When are you guys going to tour again? I'm still beating myself up for never getting to see Burning Airlines. I don't want to miss another J. Robbins band.

Thanks for adding me. Let me continue the conversation by saying that its hard to remember what hasn't yet existed, so we forget to create or even like new things, and this is reinforced by cliches such as "every thing's been done" and "there's nothing new under the sun." Just the same, cliche, idiom, type, and other familiar forms and figures are a good place to start.
Cliche can be seen as "dead metaphor", so its a healthy job in society for artists to re-invent them and bring them back to life, as well as create the new ones through .. Synchronic Alchemy .. ..TEA FOR TWO WORLDS 418 SULLIVAN STREET, MIAMI AZ 85539: COPPER MINE PICTURE GALLERY Featuring an exhibit of oil paintings from Ken Boe's "Tea Pot" series which will be on exhibit until January 3rd 2009.

REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY IS BACK WITH A NEW ALBUM OUT NOW on ALTERNATIVE TENTACLES RECORDS!

New LP Cover. Destroy All Evidence. Art by John Yates

Click on the image to go straight to AT's webstore and get your copy today of "Destroy All Evidence"!! (Once again the cover art is by John Yates!)

You can check on two songs from the new CD on the RSA Myspace Page (click here)!

here's what the Alternative Tentacles website has to say:

The sunset of the Bush Administration brings the empty election-year promise of change that placates some, but others-- still tasting the bile over American atrocities from the last eight years and beyond-- force a change themselves. Vic Bondi (Articles of Faith, Alloy, Jones Very) began Report Suspicious Activity as a productive means to channel his political rage: a one-off project that grew into a band as musicians were recruited, songs written, and shows played. In addition to Bondi, Report Suspicious Activity now boasts an impressive lineup with J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), Darren Zentek (Kerosene 454), and Erik Denno (Kerosene 454).


The meaningless war on terror drags on, and so continues Report Suspicious Activity's musical insurgency. For Destroy All Evidence, their follow-up to 2005's debut, both Bondi and Robbins penned the songs while Bondi, Robbins, and Denno take turns as lead vocalists. In terms of songcraft and lyrical heft, they can duke it out with the best of Reagan-era political punk.
