Pete and Zia geeked out today at their new favorite spot for synth/sequencer/pedal etc. lovers, Control Voltage on N. Mississippi in Portland. If you dig this kind of stuff like we do, you need to stop by and lose a few hours in this place. Or, check out their site, since at least a few million of ya don’t live here yet.
Holy shit. These are my favorite dudes ever. When they’re all walking up to the house in the last shot I get this deja vu feeling that we’re all about to get really drunk and have an awesome time.
This is the book that got me home from our recent European tour. It was the perfect book for the job. It actually made me want the flight to be a little longer.
Basically it’s the life story of a small town 80’s cheese rocker who always gets in, but never gets all the way to the top, and ultimately finds out that he’s way better off where he is. (Which is: one of the most successful pop songwriter/producers in the world today, so….). But anyway, this guy is awesome, the stories are superfun, his life has been filled with stories of being tricked, fucked, lied to, lied about, ripped off, manipulated and screwed over that I thought only happened to The Dandy Warhols. Nice to know we weren’t the only sucker dipshits in the game.
Anyhoo, I’ve never heard any of his music and he does occasionally say some pretty silly shit but I can honestly say I’m a fan of him, his “voice” and his attitude about life so get this book. It’s great.
Thanks to all of those who helped us get where we were going this year, wether you bought a single or traveled around Europe or Australia or the US to see us at every show, we appreciate it more than we can ever say. Thank you so much for making us a part of your life. Twenty-thirteen’s already got some fun up its sleeve. Stay tuned, rockers.
