Will the ringing ever stop?!

Our regulars weren’t able to make it to this show, and we certainly missed them. And they missed out on our free earplug handout! Yes, the show was loud. Very loud. But we rocked very hard and had a great time doing so.

Katonah Grill 12/17/07: Post-Mortem

Just when we thought that Central Park was our best show ever, a night like last night comes along and kicks our opinions’ asses.

It’s a fairly safe bet that we cracked the foundation at the Katonah Grill last night. Those who came witnessed one of our best performances to date. Thank you, every one of you who came and partied like rock stars. Massive amounts of alcohol were consumed; it was a good night for the bar as well.

Getting encored in Guitar Hero™ is highly enjoyable, but getting encored at The Grill is astounding. We love our fans.

Jake Lives.

Open Mic Night @ Victor’s 11/1/07: Post-Mortem

Victor’s is a very cool place right in the middle of Hawthorne. Dino used to play there years ago with Rock Culture. They are just about done renovating the place, and we hope to play there sometime in December.

We’d like to thank Rebel for inviting us to the open mic night this past Thursday. If you’ve got nothing to do on a Thursday night, stop by. There’s a lot of great local talent out there! We had a kickass time playing a few acoustic numbers for everyone, as well as drinking heavily. Friday morning was certainly a tough one.

Costume Party @ Foley’s 10/27/07: Post-Mortem

Thank you everyone who came in costume. There were some pretty awesome costume ideas that were well executed. Everyone is still talking about Jay and Silent Bob.

The show was loud. We don’t know what happened, maybe we couldn’t hear through our wigs, latex any vinyl. But if your ears are still ringing, imagine what ours sound like. We had a lot of fun. Thanks again to everyone at Foley’s! They did a ‘spooktacular’ job of decorating the place. Sorry for the bad pun.

Nick Gretina Music Festival 9/15/07: Post Mortem

This was a show full of apologies, but it was a good show nonetheless. From us apologizing to our fans for going on stage three hours late (not our fault), to us apologizing for our singer who put his foot in his mouth (our fault), this show somehow still kicked ass.

Many hot dogs and burgers were eaten. The weather was perfect until the sun went down. The PA system left a lot to be desired, but we made the best out of it that we could. We decided we would never play without Pete, our sound-man, ever again. Musically, we sounded better than ever. We rocked. Thanks to those of you who stuck around! We’ll see you back at Foley’s.

Foley’s 7/21/07: Post Mortem

Jake has agreed to reimburse the cost of reconstruction and/or cosmetic surgery needed from having your face melted off at last night’s show. If you were in close proximity to the band during their encore performance of Loverboy’s “Working For The Weekend” and your face was exposed to the extreme heat during the dueling guitar solos, apply for a voucher here.

Thank you all for coming, drinking, tipping the bartenders, rocking out with your you-know-what out, spilling your drinks, vomiting and making it home safely. Jake called the Mountain Men from rehab this morning to let you know that he loves you all, and to warn you that the hangover pill does not actually work. Oh, and Ms. Lohan says hi.

Until the next time,

Central Park 7/7/07: Post Mortem

Jakes’ neck, back, legs, groin and ass are sore. Would we do it again? Hells, yeah we would!

The Central Park show was absolutely amazing. We’re still riding the natural high and it is all thanks to the people who showed up; some old-time fans, some brand-new fans, some people who were simply enjoying the most perfect weather mother nature could possibly provide.

Next to conquer: Foley’s, July 21st. This time it’s personal.

WOW. What a great night. Our fans are the best!

Thank you to everyone who showed up and crammed yourself into Foley’s last night. We’ve never sounded better and it’s all thanks to the smiling faces in front of us. Good times were had, ears were blown out, faces were melted off, all in all a great time.
