About Me

pretty birds that kill has been bobby fer quite a while... he's been playing anywhere + everywhere... his old dorm room (until he got yelled at repeatedly by music haters... bastards!), laundry rooms, random hallways, parks, markets, fast food establishments, basements... anywhere people will gather + listen. then one day the wonderful paddleboat cafe said, hey bobby, show? yes? and he jumped at that like an old man to a buffet dinner at three in the afternoon (have you seen those cats?!? it's absurd what they do for those buffets! (-ps old people, i love you too!!!))... the lovely boys of snack pharm (sebbycakes the bionic bassist + lord czarl the dynamic drummer, + ian the godly geetarist) said hey, we'll play with you, + saved bobby's bitch ass from imminent doom. since then, it's been a wild trip through the magic of campfire chord punk filled with wildly driving bass by seb, absurdly killer drums by carl, wickedly intense fretboard work by ian, + 'singing'/shouting + copious amounts of distortion by bobby. then the band went crazy + reformatted like mad mad maddddd! they cut down on tha noisssseeeee + went bam bam bam! now it's silly acousti-ruckusin' with fun fun keyzzzz n bassy thingsss by sebbycakes, fantasterfic makeshift trapkit rawkin' by lord czarl + silly singin' n bouncin' n geetarin' by bobby. it's the greatest thing to ever happen to this dorky punk + he loves all of you that have listened + helped along the way!
guess what?! we've got an album doneeeeeeeeee! it's called 'sunshine, lollipops, + hand grenades' + it's on sale now for $5 or whatever you feel like paying really... yeah! it's a run of 200 cds... own yer own special copy today! all sorts of fun goodies are included with these hand sewn cases! yeehaw! it's 13 silly songs about silly grrrrls + it sounds like someone falls in love everytime they step outside of their house... woooooooo!!!
you can also download it here:
there's some lovely t-shirts as well, block printed on a variety of shirts or any shirt of yer choosing! it's the picture of the pig that's up on the page as our picture + our band name. i'll get a picture up sometime sooooooon! they're in the area of $5 as well... yay! cheap things! and! and! free patches + stickers! waaaahoooooooooo!
