I write songs or pieces of songs if and when they decide to happen. I like capos. I like E major. and I am lucky to be surrounded by a wonderful group of musical friends. if you listen, let me know. hopefully an EP is in the near future.
We're so glad we could make you feel punk rock. You made us feel like we can actually be other things than just punk rock. I've thought about it and george is full of it. He's heard Oh Comely a million times in my car. We could definetly learn that. The two songs that we best know of yours are probably this is where it begins for me and things you need. Since we learned a Holy Soviets song this time, you should pick what we lear next, even if its not one of those. Anything you want, we're up for it.
Joyce! Thanks for coming and playing an amazing set amidst the chaos. I did not think I was capable of singing a three part harmony EVER. Thank you. You are fucking amazing and quite possibly the most talented musician on long island... try not to let it get to yer head. Next show is september 5th. The theme is still somewhat undecided but its gonna involve 3D glasses somehow. This is your offical invitation. We should get together again and learn one of your songs this time. Thanks A Million.
i'm gonna have to make a special request for the houses of the holy soviets house: i've had ur version of Blood Bank stuck in my head since the last house show.
well, we didn't play, but Phil did and it was with Dead FM who went on right after you (yeah @ jesse's house). don't be confused. like they say, a penny earned is a dollar spent.
erin baird? she's some indie folk singer from south dakota who only covers Sioux Indian tribal songs. it's pretty rad and new wave. GOOGLE that shit. &hearts eskimo kisses
hey we enjoyed you at the house show the other night. you probably didn't enjoy us, because most of you left to go eat vegetarian hot dogs or something.
by the way, has anyone ever told you that you look just like Erin Baird?
can we blow bubbles?? by GOD we can and by GOD we shall. by decree, the house show is now officially a byob affair. bring your own bubbles. but...if anyone forgets to bring bubbles, I intend to amass a cache of bubbles so large and dangerous that I shall have to evade any and all authorities, particularly the FBI. For I do not fear death. and I will lay down my life for bubbles, if need be. I read recently that the FBI was actually founded as a way to counteract the rising tide of bubble blowing in the early 20s. somewhere along the line their agenda shifted away from the overt oppression of bubbles. psh. thats what they want you to think. so basically...yeah. bubbles good.
Thank you for the kind words hope that your enjoying what is going to end up being half the album. I'll be more than happy to play more shows, maybe I'll have my voice next time. If you can give me a lead to play other shows around I think I'd owe ya a hug.
Thanks for coming. Seriously seriously seriously thanks for coming. I don't know if you met my dad, arty, but he really really really liked you. Haha, and with good reason.
Come see The Holy Soviets and Sunshine Airline(s) Live At The Cup Sunday January 18th Martin Luthur King Jr Weekend because not being strange is incredably over-rated. Free Gifts and Giveaways! New Songs! Glitter! Blood! Explosions!
O.k. This is what I think, Barely Balancing is my favorite song of yours because it is abstract. Made me think a little. Love your voice and I'm totally going to be at your show at the CUP to support you if we can remember to go. To think to much about why I typed we, when we should have typed I. Whatever that means.
Do you ever think that you are not real? But you are real for a second? Where am I? Whatever?
