prowess

so last night before eric and mark headed over to meet up with roy, gabe and chicken at The Habitat, and before matt and i got to work fine-tuning more vocals and making it so noone will ever know i messed up the bass part at 1 min 56 seconds in to [insert super secret song title here], there was a discussion on the word "prowess". actual, it wasn't really a discussion as much as it was a sentence, a sentence saying that the word "prowess" is only really ever used in either the context of superheroes, or immediately following the word "sexual". what does that have to do with anything? who knows. what i do know is that i just finished updating the left column of this blog : The Modlins are coming... : with the next 7 shows, all of which happen before the end of this month of March!

yes, the Modlins are coming to The Radio Room here in San Diego, The Que Sera in LBC, The Knitting Factory Hollywood, and then we go up, up to the Red Room in the PDX, Eugene's Black Forest, Olympia WA's LeVoyeur, back to the PDX for Mississippi Pizza, and then back home. Sadly, we are skipping NorCal entirely because apparently, noone wants us there. Oh well. With friends like these, you know?

Or something. Poster coming soon?

Benefit For Leukemia and Lymphoma Society

So our friends are doing Team In Training and will be running a full marathon in October to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We're trying to help them raise money, so we've organized a special show next saturday (8/16) at The Radio Room (ex-Zombie Lounge). Our good friends, The Roman Spring, along with the amazing alt-folk band Hellow Sunshine (feat. members of Crash Encore) will be playing. it's only $5 to get in and all proceeds from the door go to benefit this cause. in addition, there will be a raffle, and plenty of other good greatness (or is it great goodness?) It all goes down Saturday August 16th, at 9pm. So please come out to support their cause and catch a great show.
