Super Old Video Discovered!

Hey, check it out, THIS VIDEO is from 2008 (MySpace!). It was filmed by Marty Ploy at the Broken Neck during the period when legendary punk cartoonist Ben Snakepit was our guitarist. (When the camera swings over to the crowd 4 seconds in, you can see Rawn Hall, who, unbeknownst to any of us at the time, would soon be filling that position.) Anyway, the video is of a very poor quality, but I thought it might be worth posting for it's historic value. The song is an old one that's not on any of our records, so I'll give you the lyrics here, since you can't hear them:

Same song, 27th verse
things get better then they get a lot worse
I swear you've put me through
so much mental anguish I could sue
we know we never go go go
I'm a square peg and you're a round hole
therefore, we cannot fit
never work out but we never want to quit
but this time I promise I'm
really moving on

OK, OK, I'm sure
you don't believe me 'cause I said it before
but now it's really done
I'mma go out and I'mma find someone
that's right, but 'til I do
I was kinda wondering if you
would come out and hang over with me
maybe have a drink or two or three
but next time I promise I'm
really moving on

"Wasted Opportunities" - Australian zine

Jeff was recently interviewed at length for the Australian zine Wasted Opportunities. You should totally order one. It's a pretty good interview and the price of $3 (+$2 shipping) is still below the cost of producing and mailing the zine. True DIY done for the love of the scene. Pick one up today.

We have fun.
