Phil's Pub and its Sweet Siren Song

Phil's calls and I respond. I'm itching to get there and play a few nights. My gear collection has grown with the addition of the lap steel. As much as I hate setting up and tearing down stuff, I like having a lot of stuff to play with. I want a roadie. I can't wait to hear Doktor's scratchy singing this weekend.

Argus Leader Tommorrow

Look for a story about Wumpus and the New Year's Eve Show in tommorrow's Argus Leader. If you don't want to buy the paper you can just go to http://www.argusleader.com and go to the entertainment or maybe the life section.

I've been pretty sick the last couple of days so you should expect an extra scratchy throat show tommorrow night. Coughing, coughing and more coughing. I've only smoked 6 cigarettes in the last 3 days, so it's pretty serious.

New music I've gotten into recently::
The Arcade Fire ~ Funeral
Black Heart Procession ~ Amore Del Tropico & 1
Secret Chiefs 3 ~ Hurqalya - Second Grand Constitution and Bylaws
The Fire Theft ~ The Fire Theft
TV On The Radio ~ no album in particular

the Secret Chiefs 3 are kind of arabian techno with the occasional surf guitar song
The Fire Theft's singer kind of reminds me of go0d Perry Ferrell

I'm off to make the break music for New Year's...I think I'll go total wacko on this one!

3 Album Titles

Here are the three album titles we came up with at practice last night in order of least good to a little more good.

"That'll Be The Day When You Organize A Gang Bang On Video"

"Attack Of The Worst Songs Ever"

"They Farted Real Loud From The Grave"

If you've heard any of the stuff we've done so far you should understand why the last one is so apt.

DSTM meets Larry Diedrich

if you weren't at the Top Hat tonight boy you missed out
DSSTM and I went down to hand out pocket sized fliers and get more tipsy

Stim went up to the died and handed him a poster
the died said"is this where we're going next?" and proceded *play darts with the Jens

I'm kinda drunk now so that's as enough

*post edited to avoid being sued for liable

Recording marches on!

We have begun the second wave of the recording onslaught. First up is Rocketship which will feature Chuck Luden and Mark Romanowski on the build section. The first half or non-build part of the song is nearly finished and we are confident Jon will somehow pull it from the fire and make it sound decent or even better than decent. I hope all of you who don't read this blog are in good health and have a wonderful holiday season.

New Year's Eve (and Day) with Wumpus

hey,
long time no blog

I'm writing to let you know that Wumpus will be at Phil's Pub on New Year's Eve and January 1st. Wumpus will be joined (both nights) by Stab Stab Cut Kill from Fargo, ND. We all hope you can make it cause that would be just great! There will be a number of items given away as door prizes on New Year's Eve. Some of them are: Wumpus shirts, Doktor Barkey cds, Anubis Field cds, weird shit we come across before then and (last but not least) King Wolfgoat the Charismatics automobile. You could drive home in a brand new (in 1985) Cherokee Explorer type thing that actually runs and has a six banger. Four To The Floor!!! is what I always say.

So brave the elements this New Year's and enjoy a cold beverage at the original home of the frosty mug...Phil's Pub.

music starts at 9:30 p.m. and you'll need $3 cash money to get in the place...and a valid i.d...and a wig.(mustache optional)
