We Play Tonight with Terry Malts and Sudden and Subtle at Vaudeville mews door 9:30. Chris had his arm amputated and broke his other one so he will be playing the chex mix can, singing and live tweeting. Eric Moffitt will be filling in on 90's style alternative electric bass. Prepare for a short, embarrassing set!
New Member charles? Do they still play? I heard the bass player had his arm amputated? Yes the answer is yes. After 4 months of banging our heads against the wall we are playing a musical concert. We have a dozen new songs, a baby, our bass player is missing an arm and new stupid cheap merch that wont sell. 2012 is the year of the hot dog. Prepare to dig in.
April 26th 10pm At Vaudeville Mews With Terry Malts and Sudden and Subtle. New member charles will launch a 2 hour (actually 35 minute) long musical campaign that will make Clint the acting..and directing.. bar tender and snoopy alike cry tears of honey blossom joy. We will be pissing excitement all over Des Moines Iowa in the form of ghost rock. Dan the drummin drummer will return to the stage with a vigor that will rival the toughest nature animal. Jeff the dog will jump though hoops. Chris fresh of his arm amputation will struggle to play bass but will be wearing his new shoes which is sure to get the ladies just right. And I will be honest and polite to the audience members about your Uncle Tim. Get your tickets now, tell your dad too, cause dads day is right around the corner and dads love strip clubs. Did we mention Terry Malts kicks ass...they do!
Things were going so good in that last paragraph.
Then theres Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Remember this whiney ass post. Pretty stupid and whiney huh? Well here it is again Al, this is our annual we didn't get into GDP post again. We heard the news late last Month. Dan called and said "Josh...are you setting down Pal?
I responded "Hey Dan, yep I'm cleaning my guitar for the new GDP concert."
"Aw cripes Josh, ya see sometimes things don't turn out the way we plan them. Remember that time you told me how you wanted to be a space traveler?" Dan said.
" Yes Dan, turns out I cannot be one due to my lip scar. Dan what are you getting at?" I Replied.
"We didn't get in josh, we didn't make GDP" Dan Said.
"Then all is lost Dan, Des Moines will not hear the one band to rule them all." Josh said, then hung up and made Macaroni and hotdogs. And watched the extended cut of Fellowship of the Ring.
This cheered me up some as did the Mac and chess with hotdogs.
Looking back,maybe if Chris wouldn't have lost his goddamn arm we would have got in, we've been trying to get him to stop racing ford trucks for years but he doesn't listen. Rumor has it we were short on webclicks and fans too. I like to think of each of our songs as gross little products for open ears to spoon up, we'll see still holding out for bacon fest. Good news on the GDP front , our close pals Love Songs For Lonely Monsters did get in, so while there will be no Charles on stage there will be Charles in the crowd watching them and showering them with frankfurters. Oh and Tires will be there too, they are super good as well so we will shower them with frankfurters too. You should do the same... and give us more webclicks too so we can get into one of these festiver shows.
Hey Ghosties, NMC has been in full writing mode the past month or two and are working on getting a string of videos out for our last ep "Lets Invent the Smell-o-Phone". Heres the first of hopefully 3 or 4. Without further adieu feast youreyes on Jokey Smurf Box...in video....we just blew some kids mind in south america....again!
A few fans have been writing in, asking questions like: "Ayyo, New Member Charles, my favorite band with a GHOST for a keyboard player, why the radio silence?"
Well, lemme tell ya, it's because we've beenhard at work with writing new songs!
hard at work with writing new songs!
What songs you ask?? Take a gander at these future gems!!
PLUS,we have a NEW song that we've been working on. But I don't remember it's name. Dan named it. It's like Tuna(something) or Taco(something). I don't remember. But it exists!! Trust me.
So like when can we hear these new mastepieces??
I don't know yet. But be sure to stay tuned and we'll let you know!!
Whooo-eee, kiddos. Wonderful tidings from Charles-ville as I find you in super-excito mode today. I know this. How do I know you’re in super-excito mode?? We Got All Reviewed!!
Chad Taylor at Des Moines Cityview, saw it in his infinite wisdom to lake a gander at our lovely soundscape filled journey called Let's Invent The Smell-O-Phone!! The paper of RECORD. Talk'em 'bout US!! Imagine!!
"^Album Cover^"
So, what he have to say?? Take it away, C-Tay:
"If rock was a religion, then New Member Charles’ particular brand of feckless, homogenous bro-rock would be a smarmy priest, creepily sidling up to your poor, altar-boy ears, invading the dark recesses of your brain against your will, and whispering that God will kill your parents if you tell anyone."
Wowzrs!! Pretty Awesome, Huh!! I know!! Checker out the full review HERE, and be sure to catch your favorite rock band with a ghostas a keyboard player who also has a bassist who gets confused between a review for his own band and a review for Nickleback's latest classic.
