Have I told you guys how much I love you lately? Well, I do. I fell in love with The Beets all over again last Sunday. Jacob can really pound the shit out of those skins! Amazing set. Amazing new songs! This band is now unstoppable.
However, there's a bit of false advertisement involved in this enterprise. The flyer for the show claimed you'd be playing No Blood, which was conspicuously missing from the live set. I forgive its omission considering the aforementioned awesomeness, but I must make the request for you to play every single gem under your sleeve (and you know there are lots of them)... even if that means playing a longer set than the usual twenty minutes of brilliance!
I came across your path while browsing the melting pot that is myspace! Some character had one of your songs added. I enjoyed your music and thought I'd extend an add your way! So how are you goons doing? In New York, are you?
you never talk about beets, eat beets or leave beets at people's houses, therefore, i think the band should be called "stale jalepeno chips". credit me for that name in the album sleeve.
Most people don't know that Juan is not an original member of The Beets. The Beets originated as a band back in 1999. Jose and two other guys were in the original line-up until he kicked everyone out due to his power-hungry fits. Here are two pictures from earlier publicity shoots:
(1999-2003)
Then the guy to the left was kicked out.
(2004-2005)
Then Jose kicked the guy on the right out of the band and recruited Juan.
The picture of you guys two comments below this one has got to possibly be one of the gayest pictures I have ever seen. It looks like the photographer was about 14 seconds away from getting a picture of the two of you blowing each other.
