We just got word from the OC Music Awards that we’ve been nominated for an OC Music Award in the “Best Indie” category. Ironically, we’ve been “pitted against” a lot our friends: The New Limb, The Steelwells, The Union Line and Young The Giant. It’s kinda like playing a heavily wagered round of golf with close friends — really fun, kinda uncomfortable, and undoubtedly ends with a reminiscing round of stiff drinks.
We also have a showcase coming up in a few weeks for the “Best Live Band” category. Here’s all the details on that show:
Tues. 2/16, 7:30pm – Gypsy Lounge, Lake Forest (FREE, 21+)
8:00 Duress (Huntington Beach)
8:45 The New Limb (Costa Mesa)
9:30 Dusty Rhodes and the River Band (Fullerton)
10:15 Stereofix (Costa Mesa)
11:00 The Color Turning (Santa Ana)
Crowd support is definitely considered by the judges so it would be nice to see as many of your pretty faces as possible.

Hey guys…we’re playing Cannibal Flower this Saturday. A lot of great artists will be on display, and we’re the only live musical act of the night. Should be a lot of fun. It’s all ages too. 724 S. Spring St. 14th Floor, Los Angeles.

Remixes are fun.
Well, let me rephrase that. Good remixes are fun.
Ramsey Dau, a.k.a. False Future, recently remixed “Where The Sky Ends” off our LP Good Hands Bad Blood.
After hearing this edit, we’ve been mulling over releasing an actual remix record. We’ll see what happens. I might try my hand at one of the other songs.

San Diego. Ah yes, beautiful San Diego at the beautiful Beauty Bar on December 18th. Complete with beautiful weather, beautiful people and beautiful beautifulness. Become beautiful with us, won’t you?
Check out the flyer. It’s our friends’ Helen Earth Band’s CD release party. And yes, they are beautiful too.

This is a rework of a song called “Ghost Song” off of our Good Hands Bad Blood LP. Filmed and recorded on October 30, 2009. It may be available for release in the near future along with other various LP remixes.

Not many people had a chance to see this (since I only posted it to our Twitter account), so I thought I would bring it back from the dead. Scientists around the globe having been calling me regarding this frisbee experiment. It’s life saving stuff. It took place in Oregon at the Rowena Crest / Columbia River Gorge during August 2009 West Coast Tour.

I’m a big fan of girls but this show might hold the record for “the most good looking dude musicians in one venue” category. Case in point: The Shys (to my right) – I mean look at these lads. Secondly, we’ve toured with Yellow Red Sparks so I’ve seen them in their underwear. It’s awesome. Anyways…
KROQ presents The Shys with The Steelwells, Yellow Red Sparks, Aushua, and The Color Turning
Thursday 10/29/2009
Doors: 07:00 PM
Show: 08:00 PM
Price: $12.50 – GA – Advance
Ages: all
Let me translate the latter for you. If you buy a ticket through the House of Blues Anaheim/Ticketmaster, you spend $12.50 + $6.10 in extra charges. If you buy a ticket at the door the day of the show, you’ll be spending $15.50. BUT! (In my best Billy Mays *R.I.P.* voice) If you buy a presale ticket through us, it will only cost you $10.30. Simple math. You can pick up your ticket at will call the day of the show.
Presale Tickets: House of Blues, October 29, 2009 ($10.30)
IMPORTANT: Credit card users — please bring proper ID & the credit card used to purchase the tickets to will call for verification. Paypal users — simply bring ID to will call so the friendly staff at the HOB can match it your name.

This is our first all ages show in Orange County is a very long time. It should be good as we’re sharing the stage with The Jealous Sound. Start your week off right and curl up next to a combo amp…Anaheim in calling your name.

Ladies and Gentlemen…today we have a photo set from our Red Devil Lounge show in San Francisco with Foxtail Somersault, Tomihira, and Tracing Figures. And as you can tell from my awkward facial hair, it was the last show of our August tour. Big thank you to photographer Tom Becker. Enjoy.
