Right, so I think the recording is just about done.. finally!! If there's anything more to be done, it's just final touches etc. We're quite the little perfectionists!
We have a show at The Beauty Bar in San Diego.. so that's new. April 6th! Come check it out.

We're playing in LA tonight.. The flyer I made is rather nice, if I do say so myself.



Normally I wouldn't be bragging about things like that, but I'm just using it as an excuse to post the picture the flyer was based on:



Amazing!

Anyway, after tonight we have two very important, very BRILLIANT shows lined up: Plush Cafe tomorrow, and The Viper Room on Monday night..
Now, we want everyone who can come to be there on Monday, so email/myspace us is you want to be on the guestlist..

Okay!

So much to tell you!

Monday night we returned to JC Fandango (our favourite club), to open for The Pinker Tones, from Spain. We premiered our newest song, which is going under the title "Bang The Drum".. I'm not sure if that will change.. Anyway, we were great, The Pinker Tones were great, and they were really nice guys, too.
Also, we nicked the rehearsal PA from one of the back rooms of JCF, so now we have a PA to practice with! When I say "nicked", though, I mean the club owner let us take it. I just wanted to make us sound like bad-asses. Ha!
All in all it was a great night! Thanks to everyone who came out. We had a brilliant time.

Last night we made our San Diego debut, and that was also a good evening! I'm not really sure what to tell you about it.. We only played a short set, 20 minutes or so, but it was still great fun. We managed to squeeze all our hits in there (tee-hee). But don't worry, we'll be playing longer at our upcoming shows. You'll get your money's worth! I actually have no idea what else to say about this show.. We should have some pictures from both shows soon, I think.. I'll post those as soon as we get them.

What else is new? We're going to try our damnedest to finish up our recording this week.. There is a light at the end of the tunnel!! The stuff's sounding good, hopefully you'll be hearing it soon. The new version of "DIY" has been played a couple of times on INDIE 103.1 fm this week, perhaps you've heard it? I know some of you have, you've told us!

Hmm.. something else. Oh yeah! Luke and I went to see The Presets last Saturday at EXPLEX. We didn't even know that place existed! Well, we did, and we knew it was underneath the Echo in Echo Park, but we couldn't figure out where..We figured it out, and let me tell you, that place is great!! It's now our goal to play there, just because it has such a cool vibe.. Playing the echo is tons of fun, and EXPLEX is kind of like a rave version of the Echo, if you can kind of figure out what I mean by that.. I don't know. We'll try toget a show there, then you can come see us and find out what I mean.

Okay, I think that really is all I have to report!
See you Thursday (Club Audio), Friday (Plush), or Monday (THE VIPER ROOOOM!!)!

Love,
Joe

People keep asking us, SAN DIEGO'S CLUB POP NOIR HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH US.
It was very nice of them to name an entire club night after us, but we think it just causes unnecessary confusion!
Their club opens at the end of this month, we're debuting in San Diego a week before, on March 24th.
So NO, we're NOT playing Friday, March 30th in San Diego, or any other Friday in San Diego as far as we know.

Don't waste your money, we won't be there!

In other news, we have a show Monday night at JC Fandango in Anaheim with The Pinker Tones, an incredible electronic band from Spain. Tickets are $15 dollars, but if you print out and bring this flyer, you can get in for just $5!



So, come out on Monday, or next Saturday, but not next Friday to Club Pop Noir, because that's something else entirely.

Love,
PN

Wow, I really can't believe how terrible we've gotten at updating this blog.
I'm still trying to figure out a clever way of reworking our site, so that will be my excuse for not keeping this thing up-to-the-minute. That and the fact that we're still in the recording studio, so really nothing has changed.

Oh, well, we're now recording at a different location (a house), so I guess that's new. We should post some pictures, but really, we're just in a bedroom. You all know what a bedroom looks like!
Actually, I missed a great opportunity to take some pictures when we were tracking drums. We were in a garage full of hunting paraphernalia, so I could have shown you plenty of Pop Noir with boxes of bullets, deer heads, and snake skin. I suppose I could just go in the garage and take photos, but I think that would be a bit weird.

Another new thing, we were interviewed in Dirrtyglam Magazine.. check it out here:

Good stuff.

Well, that might be it for now.. I'm going to go watch The Sarah Silverman Program.

P.S. Come to The Viper Room on April 2nd (if you're 21+ or have a fake ID).. We're headlining, It's an Indie 103.1 night, and there's free vodka for everyone! What more could you possibly ask for? Oh yeah, you can get in for free if we like you enough to let you know the password! Perfect.
