The other night, Ben and I separately ventured out to see Woozyhelmet and Young Mammals rock out at Mango’s. The show was to have been headlined by Thee Oh Sees, but they cancelled due to illness. Given the last minute loss, the show price was quickly reduced to zero. Given that price, I resolved that I would still attend.

Unfortunately, two other bands were also added to the bill, which wouldn’t have been so bad if I wasn’t 35 years old and could stay awake past midnight. Woozyhelmet didn’t go on until 11:45, so I wasn’t able to stick around and watch Young Mammals.

Lucky for me, I was still able to read about the show and see some choice photos thanks to our pal Ramon Medina and his review at 29-95.com.

Here’s me in the Polo cap and GNR shirt (Ramon called a “fucking hipster”! in the caption).

And here’s Jay Crossley from Woozyhelmet (left) with another pal of ours, Mr. Dunnock. Notice anything interesting about Jay’s shirt?

Mango’s was awesome, by the way. I hadn’t been there in six or seven years, but I was very pleased to see the considerable improvements. I can’t wait to play there.

Since I’m in a rock band, my dreams might very well come true quite soon.

If you’re reading this in your feed reader or on Myspace/Facebook, you can’t really see it. But we’ve redesigned this place to merge our old site with our Blogger blog into this brand-new, Wordpress-powered wonderland. If you were a subscriber to our old blog, you won’t have to change a thing. The feed remains the same. We’ve also imported all the posts from the old blog.

Everything else is new, including our swell new banner and logo (good job, Chris!). This comes only a few days after our guitar genius, Ben Murphy, gave our Myspace page a good scrubbing and added some new jams. Because we’ve recorded a ton of new music and started playing more shows, we figured it was high-time we treated ourselves a facelift.

Finally, we’ve confirmed two new shows on back-to-back weekends in early November. You can get those details on the new Shows page.

As always, we hope to see you there.
