Ken Club Tonight!

don't miss out on your free friday night entertainment. Ken Club tonight. 10pm - Syndicate, 11pm - Repeater, 12pm - The Modlins.

It's gonna be an exciting night. we'll be, of course, playing many selections from our now Itunes available albums "With Friends Like These" and the 2007 SDMA nominated "best pop album" "Here's To Being Happy."

see you tonight!

coming up next ...

if you made it out last night, you know how great it was. but we refuse to stop (you know, that whole objects in motion tend to stay in motion thing?) .... we're cooking up some big things in the modlins idea pot, and they're almost soup. what big things you say?

maybe a music video, a tour, a TV performance?

yes and yes.

more details to come in the next week or two on all these fronts, but don't think we're slowing down. in the meantime, we've got 2 amazing shows coming up. Double up fridays! we return for a friday night gig at the ken club with up and comers Syndicate and Repeater (from Long Beach). last time i saw Repeater at the Ken, i was amazed. they had a kind punk-y wolf parade-ish quality to them. I think we all bought EPs after their set. you'll not want to miss it.

then friday next week, Apes of Wrath's CD RELEASE PARTY at The Beauty Bar!!!

casbah, round two

recap of casbah, round one ... if you didn't make it out last night to casbah, you missed out. Frantic Romantic Killed it .... i'm thinking '08 is gonna be there year. thanks again to tim for having us on air, spinning Her Political Heart, and being all around one of the coolest guys in the local scene.

in case you've been under a rock, we're playing tonight at the Casbah with british sea power and colourmusic. woo!

as for this week, since i've forgotten to do my "if you were me" bits .... tomorrow night there's this thing put on by SushiArt that will have Andrew Bujalski (director of Mutual Appreciation) and The Duplass Brothers (directors of The Puffy Chair) down at a place called BASIC on 10th in downtown. apparently the Muslims are also playing a set. I couldn't find much info on it, but the last fewbday/xmas gifts from my filmmaker friend Gen has been these two films, so i think this event is pretty noteworthy. wednesday, i'll be heading out to catch Andy and the boys in Writer play U31. and of course, don't miss Friday at The Ken Club (as if you needed reminding). we're playing with Syndicate and Repeater. and here's a picture cause i know people hate posts without pictures (taken by Neda at our last U31 show) -

Kite Flying Society Breaks Up

so i just read that fellow san diego indie-pop band, Kite Flying Society, has broken up.

http://www.youaintnopicasso.com/2008/02/20/kite-flying-society-break-up/

funny that i found out about local band news on a kentucky music blog (or more specifically, from Alex). i hadn't seen them around town much and knew they'd been recording, but i guess that didn't quite come to fruition. best of luck to all the members, and perhaps we'll keep our eyes peeled for a new pop band 'round town.

PLAN A!!!!

City Beat's giving our monday night casbah show the seal of approval (the coveted Plan A) .... though i'm pretty sure it's cause it's with British Sea Power, but we'll take what we can get. you know where you should be.
