We are on it. Now.

Itunes that is.

Lots of show soon. We are on that too.

We are not going to be on a podcast. No. We are going to be on a radio show. This one:

The Punk Rock Demonstration is a punk rock radio show hosted by Jack featuring punk rock from around the world. You'll find the most interesting music, interviews, bands, and exotic news every Monday at 7PM Pacific Time.

There. That's what that is.

Go here to check it out:

Hey!

Big Thursday show coming up withour buddy Blake from Austin TX. On tour with his band Aliens

You dig them, don't you? I'm listening to them right now as I type this.

Paulie's July 24th.

It's done!

I've got 4 gigantic boxes of CDs on my porch.

If you are local, head on down to Waiting Room and get it there.

If you are non-local (and many are, I hear) then order it from our label Misc Music in a week or so I would imagine.

If you want to download it from Itunes or some other online source, be patient. Big wheels are slowly turning.

I have given this album it's own page on this site and you can check out our onesheet too!

So, here is what is happening as of right now.

We are playing a bunch of shows this summer. The kindly folks at Paulie's have favored us with a residency there and we will be playing select Thursdays there all summer. Our first will be June 5th with Common Loon from Champaign.

Our buddies Spanish for 100 are coming to town on June 21. We will be playing at IBC.

Plans are afoot to play St. Louis, Austin. Maybe Memphis? How many bands is $4 gas going to kill do you think? New fun pictures of the band, I want to do a video too. And a pony.

If Iknew more about graphic design, I would be holding our new album "Muttonhead" in my hands right now. I don't. I wait.

Do you remember last fall when I was going on that I was going to start my own record label? Remember that you thought that it was a fine idea but a bit ambitious? "That's a lot more work than he thinks. When will he have time for that? I don't see that coming off at all."
Well, your lack of faith in me is disheartening but accurately placed. But I am happy to report that you are right for the wrong reasons. 
That is because just as I was formulating my plan Blake contacted us and wanted  to put our album on his superb Austin Texas label, Miscellaneous Music. 
Now we bask in the reflected glory of folks like Jad Fair, Daniel Johnston, Blake's own band Aliens and many more (go check it out!)
Much easier that way, no?

I am mixing-listening-rejecting-re-recording-mixing-"Ah, that's better?"-etc...We'll hopefully have our next Album "Muttonhead" finished early in the new year.

In the meantime you can catch us with Bob Burns and the Break-ups at Paulies on a chilly Jan 16. It's a Wednesday, but I know many of you have negligible day-jobs, so "No Excusos" as my old friend Jose Luis Huerta used to say to me...

Also, a show in Indy?

I just want to let you know what a good band is Secondary Modern

They play a kind of Elvis Costelloish Stiff Records pub-rock but maybe a little more psychedelic/garage punk. Difficult to describe. Just go listen.

Even though they are tucked way down there in Carbondale, they get out and play. If they come to your town, go see them. You will come away impressed.

This Friday  September 14 with our new friends Secondary Modern

It's our Carbondale debut. What do you think, taffeta or chiffon?

Nervously poppy songs makes Constant Velocity's debut endearing 

Posted Friday, August 17, 2007


Constant Velocity, "Constant Velocity" (self-released) . . ¨

Constant Velocity, from downstate Bloomington, offer up an endearingly askew debut of indie rock. The recording, the handmade cardboard sleeve, even Alex Smith's vocals seem held together by tenuous strands of tape. Those ragged edges make Constant Velocity's craft more compelling.

The trio's nervously poppy songs bring to mind college rock favorites from The Decemberists to the Violent Femmes. The guitars mostly stick with a jangly, fuzzy indie/classic rock sort of tone, although opener "Consolation" flirts with some surprising distortion. While low-key tunes like "The Smoker" and "Fault" slink along on brittle vocal melodies, more uptempo tracks like "3sa Crowd" and "The Cloud" flit about with art-punk energy. With its copious guitar slinging and Smith's shakily wide-eyed singing, "Genius" plays like a particularly gloomy slab of jam rock.

Constant Velocity's restless approach remains infectious almost despite its own precious brittleness. One hopes this debut's charming, less-than-polished veneer won't be too smoothed over as the band gains experience.
