Holy Heck! That was fun.

We had a great time with the fine people at the Keg and Cue last night. As usual Angwish was providing their unique blend of romantic interpretation of Western Civilization and Kathleen was serving up the cold beverages. Stay tuned for more shows at the K & C!

MP3

She’s got factories for eyes
And you can tell by her gaze
That these shipbuilding waves
Are in undertow of lives

She’s resourced at lip service
But this lift is in disservice
And enlisting the servants
Last call for service

She’s got
more arms than venus
she’s got

She’s got you between her thighs
And everything she says
Does not explain her legs
As they tighten and surmise

Her hands from Coin and Pawn
Wear a ring right through your nose
And everywhere she knows
She’s got it going on

She’s got
more arms than venus
she’s got

The voices that she hears
Come right down a wire
Amendments are acquired
Decrypted to her ears

The sermon that she mounts
Helps to defray the cost
And every life that’s lost
Shows how a body counts

She’s got
more arms than venus
she’s got

The story that she tells
Goes by the metes and bounds
It grows by leaps and bounds
And everywhere it swells

The sword’s become her pen
But her thunderbolts don’t spark
This virgin’s on a lark
But she’s fucking wide open

She’s got
more arms than venus
she’s got

Milestone/Manifest/Keg and Cue (FRIDAY 5/30)

Hey everyone, thanks so much for coming out and supporting us at the two shows on Saturday. Reaction was pretty good on the new song: Minervamerica. I hope to have a mix of it up on the internet's finer repositories for audio, maybe even today. A Special thanks to Hardcore Lounge for setting up the Milestone show and to ANGWISH for stepping up to open the show. It is always such a pleasure to play with them. So much so that we're doing it again this Friday (5/30) at the Keg & Cue. Show starts at 8pm. Don't miss it.

Progress Report on Steve's New Drum Kit

JVP - Lady Luck Drums: "I have all the shells wrapped and the bearing edges cut. Plan to be laying it out and drilling it tomorrow."

***EDIT***

Jimmy sez he'll have the drums done THIS weekend. Stay tuned, cool kids. And Visit Lady Luck Drums for your high quality drum needs.

Gigs

with Hardcore Lounge & ANGWISH (Milestone show)

F. Yeah!

Even Steven. The CM cancelled so we're playing 6/7 at the School Kids in Chapel Hill. Ha. Last time I played a record store there we got stuck in the snow in Graham. I reckon it's more likely to hit a plague of toads or summat.

I'll put some more awesome pictures Vince DeCaro took up soon.

New Songs!

Yes chilrens. If you come to see Illicitizen next weekend. We promise at least one new one and one that only our SC peeps have heard. (Well, except for you old timers.) Steve and Maria were in the studio tracking the rhythm for the newest song. I did the guitar part last night. I might even get this vocal done this morning!
Also, stay tuned for Steve's new drums. Jimmy V. Poplin is custom building him a kit to replace the venerable and questionable Frocky drums.
We'll be posting pictures and audio of the new one soon. So stay tuned. Don't touch that dial.
**Extra Credit**
We also tracked "Therapy" all over, since all the recordings we have up are with the drum machine. We are gearing up for redoing ALL the tracks that we've posted online. Once the drums get here we'll likely take a little time off from playing shows to knock these outs.

6/7 Cancelled Common Market.

Well I just found out our 6/7 show on the Patio at the Common Market is off. Apparently some under age twat got the owner pinched by A.L.E. We're trying to reschedule when they start getting shows on again. Anyone with an open date for 6/7 in the Carolinas drop me a line.

Wacky birthday coincidences

David Byrne 5/14
Brian Eno 5/15
Robert Fripp 5/16
Bill Bruford 5/17

There's only like 1 degree of separation between these guys. I didn't research this. So I'm likely wrong. But oh well.
