"Well, if something is worth hearing, it’s worth doing right."

At some point I decided to stop with minimalistic garage noise punk. I had to be honest with myself, I get much to bored with things too quickly to make that the staple of my artistic career (pending). Not to disparage the style, it works for some people but I have found that it doesn't work for me. I have more in common with Yes than the Germs lets just put it that way.

What does that mean though for someone in L.A. I wonder.

Progressive music is annoying too in its exaggerated, bloated state, I find no pleasure in listening to 20 minute long epics with as many parts as there are seconds. So I'm trying to find a balance.

We've spent the better part of the year secluded, not sharing the work, not performing, honing ourselves and figuring out what we really want to do and I think we've finally come to a conclusion. I am worried about how it will be perceived but it is a aspect of art one must face. It reminds me of the interview between Damian Abraham and Mark Mothersbaugh that I read, where Devo spent a year developing away from the eyes of any public, emerging a already developed band. I found it interesting that they speculated something like that would never happen again. Invariably we might have become another exception.

Anyway, its a great article, read it.

I've given into ambition, its hard, but we've been putting enough work to make it perceivably good.

March 19th

Troubled Coast dropped out, but now were playing with Fed Up, Badmouth, Ballistic Rounds! Come to it if your reading this, it will be a good show.

No time for quotes.

I made this, come check us out, its $5.

And the sky was all violet.

I think I want to be a writer, I mean aside from the whole music bit, something to do on my downtime I guess...

Not sure what kind, probably not a novelist, but short stories would be fun.

This Saturday were playing a show at the L'KEG Gallery, come check us out.

That sun is over some hard-arm in the world.

Were playing with our homies Haunting Thoughts and awesome punk bands the Ignorant and Health Club.

I'm noticing an FLCL theme lately with me, but its a really good show, you could do yourself a service to check it out.

And this will be a good show too, all the bands are great and fun and its so cheap too, you would be a fool not to go.
