Hey guys! Posts are going to be a little sparse over the next week because I am leaving town. We’ll be in Brooklyn tomorrow to play XX-XY with Kids At The Bar, VHSorBETA, John Bourke of Trash Yourself, Jesse Jamz & Whitney Fierce. It’s going to be a raging good time!
Then we’re hanging out in NYC until Thursday when we head to Atlanta to play with Le Castle Vania, Depressed Buttons (The Faint) and RRRUMP at their monthly FUCK YESSS party! We’re so pumped for that night!
After that we’re off to LA for a few days. No confirmed shows there yet. Anyone reading this want to book us to DJ your awesome party? Hit me up on the contact page!
I’ll still be checking the submissions and will try to post as much as I can so keep sending stuff!
This month’s XX-XY is going to be crrazy! If you’re in or around NYC, head down to Public Assembly this coming Saturday and go nuts with all of us!

Another great Robotic video from our favorite photo guy, Brandon Bales! Tonight we’re partying with Eli Smith at Robotic! We have a super great awesome tubular bodacious summer lineup that we’ll be telling you about soon! This summer will be awesome!
I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays and hopefully 2009 has treated all of you well.
2010 should be a good year with lots of things to look forward to. It’s pretty exciting that John Bourke is moving to ny and also Preston, the founder of KissAtlanta.com (the other blog i write for) is moving to ny as well. I’m sure we’ll all be getting into a lot of trouble.
I’m currently working on an EP which i hope to release by spring so I’m pretty excited about that.
I wish all of you a ridiculous and debaucherous NYE.
The girls coordinating this flash mob wanted us to help spread the word and how could we resist? Check out there website at robogals.org. What they’re doing is pretty cool.
Robogals Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, which aims to increase the number of girls undertaking science, engineering and technology courses at university. This is done by training university students in LEGO robotics and then having them go to primary schools to teach school girls what they have learnt.

“He [George Bush] deserves to be hit with 100, not just one or two shoes. Who wants him to come here?”
-A Baghdad resident
So this happened. An Iraqi reporter threw his shoes at President Bush. Pretty awesome, I think.
Already there are variations of what is being thrown, some of which are Pokemon balls, ninja cats, heads, balls and pie. You can see more on this web forum!
