I feel real phony when my name is Phil

About Me

Q: When/where did you guys meet? A: April 24, 2006. Menswear department at Macy’s. No lie.Q: How would you describe your music? A: Red with puke green flashes.Q: You guys seem to have different backgrounds (Reigning Sound, Panther Burns, Vending Machine, Gun Club, Big Ass Truck, Pump Action Retards et al). Is there anything you all agree on musically? A: Randy Van Warmer and Dean Friedman.Q: Jeremy, what inspires you as a songwriter? A: Bicameral legislation, teenage prostitution and Chewy Spree.Q: So you’re in the studio now? How is that going? A: Pretty OK. At first we just started showing up at Rocket Science for the sole purpose of annoying Kyle, but decided to actually “put some things down,” as musician types say. So far, the carnage includes four frogs, two praying mantises and Steve’s imaginary armadillo, Akbar. Oh yeah, and we’re progressing nicely on a full-length.Q: Grayson, what is your outlook on life? A: I don’t really like white people.Q: When are you planning to tour? A: We’ll have to see. It would kind of depend on when we can collectively get out of the witness protection program. Nobody knows the troubles we’ve seen. . .By the way, we cannot tell you our real names.Q: Is there anything else you would like to add? A: Shoes For Industry!

new song up

Just put up a "new" song - "Ontario Street."We just mixed it about an hour ago (right after doing overdubs), so it's pretty rough.  Things will probably change before it's considered finished.&nb...
