Forget Tricks, I Want Treats

If there's anything we like more than music, it's probably cake. Our girl Julia makes the best cakes, desserts, etc. that we've ever had the pleasure of indulging in. She's got a website and a blog up now where you can follow her delicious adventures, and contact her about making something special for you. Julia.. we're waiting on some carrot cake for our 1-year birthday party!!

We Are The Champions

Wo0oho0o JEFF has finally announced the deetz on their new full length that will be coming out sometime in early 2011, again on their Infinity Cat imprint. Should be full of heavy azz jams, and hopefully they'll be coming to Carbondale with copies in hand in the not-too-distant future. Here is the track list, and a sneak peak of the track "Diamond Way", which is also on their split 7" w/ Ty Segall. Shit rules!

Working the kinks out of the 8-track I just got.. convinced Lizard to finally record one of her songs. Recruited C-Klarer, B-Haley, and J-Sittarz to back her up. Hopefully there will be a lot more where this came from..

Here is a video of we took of two songs off Ty's new record. We've been working on bringing him back through in the near future.. fingers crossed it'll happen soon.

TWEAK BIRD S/T LP

Been waitin' a long time for the right time to say this.. and the time is now. Tweak Bird have finally dropped their S/T LP (on glow in the dark vinyl btw) in both the US and Europe. Plus, they've got this killer video made by our very own Marcus Mader to go along with it. They're on a big ol' trip across the finer continent right now, hopefully they'll come back soon and bring some copies of the LP along with them.
