5/28/2008: NASA is sending The Phenomenauts into space! ::Transmission:: Photo: Joe Niem After eight years of searching, NASA has discovered THE PHENOMENAUTS, on their very own home planet. The band was honored with a VIP tour of NASA's Houston headquarters last week, which included meetings with astronauts, scientists, and hands-on experience with space station parts and training facilities. The song "Infinite Frontier" (from the band's brand new full length, For All Mankind) will be brought on board The International Space Station as part of the upcoming STS-124 mission, where it will be played for the crew's first wake up. Wake-up calls are a long-standing tradition of the NASA program. Each day during the mission, flight controllers in the Mission Control Center will greet the crew with an appropriate musical interlude. The track asks "All the way from the bottom of the ocean to the upper atmosphere, there are astronomical possibilities, so why should we stop here?" and demands that we "Press onward!" THE PHENOMENAUTS met with Mark E. Kelly who will be commanding the STS-124 shuttle mission to deliver the Pressurized Module and robotic arm of the Japanese Experiment Module, known as "Kibo" (hope), to The International Space Station. Linear notes for the band's previous album, Re-Entry, state that it is dedicated to the brave men and women of NASA. Now, these scientists are finally aware of their admiration. THE PHENOMENAUTS have been invited back to NASA's Houston headquarters for an extended tour and to shoot a music video for the song "Heroes" about the men, women, and animals that lived and died to advance our planet's space program. Stay tuned as THE PHENOMENAUTS debut the animated music-video for "Infinite Frontier" next week, a collaboration with Emmy Award-winning animation writer RICH FOGEL (Justice League, Batman Beyond, Transformers: Animated) and animator ERICA HENDERSON (Venture Brothers/Astrobase Go). BE EXCITED!!! Science And Honor, =Command and Control= ::End Transmission:: Labels: The Phenomenauts [1 Comments]

I like Ike So there we were doing mail order, minding our own business, when the floor collapsed into the sacramento catacombs, being the curious and non-chalant fellows we are we ignored that the office and avis apartment was just destoyed (ironicly not destroyed were all the cds we need to sell that are still on sale!) and began down a dark and foreboding tunnel that lead us a big fucking box of 'up the fixx' promotional cd's. Since the cd has been out for about a year now the point of using a promotional copy for its textbook use is void we have been sticking these in mailboxes, cribs, wedding cakes, the bottom of cereal boxes, potato bins, anywhere we can get our grubby hands on. but i assume people are gona be angry when they get these precious gifts from baby jesus (us) and not appreciate it. So if you truly want one, hunt us down like the dogs we are and ask for one, or like always, if you send us packages of awesome stuff/things/goods we'll send you a package back with one in it, and maybe some other stuff you didnt ask for/want. We always appriciate it when you fine folks proove you exist. GADZOOKS! Look at this awesome thing!!!! The Interwebs tell me that Knowhere Records is, as we vicariously chat through past computer scriblins, working on a Groovie Ghoulies tribute album. Im pretty excited, god speed brave snakecharmers. As mentioned before, we uncovered hidden harlets related treasures in a very arceologicaly adventurous fashion (speaking of, if you didnt like the new Indiana Jones you can go eat a bowl of dicks because Indiana Jones can do whatever he wants and fall into whatever crazy scenario he pleases. That said Shilo Boufe cannot and neither can his Jumanji monkeys.) anyway, we have a fuck-ton of sleeves for up the fix left over, so we donated them to Deputy Danny Sprocket for the release of the first comp on his Label "Fishnuts Records" which concentrates on younger bands in sacramento and the surrounding areas. So Him, Lys Mayo, Nojan, and myself spent a good afternoon fucking up his front yard converting harlets albums to house "bust a nut" so he can get this release out there once and for all. I believe the comp costs around 2 bucks and if you arent a jerk (and your not a jerk are you?) you should check it out and give him an order so he gets too swamped with business to finish school and ruins his future. Harrass him here But more on that jerk soon. New features, new albums, new ideas, lots of new projects including one thats gona make my head explode, sales, stickers, shows, crazy schemes, all kinds of new things are afoot and we would be honored if you would join us. -Eoin out- Labels: Groovie Ghoulies, Teenage Harlets [0 Comments]

5/08/2008: Hey Kepi, how ya doin? So my plan was to write a big proclamation full of spelling mistakes and plot holes about Kepi's 2 new Cd's and how great they are why you should drop that mouse or newborn and run to your nearest buying facility for em. But this picture already said it for me. And let us not forget the clusterfuck of good times Kepi will have his hand in this summer on the Asian Man records Tour! Our very own Mitch Clem even drew the poster! Tomorrow in Sacramento Kepi will wrangle all his pals and play a free show at Cesar Chavez park with Kevin Second to celebrate his new records, and you should totally go! Mike Tahutos is coming! and be sure not to forget the other members of Kepi the band, and Kepi and Friends, Freak, Dino, Danny, Jazz and Lys, you all make me so proud! -Eoin out- Labels: Groovie Ghoulies, Nothing Nice To Say [2 Comments]

5/06/2008: GO!! BANNANAS! Hi! I'm Eoin and now that I've got the codes to this metaphorical missile silo I'm gonna be vandalizing it with all kinds of wacky shit because the era of Avi's terrany is over. Power to the Proletariat! But first something of actual relevance. The Teenage Harlets corpse has finally subsided in stinking up the joint, but it seems most still can not accept that its over. Who knows what kinda of necromancer could come into the fold in the future and resurrect our favorite jerks but for now all we have is the memories, and unfortunately for a lot of us those memories do not include the final show which was 21+. But to sooth our melancholy hearts the Harlets recorded before it all went ka-put and put the worlds best fruit/dance anthem "go!! bananas!" to cd-r, and you can go to the Silver Sprocket myspace and put it on your profile to impress all the most potassium rich fellas/gals. These days, Johnny Dismal is deep in his new projects like Horror X and you're sure to hear of one of Atom's 34,871 other bands sometime very soon. Mark my words outlander. The Harlets have left a hole in my heart and at least 2 other organs. Thanks for nothing assholes. Truly, Madly, Deeply Eoin Labels: Teenage Harlets [0 Comments]

5/01/2008: Update from The Rum Diary on Shuteye Unison! Jon and Daniel from The Rum Diary have a new project called Shuteye Unison! Their new CD comes out soon on Jon's own Parks And Records: Daniel Mckenzie (vocals/guitar) and Jon Fee (bass/vocals) officially linked up with Jake Krohn (drums) in early 2007 when he signed on to help fulfill several outstanding live obligations for their then current band, The Rum Diary (on hiatus). Soon after the three started to write and record together as a musical outlet from each of their other concurrent projects; Daniel (Built for the Sea), Jon (Mijuanito) and Jake (The Action Design). One year later they emerged with a handful of songs they could not deny and so Shuteye Unison was born. This release was self recorded and mixed with Pall Jenkins (Blackheart Procession, Three Mile Pilot) at SDRL. Each song represents its own symbiotic dance between soaring guitars, melodic bass lines, heavy drums, and catchy hypnotic vocals. *** First 100 orders will receive a limited mini-documentary on the making of the record, studio fool'n, and the like. Preorder Now (ships early May)*** [0 Comments]

DON'T STOP! There's more!
