HELIUM

I wish I could say this band was an influence for us. But it's not. not yet!! Great band though!!!

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!


Meanwhile our song POGO came out for free download. if you haven't checked it yet, here it be:

the other also amazing Neil

Speaking of Neil- we got asked to be part of a Neil Young compilation recently. Has anyone ever noticed how after listening to a bunch of Neil Young you are usually emotionally changed for the sadder afterwards? Heavy and beautiful stuff. Could make a person really depressed depending. I think we know which song we are gonna do but it's hush hush right now. If you have a good suggestion let us know!

Also we got our first review of Silver this week here: http://www.ifc.com/news/2010/08/eternal-summers-silver.php
Yeah I know...The Independent Film Channel? HAHAHAHAHA!

And a song that I wish we could do:

NEIL

guilty pleasure. totally going through a neil diamond phase right now! unghhha!!

In other news we have just learned that our Guided by Voices cover will be out on Wild Animal Kingdom's Guided by Guided by Voices Comp! WOOOOO! ok here's Neil:
