1OO posts!! [Clayton]

I have a day off today [don't ask]. My brother went to cinemagic to see Juno. I went with my friends yesterday so I don't care if he goes and I stay home. Besides I've seen it twice now. Anyways, we're at about 71 posts right now and close to 100 POSTS!!!!
Yay...

Looking for Mixer/EQ (Ca®l-Robert)

We recently saved up enough money to pay for a mixer/EQ for the band. Believe it or not we hadn't been practicing with vocals for a while. We haven't bought the thing yet but we are looking for something that has a built in amp but doesn't need to be hooked up to a PA system. We already have two moniters and two speakers/amps so we are pretty much covered there. Plus we already have a microphone. Our equipment advisor and friend Walter is going to help us track down a decent one by April (hopefully) which is the time of the school gig. Comment if you have any suggestions. One last thing, we recently made up a tottally catchy but also indie new song. It's called "Crazy Telemarketers" and it's about telemarketers disturbing your privacy. Clayton and I wrote it. It will definetly be in the set-list for the gig.

Gigs on the Horizon... (Clayton)

We have two known gigs coming up. We have the Lynn Mass thing, which I don't know a thing about. And the stupid guy who was planning the Nock Gig finally told us the party was in April! I'm kinda happy we didn't bail on him. Even then he made us wait 4 MONTHS TO TELL US WHEN THE GIG WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!!! We will get the set list(s) up for you to see eventually.
I hope...

Note to Clayton: Sorry for writing on your post but unfortunatley there will be no Lynn, MA gig. We missed the deadline for demo tapes. Awesome DAS PINTOS post.

Das Pintos! With a name like that people have to be interested! (Clayton)

In a town like Newburyport you can't walk 2 blocks in downtown before you see a local musical arist gig poster in a shop window. One day I was "walking around" and I saw this awsome graphic art poster in Joppa Fine Foods. The poster said "Das Pintos, wir sin mas macho, saturday 22nd at the grog, get da funk out! (the poster had a chick with HUGE sunglasses and a fro)". So I was like, "WOW!" This is great, I gotta tell somebody! So I rushed home and told my folks. Since they had nothing going on they went to the show on Saturday at the Grog resteraunt. They said the show was awsome. So I found their website and I'm going to link it to ours, once I figure out how to. Spread the music man!!!!

MONEY!! WOOHOO! (Carl-Robert)

We've raised ALOT of money for the band. We're going to spend it on a mixer/EQ for vocals (did I already say that?). I've already let out my anger but we ended up missing the submission date for trying out. Instead, we are going to send a tape to this online radio station called U-N-U that could give us wider recognition. Also, as a response to Clayton's message, I'm sorry about that and you now have permission to change my posts (especially this one since I repeated a bunch of stuff). I usually just do it to yours because of spelling. Rock On.

Message for Carl-Robert (Clayton)

Carl Robert stop deleting posts. I know I just deleted one a week ago but that was my own post. Please stop deleting my posts or adding little things to them. It pisses me off. Tomorow is practice day! Sweet!!!

"Cut My Hair" Short (Clayton)

I cut my hair short yesterday. At least it still covers up the top of my ears. Whatever, I needed it cut. Carl Robert and Liam are gonna flip when they see how much the barber cut off (even though Carl-Robert got a bad cut too). I don't know why i'm posting this. Maybe as a tribute to the rebel of mods and the who ("Cut My Hair"). I'm kinda light headed and it's been a long week. Long live my old hair...man! Oh, and we are going to make up a song called "Mind the Gap" at practice Wednesday. Yea it's true I was kinda pissed at Liam.

Woah... Clayton (Carl-Robert)

Okay Clayton has seemed pretty pissed off at Liam. First of all, Liam WAS throwing dead rat tails around one practice (that was just gross), and second, Liam wouldn't give the band any money (he finally gave $45.00). We now have $160.25 in all. Pretty sick accomplishment if you ask me. We have confirmed that we will play the monthly gig event in Lynn, MA so we will be at the next one of those. Also, Liam and I got to go to Friendly's® (yippee!) but it kind of sucks because Clayton wanted to go more than me but he couldn't. The band is almost one year old so in April we will be "running around, destroying the forces of evil (to quote Clayton)". It's pretty sweet the band is almost one year old. Originally Clayton posted about Liam but then he deleted it so... yeah.

Yes! (Carl-Robert)

We finally found something! It was on craigslist and it's an annual event at Central Square in Lynn, MA. Apparently they are looking for all different kinds of bands. The title of the poster was "GREAT bands wanted" so I guess we qualify (ha). We don't know much about it yet though.
