GNARLY SWEATY DROOL (an homage to TLC)

Oh my we had a RIDICULOUS time in Philly/NYC/Charlottesville this past weekend!!! Some highlights:

Censoring punk for children, dogs and old people at Penn Treaty Park. Then a lot of pizza!
Watching Smashing Pumpkins Vieuphoria with RR and Family Trees at RR's Mansion.
Ginger beer.....really beer with ginger.
Gnarly sweaty hairy set at Live at the Pyramids in Williamsburg.
Beach Fossils old and new all actually being at our show, ON TIME!
Noodle shop by the Cake Shop with waiter who could break out into song at any moment.
Getting two parking tickets on Friday the 13th!!!! YIKES.
Playing a Gretsch hollow body because of a broken string- mellow punk!

FRIENDS AND FAMILY TREES!

We are so excited about this weekend! we will be playing two VA shows with some of our best friends in the world! First there is the aforementioned, with our great pals from Brooklyn, Family Trees who just put out a rad 7" on FatherDaughter Records that you should check out called "Dream Talkin." Also my high school bandmate has a sweet power pop band from DC called Greenland, and also the brilliant Andrew Cedermark. SWEET BILL.


ALSO on Saturday we will be having a music love fest with HOT LAVA, the Sad Cobras and Family Trees at Strange Matter (the old cafe 929/Nanci Raygun). Should be RIDICULOUS! and super bittersweet as it is HOT LAVA's last show with this lineup. tears of sorrow.
