Smoke Machines and Peppermints

Ouch...

Th' Legendary Shack Shakers threw a legendary can of whoop ass down at the Mad Rock Pub last night. The 25 or 30 people who saw this were all blown away. I guarantee it! I mean the singer guy was pulling his chest hair out and tossing it at the crowd for christ's sake! I won't even get into the snot blowing or how great their music is. (he stopped a fan on high speed with his tongue, WITH HIS FUCKING TONGUE!!!!)

...As For The Our Set...

We've been better. We've definitely been mixed better and had much less smoke machine to deal with. I'm starting to think that that Tom guy has it out for us. We used to sound decent down there, right? I don't know. Maybe we need to play more of the tripped out daisy chain shit to get a real reaction. I hope the benefit did well because, after all, that is what we were there for last night.

CD RELEASE NEWS!!!!!

We are definitely on schedular for the October 14th and 15th shows. Friday the 14th (oooooohhhhh) will be a Fish On Toast Collective showcase. What that means is, Prozac Rat will be there and beyond that who knows. Maybe some sort of Spooncat! type action.....maybe the very first Masons live performance featuring everyone in the bar and of course The Fwump. The next night will be the premier of The Gooder Tour! with performances from P, Skunk Willy~The Anubis Field~Wumpus.

On a side note the Ferrengi will be running door at these shows so lOok out. Who knows what kind of mess we've gotten ourselves into. O and bring an extra $10 for the album. It's worth like $12.50 at least so SHUT UP!!!

Barkey

I hear you've got a record there...

I want to congratulate the Wumpers on the completion (save duplication) of their album. I've recently listened to the final(?) mix, and am very pleased about it. I can't wait to hear the mastered version. Pudding rocks!

Having been in on a session or two, I can report to those interested that the time in the studio was quite lovely, the spirit of the muse and whatnot... Very serious times call for very serious art. And Wumpus does what Wumpus does anyway. Which is serious. I have no idea what the hell I'm even trying to say.

Kerny, what kind of cheese do you eat before bedtime? I heard a report on a study in the UK about how different cheeses produce different types of dreams, if eaten before bedtime. For instance, a stilton or blue cheese will tend to produce more bizarre dreams, whilst cheddar produces calmer, happier dreams.

The other night I had a couple of ounces of Gorgonzola, and I dreamt that a large fish had taken over the phone company.

God loves Spicy food!

I had a nice chat with God last night.

He told me one of the answers to life. He didn't want to, since it might ruin something. You know how I hate spoilers.

I'm going to share it with you now, so prepare yourselves.
Joe.
I know, it blew me away too.

Once again, my dad had something great to say in my dream this morning. In regards to methods of killing bees, he said "you sprinkle ash on the dinosaur's foot to keep it from stepping on the termites."

I'm not sure if it means anything, but I'm going to ask God right now.

Minneapolis and beyond.

Thank you P. Skunk Willy and the Antibots and Great Girls Blouse for having us up in your Minneapolis town. We had a real good time! Look for both of these bands (or maybe P. Skunk solo) really soon here in Sioux Falls. Thank you Angie!

In the next week or so I should have the mastered version of our debut album N.O.T.E.S. in my grubby little paws. In the event this actually occurs I will put selections up on our dmusic and Myspace sites for your steaming pleasure (or streaming if your not into steaming). You may buy a copy for 10 smackers on Oct. 14 and 15 at our very special Phil's Pub Party!!! The 15th is sure to thrill as Phil and the Skipper present the very first Gooder Tour featuring P. Skunk (quite possibly performing solo), The Anubis Field (creating the wall of sound you love to penetrate) and Wumpus (us).


Highlights from the Twin Cities

When Stim crawled (on his belly) under the fence behind the Terminal Bar to the adjoining goth type bar.
When Stim returned from the goth type bar and lit up a smoke and got kicked out (briefly) from the Terminal Bar.
When Stim got reprimanded for peeing right outside the back door of the Terminal Bar.
When Stim and I did not get reprimanded for peeing behind the Terminal Bar because we hid behind the Spooncat! van house.
When I (truly) experienced bus puss for the very first time.
When P. Skunk had to where the George Bush t-shirt because of a bet he lost.
When King Wolfgoat and DSSTM started singing Jimmy Cliff songs like Metallica would and thusly thought of a band (or album) called Jimmy Cliff Burton.
When Rory totally cut that guy off on the way to Chris and Kristens from the bar.
When I showed everyone my boss new tattoo.

Screwed, blewed, and tattooed.

Yep the Barkey got a tattoo last night. So the next time you see the Barkey watch out! He might punch your face in for no good reason and talk about himself in third person. He's super tough now and ready for action.! That's RIGHT!

Hey man! You've got something on your arm...

New Tattoo!


FUCK YEAH!!

On again...off again...ON again!

We are back on for Minneapolis!!!
I am so stoked I wrote a song called "I love to play rock and roll music everyday"

it goes like do do de de de de do do dede

That's September 10th at the Terminal Bar with P. Skunk and Great Girls Blouse

Mad Rockin

Hey. We're opening for URBAN BLUES DEVELOPMENT tomorrow night at the Mad Rock Pub. It's also Sir Charles Luden's birthday tomorrow. Come down early and stay all night, should be a good time.

On a sadder note. We had to cancel the Minneapolis show due to personal and gas price reasons. Hopefully we'll make it up there in the near future.
