"With Friends Like These" is the new "For The Good Of The Armor"

in what appears to be a mix up in the pressing on the Staring at the Sun compilation, the title track of our album has been put on in place of "for the good of the armor" .... so in case you picked up a copy and didn't notice the difference, there it is. but hey, thankfully you can still catch For the Good Of the Armor on myspace. and with friends like these isn't up there, so all works out.

if you didn't make it out last night, it was a great night. free El Zarape (had a couple potato rolled tacos and some cheese quesadillas with guac and salsa). Tim Pyles was broadcasting in the back. a bunch of sd locals rolled out, natalie from it's too sunny, frantic romantic folks, joanie and matt, kerrie from Book of martyrs, matt from hotel st. george, the swim party guys, tom and sarah, and many more. it was great seeing em all for a fun night. if you missed out, don't worry, they'll be doing some more "Staring At The Sun" release shows throughout the month. I think i heard the next one is at U31 sometime mid-month.

oh, and the tracklist:

shows aplenty

the calendar is stacking up with shows. we're giving you nearly a month off from the mods before we come back. Hard. in addition to the previously announced 2/29 ken club and 3/7 beauty bar (both fridays for those who can't stand midweek shows) ... how about an all ages saturday show and a free sunday at the casbah? yeah, cause we're that nice. here's how it's looking ....

02/29/08 The Ken Club .... w/ Syndicate, Repeater

03/07/08 The Beauty Bar ..... w/ Apes of Wrath, Music For Animals

The Casbah show will be extra good as we're playing with Secret Apollo, Anna Troy, Echo Revolution and Andy & The Haunted Honky Tonkers. apparently The show is FREE!!! (wha?!) ... a FREE compilation will be given out (free music,what/!?) and the drinks .... will still cost money. but with all that money you'll save at the door and on merch, you can now buy enough booze to get you and your friends drunk without breaking the bank (and still afford the taxi home). yay sundays!
