Rat Bastards.

Sometime very recent our practice space was broken into and some equipment has been stolen from it. This was very near and dear equipment and it also wasn't your everyday Guitar Center special buy.


1) 1983 Rickenbacker 4003. Yellowed/white with black binding and hardware. Well worn. The original bridge has been replaced with a hipshot replacement. Original is in the case. Case has a lizard stencil on it and a blue interior with a heart pinned to it.

2) Mesa Boogie 400+. I believe it's a 2006, currently out of production. Twelve 6L6 power section. Dual input, push/pulls, graphic EQ. Good condition.

3) QSC USA900 power amp. Black, 3 spaces, some wear.

4) Late 70's Ampeg V4. Serial number: 143529. See Chris Denny for more info.

5) Rickenbacker bass. 4001/4003 style. Black with no binding, dot inlays, chrome hardware, white pickgaurd. Case.

All in all some $6000 worth of equipment... gone. If you could please pass this along and if you hear anything or see anything please get in touch.

Talking to friends in Australia about being in America...in a book.

A blogger friend of ours who has done a review of our demo, has featured us in his new zine called Slays For Days: Issue #1. If you'd like to purchase a copy to read what he has written about our dumb band, here is a link to how to snag a copy or two. Link. Berkay, the author of said zine, is a nice Aussie boy who runs that blog. He is nice, and likes our band. That's more than you have done for us lately. Buy a copy or wait till we get a couple copies for distro. Either way it's filled with stuff you didn't know about us and Australian hardcore, also our cravings for late night treats, musical tastes, and our lean toward sexual violence. Just kidding...or am I?

I hate going to shows. That's what videos are for.

Not sure of its title, but here is a sneak peak of a new song. Video compliments to Vince of Bible Dinosaurs (their new shit is tight).

Raise Hell Mother Fucker

Apparently one of the guitarists from one of my favorite bands has died recently. I'm not surprised to see that this didn't make more of a stink, but here is a rager to clear the path to hell. Bring it.

Locals ONLY!!!

Probably one of the best "Scene Unity" show lineups I've seen in a while. Nothing but wall to wall friends. Come out to this. Our storage unit buddies, Bible Dinos will be playing their lovely tunes. They usually cover 90's pop rock. It is pleasurable to some.

It's nice to see that Tom is really starting to do some shows right. He is going bald, has a big old man belly, but he still has finger on the pulse of the generation. It brings me back getting "reminder texts" from him of the earlier 2000's. I remember calling his house, forgetting about him having a family (2 girls, and a wife) that might be listening to the random messages about me dating him and calling him a sexy man in great detail and I think saying "I love you, Teddy Bear" at the end.

Truth be told: I used to do this so consistently, often, and convincingly that his wife actually started becoming suspicious that I was actually "a gay". After hearing all of these messages, she finally asked him if I was. Ha. Obviously I am a handsome man, but please, ma'am. I wouldn't just settle for any 40 year old hardcore junkie. I only sleep with the creme' de la creme'.

That's me on top.

Shirts VS Skins, Mark 2.0

1. We've started coming up with some possible split partners. More to come when shit firms up.
2. We have an awesome show Friday June 24th with Maruta, Cellgraft, and Fountain of Girth (who knows?) @ Transitions. We'll be playing 2 new songs.

Mark, as previously mentioned before in an earlier post, is an amazing 12 or 13 year old autistic kid that frequents my store. Tony, another 7 year old, lady-killin'-Egyptian kid of another store merchant was also running around causing trouble around the mall. Tony usually asks me how much things cost, then ask for them for free or asks me for the exact change of that item so he can then buy it. I have known Tony for more than a year and he still refers to me as Oscar no matter how many times I remind him it's Austin...son of bitch. Last night, both came in to play games and met each other for the first time. Immediately they became best friends and started talking, and laughing about god knows what and we're playing with this "sticky-hand-toy" that sticks to shit.

Around this same time Jocelyn, my girlfriend was visiting me. I told her that both of them together would probably end up being pretty funny and to watch them be stupid together so she stuck around. At one point they ended up over by her and I. Mark, recently has been learning to tie his shoes. Remember, he is autistic so he has trouble the the coordination. I asked him "How's the tying process coming, Mark?". "Good. I've almost got the loops." he replied. I tell Mark and Tony "Hey, guys. This is my girlfriend, Jocelyn." Jocelyn says hey to them. Tony is playing with the sticky-toy still. He is dangling it between his legs, and leaning over touching the ground. He suddenly pops to attention, looks at Jocelyn, and whistles at her and continues with the toy. Mark, then decides to chime in and also ask, "Austin, is it cool if I show your "hot date" my new shoes?"
