those antlers are going places

2009 has seen the world economy crumble due to the unethical practices of businessmen and corporate oligarchy. The current administration with the assistance of Ben Bernanke, Chairman of the United States Federal Reserve, has reached out to the Frodus Conglomerate International for aid. Calls were made, doors were closed and numbers adjusted. After weeks of vicious negotiation both parties agreed on a proper course of action.

The Frodus Conglomerate International will address the public for the first time in 10 years on Saturday March 21st, 2009 at 4:35 pm in Austin, Texas. Austin will be the first of several public forums to address current global conditions forewarned by the FCI in years past. The Conglomerate has employed Liam Wilson of the Dillinger Escape Plan to supply bass guitar for this address while Nathan Burke organizes his North-West Contingency. We are the economic police.

san diego today dudes

I added a new song to the purevolume site. download it because I don't plan to leave it up...seriously. I tried to cover a song by the owls and make it simpler, but it ended up sounding jen wood-ish.....
LISTEN

Do you even know what this means? I'm stoked!

new band. new music. let's finally get this started. let's get in touch and arrange some shows. "suspicion breeds confidence."

@ a pizza place: day 2

damian & keith morris

come on out to this. it's going to be insane, and for a good cause. The special guests will be revealed the week of the show, so stay tuned. let's hang

okay, i know i've been on a video posting binge, but this one is totally worth it. i know the year just started, but I already consider this the video of the year. you have no idea. i've been waiting for this guy to re-surface for about six years. he actually played in a band with ryan from the previous video. if you're not sure who it is, then the guitar noodling parts/fills will probably give it away. this vid just made my day/year and I wish him all the best. get stoked!

this was always my favorite ambulette song. i was kind of bummed out that it didn't end up on there EP. they did record it for their capitol records debut/capiol demos, but it looks like nobody will get to hear it now, or ever. bummed out again.
useless fact: ryan(drums) and matt(guitar) were members of joan of arc at one point.

blitz!? sweeeeeet
*it should also be noted that this show went on for 12 hours...no joke

thorns of life: day 2

secret Thorns show with Off With Their Heads happening right now in long beach

thorns of life playing at my mom's old workplace

upcoming shows

be there at noon.

i'm convinced that Josh Freese has played drums on every record ever made. I'm also sure that he is aware of about 10% of them

soon...

so there's music posted on the national league site again. a new recording is among those that are up; it's a cover. I've started to record again, so hopefully there will be an ep to "release" by the start of summer.
you can download the same songs on the PUREVOLUME site, since there is no way to allow downloading on the other site. I wouldn't recommend streaming it though, the quality on purevolume sounds like water.
