   About The Impossible Shapes
We used to just play for fun. We were young and knew nothing about what we were doing. We liked recording on tapes and exploring sound, and we didn't even know how to set up a mic. Then we started playing out and people told us we were good, clouding our heads and expanding our egos. We beleived them and everything was different from then on. Now we are desperately trying to get back to that place where we began, but on a higher plane, like a spiral. First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is . . .

Hey dudes, I just saw this in the Boston Phoenix. The Shapes and the Jacksons! Indiana is quite a place!

(And it's quite a feat to be considered the best band in the state. Good job.

I saw your set at the Cake Shop in NYC when I was there on a vacation. It was excellent. We're going on tour at the end of August with my other band Meadowlark Lemon (myspace. com/meadowlarklemonband), and would love to play a date with you guys. We have the following dates available: Aug. 24-26.

Hey: we heard your sound waves on "This American Life." Someone was talking about freezing dead people and then your Demon song started in the background. No, not that Demon song, the other one. Yeah, that one.

Dig the photo of Vonnegut chasing his dog Pumpkin on the beach. The Sirens of Titan are singing up above. They do the Watusi in an intergalactic El Dorado souped up with beeswax.
