [C. Bonham & CR]

After rehearsing for 6 1/2 hours we actually played the gig. It was totally amazing. There were 60 people so it was a pretty good private party. This guy Walter (or the musical genius of newburyport) came over to help set things up sound wise. He was the singer in the band Sex Executives. He was a great help. Someday I hope we can record with him. We started the concert with Bailed Out which went great. I think we suprized the people who haven't seen us before. Next we did In My Head that was our only slow song. Our overall sound was sort of Elvis Costello. We played 7 songs (2 sets of 4 and 3) we got rid of Feed on Inspiration because we wern't very tight on that song. Next we played California Burns which was our 4th or 3rd best song. After that our absolute most amazingly cool song was.... Moak! People dig political punk. Then we took a 10 minute break and came back to play the second set which was Thump Along, Mull Over This, and Crutches + Converse. Then OF COURSE we were called back onstage for an encore and we played Moak again. Then there was the insane hour long after-party (Mail got injured backstage and left early) where we were eating carefully assorted M n' Ms and Cocacola. NOW were at the after-after-party at C. Bonhams house and everyone is going nuts. What a great year it has been. Have a great new years and long live rock. Also sorry thats such a bad pic. The lighting was really bad.

Merry Christmas [post by C. Bonham]

Merry Christmas from the band [I tried for an hour to not make that sound sappy]. It has been a wonderful almost full year. It will be a whole year on April Foolz Day. From no Songs in April we now have 15 to 17 [minus the ones we gave up]. We have came a long way and in this area there are some okay record laybles out there. All we need to do is make a CD and I know people will like it. We're really tight. Thanks for the great year.

Unexpected Carriage House Gig!!

We didn't know it but the day after X-mas we're playing a gig at "the carriage house" the place CR's dad started Mechanica a buisness. It's got great acoustics and the day of the show we're going to practice all day. Our set list is as follows: Crutches and Converse, Thump Along, Moak, and California Burns. Only four songs but they are our best. Unfortunatley it's not at a club or some thing but we're gonna invite friends. Seems like we are constantly finding new gigs to play. Long live rock.

CR's Sister.

We're thinking of letting CR's sister Kate "guest sing" in some songs. She has a really strong voice so it would be a neat change from CR's raw, hardcore voice. Also many bands have had girl singers as leads or guests (Heartless Bastards, Sonic Youth, Pink Floyd). We're thinking of having her sing on "In My Head" but we're not sure. Be sure to check out our lemonade stand on the Nav. Bar. it's got some cool stuff on it.
