"I am officially a minni-thin! My first show with them will be Jan. 30th at the Southgate House. If you've heard their ep you know how great of a band these guys are, I am hoping to add to their already perfect sound with some synth, piano and all sorts of instruments."

Can't wait for practice, Wells!

Stuff

Hey, everyone!

Not a bad show at York Street last night, And Andy had a nice set, and Chase lounge was fantastic. Hope everyone who got a CD enjoyed it. No two covers were alike, and there were no duplicates, so each cover was completely original and unique.

Apologies to Susan who was credited as "Sarah" on the CDs. She's a swell sound guy, whatever her name is!

Our next confirmed show is at The Southgate House Friday, January 30, opening for Formerly Known As Nothing. (Thanks for driving all the way down to see us, James!)

Live MP3s coming soon.

Free Live CDs!

So, Jeremy and I spent about 5 hours making CDs last night. They look great so far! Make sure you come out early to York St. on Saturday(we play @ 9:00)... We'll have around 30 CDs with custom artwork to give away. Who knows? You could end up with hand painted Hiroshima Majesty cover or maybe even a slightly pornographic Paris Hilton cover.

Minni-Thins Live Album

The first thirty people to arrive to the big rock show this Saturday at York Street Cafe will receive a copy of our new live album, which was recorded last Wednsday.

It's ten tracks of pure rock.

The track list is:
Punk Rock Superhero
Debutaunts
Yor Song
Hiroshima Majesty
Ugly Uda
Bark Is Brass
Jean Skirt
Mad Matador
Winter Wonderland
Call Me

We're on around nine, And Andy is next, and Chase Lounge tops the night off. Hope to see you there!

My love for you is ticking clock...

Last night's show at York Street was our best yet. We opened strong with Punk Rock Superhero and were spot on from there, if I may be so bold.

The entire thing is on Steve's DAT, so providing it came out, you'll get to hear it right here, including our new song, "Call Me," and the Minni-Thins' take on Winter Wonderland. Cross your fingers, we're going to check it out tonight.

Thanks to those who were able to attend, Justin of York, Chia-Wen (for coming to every show ever!), and Susan, the sound guy.

Hope to see everyone on the 20th!

New Gallery

Big thanks to everyone who came out to the show. Check out the pictures from Plush!

Fucking thanks!

Seriously though, fucking thanks to everyone who came out to our show tonight. It fucking ruled my fucking ass, I don't know about yours. I'm totally giving the fucking devil sign to my fucking computer screen right now. Fuck yeah, mother fuckers! Yeah!

More fucking later.
