AS OF JANUARY 7TH 2009
Hey there folks, Socially Inept threw in the towel today.
No, this is not one of those "We hate each other blah blah cry cry." We're still the best of buddies, in fact 3 of us laughed today in gym as I messed with a cokehead that was trying to sell me crack (it's like messing with a deaf retarded person except its funny and you don't feel bad about it.)
We started this band to do one thing, have fun. And for the past few months we haven't been having much fun and it's turned more into a pain in the ass. So we decided to call it quits before we started to get completely bitter and our music sucked. The funny thing is we ended up writing some damn good songs towards the end that you might not hear (unless we might play our last farewell show).
Being in this band fucking ruled. We started off with Nick not knowing how to do a drum roll (or having a bottom to his snare), Pat and Kyle having trouble playing fast, and me well...sucking at everything. But in the end, Nick could drum faster than half the bands I know in the suburbs, Pat can solo like a motherfucker, Kyle can play amazing bass lines, and do them fast and with precision. And I learned how to really get my anger out in lyrics, being able to shout and scream in a place that I felt comfortable. Possibly the best therapy I've ever had.
We got to play with our personal heroes The Sass Dragons, awesome bands like The House that Gloria Vanderbilt, The Fizzy Pops, HIV+, Rat Patrol('s last show!), I Hate People, Shortstop From Tokyo, and a bunch of other kick ass bands.
We wanna thank Amy from the EXIT for putting together the best fucking venue I've ever played at. The Sass Dragons for getting us on the bill for Doug's Rockhouse, who originally wouldn't let us play, and I don't think after that show they ever would again. Kristen for putting together her basement show and letting us play. Tyler for recording us, and letting us use his awesome PA's for two shows. And every single band we borrowed shit from, we are incompetent, lazy, stupid, forgetful motherfuckers.
Whether you enjoyed our set, or we sounded like shit and I frightened you, we're glad you came out.
And remember one thing...
WHEATON SUCKS!
