It's gonna cost 5 bucks, and it will start at 1pm.  There are 7 bands playing, so it is sure to be a blast. We hope to see you all there!

July 3rd: Well, it looks like the show on the 17th has been uncancelled, except now we have to find some other bands to play it. Hopefully we'll still have a show, so stay tuned.

June 10th:  Thanks alot to everyone who came and saw us last week, it was probably our best show ever, and it was amazing to be able to serve as sturgeon's band for some choking victim songs.  We'll never forget that.  Anyways, Tim is going to Spain tomorrow for a few weeks, so we're taking some time off until July.  We have a couple of new songs that we're working on, and this is all leading up to recording a 7 inch in (hopefully) the very near future.  So keep checking back here, cuz we will have shows coming up in july. See you then.


 

May 18th:  Yo we got two shows coming up, both of which we are psyched for, especially the show in June, cuz we're playing with Sturgeon from Leftover Crack. He'll be doing acoustic renditions of Leftover Crack songs, so if you're a fan come on down, it's sure to kick ass. 


 

May 13th: Well, thanks to the brilliant idiots at concerts first, we are now playing on Sunday the 15th, as opposed to the 14th as we thought and told all of you we were. We apologize for this inconvenience, if we had actually been informed by the promoters that we might be playing a different day, we would have informed all of you long ago. Anyways, our set time is 3:25pm, and we'll be playing about a twenty minute set.  Hopefully we'll still see alot of you there.


 

May 5th: Hey everyone, the band list for the show tomorrow has been finalized. It'll be Cervix with a Smile opening the show, then us, and then finally Hail Plankton.  Hope to see you all there,  This will be the last show at Clark University this year!

March 27: Sup everybody? we played a rockin show this past friday in wellesley, despite some vocal problems.  Thanks to all the kids who came out and danced for us, there was definitely some sick pit action going on. Also thanks to all the other bands that came out and rocked, especially SHU for letting us borrow their bass amp.  Right now the next show we have listed is in may at the Worcester Palladium, but we are working on getting at least one show in april back at Clark University.  So stay tuned!


 

March 24th: Hey all, we just added the new recording of the song "One Day" to our MP3s, give it a listen at our "purevolume" thing. You can find it in our Multimedia section. Also, we just added a new show for May 14th at the Worcester Palladium. Finally, we have a show tomorrow, and I, Jake, have bronchitus. This doesnt mean we aren't playing. It does, however, leave a lot of room for crowd participation. So if you know the words to any of our songs, please come up on stage and sing into the mics with us. Thanks

 

March 20th: Hey everyone, im sorry to say that the show at clark university has been cancelled due to an inability to get a space for it. Don't fret too much, because we are working on a makeup date, probably in april, so keep your eyes peeled.  Also a reminder we are playing this friday at the UU church in Wellesley, so you all should come to check that show out. See y'all later.

See you all later.


 

March 9th: Hey everyone, we've spent the past three days recording some new songs.  Its been pretty stressful but so far they seem to have come out really well.

Just a reminder we have a show coming up this sunday in JP with some kick ass bands that you should all see, so come on down! also we've got another show just added coming at the end of the month. See you soon!

It makes us feel loved.
