OCTOBER 2019 UPDATE

10.04.19 - LONG TIME NO UPDATE.  LOTS TO REPORT.  OUR LP IS OUT! THANKS TO EVERYONE THAT HELPED WITH IT ESPECIALLY OUR FRIENDS AT HERE AND NOW RECORDS, KNOCHENTAPES, MIDDLE MAN RECORDS & TRIPLE EYE INDUSTRIES FOR HELPING US CO-RELEASE THE RECORD. 

WE’VE PLAYED SOME GREAT SHOWS THIS SUMMER WITH SOME TRULY AMAZING BANDS AND THAT TRADITION ISN’T GOING TO END ANYTIME SOON.

SHOWS, SHOWS & MORE SHOWS!

05.25.19 - THE TITLE SAYS IT ALL.  A WHOLE BUNCH OF SHOWS WERE RECENTY ANNOUNCED, INCLUDING THE RECORD RELEASE SHOW FOR OUR LP!  BASED ON WHAT WE’VE ALREADY PLAYED AND WHAT’S ON THE CALENDAR, 2019 IS GOING TO BE THE BUSIEST YEAR FOR LIFES SO FAR. SEVEN SHOWS ALREADY PLAYED AND ANOTHER SEVEN ANNOUNCED, PLUS THE OTHERS THAT ARE  IN THE WORKS... IT’S GOING TO BE A GOOD YEAR!

NORTHWEST WEEKEND - APRIL 2019

WE ARE PRETTY EXCITED TO ANNOUNCE THAT WE ARE GOING TO PLAY A FEW SHOWS IN THE NORTHWEST THIS APRIL. ONE OF THISE WILL BE IN SEATTLE WITH PAGENINETYNINE, MAJORITY RULE & PORTRAYAL OF GUILT.  A FEW YEARS  BACK PG99 & MAJRULE DID A BENEFIT TOUR ON THE EAST COAST THAT RAISED OVER $35,000 FOR LOCAL CHARITIES.  THE WHOLE THING WAS VERY INSPIRATIONAL AND SHOULD BE A MODEL FOR REUNION TOURS FRON HERE ON OUT (LOOKING AT YOU BIKINI KILL & JAWBREAKER). WHEN WE HEARD WHISPERS THAT THEY WOULD BE DOING IT AGAIN ON THE WEST COAST, WE CALLED IN SOME FAVORS WITH FRIENDS (...& BABYSITTERS) AND ARE THRILLED TO BE ABLE TO PLAY A SMALL (VERY SMALL) PART IN THIS ROUND.  WE WILL BE DOING A FEW OTHER SHOWS IN THE NORTHWEST OVER THAT WEEKEND (PORTLAND, VANCOUVER...) AND ARE TRYING TO CRAM IN AS MANY SHOWS AS WE CAN, SO IF YOU KNOW OF ANYONE IN THE AREA HOSTING MATINEE OR LATE NIGHT SHOWS, GET IN TOUCH!!! FULL DETAILS OF THE WEEKEND WILL BE POSTED SOON.  PLANE TICKETS HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AND WE CAN’T WAIT!

UNPRESIDENTED COMP / NEW RECORDINGS / MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL WRITEUP / TROLLS

HELLO FRIENDS.  LOTS OF NEWS.  LOTS OF NEWS.

WE RECORDED TWO SONGS LAST WEEKEND AT THE NEW HOWL STREET STUDIO.  BOTH ARE FOR COMPS THAT WILL BE OUT THIS YEAR.  THE FIRST ONE IS CALLED "UNPRESIDENTED" AND WILL FEATURE 35 SONGS BY 35 BANDS ABOUT THE ORANGE TURD IN THE OVAL OFFICE.  THE MILWAUKEE JOURNAL SENTINEL PUBLISHED A PIECE ABOUT THE COMP THAT YOU CAN READ HERE:

Milwaukee musicians respond to Trump presidency with Protest Music

THE ANTI-CHOICE, ANTI-WOMAN INTERNET TROLLS AREN'T VERY HAPPY.

OUR SONG IS CALLED "SHAMELESS."  YOU CAN HEAR A BIT OF THE SONG AND WATCH DAVE AWKWARDLY PLAY AIR GUITAR AND SCREAM HERE:

Dave looks awkward and his head turns into a tomato

THE COMP IS CURRENTLY BEING MASTERED AND SHOULD BE RELEASED VIA BANDCAMP SOON.

THE SECOND SONG WE RECORDED IS FOR A CROSSED OUT TRIBUTE COMP 7" THAT IS BEING RELEASED BY KNOCHEN TAPES FROM GERMANY.  WE RECORDED OUR VERSION OF THE SONG "HE MAN."  IT'S ABOUT HALF AS LONG AS THE ORIGINAL AND WE THINK IT SOUNDS PRETTY KILLER.  THE RECORD SHOULD BE OUT IN AUGUST BUT IF YOU CAN'T WAIT, YOU CAN CHECK OUT SOME OF THE SONGS HERE:

KNOCHEN TAPES BANDCAMP

I THINK THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR NOW.  NO NEW SHOWS TO ANNOUNCE, BUT HOPEFULLY THAT WILL CHANGE SOON.
