Review: New York Press on our Brooklyn Don Pedro show

July 27th, 2010 by Douglas

New York Press did a review of our recent Brooklyn show. It seems the reviewer Adam Wisnieski exerted all effort to try and not call us a Shellac clone. Good for him, not sure if he succeeded really. And PIGS guitarist Jack’s amp, a Green/Matamp, was its own company, not just “an Orange amp painted green”. Let’s see, any more nits to pick… nope, I think we’re clear. Oh, he missed Forgetters, which was a huge shame and his loss.

Recent Activities

We’ve been a little quiet lately, mostly due to schedule issues and non-band related traveling. But we’re coming back to life starting soon. Some things in the pipeline:

– a new recording, planned as a limited edition cassette and (not-limited) digital download

– new t-shirts and goodies

– a tour to exotic places this fall, more tba

We’ve adjusted the web site a bit, made it simpler, and disabled commenting. We didn’t have any problems with comment spam or anything like that, but we decided that added to the clutter, and we hate clutter. If you want to contact us, send us an email.

  • I (Douglas) sat on a rowdy guy while playing 'Massachusetts' last night at Lucky Gator. I hope he wakes up sore and feels like an asshat. #
