"Time Line Fever" - A continuing history of our band.

Oct '03 - Nov '05: In this span of two years Primitive Bright Light Fever forms and plays its first shows around Placerville at assorted Veterans Halls and Community Centers, completes recordings (in the most rudimentary sense) of about 10 songs (an ongoing source of shame for original members), and somehow draws label interest. These were also "the party years".

Jan '06: Sign to Stolen Transmission/Island/Def Jam

Jan '06: Erroneously told everyone we're going on our first tour

March '06: Erroneously told everyone that we were recording this month

April '06: Actually Recorded our first official album "The Evening Owl" @ the Hanger with Joby Ford and Floss The Boss over the course of three weeks, ignorantly wasting thousands of dollars on stupid things

May? '06: Flipper, our E-350 Super Duty Van joins the band

August '06: Actually do first tour ever with Showbread and Paulson

Tuesday, October 24, 2006: Release of The Evening Owl, which after a long and troublesome series of events, is deemed a "failure".

Nov '06: Evening Owl loses distribution

Jan '07: First trip to New York, pretty much the best thing to ever happen while on Stolen Transmission - secretely video taped private showcase for Island/Def Jam Big Wigs like Jay Z, LA Reid, Etc

March '07: Second Tour - to SXSW, the one and only time we've used a trailer, also the only time we've been in Texas, and there's a reason for that.

May '07: Independently filmed Papas Got a Brand New Liver video in the forests near the Suave estate. It has since been removed from youtube by Island/Def Jam.

June '07: Complete third west coast tour w/ 1090 Club, it is on this tour that Flipper becomes a TURBO E-350 Super Duty Van

July '07: Dropped from Stolen Transmission

Aug -Sept '07: Complete 4th west coast tour w/ EKUK/Bridges/1090, Flipper broke down in Wyoming en route to the first show, in Billings, Montana. While waiting extra days in Billings for van repairs, "The Montana Demos" are recorded in a friends house.

Nov '07: Inglorious return to Placerville for a show to fund the upcoming:

Nov - Dec '07: Complete our first coast to coast tour, which would also have ranked as our first successful tour, had we not spun Flipper on the frozen, treacherous Interstate 80 in Wyoming (again), after completing the final show of the tour. (Note to self, do not attempt to drive from Denver to Sacramento at midnight after playing a show when its snowing)

Feb '08: After having 2 of the largest bands to ever come from our area totally chode out on previously arranged studio time, we called in every favor we'd accrued, borrowed a ton of equipment, and were able to record "Red Hands in Holy Water", our second full length recording, in the comfort of the Ferro family home.

June '08: Self release Red Hands in Holy Water, eventually putting it up for free download, we like to think of it as a success. Aside from that, months are wasted on empty promises and overall snakery by outside parties.

Nov '08: Complete our 6th tour, self-booked and our only tour of the year, its officially the first successful outing (meaning we didnt lose money).

Jan '09: Reuinited with Joby Ford, we record The Meat Market EP at Big Game Lodge in Van Nuys, CA in 1 week, which went on to give massive boners to all involved

March '09: Bring in our good friend Crispin to play 3rd guitar, keys, percussion and samples - his first shows with the band will be our upcoming tour to the midwest and back

June '09: Head out on another tour to the midwest with good friends By Sunlight. Turns out to be the most brutal run in our career as an independent touring band. Highlights include: First run in with the law in Arizona, Hitting a deer on hwy 80 near omaha going aprox 70mph, 8 out of 12 shows pay nothing.

June '09: Crispin finds out life in Bright Light Fever "ain't all its cracked up to be" and decides to step down gracefully. We love ya buddy.

July '09: Booking next tour - slated for October. HAHAHAHA - Nevermind.

Sept 10th 2009: Bright Light Fever play their final show together.

"The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side. "-H.S.T.

Dudes...I was having such a good day untill I heard about you guys deciding to give it away as I was listening to your music. Had hoped you may have come over to Australia with The Bronx at some point ( We freakin love The Bronx down here) as I think people would get your music as we do theres. Anyway stay mates and if I stumble across a heap of cash in the next year i'm bringing you guys over for a festival (you will have to reform of course).

The fact that i'm from New Zealand and dig your music is an achievement in itself...keep on keeping on guys

CHEETHAM'S ZOMBIES - PHOTO COOKIES

Are now available to order for your Halloween parties, Haunted Attractions, Concerts, Movie Premieres, and Zombie Walks!

We take a regular photo of you, turn you into a zombie, and place you on the very cookies you choose to sell at your event, or hand out as treats...but that's not all we can do.

We can take your logo, your promo posters, our photos of your cast members or attractions, and place them on the cookies too!

These are literally one of a kind treats, the cookies you order will be shipped to nobody else. Each cookie has a vivid image of your choice and are delicious. They come wrapped in cellophane with your choice of ribbon color and are then packaged in individual boxes (as seen in the photo above, boxes are optional). These are truly, edible works of dark art.

If you would like more info on pricing or zombie makeovers, feel free to contact me here on Myspace. You won't be disappointed!

No. Fuck no.
You guys did not just break up.

And to think I'm listening to "Fire of the Vanities" as I type this.
I actually listen to you guys regularly, and I can't believe what I'm seeing.

I would have gone to a show, but I never had transportation to do so, and most of your shows are towards NorCal.

But you guys can't just give up so easily. =[

Hope this helps you see people DO actually read your blogs.
