May 2nd . MySpace & More.

 

Wow. I can't believe it's been a month since I've done anything here. In any case, we've discovered myspace. It's a great internet thing that helps us find new friends and whore ourselves out even more! Hooray! Since it has an easy-to-use blog thingy, I'll be updating blogs (that word just doesn't sit right w/me) more often than this journal. So make sure to check both whenever you check us out.

Here's an update to the Mexican Food saga from the previous entry. My buddy, Blaine, lives near "Mexican Food" and informed me that it used to be a joint called "Tony's Pizza." According to him, all "Mexican Food" did was change the text and kept the flashing red and green lights. Wow, who ever thought that you could save money by converting Mexican restaraunts into Italian ones! Perhaps the nations' colour selection was engineered as a means to keep changing food establishments easier between the two delicious ethnic varieties. If you click on those names you can see how I theoretically envisioned how the old sign used to look. Don't pay attention to anything else on the pic, I don't have the time to photoshop "sopas" into "ravioli."

We're playing Wednesday, May 4th at the Farmer's Market. We've got a few more shows there.

 

 

April 2nd. 1st Post-EP entry.

 

Way back before this new slick design, the website had a rant section. Here I (or sometimes a special guest) would pretty much just talk about whatever. I feel like doing that. My friend asked me if I had ever been to "Mexican Food" on Balboa and San Fernando. Intrigued by the name of the restaurant, I decided to go there. I mean, who names their restaurant the title of the type of food served? You're talking loco and I like it. Lo-and-behold, I saw the sign -a huge sign that says "Mexican Food" accompanied by red and green flashing borders. It did not disappoint. I went in and ordered 2 enchiladas (carnitas y al pastor). They were good. The meat was better than Los Toros, but the rest was pretty much just slop (like Los Toros). I still had doubts about the name, so I looked at the receipt. Maybe the receipt would hold the true title of the restaurant and the huge attention getting, generic sign was only to lure those who hunger for "Mexican Food." Perhaps the receipt would be headlined, "David's Mexican Food" or "Yummy and Good Mexican Food." Nope. Simply "Mexican Food." Well, I suppose there is no point in denying I went to "Mexican Food" on Thursday. It's kinda trippy to eat at a place with the same name as the type of food I'm eating.

I recommend "Mexican Food." btw-sorry for the blurry images, they are from my phone.

Looks like the next show is April 20th at Farmer's Market! We'll be play there a few times this season.

 

 

March 22nd. EP all finished!

 

Wow. Hard to believe, but we finished the EP. It's great and yummy like an orange mocha frappucino. Thanks to everyone who came and/or bought a CD. This was the best turn-out we've ever had. Don't forget that we'll be playing the Northridge Mall Farmer's Market quite a few times this season. BTW, if anyone has any pics from the CD release party, send them this way and I'll put them online.
