We heart him big time for this.  Like, really really big time.

Also, we’ve uploaded a new song – it’s raining and it’s tax day and it’s the 105th anniversary of the 1906 earthquake…if you need cheering up this is the song to do it. “The Happy Song”

Freakin’ Finally.

This is the first ever recorded release that has ever been made of our songs.
And we made it ourselves.
You heard me.

Thanks to the magical, mysterical, wonderful technology of today’s world, and Cristian’s hard work at learning all this awesome stuff about recording and mixing and mastering -
we were able to make this CD all on our own.

There are six songs on it. We are very proud of all of them and we can’t wait until you hear them.
One song was inspired by a pea plant – true story.

Thank you so much for your support and love for our music.  Take a listen to the EP and please (!) tell us what you think in the comments or on Facebook – we would love to hear from you.

love,
Jamie

Ok, that’s not really what this event is about, pure coincidence.  It really is the legit anniversary of my first mack-down though…been smoochin’ for 11 years and counting. Woot!

(who remembers shit like that? oh, people who write every moment of their life down…that’s who.)

Anyway.

Here is what is really happening tomorrow, and its gonna be AWESOME.

Fivepoints Arthouse – 72 Tehama St, one block south of Howard @ 2nd st. There is plenty of parking available on the street, as well as the parking lot across the street.

Cezar Kusik will be pouring fine wines in the wine banquet lounge and we have a full bar for those who prefer cocktails and beer. Bar opens at 7pm, music starts at 8pm. We suggest a $10 donation at the door for this evening of fine music.

Band Start Times:

8pm The Dunes
http://www.thedunesmusic.com/fr_home.cfm

The masters of Chaabi Funk Gnawa Rock Berber Rock Arab Reggae Groove bring their funkiness to Fivepoints! This six piece band hails from North Africa and Northern California, singing in Arabic, Amazigh, French and English, while playing the Algerian mandol, the Moroccan Gnawa guinbri, and various North African percussion instruments. They honed their chops on the Tunisian wedding circuit, what more can we say…

9pm The Scot Sier Experience
http://www.myspace.com/scotsier

The Scot Sier Experience brings their magical mix of musical mayhem, blending elements of all musical styles into a mash-up of sonic bliss. Pure psycho-funk-pop-punk-funk-metal-pop-rock-prog-delicious…try saying that five times really fast….

10pm Pocket Full of Rye (That’s us!)

11pm Eliza Rickman

Watch this – it is all you need to know.

BUT!  In no way do we mean to say we are stressed/tired/frustrated.  Life is sweet when you are doing what you love with people you luff*.

(*luff = love with a little extra fluffy)

In case you haven’t been able to come to our shows and say hi, here is what we’ve been up to lately:

We won 2nd place in the MNKY Productions Battle of the Bands!  You can check out pictures here:

(courtesy of Righter Imaging - thanks for making us look like rock stars, guys).

We are planning a show with the top three bands for the near future so keep an eye out for that – gonna be EPIC.

Our dear friend, Lucas, has returned to the land of espresso and cigarettes (that’s France).  This makes us very sad, but we had an awesome time playing him a special farewell show at USA Hostel. Those foreign kids are crazy…out of control in the best kind of way.  Here are some pictures of us playing in the Hostel’s kitchen:

And the madness doesn’t stop there…we have a ton of shows coming up in San Francisco.  If you can come, we would be so happy and excited!  We are making new stickers too so come on out and we will give you one for to stick somewhere…
