About Me

We've been together since the glorious summer of 2005. We moved from San Antonio to Los Angeles in the summer of 2007. Our self released lo-fi albums include a 3 song untitled EP which fans have dubbed "the unicorn album" or "unicorn", a 5 song untitled EP referred to as "beach", and a 7 song untitled EP dubbed as "the bird album". we've got a few hi-fi releases in the works for 2008 on mookie dog records including a vinyl 7 inch entitled "let the nightmare begin". For news updates, more songs (ie: ones that are not on the myspace), creepy pictures, and a shameless e-store, visit.............notthegovernment.com...................... .......... ............................................... ............................................ ............................................................ ........................... ...................e-mail us at [email protected]................................ .............................. ................................... ......................................... ............................................................ ..... .................................................... .............. this is our friend/roomate/band-aid james attempting to jump our drummer jay. lets see what happenes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this is tyler skateboarding off of our roof ............................................................ ... .......................................... ................................... .............This is a Not The Government show back in our home town of San Antonio, Texas. Throughout the show we were asking people to throw their shoes on stage. The video doesn't show it but after being tackled by a crazed fan and friend named Weston, jay (our drummer) kicked over his drums and then picked up one of those shoes and fucking chucked it. It hit some art hanging on a wall and the glass frame shattered. All while the rest of us finished the song as if there were still drums playing along with us. A chaotic end to the set. That was a good night.
