Hi! How are YOU doing? That's just great. Me too! hahahaha I wish I could say I had some epic reason why I haven't been updating the website, but the Truth is that I just don't care. It's not a priority right now, as looking for a house and packing up all my shit in plastic bins and making sweet, sweet music with my friends is a bit more important than coming on here and going blah blah blah about anything and everything that I wish to. There is some stuff to share though - some funny, some rad, and some pathetic. I'll leave it to you to decide what's what.
First off, look at this ad that Roy from the Black Jetts found on Craigslist this past Fri. under the Musicians category:
 I wish I could take credit for this, but I can't. Funny, right? And if it's true, well, that's just pathetic. Personally, I don't think it's true, but what do I know? I mean, is it possible for someone to be sooooooo hypocritical as to be all Anti-Authority and Punk Rock and whatever and then use the Cops to solve their problems for them? Well, I know of one little crybaby homo who did just that to me personally, but I never thought I'd see a second one pop up in the same city! LOL I mean, what are the odds? Why, that's just as silly as someone's band putting on an Anti-Barfest gig and then playing any bar that would 'stupiedily' let them into the place! ;-) I contacted the person who posted this ad, and I know them, and I'm assured that it's all true, every single word written, and every single action described. tsk tsk tsk... Oh Chris, I thought you were better than that.
The less said about the Pixies the better. I was almost ashamed that so many of my male friends thought that the gig they just played was 'mind blowing' and 'amazing'. They fucking suck! Always have, always will. If you have a vagina it's OK to like them but if you're a dude, I mean, come on... less estrogen, more testosterone! LOL
When Marco and Hank! (the new way you pronounce and spell his name - by yelling it) get hyped on a gig, I usually pay attention. The last time I did that, I was turned on to the Legendary band Knife Fight, so now that those 2 pillars of punk rockedness are hyped on this upcoming Nails / Fleas / Ruined Tongue / Lluks gig @ Yayo Taco next week, you know I gotta be there to see what it's all about, and I think you should be there too!
Happy Belated Happy Birthday wishes to the amazing Lizzy, bass player extraordinaire for the new band Last Night's Heroes, who's Facebook page can be found by clicking here. Happy Birthday Liz! I definitely owe you a drink or 2 or 3. ;-)
There's some sort of benefit show happening at East Side Joe's this weekend, for some guy who has Cancer. The State Streets are playing. I know nothing more than that about it, but if I get some more info about it I'll let you know. And did I see that my favorite band of shit talking hypocrite Feministas the Broads played a gig @ Yayo Taco this past Monday? Wowsers. Seems to be missing some people too, if this Myspace band page is a real one, which I don't think it is, but it is the only one that pops up when you do a search on them. Their old band Myspace page is strangely gone. ::sigh:: Some bands just need to realize that a name change is in order before you can begin anew. Too much baggage associated with an old name will only hinder, not help, but hey, what do I know? Good Luck drama queens - you're gonna need it.
Everything is updated, I think. Dragons pictures are posted. Auf wiedersehen and verpiss dich to a real piece of scheisse that just left Las Vegas with his tail tucked between his legs and with every bridge he had left in this town burned to the ground, off to San Diego to find some fresh people to lie to and to find a scene that will accept him and his steady stream of bullshit that comes out of his mouth, something that I hear that he's into... heh heh heh. To that foze I say, ficken dich. Du bist ein verdammter Wichser, ya know? If you're lucky, Karma will get to you before I do, and that's all I gotta say about that. Believe that. Off to go pack some more stuff up. Toodles! :-)
YES ! I do believe that we're coming even closer to getting this recording released. It's scheduled to be in your grubby lil' paws sometime around Valentine's Day, if not sooner, and it would make a great gift for someone that you care about. Hell, it makes for good background music to fuck by... all that Loud Pipes noise will cover up your grunts and groans as you have sex! Hahahaha Social Distortion was lots of fun on Tuesday... you can see the Pictures here, and you can read about it here. Major thanks to The Missing 23rd for inviting us to the gig...we should get together and play a show soon. Oh yeah, the Yaphet Kotto Show Review is up here, and I posted some pictures of The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower on a new Balcony Lights Photo page, which can be ogled at here. I was gonna go to the opening of Sultan's Table, the new all ages place here in town, but I was told by a few people that this Emo show happening there was gonna be lame, so I stayed home and watched The Chappelle Show instead, which was sooo fucking funny... The Niggar Family... lol. Anyways, there's lots going on this weekend... it's only 9 more days until our show with Knife Fight & Street Trash, and I can only hope that this good show is as packed with kids as that lame Yaphet Kotto show was. One can only dream...
OK... a few things worth mentioning are the upcoming shows... one this Saturday @ Doggystyle with The Shaws / Jr. Anti-Sex League / Chemical Ex, which Tony tells me is some all girl band that reminded him of Depeche Mode, so it should be an interesting night. Our other big gig is on MY birthday weekend, and if you didn't see the flyer for our show with Knife Fight and Street Trash @ Balcony Lights on the way in here, well then you need to lay off the crack pipe, buddy! As far as I know, our show with the Supersuckers is still at the Boston, and I have no idea what's up with the Sub/Hum/Ans show @ The Huntridge, but it should be FUN! I posted a few more Reviews... and some more Pictures to my never ending collage... updated the Gigs Listing... and that's about it. Oh yeah... anyone interested in being put on my mailing list, please send me an E-mail to ge138@onethirtyeight.org with all your information, and I'll add you to my semi-regular mailings... which will be sent out just to let you know what's going on here in onethirtyeight land, and as well as keeping you updated on The Loud Pipes and all the shit that we do. Hope to see you all at the show on Saturday!!!
Allrighty then... here's the news - after a fierce session of negotiations, me and The Loud Pipes have amicably resolved our differences and are now a cohesive unit again. Anyone answering the ad in the City Life for a drummer with a jovial disposition should consider the position filled. Good thing that Jenn told me about the ad, otherwise I'd of never seen or known about it. Uhhm... we're playing a show on Sat. Jan. 17 @ Doggystyle with The Shaws and Jr. Anti-Sex League, and you should all come out to see us perform. We're also playing some time soon with Knife Fight & Street Trash @ Balcony Lights, but I'm not sure of the date. I'd go to some shows, but my car is stuck in park, so I'm trapped at home for now. And other than that... so far so good for the New Year!
Days later and I'm still amazed at how GREAT Knife Fight was at Balcony Lights... that shit was history in the making, and if you weren't there to witness it, I feel very sorry for you indeed. Click here for the Show Review... uhmm... I believe that the demo is FINALLY done, and thanks to the Youth Crew of Devon, Spencer, Bobby, Amanda, Marco and Rick for help on the back up vocals for Insurrection... but where was Hank? Boooooooooo We all got together at the Club House and had a BBQ and just hung out and listened to punk rock RECORDS and looked at pictures of the Knife Fight show and of our last trip to California, which Rick took. I wish I knew where the fuck my camera was with the pictures I took of our last trip... I'm gonna post them all on this website when I find them, so you all can see the hookers that wanted a piece of Rick & Bryan... hahahaha. Speaking of hookers that want Bryan, thanks to La Femmes Sidney, Stephanie and Angie for hanging out with me and having fun being silly at the Office Bar. Ran into Jason & Brooke while at the Double Down and she told me that the Rock is closing for remodeling? Or is it because of the killings that just happened there? Is that true? Wowsers. What with all the rumors of clubs closing down and some of them making the change to 21 and over, I can't help but feel that things are getting sketchy here in Sin City. Good thing football and hockey season are here... heh heh heh Go Raiders! Go Sharks! Bay Area Stylee Baby!
