KIMOCHII

we had our first night of our new KIMOCHII party at the Stud last night, and it went very very well, as we broke even, yay! people came, they danced, they ate cake, it was all in all, pretty awesome. other than my camcorder crapping out halfway through the night, and some minor technical difficulties with the DJ mixer, everything came together, and people even ate most of the big costco cake i brought, haha!

the girl with violent arms played first, and i caught most of Mario's set with my camcorder. i really enjoyed his performance, and like me, a couple people also mentioned that we wished had gone on longer. 123picnic played next, and it was good to play a show with them again, and they had a new drummer and 2nd guitarist. we played third and the set was:

anal fixation
statement of intent
don't you want to play with me
the escapist
fear of death
no questions no answers
dead roses
you don't love me anymore
do you wanna mess around
sing pretty or die

we played pretty well, as we weren't too drunk. tommi did really good for having worked a 14 hour day on two hours of sleep the night before and only one energy drink. i think we lost the audience once we got to the ballad, so probably no more ballads anymore unless they're at the end of the set. we want to keep our shows high energy throughout and keep the smokers dancing.

anyway, we'll be doing this KIMOCHII party now every third thursday of the month @ the Stud, very exciting!

you missed it, but we got some video

so we played the stud last night, and for the first time in a bit of awhile, it was good one! we played:

sing pretty or die
statement of intent
the escapist
persona
don't you want to play with me
dead roses
do you wanna mess around
fear of death
no questions no answers
anal fixation

and it was pretty rock solid up until anal fixation, cuz of course, we had to fuck up the easiest song! light leaks were really cool, and so were the ferocious few, even though there was some retarded drama between both of those bands. anyway, we kicked back and drank and hung out with friends and stuff. later we tried to catch last call at aunt charlies, were the door guy had the gall to charge us cover at 1:40am, so yeah, fuck that tubesteak party. last time we hit that up. plus the additional drink kinda brought out the craziness, but eventually we made it home with only minor bruises. video will be up on the youtube shortly. gotta go stop by the stud and get my extension cord back!

more recording and a show on thursday

so we have a show on thursday at the stud. if yr reading this, y'all should come.

we've been doing a lot of recording, in fact all of the drums are now DONE, yay! we still have a bit of percussion and electronic beats that we plan to do, but the meat of the drums are all done. in fact, we've got the new version of 369 almost done, it just needs bass and some percussion. recording it was much easier this time than the previous version that jimo and i agonized over (polishing a turd, if you will). it's faster, more disco, and more streamlined. we did the drums for hibernating rattlesnakes last night, and i am quite pleased. it will be the longest song on the record and features a 45 secord or so drum break. the new version of dead roses is pretty much mixed, and corey's other song the mole just needs finished lyrics.

slowly moving towards gathering artwork and an album title.
