Playing at The Southern, Baby!

We're playing at The Southern this weekend with Nobis and Ladybug Transistor.

I'm listening to The Yummy Fur at work and it makes work better.

Check out this cool article about Nobis. They came to America fleeing a radioactive tsunami! I feel really guilty about thinking this, but that's the coolest band back-story I've ever heard!

Us and Ladybug Transistor at the Southern

Aww shit! Tell Spencer to send the zords, because we're playing a "high profile" show! (Update - and NOBIS has been added, ぴょん！)

It's going to be,  you know, full of "industry types" scoping us out, though. You should probably stay away from this one, because for the sake of your future scene cred you will want to be able to say that you stopped listening to us around March 2011, and that once we started to get famous we turned into dicks and our music suffered. I don't think they'll even let regular people in, honestly. I think you have to be somebody important.

Oh, and in the interest of completeness, here's another flier for this show...(I haven't added Nobis to this one yet. Epic zombie fail lol!) 

...and here's one for an old show that I never posted - a quickie that I threw together the day of our CD release last month.

Borrowed Beams

As promised! Here's some Borrowed Beams of Light video from when we played with them at The Southern.

Here they are sound-checking.

Then in this one they are playing a song. I don't know what this song is called, though.

I'm packing for my trip, and I'll post more when I get back!

A Few Photos

I'm trying to get stuff off my phone/camera before I go on vacation next week, so I have room to take and store lots of new pictures, so I'm going to try to post stuff that's been accumulating here in the upcoming days. First, some pictures from last Friday.s show at The Southern.

I should have some videos to post soon!

Bandcamp

This one time at bandcamp the Posters rocked you so hard it broke both your arms! Their melodies were so sweet you got diabetes, and their lyrics were so brilliant you got skin cancer!

Not long after that, you died.

Our new record is available for free streaming and paid download at our Bandcamp page, and so is our old one.

In lieu of flowers, please come to our release show at The Southern this Friday, May 27th.

Videos of Bands

If you're not familiar with any of the bands for the upcoming release show, here's a youtube style primer.

The Astronomers:

I think the guy on the left is playing through a Matchless DC30, but I can't really tell because he's standing in front of it. If it is a DC30, and it's Mark Sampson era, that's a really good amp. Supposedly one of the best ever made. 

Here's local darlings Borrowed Beams of Light:

Here's local ne'er-do-wells us. Note that Youtube metadata points out This video has no honors:

Get Ready!

It's going to get real on Friday, May 27th 2011, at The Southern. Buy your tickets in advance, homie!

Borrowed Beams of Light open, and then us officially releasing our new fifteen-song opus Cats II, followed by The Astronomers unleashing their new record Size Matters. Not to pick a fight, but if size really matters you may want to note that our cd is fifteen songs and theirs is ten. Borrowed Beams' cd, released last year, is like five songs, which is so short it's practically an innie!

Everyone's going to be there, and it'll be the place to be seen in Charlottesville. If you don't go then in September people will be all like "Dude, you weren't in town for that?!? That was like the best show of the summer!" Then in December they'll be all like "Dude, you weren't there?!? That was like the best show of the whole year! I thought everybody was at that one!"
