100% Salgexicon Approved!

While this is not in any way to be construed as an endorsement, yes that *is* The Spine from Steam Powered Giraffe posing with our merch girl Roka, and yes those are two copies of our first full-length cd “Necrodancer” that he purchased after watching our show.

Stromboli is leaking!

No, not just because I ams dead.  I have procured a sneaky-sneak preview of the album and I am leaking it all over the interwebs like good managers do, so you guys are all hyped up for our release party this weekend at the 3rd Annual Galloween show.

Black Goat!!!

What you see here is the first second pirated copy of or first studio album, Necrodancer.  Actual physical for sale type copies of the album will be ordered Monday when we return from the Northern California Renaissance Faire. Exciting times, and we hope to see you guys at the CD release party! Galloween III!

Gilroy, Pavel is in you, and new drums soon.

Yesterday was quite the eventful day, and only mostly wasted. Pavel learned that he should phone in an optometrist appointment before driving half an hour across town for his prescription confirmation.  The only prescription he has for this weekend is more cowbell. He also learned that public transportation in San Pedro kind of blows due to the amount of tweakers riding.

After a day of futility and 4 hour oil changes,  it was time to grab Mischa and head to Faire.  A 6 hour drive became 7 when we decided to stop at a guitar center for a quick (HAH!) purchase of a tambourine. What did we find? Besides an awesome tambourine? Right as you walk in the doors, on clearance,  was a used set of congas,  including a matching pair of bongos,  for $230.00! They are so gorgeous.  I will have them after this weekend.  My set has been sounding tired of late, and I know the heads are mostly dead. This new set says ‘used,’ but aside from one or two small scuffs they are nearly pristine.  I am excite! I will post a picture shortly. For now, time to get ready for faire!

New Gigs! Big News!

So, now that we’ve all decompressed properly from the Sharknado of Awesome™ that was the Big Bear Renaissance Faire, I want to announce some new upcoming gigs. 

HOLY CRAP SHITBALLS WE ARE GONNA PLAY NORTHERN CALIFORNIA RENAISSANCE FAIRE!!!!!!11!!!SHIFT-ONE1!!!!

*ahem*

Yep. True story, bro. We are booked two weekends. September 28-29, and October 5-6. Stage times will be added when we get them. We know most of you are relatively local to Southern California, but if you have friends/family in Nor Cal, please pimp us out like the cheap girls on the side of the street with the busted streetlamp. We’re also working on getting some new merchandise available, and the album, while not ready in time for Northern, is just about ready for final mastering. We’re really excited about that.

No date has been set in stone yet, but we are working on a show at DBA in Pomona in November. We shall let you know when that happens!

Lastly, we shot a video at rehearsal last night to promo our Northern Faire gig. It’s up on the facebook page here, and it’s currently uploading to youtube as well. Once its finished, I’ll post it here as well.

Na Zdrovya!

Big Bear Weekend #2

Big Bear Faire was awesome this past weekend. Not only were all of you that came and supported us amazing, the faire itself was just on a damn roll. Highest take in over 5 years, with the proceeds going to scholarships for local children. It feels really good to be a part of something like that. One more weekend to go, and I can’t even articulate how excited the rest of the band and I are about that. 1st weekend was damn fun, this last weekend was holy shit cool, and if the trend continues, our faces might actually melt off Raiders of the Lost Ark-style live on stage. So get your sweet asses to Big Bear this weekend. Drive to Fawnskin. Go to the Faire. Sit at the Vixen’s and Vagabond’s stage. Bring plastic bags if you are gonna sit in the splash zone.

Here are a few pictures from second weekend for you little boils and ghouls.

Hey, who are those guys? They look cool.

Awesome gypsy violin is awesome. Nadija is pretty sweet, too.

Image
Uncle shows off his angry face.

Image
Vlad farted while my mouth was open. At least it was in tune.

Image
Gypsy King of the undead gypsies.

Image
Is that Queen Elizabeth arriving to the Faire in a time-travelling DeLorean, being assisted out by The Doctor? Why yes. Yes it is.

Image
Gogu: “Holy craps! The Queen-Face just got helped out of a Time-Travelling DeLorean by The Doctor! Big Bear Faire is the best Ren Faire ever, and you should all come to final weekend!”

Don’t argue with Gogu. He knows curses and hexes and shit. Come to the Faire. Think of the childrens. So tender. So Tasty.

And come drool over the DeLorean, just like the rest of us.
