f@#kyea

so south by has come and gone. we ended up playing 4 shows in 48 hours.  the experience has left me as drained as it has left me ready for more.  even though i know the kaos gets old quick sometimes i wish austin was the sxsw mad house of a town all the time. the four shows we did play were awsome each was better than the one before and the high light of the week had to be the show of rainy st. which was in a garage and is in my ranking of best laserz show ever.  the 311 show also was a great time have to say the herion and invisable target both killed.  over all it was a good time.

Fitzgeralds!


Kelly on the Couch -- Experimental Electronica


Crust In Your Eye -- Experimental Rock

Aight peeps.  Garageband.com is treating us well.  We won two more awards for song of the day.  In the experimental electronica category "Kelly On The Couch" and in the experimental rock "Crust in Your Eye"  You can hear them for your self by clicking on the track of the day logo above.  Pretty farking cool and shit.

So... mis amogos.  If you are in Houston we will be there tomorrow to play at Fitzgerald's.  This is rad because Billy, Steve , and I grew up there.  (Todd grew up in College Station).  I have seen many a great shows play at Fitzgerald's growing up which makes this show extra special.  Steve is driving his new/old van down there called Buffalo Bob (It puts the lotion on the body).  Fresh Millions will be joining us and playing at 9:00 PM.  The doors open at 8:00,  Come and get shack-wackled beforehand so you can shake your booty, fist pump, breakdance, mosh, bob with beer gripped closely on chest, nod, screech and yell, heckle, or whatever the hell else you do at shows...

Track of the day

Holy shit!  Our song "Rollers" just got Track of the Day on February 12, on garageband.com  I just uploaded it the day before.  I recent;y have been going and reviewing music on garageband.com.  It is a great way to hear new music.   Anyway, We have been really busy.  we have a 5 track demo cd if anyone wants just ask and we'll be happy to give it to you.  We play at Club Encore  That place shouldn't be call Encore but more something like, well I don't know, but more strange sounding, because the lights are crazy in there and makes you feel like you are tripping out and the art is very cool and original.  The sound is great too!  The system was so bumping that my record needle had a hard time staying in the grooves during our songs. 
We then played a house party at this girl Diamond's house over off S. Lamar.  The place was packed and everyone got shack-wackled and had fun.  Our set was kind of a disaster but that's what's fun about a house party; we can heckle each other through the night.  We had fun with it and suited up in the haz-mat suits and wnt to town with the fog and lights an people were partying and having fun!

Laserz at Rockin' Tomato Pizza


Yes. We are playing a pizza place. This isn't just any pizza place though. It is the Rockin Tomato. I swear, I see the same people every time I go in there. I go in there alot too. It is at: 3003 S Lamar Blvd, Austin, TX. The happy hour there is really cheap. The pizza is rad and the beer is good. Don't expect over the top ass-kissing service though. There is definitely a "pay-your-dues" local mentality to that place that is typically characteristic of local Austin establishments all over the city. We will be playing after Major, Major, Major who is opening and will start at 9:00. We will be playing at 10:00 sharp! The sound guy is really persistent about this. The doors will be locked closed at 12:00 midnight. I mean, shit, there's still two hours of night left to be had elsewhere. Why stay there, right? You ate, saw some good music, got a free demo cd, and drank shit tons of beer. So get the fuck out, drive around the Austin streets and go pass out on the apartment floor of some failed drunken booty-call that left your drunk ass there as she/he went to work the next morning.  Yes.  I feel sorry for those of you who recognize the flier.  It is the s.a.s.s.i., drug and alcohol awareness testing booklet that those poor souls who have had to endure probation for stupid shit have had to graffiti on at one point in their lives...

Ass! Shit! Bitch! And shit.... I just want to express myself and be full of all the self-righteous bullshit that I want to be full of. Don't you try to stop me. I love Jesus. And grandma too. I love erections in the morning, and long pisses before going to bed at night. I love the thought of Goldie Hawn jumping on the trampoline. I am stoked on the smell of your fart in a closed-window station-wagon with the heat turned on. I am wondering what in the hell dogs are feeling when they are seriously sticking their nose in deep butt crack and trying to make a decision whether to like you or hate you. I am the snot bubble that comes from the unwanted sneeze in the airplane. I am the dusty diggery-doo in the hipsters apartment who had a friend that went to Australia for a week once. I am bacon. I am tofu soaking in bacon. You are cheese. Goodnight.

On a comp... and shit.


Laserz! has bee pretty busy lately. Ok, well maybe not. But we've thought about being busy. We are building on a new studio trying to get some kind of cd together before our show at the Rockin' Tomato on Friday 1/29. Come to that show and drink some beer, eat some pizza, and liten to us and Major, Major, Major play. It should be a good little show and you will get a free Laserz cd.

Also, big news. Kill Red Rocket Records put us on their online comp. It is a great compilation with tons of new artists with genre defying sounds. Our good friends iok and Bloody Knives are on it along with lots brainfuckers from around the states.

Go to their blogsite and download the comp. Open your itunes. Make a new playlist and call it Kill Red Rockets. Unzip the file into a folder on your computer. Open the window to view the files. Ctrl+ click all the files in the folder. Drag and drop the files into your itunes. That way you will have all the files in order on your itunes in a separate playlist like a 40 track album. Press play and enjoy your evening...

The Laserz song on that album is called Commies. It is after Charlie left the band and before Billy and Steve jumped on. It is basically Todd and I trying to redefine our sound and keep the Laserz project going. It is a mix of 303 sequencer sounds with acoustic and electric guitar and a Yamaha MO6 along with a vinyl turntable. Overall it is the musical embodiment of a stoned, rainy afternoon.....
