We recorded "Good Job, General" at Kelly's house on Sunday. We're going to master it tomorrow. As soon as I can find someone to show me how to put it up on the site I will. We also have t-shirts for sale now. .

Cowboy, Kansas City Stars, Royal Crown, the Americas, Robots Hate Cowboys, N.B.H. & Anticrisis

We have had yet another line-up change. Dan Burns of Fun World on Fire, Smash Him! and the Durham Rockers is now playing bass. We played our first show with the new lineup with Isabell and the Icarus Line. It was a really fun show. The Icarus Line rocked the fucking place. They are really cool guys too. Check out their website. We will be recording in the next couple of months for an E.P. and playing a bunch of shows, so check us out.

We played with two great San Diego bands on Monday - The Peppermints and Kill Me Tomorrow. They should be back in Chico in November. Do not miss them. We're going to work on some new songs for the next couple of weeks and then record a few songs. Once we have something for the kids we hope to get out of town for a couple of shows.

It was about a hundred million degrees in Chico today. I became an uncle today, and we are playing a show with Corrugated from San Diego. Completely excited. There is no reason to miss this show.

KCSC Compilation Release
with many others including
The Inverted Nines, Arnica Sync, Lil' Suicide Bunny, Cowboy and Isabell.
BANDS START AT 5PM

The struggle continues. The KCSC comp is finally coming out on November 2nd. So now you too can own a copy of "Good Job General." Buy it at the KCSC CD release show at the Senator on the 2nd. But better yet, we will be recording some songs on 4-track with the assistance of Chico rock 'n' roll stalwart Jason 'J.C.' Cassidy. We'll see how many we do, but a few of them are very new and rocking. Support our West Coast 2002 Tour by e-mailing me and buying a t-shirt. Cool new records: Change by Dismemberment Plan, Argument by Fugazi, the Photo Album by Death Cab for Cutie and the Joy Division box set.

Kill Me Tomorrow
(San Diego)
The North Magnetic
Damelo
Senator Theatre 9PM
Kill Me Tomorrow is amazing! So is the North Magnetic. If you don't go to this show your indie rock license will be revoked and you can go back to listening to Creed..

We went over to the Cowboy / Isabell practice space, which just happens to be across from a porn studio, and recorded ten songs on a 4-track thanks to Jason Cassidy of Cowboy fame. Daniel was locked in a box the whole time. Jason did a really good job with it. The sound is much, much better than we expected. We're going to record vocals tomorrow, I think. The girls from Kittie came into my work today. I sold one of the Kitties' mom a Madonna DVD. Please send us money so we can buy new drums. Thanks.

We played a show with The Hero and the Victor this weekend. They were really, really great. And super friendly guys, they even helped us carry our stuff out. They told us that they're recording in December, so check out their website for more info. Hopefully they'll be up through here again soon. I was impressed with the turnout at the show. I didn't think anyone would be there on the day after Thanksgiving, but a bunch of people showed up. It was a fun night and the crowd was great. Thanks to everyone who came out. We're very excited about the Kill Me Tomorrow show.

Damelo
returns to Moxie's for a Cowboy Christmas spectacular. This will be the last Boat Drags ever and will feature a whole mess of local bands, artists, poets and puppets. Check it.

Moxie's Cafe 6PM

We played our Christmas song at Jason Cassidy's Cowboy Christmas extravanganza last night. It was a lot of fun. Jason rules.
We're going to finish up our demo this week so we can play some shows out of town. We're currently conspiring with Nick and Paul of V to takeover the southern part of the state in the Spring. E-mail me if you want to buy one of our fabulous T-shirts for a remarkably low price or if you'd like to have my children.
