THE TANK features former members of Gameface, Brown Lobster Tank, Smartbomb Ca, Welt, Align, and Big in Japan.

"What we do is really quite unique. We start with a very catchy or memorable melody (referred to as the "chorus" or "hook"). We preface this "chorus" with somewhat more subdued melodic passages we call "verses". Oftentimes a "pre chorus" will be inserted between the two, for added emphasis of the "chorus". A "bridge" frequently precedes the final "chorus" for increased impact. Accompanying word groupings we call "lyrics" tend to provide some personal revelation, and usually retain some semblance of a "theme" from start to finish. We think this formula could be the start of something great."

"The Human Race
The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of the runners don't even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water. Some people are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side. It's not surprising some people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse. What we need in this race is a lot more streakers."

I wish I was going to the BDC reunion! I heard it was sold out already, plus I'm in Sac, but would love to see them.

Yes, I went to school with Matt and Ross, in fact Matt is a business partner with my brother, Sean.

Which Kona? Kona 3 or LHe? That's a PCIe system, right?

no way! i am most certainly not interested in getting rid of any of your releases, past bands (blt, gameface) included. in fact, i plan on picking up your first 7" next time i place an order with dr. strange. but then they have a habit of leaving stuff out of orders all the time, so theres no telling if i'll actually get it.

Don't get me wrong...the songs on the player are rad as fuck and I love them. However, if you ever decide to swap any out, "Future Tense" would forever be added to my page.
Hope all is well!

Pete’s official announcement (02/12/08):


Sticker Guy Pete here, I'm organizing this to celebrate 15 sticky years!
HERE IS THE OFFICIAL SKINNY AS OF TODAY:


There are no tickets yet, but there will be. Capacity of the venue is 250. We will announce the venue soon. The lineup shown below is who is CONFIRMED -- there are several more bands & discjocks in the works! If you would like to attend, my recommendation at this point is to arrange your travel. Be in the Reno area by early Friday evening, March 28th, and stay til Sunday the 30th. I recommend *not* reserving accomodation yet -- Friday will not be *in* Reno -- but only 45 minutes away. We're working on Saturday -- it will probably be in Reno (or Sparks). So most likely, you'll be spending one night in one town, another in Reno or Sparks. At any rate, I would like for everyone to stay in the best places possible, so hold off and wait for my recommendations as to where! Okay?


Again: if you already know you want to attend, mark your calendars, get the time off of work, and arrange your travel now! Sit tight for accomodation and ticket info. Check www.stickerguy.com for details & updates, they will be posted soon!


Thanks and I hope to see you in March.
