hi

Dear everyone ,
we have all been super buzy and have put music on the back burner, but with time freeing up we will be rocking the house again. New shows, song , videos and a new E.p. will hopefully on the way very soon.

Love Louie .
P.s. i miss you all so much.

the new songs approach

ever since our back to back shows, we've been aching to play again... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT!

currently we're working on a slew of new songs... which is taking on a new sound. exciting stuff... stay tuned!

heads up on Silver Lake traffic tonight

Depending on which direction you're coming from, traffic might be unpredictable through Silver Lake (towards Echo Park).

There is a Prop 8 demonstration meeting up at 6:00 pm on the corner of the intersection of Sunset & Santa Monica Blvd (Sunset Junction) and will be marching through Silver Lake. There's also the Silver Lake Art Crawl, so traffic might get thick, might not... but it's best to be prepared!

Tonight's show starts at 9-ish, so we hope to see you there!

a mention from Echo Curio's e-newsletter ... they're so nice!

Saturday, November 8th - Evening Show with

THE MILES APPROACH + DIRT DRESS + DOWNTOWN / UNION + BASTIDAS

THE MILES APPROACH killed us dead the first time they played here, mixing raw pop rock with smooth harmonies and sweet sweet keyboard blasts. We can only imagine what they have evolved into over the last couple of months. BASTIDAS return to prove that the power trio is still the best way to perform spaced out garage rock, which is only enhanced by their light show and their machine of a drummer. We haven't met the other two acts but we're pretty darn psyched, cuz if MILES likes 'em, they gotta be good.

blue rooster - 5 yrs old

the art supply store on vermont, blue rooster, turned 5 this weekend. they collaborated with the hair salon next door to create a "backyard" party in their parking lot. it was a well organized affair and great vibe. lots of different peeps from both retail spots, but also passers-by who were down for a great party with free booze, jamz, and a place to congregate, and just be.
tiki torches & paper laterns welcomed people in. louie and drew rode up with their fixie stylee. by the time i got there, party was already poppin' and micro-brew on tap was flowin. when the beer ran out, we opted for the green tea sake, which was delicioso. it was there where crate digger, joelquiz, informed us of plans for a miles approach vid he'd like to pen. even before hearing his informal proposal, we said an enthusiastic YES! we'll have that upcoming, but for now, some pix from the nite.



green tea sake... yum!

free shows at the getty: no age, brother reade

the curator from flavorpill's fridays off the 405 is in the know. she booked no age on 6/27/08, so louie and i started my b-day weekend with a baddass free show from no age at the pristine getty museum.






i've already posted about dan deacon at the getty, but here's a couple of my own photos from the event.

dan deacon's set up:


brother reade:

Get The Party Started

Drw and I spun the wax at Piry birthday party this weekend. Piry plays in the band Family Tree Analog and is a cool guy . It was super cool . There was like 5 bands that played and we were spinning between the bands . We just kept the party going between the bands.

Drw and I will be spinning August, 15 2008 at The Light Gallery show presented by Tondeux-Manille in Costa Mesa California. Die Rockers Die are playing so this should a cool show to drive out to the OC for .

We are working on new song can't wait to play out

peace out ,Louie

dan deacon at the getty

there was one of those free shows at the getty last week friday... while drew joined the midnight ridazz with a bunch of friends, louie and i witnessed the "dan deacon experience"... it's basically just one dude with a bunch of electronic manipulators and 2 mics. he's one of the star punker party starters from the baltimore scene and he knows how to manipulate an audience just as well as he manipulates his table full of pedals & thingies.
there was a huge elaborate stage and lighting set-up that he didn't even use. brother reade used it later for a more mellow show.
you can see dan deacon footage here... it's gets really "cloverfield" from 1:05 - 3:35, so fast forward if you don't wanna get sick and throw up... at 5:09, his banter is hilarious as he goes into another crazily fast-paced, high-pitched tune.

you'll see why getty security started freaking out...

random thoughts

saw 'kung fu panda' last night. best animated movie i've seen. very funny. only a little saturated in asian/buddhist humor. it did bare a very close resemblance to the 1979 kung fu movie "magnificent butcher" starring Sammo Hung, in which there's a terribly racist scene which i'm not going to spoil for you. it'll make you think/say/feel: "i'm laughing, but i know it's wrong, and why am i sweating, oh my god, this is too funny because it's soooooo wrong"

for you crazy drivers in kalifornia, you can get a free headset (you just pay for shipping) from FreeHeadset.org. how many of you law-abiding citizens have tried this thing? louie tried it and he got his like the next day! it renewed my faith in humanity and it might do the same for you.

now why can't they have FreeDVDconverterBox.org? why do i need $40 coupon to go from lo-fi to hi-fi? how freakin' expensive are those converter box thingies? how do i choose which brand and model?

are you ready for the "dark knight"? yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

stay thirsty my friends

Peace Out ........Louie
