Saturday's Show - Flashforwards and FlashBacks Were Induced!

Thanks to everyone who made it out to the show Saturday. It was great to see some of you we haven't seen in ages! Even though the rain poured down it didn't effect the enthusiasm of the crowd. We played an old school two piece show due to Christina being sick with an upper respiratory infection (she'll be back and ready for the heaviest set we've done in a while, next week at Dallas Scaregrounds). The set was abreviated and we did extended (and weirder than usual) versions of Amethyste and Slow Collision. intodown (www.intodown.com) was amazing as always. If you missed them this time don't worry we will be playing with them again in the near future. A special thanks goes to this incredible band for playing an impressive extended set. On a sad note this was probably our last Denton show for the year as we our going to be spending the next two months working on the next album. There will be two more chances to see us this year (Oct. 26th Dallas Scaregrounds and Oct. 31st Hangman's House of Horrors in Ft. Worth) before we descend down into the laboratory and re-emerge in January.

Why So Many Jazz Bars Close...

A "C", an "E-flat" and a "G" go into a bar. The bartender says,
"sorry, but we don't serve minors." So the E-flat leaves, and the C
and the G have an open fifth between them.


After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and the G is out flat. An
F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp
enough.

Then a D comes into the bar and heads straight for the bathroom,
saying, "excuse me, I will be a second."

An A comes into the bar, but the bartender is not convinced that this
relation of C is not a minor.

Then the bartender notices a B-flat hiding at the end of the bar and
exclaims, "get out now! You're the seventh minor I've found in this
bar tonight."

The E-flat, not easily deflated, comes back into the bar the next
night in a three piece suit with nicely polished shoes. The bartender
(who used to have a nice corporate job until his company downsized)
says, "You're looking sharp tonight, come on in! This could be a new
development."

This proves to be the case, as the E-flat takes off the suit, and
everything else, and stands there au natural. Eventually the C sobers
up, and realizes in horror that he's under a resolution.

C is brought to trial, and is found guilty of contributing to the
diminution of a minor, and sentenced to ten years of DS without Coda
at an upscale correctional facility.

On appeal, however, the C is found innocent of any wrongdoing, even
accidental, and the accusations to the contrary are bass-less.

The bartender, however, decides that since he's only had tenor so
patrons, the soprano in the bathroom, and everything has become alto
much treble and needs a rest, and closes down the bar.

October Featured Band: intodown

We have been trying to feature a different local band each month on
the website (on the right hand column). This month's featured band is intodown. Who, we just so happen to be playing with at Texas Jive this Saturday. intodown features Mike Clark on guitar working with hand picked top DFWmusicians. Mike spent his youth opening (in another band) for Rocky
Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators and as you might expect the
music of intodown is very psychedelic. As he describes it on his
website, ( http://www.intodown.com) "deep, improvisational, psychedelic rock and rock". The music of intodown is more about art than commerce and is of the highest musicianship. On the band's myspace page ( http://www.myspace.com/intodown) influences include everyone from Pink Floyd, Cpt. Beefheart, and, Link Wray to Sonic Youth, Skinny Puppy, and Tiny Tim. While the mp3s are outstanding this is band that is all about the live show and is one of the best live performances I've seen this year. If you are unable to make it out to the show on Sat. at Texas jive in Denton be sure to check out the mp3s on the their website or myspace page.

Oct. Featured MySpace Song --- Slow Collision

Slow Collision is this month's featured song and it is fitting a song this Psychotic and scary would be available for the month of Halloween. Don't let the ballady melodic intro fool you this song song lures you in with its beauty and pulls you down into a musical meat grinder. If you attend our lives shows (thank you) this is what we typically close with and given the nature of the song it can vary widely from show to show. This is good example of what it can be when we nail it.

WARNING: In order to get this song to fit myspace size requirements its been compressed way more than we like.
Check it out all month on myspace and of course as always you can download (a higher quality but no perfect) at itunes

or get the whole album and hear it with no sonic compromises at cdbaby
