I'm pooped

I don't know about all of y'all, but I'm dragging today. It's hot hot hot in the Kansas City. I was up late rocking out at Jerry's Bait Shop (thanks to everyone who came out!), and I didn't sleep terribly well, and now I'm back at work trying to find some focus.

Last night's show was good. Our set got cut short, which was a bummer, so we only played two songs with Chad, our new guitarist: My Girl from Kinda Like Fireworks and our cover of Uptown Girl by Billy Joel! :) Both went over really well.

The lollipop factory rocked my world with their soccer pants, fitted t-s, wall of amps and tophat (singular.) It made me want to work on our look. That stuff doesn't come naturally to me, though.

Thankfully, it's almost lunch. A little walking and talking and eating will do me good.

Guided By Voices

OK, so I think I'm becoming a huge Guided By Voices fan. I don't know why it's taken me so long. I knew I would like them ('cuz Chris from .pointfive does), but for some reason I didn't check them out until now. I bought Bee Thousand and Isolation Drills from Needmore Discs because Colleen recommended those albums, and I like both extremes of production. The songs are just great, and Robert Pollard's lyrics are such a weird, perfect blend of focused abstraction.

So yeah, another great band! And I think GBV deserve the CONSUME EVERYTHING approach that I reserve for my favorites.

You can now buy Kinda Like Fireworks, our saucy second album, from Amazon MP3.

And at $7.99, it's even cheaper than on iTunes!

July Performances

Hello sportsfans!

Three shows this month! At each of these buggers, we'll be playing a number of nifty new tunes and introducing you to our new guitarist, Chad Toney! Chad brings a whole new level of rock and lead-line spaghetti to the band. We think he's very saucy, and we're sure you will, too!


Wednesday July 16 - The High Noon Saloon - Leavenworth, KS - 8pm

Jesse will be playing about 45 minutes worth of old, current and NEW tunes on his good old acoustic guitar. As far as we know, the show is free, but don't challenge him to a pistol duel if we're wrong!

The High Noon Saloon is located at 206 Choctaw St. in Leavenworth, KS


Thursday July 17 - The Brick - Kansas City, MO - 10pm

Chad's first show! We'll be playing two new songs: 1) "All Surface," a brooding, gorgeous number that alternates between spacious ambiance and full on DRIVE and 2) "I just need my car," a poppy, jangly tune about tying up the last loose ends after a messy break up... we'll also be whipping out our first COVER, of a tune that I will not name. You will love it. Those at our last show at Prospero's Books know what I'm talkin' 'bout.

We'll be playing with Merch, from San Francisco

The Brick is located at 1727 Mcgee St. in Kansas City, MO


Monday July 21 - Jerry's Bait Shop - Lee's Summit, MO - 8pm

This time we'll be rocking the suburbs as part of the Jerry's Bait Shop Midwest Music Showcase. We'll be playing with The Waystation and The Lollipop Factory. Jerry's is a very fun place to watch a show. We hope to see you there!

Jerry's is located at 302 SW Main St. in Lee's Summit, MO
