CURRENT NEWS

April 2009
We' re about to be sold out of "No place else to go" and we still have a bunch of "This coke's gone bad". a cd with probably some of our best songs on it. ANYWAY so were trying to just be sold out of everything to motivate us to write a new cd. so here is a SUPER SALE

What Shirt Style & Color & Size

Just enter the size and color you want. WE have the car design and the black eyed face in tons of colors and sizes. Look at our merch section for shirt color and size details. I'll probably have to e-mail you back our inventory if we dont have exactly what you want. but I check my e-mail everyday. ok love you bye OR just buy This Cokes gone bad for 3 dollars plus shipping.

This Coke's Gone Bad" - 6 Song E.p. from 2000 - This was ONLY 5 BUCKS PLUS SHIPPING- This cd was written with Marq Schram of the Vent-o-lators and now of The Inerest Kills. This cd actually almost got us a few record deals but we were too lazy at the time to jump on them.
February 2009
WELL BUTT TASTIC - Sorry I havent updated the page in a year and a half. MY BAD. well some things have changed. Two ex members are married. Long time drummer,Denny,got married to his long time girlfriend Candy. and Our short term guitarist Barrett got married to his short termed girlfriend. Matt and I didn't get invitations to either wedding haha. Bill went to barret's wedding. and cried. it was beautiful he said. haha

Weve got some sweet shows coming up like always. check out the shows section. or just go to our myspace cuz i update that.

Well I - scott- am currently specializing in being a loser with a side of sleeping. Everything is falling apart and i have no life or friends. I might tour the world with a camera and make a documentary called too bored-a 30 year old loser looking for the meaning of life by interviewing other losers..

Matt is still a swim team coach and looking for ladies like always. hit him up if you want him to hit that up.

Bill is living in austin going to school and working .

COMBINED WE ARE NEVER FINISHING THE CD AND NOT MAKING UP NEW SONGS. we did almost finish one the other day though.




July 2007
WOw almost a year since I updated the site. WOO HOO. well having a band where everyone lives in different cities sucks. Don't do it ever. Aug 3rd-5th were supposed to go back to the studio and try and finish up the 10 songs we started. I don't know if this will be possible but we will try. As far as the cd. It will probably never get done because it is hard to write songs when the band only gets together to play shows or to practice one time a year or so. and even then it might just be a small pressing since we hardly play shows and there's not really a point in making a thousand.

Everyone is doing fine and dandy.
Barrett just got back from over a month in the Dominican Republic helping people.

Bill is going back to college in Austin

Matt is coaching swimming and hanging out by himself a lot in houston.

And i am in Houston contemplating what the hell I'm going to do with my life. I doubt I'm going to get a teaching job. Most the people I hang out with are moving to Austin. and the future looks pretty lame. if I stay in Houston I'm starting a new band that practices at least 3 times a week. and it will be good..


October 2006
We'll sorry I never update this. Big news. Our new full length is underway. we've started recording ten songs at Lucky Run Studios in Katy. We're sad we can't record with Brandon, at Foundation Sound, again but with our current schedules traveling to dallas wasnt an option to record this time. So we have to stay near home. So far we've started recording 5 new songs, violent femmes, and the last 4 songs we had out on compilations. After we finish these well probably record 5-10 more songs and release it around Christmas.

Why is it taking so long? Well if you didnt know Barrett is going to UT so Bill moved in with him. Matt is in Huntsville- he graduates in december. And i'm student teaching-- not getting paid and teaching everyday. FUN. but i'll have my teaching certificate in December and then my Master's degree after two more classes. Good times.

So we're all spread out and never see each other. or practice. not cool. but I think this cd will be our best ever. it might not tell a story or all the songs might not fit together or even be kind of similar. but it will rock. Thats why were going to add 5-10 more songs to kind of gel the rest of the songs together. ok love you.

Also we have some super awesome shows lined up for October. i suggest you go to them.


April 2006

HMm not really any news
My birthday is November 8th. Im scott. I'll be too old to do anything now. My life is over. Sike. ill still be a total loser playing crappy shows. Don't Worry.

SCOTT GRADUATED COLLEGE AND WE SIGNED A DEAL
Oh yes it finally happened. I almost went to college as long as Tommy Boy. Last monday I went and took my last final for my last class. Oh the joy. I will miss San Marcos dearly though. i recommend going to Texas State to everyone. EVERYONE.

WE SIGNED A DEAL - We signed a licensing deal with RUMBLEFISH. What they do is get our music in commercials, movies, tv shows, extreme sports videos - Things like that. It rocks. So if you hear our songs in some underware commercial or something let us know. Now were waiting on a huge label to sign us. It won't be long. or yes it will. or no it wont. were going to be famous.
