Myspace Updates!
So we have updated our myspace to include our news page, as well as links to our Biographies, All Videos, F.A.Q.s, Merch and our Reviews! We realized that myspace, although it is where go to read about bands they like, is pretty limited in info compared to our website, so we wanted to make sure all the people who are myspace-only when visiting band sites, get to see everything about us!
So people who don't normally go to our site - EXPLORE!!!! Maybe buy some merch!? ;) ;) ;)
We hope you guys enjoy it!

TOUR CANCELLED - S*D AND WHOLE WHEAT BREAD ANNOUNCED
So the tour has been cancelled. This is a sad day for everyone, but as most of you know, our booker promised us a 22 day tour and delivered one when where he booked only 10 days. The 24 hours before we left it became 8 days. Then we showed up for our first show and we weren't even booked there (maybe this was the club's fault - that's besides the point, it was still part of what happenned on tour), and then I personally got an email from another place cancelling a show, so at that point we were down to 7 shows, then we got a text from the booker saying another show was cancelled, leaving us with 6 dates spread all-throughout NY, PA, MD, TN, GA, and FL over a 22 day period.
At this point, we realized that we were driving a van that costs $80 in gas every 300 miles, and were going to get paid (IF we got paid) for 6 shows instead of the projected 22 - meaning we have to pay for 5 people to eat and drive for over three weeks on a salary that consisted of about $600 (which would mean $100 a show, which was NOT going to happen).
So we had to head home.
BUT we did have an awesome 5 days on the road, and we learned alot about living together, touching eachother, and agreeing to unwanted sexual intimacy if it means Tom will stop complaining for five minutes!
We are planning a tour in the Fall, and a smaller tour in the Winter - speaking of which - if you know any good venues to play around the US that are actually VENUES and not BARS or places that are 21+, let us know! - but before then, we have a few tricks up our sleeve (including a very special surprise show this fall, and a new track we just recorded that we are VERY excited about), but the only one being revealed today is this:
Whole Wheat Bread
Senior Discount
Brunt Of It
Joey Herbz
The Unibrows
LIVE @ the Living Room!!!
Saturday, September 8th - 8:00 PM!
We miss all our pals and fans! If you need to contact us for any reason - even just to shoots some shits - message us on myspace at www.myspace.com/seniordiscount !
Later lovelies!
