UPDATE: Whoops! You missed it! It's gone! Guess you'll have to wait until 4/7...

Here Comes Sickness

We're now two days removed from a safe return from a four day jaunt that took us from the Lower East Side down to Chapel Hill North Carolina in a flurry of driving, yelling, anonymous pant dropping, and an impromptu dance party/snow attack.

We headed out on Thursday morning at 8AM with the band (save John, who was snugly at work in NYC) and my roommate/life coach/Radical Feminist Policy adviser Kelsey and hit NY mid-afternoon just in time to grab Thai food and go record hunting before loading into the Cake Shop and being generally exhausted. We barreled through the set and spent some quality time with Dave from LBC and the members of Radical Dads. We hauled it out of there to John's place where we put on Last House On the Left and I promptly fell asleep before any of the more colorful parts.

After a full day of work... Well, Work for Jay and "work" for me, lest I get grilled later for this, we headed to The Castle in Hell and met up with Travess, who was kind enough to provide a psych/shoegaze DJ set for the night and tore things up with Radical Dads and Holy Trinity River, who also ran the place and were incredibly nice and hospitable.

The next morning we hauled as at 8AM to get to Blacksburg to play with The Caribbean and continually threatened to drop Kelsey off in Buchanan (Pronounced BUCK-cannun to those unfamiliar with the lesser known drawls of the lower parts of VA) to find her a husband that smelled like tires.

We arrived in Blacksburg to Indian food and participated in some van drinking after ann extremely uncomfortable brush with the locals at Buffalo Wild Wings. Our performance at Crossroads marked the first time Cinemasophia have played at a venue that also sold an inordinate amount of midget porn.

We ate at an IHOP the next morning and I wanted to bomb the place. Jay's fish omelette was the most disgusting piece of shit I have ever seen. We got the fuck out of there.

Chapel Hill was awesome. Every record ever was there and people were amazing and I ate mac and cheese and really, that place could redeem any horrible experience. We played our asses off, drank free Schlitz, and Jay and I managed to leave some of our clothes there BECAUSE WE WERE HAVING SO MUCH FUN. Then we piled in the van and listened to depressing music and fell asleep at around 4AM. Everyone got sick.

Twisting Your Mind and Smashing Your Dreams...














Excitement is in the air in our camp, as we've just received the first full pass of the mastered "Fits & Cycles" done by the fantastic Alan Douches of West West Side Mastering. Keep it tuned here for album art, track list, release date, etc. They sound amazing, and we can't wait til you can all hear 'em.

Despite the expression, Landis thought they were delicious.

Wrecking Shop















Friday marked the end of our two- weeks- ish off from playing shows, and we celebrated the occasion by going all upscale and actually renting a van to drive up to NYC. Dan, Elise, Jay, Landis, and Tracy (from Little Black Cloud, as mentioned in previous posts) rocked the 15-Pass all up on I-95N, and I met them at the Cake Shop on the Lower East Side after a long hard day at work. I arrived to Dan and Jay acting all giddy-like that they had just seen Phoebe Cates downstairs, supervising her son's band. He himself was that 'batin kid from "The Squid and the Whale", so I think it's safe to say we were in the presence of movie stars. I did not see them myself, but apparently Mrs. Kevin Kline has still got it going on (in the Stacy's mom sense). The show went swimmingly and the crowd was fantastic, and we got to play with some great bands (McGregor Burns, Fredrik, & Arizona). My apartment in Bushwick turned into Camp Crashpad (except for Jay) for Friday evening, then we all woke up and had a lovely brunch at Harefield Road. We then, of course, went record shopping at Permanent Records in G'point before settling back at the house with a couple of bottles of wine and "Gummo" on DVD. Soon, we knew...it was house party time....and I'll let someone else post about that. XOXO John
