We didn't get to play last night but we went to the house show anyways. Apparently there were enough bands on the bill already and they wanted the show to end at a certain time. So no magick! Its all cool. We had so much fun though. The room was small where the bands played and it was hot as fuck but the music made up for it. We got there just in time to see The Girl With Violent Arms (STA ROSA) do an improv set with a drummer (at least the last part of it!). Universal Studios Florida (SEATTLE), Alaskas (SEATTLE) and Exasperation Missionary (STA ROSA) played afterwards. They were all such great acts and they all played such intense sets despite of the small room (imagine the funkysmell???)).

Rhea managed to interview some of the bands for the distro and this documentation we are doing about house shows and all-ages venues. We also got to meet Will, who volunteers at the local zine library and gave him some of our stuff. Then we pretty much just chilled and went back to Mario's (The Girl With Violent Arms) pad where we stayed overnight. And now its morning and today we are heading to Sacramento to see if we can talk to the Governor!

Fucking allergies!

BERKELEY, CA

So we played last night on Shamans Den which is Frank Moore's show at www.luver.com
We played and recorded the set with Frank, who was playing the piano. Afterwards, Frank and his wife Linda did an interview of us and we talked about lots of stuff. I think you might be able to hear it archived at their website. They also gave us zines and CD that they wanna have available at the OPEN MIND DEAD Distro. Afterwards, we then met up with our roomie, Andrew and his BF, Joey to go and check out the great gay parts of San Francisco. Its so gay, rainbow flags are flying everywhere!

AUG 7 SHOW RESCHEDULED!!!!

ALAS! The magick has been intercepted by powers beyond our control.....the tour kickoff that was scheduled for tomorrow, Friday August 7th has been CANCELLED. It seems that the owner of our Malo Funhouse will be in town for the weekend and is staying in the studio on the same property. This means that magick, bands, friends and fun will just have to wait until we get back. Don't worry - we WILL celebrate and have the show soon. Look for an update from us about the exact date of the rescheduled show, but we are aiming for the first weekend in September.

In the meantime, check out the amazing bands we were ridiculously excited to play with:
Tan Dollar, The Guppies and Michael Nhat.

And here's an image to sum up how we feel about all this:

We hope to see some of you at our shows as we head north for the next two weeks!!!

MALO FUNHOUSE TOUR KICK OFF SHOW

So we will be leaving for our little tour up the Northwest on Saturday. Still got some open dates but we are crossing our fingers and just going for it. IF IF IF there is any way you can help us with AUGUST 10(NORCAL, SACRAMENTO), 11(EUGENE, OREGON) 12 and 13 (PORTLAND) please let us know. We wo uld really appreciate it. Anyways, we're gonna have a kick off show at The Malo Funhouse where we live with Michael Nhat, Tan Dollar and Guppies, who just finished their new record. But just to make it clear, its not a party like usual, but a SHOW. Meaning it starts at 9PM sharp and we go on FIRST. We are also asking a 2 dollar donation to help us out on our tour. Its not much and its pretty much worth the music and fun you'll be having. And then after that, we'll be heading onwards to Berkeley on Saturday morning for Frank Moore's cable access show at 8PM at night.
We are getting stuff ready mostly for the Zine Fest too but we are also planning to stop by some college radio/web radio stations to drop by copies of a compilation we are making to promote the distro.
