Like poster art? We’ve got some cool devil girl posters for sale on our merchandise page. They were designed by Matt Dye of Blunt Graffix. The posters are silk screened, signed and numbered and were made in a limited run of 100.

The Uberfan title and chance to appear on our next album is awarded to Alex Cook from Sandy, OR. We got several e-mails from Alex during the course of the contest. One e-mail displayed lyrics to a song written about us and another contained audio clips where he actually performed the song. Later we got some threatening e-mails from his friends but the clincher was a 35 point plan explaining why he should be the uberfan. Congrats Alex, you rock. Now, please promise not to suck on our next record! Honorable mention to Ben 56 for his Photoshop based “artwork” which depicted a XXX lesbian scene with Justin’s head superimposed on both of the female bodies.
Show Journal 2004-02-21
My love of the band Zeke has been rekindled and I’d like to thank Dustin and Atomic Productions for making it possible. Zeke has always been one of my favorite bands (I’ve got 5 of their CD’s) and since they went on a hiatus a while back I hadn’t seen them play in about 3 years. Needless to say when we got the offer for this show I was pretty excited. The show was huge. Easily the biggest I had seen at Ray’s and the crowd went nuts for all the bands. Since we just got out of the studio we decided to try out some of the new material. Jim was doped up on Vicodin, Justin had worked all day I was running on just a few hours of sleep. I think it’s safe to say that we were a little sloppy. The good news is that since it was mostly new songs I’m not sure if anyone really noticed. Either way I was stoked to be playing the newly finished songs and it felt great to play to such an appreciative crowd. Also, it felt good to play live again since it had been over three months since our last show! Jet City Fix was second and pretty much rocked. Looking at them I was expecting a generic emo-type band but they were a real poppy version of the Dwarves or Supersuckers. Zeke was last and they killed it. My other Zeke experiences were all limited to about 15-20 minute sets but this set was huge. They must had played about 25 songs. Granted they are all 1-2 minutes long but holy hell it was insane to watch. Zeke’s singer has to be one of the most bad ass guitar players ever. I can’t even explain it. All you can do is throw the horns, do the finger rolling thing or just stop and say holy shit. It’s insane to see in person. Anyway, thanks to the Richland crew for showing up early, the Atomic City folks for having us on this show and those who traveled from far and wide to check out this show.

3 more days until the end of the Uberfan Contest and your chance to sing backups on the new album. The deadline is Feb 22nd so act soon if you want a shot!

Phase 1 of recording is officially done. Truth be told it’s not actually a ‘phase’ rather than we just had to split the recording into 2 sessions. Phase just sounds much more impressive though. Anyway, we go back in March to finish up the background vocals and then mix this thing down. We should have an idea of a release date when the recording is completed. It sounds great so far and we are certain that at least a handful of people out there will be impressed.

Tomorrow morning we are off to Egg Studios to start recording. We are going to attempt to document the endeavor with updates and pictures. Strong emphasis on the word attempt. Should we actually manage to post some updates they will be posted on Eric’s page. On an unrelated note it should also be known that we got our copies of Universe 2 on DVD which features ‘Day Of The Dead’ on it. The subject of the DVD? Extreme unicycling. Seriously. The stuff is in-freaking-sane and big thanks to Syko Productions for getting us the hookup.

Behold … The Uberfan Contest!

Ok, we lied. We are playing a show on Feb 21 in Richland. Couldn’t pass up an opportunity to play with Zeke. Don’t live in Richland? Then plan a road trip sucka!

We demoed our songs for the new album last weekend and they sound pretty cool. Nothing worthy of posting though (no vocals) so you’ll have to wait a while to hear the new tunes. The DVD is coming along slowly but surely. We’re about 1/3 of the way through the editing so we’re probably looking at a spring release date. By the way if you mail ordered anything from us over the past 2 months it should be going out in the mail real soon. We had so much crap in our PO Box that they had set it all aside in a back room without bothering to tell us. When they saw us in there yesterday, they ended up giving us a huge stack of old stuff that dated back to November. Needless to say there are a ton of patches and stickers going out in today’s mail!

Well, another year has arrived and another one has passed. I can’t believe we started this in 1994. Granted it’s not the same lineup, songs or even musical direction, but after joking around and playing bad metal at practice today I realized that it is still pretty much the same. Oh well, not much newsworthy to mention except that we go in to demo our songs for the next album on Jan 10th. I’m anticipating that the songs will be too rough to post on the web site but you never know we might try and sneak a song in if they turn out ok. Happy new year everyone.
