10/16/2007: WE SIGNED A NEW BAND!!!  Just kidding, we don't sign bands, we just jump them into our bicycle gang. For your own good, check out ASHTRAY, from Santa Rosa, CA. Trust me on this one. Loud, fast, obnoxious and fun. They like old crusty bands like BLATZ and FILTH. Click "play" to hear one of my favorite songs, "Punk Rock Candy Mountain"!!! From the The Rock n Roll Three-way CD! Or Download it! [Ashtray_Punk-Rock-Candy-Mountain.mp3 2.8MB] The most fun I've had going to punk shows over the past two years has been at ASHTRAY shows. I wish I had some better pictures of them, but I'm always to busy going nuts to take any good ones, so these are from Liz.  Be friends with Ashtray on MySpace if you're into that sort of thing. While you're at it, be friends with us too! Pay attention for an Ashtray full-length in 2008. Labels: Ashtray [4 Comments] |
10/15/2007: Product Placement Send us interesting pictures with Springman or Silver Sprocket gear, we'll make you famous. Nothing Nice To Say stickers available right here. And shirts over here. And new comics! Labels: Nothing Nice To Say [2 Comments] |
10/10/2007: We don't sell drugs Please join me in welcoming the newest member to the Springman / Silver Sprocket team: Pelouze! I rode past some friends while carrying Pelouze in my bicycle basket earlier, and everyone asked what kind of drugs I was selling. As if a scale of this type is accurate enough to sell drugs with! With Pelouze's help, the next few days will be spent updating our website to charge you more accurate amounts for shipping. This includes international rates, so you don't have to click any low-tech funky "extra postage" bullshit anymore. Most of these updates should be working now, but please let us know if you see something not working right or have any questions. We will start printing our own postage soon, and Pelouze will send you e-mails with tracking information! We're coming for you Amazon.com. Why the fuck did it take this long for us to get a postal scale? It's ok, we're beautiful. [1 Comments] |

October 2007 marks the 50th anniversary of Sputnik-1. The momentous launch was far from being part of a well-planned strategy to demonstrate communist superiority over the West. Instead, the first artificial satellite in space was a spur-of-the-moment gamble driven by the dream of one scientist, whose team scrounged a rocket, slapped together a satellite and persuaded the Kremlin to open the space age. -A.P. The Phenomenauts are commemorating this turning point in human civilization by unveiling our Latest flagship, The P.S.S. Hawking Cruiser. The maiden voyage on this months Western U.S. Tour will re-open the space age. (special 'Sputnik Mission' badge available at these shows.)

10/09/2007: The Something Special You have no business spending time on our website if you don't own all of the Bouncing Souls records, they are one of the most important and consistently incredible bands of our generation.Greg Attonito and his wife Shanti Wintergate played a mind-numbingly awesome acoustic set last Friday at The True Love Coffee Shop in Sacramento. Here is a WAV of them performing "The Something Special": [3.5MB]  Greg and Shanti are on tour doing readings from their self-released childrens book, I Went For a Walk. This has nothing to do with Silver Sprocket, though Danny Secretion set it up. We just thought you should know. Lots of updates and more stuff later. Come back Wednesday if you're brave, it isn't often that you find a Phenomenaut out of uniform. [1 Comments] |

We are punk as fuck, make no mistake. But sometimes, we'll end up at some hipster indy dance party, and shit just happens. Luckily, Nick Avey is around to take pictures. For bonus points, you can find lots of us all over his website. Don't tell the scene-police. Over 18? Lying about being over 18? Click here.      Seriously, don't ask.

10/02/2007: Getting Stuck With Roxy Epoxy I got to tour with The Epoxies last year, and was constantly asking "Who is this?" about the incredible music they'd play by band's I'd never heard before. Photo by josheesh With such a bad-ass punk/disco/new-wave sound, you know they have some stellar inspiration to draw on. I asked Roxy, the interpretive-spastic-dancing-queen and lead-singer, if she'd make a podcast for me with some of her favorite bands. Here it is! DOWNLOAD: [RoxyCast.mp3, 36MB] Click here to show the track-listing, but surprise yourself and listen to the whole thing first! This MP3 will stay up for a week, or until our server dies. 1.

10/01/2007: A message from Jason Webley Hello My Space Tomatoes,I've just finished my first full-length album in almost four years. It is the tightest, rockin'est thing I've ever worked on and I'm kicking off the release with a big tour with my full band. This is the cover of the record. I'll be putting up some of the music shortly.  [+/-] Click here to show/hide tour-dates and the rest of this post Here are the tour dates: October 11 - Seattle, WA - semi-private release party - 21+ October 12 - Bellingham, WA - Underground Coffeehouse October 13 - Olympia, WA - Capital Theater October 14 - Tacoma, WA - Masa October 16 - Portland, OR - Kennedy School Gym October 17 - Spokane, WA - Catarina Winery October 18 - Missoula, MT - The Loft October 19 - Boise, ID - The Reef October 20 - Salt Lake City, UT - Burt's Tiki Lounge - 21+ October 21 - Denver, CO - Swallow Hill October 22 - Albuquerque, NM - Curio October 23 - El Paso, TX - Margaritas October 24 - Phoenix, AZ - Trunk Space October 25 - Los Angeles, CA - Safari Sam's October 26 - Berkeley, CA - 924 Gilman Octoebr 27 - San Francisco, CA - 12 Galaxies - 21+ October 28 - Davis, CA - Delta of Venus October 29 - Arcata, CA - Jambalaya - 21+ October 30 - Ashland, OR - The Black Sheep October 31 - Eugene, OR - Wow Hall - with Architecture in Helsinki November 1- Portland, OR - Lewis and Clark College November 2 - Portland, OR - Reed College November 3 - Seattle, WA - Vera Project It is going to be a great tour. I am being joined by Jherek Bischoff, Michael McQuilken and L. Aex Guy. They all played on the new record and are completely amazing and will be playing short solo sets of their own material at most of these shows. I know I always ask for help spreading the word, but this time I really could use it. I've spent a bunch of time and money getting this record sounding right, but now I am way behind on getting the word out about these shows. So, please spread the word! Tell your friends in these cities to come to the shows. Blog about me, put my songs on your myspace page, arrange leaves in the shape of my new album cover at busy intersections, become the editor of your local paper and write an article about the show, hypnotize pigeons and train them to peck the lyrics of my songs in peoples sandwiches. Or, if you would like some cool flyers to give out to your friends, please reply with "street team" in the subject header and your e-mail. Let me know what city you are in and I will forward you some .pdf files. You can also send a message to: info@jasonwebley.com. If you'd REALLY like to help totally plaster your town with flyers, please write me and I can try to get you free tickets to a show in exchange. Ok, That is all for now. I am really excited about this album and this tour. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! -jason http://www.jasonwebley.com Related: Purchase Jason Webley CDs Labels: Jason Webley [0 Comments] |
