Pitchfork put out one of the most criminally underrated albums in punk.

Nick's bass line opening that LP is so good.

I'm pretty sure "Burn Pigs Burn" was on every mixtape I ever made anybody in the 90's. Haven't listened to that record in a while, need to dig it. Did anybody else's cover have the gold part kinda of flake off? Forgot it was on Nemsis also, I just always think of Insted, Awfulspring, Reason To Believe and 4 sided slogan shirts, not Pitchfork.

The Roadhouse is a house, which means the show shouldn't go too late. You should have plenty of time to get back across the bay and get your beauty sleep.

Coming to a show would be a good way to do that.

So I guess the correct answer is; you have nothing recorded.

That is correct, kinda. We have some stuff recorded, but it's not yet complete. I did a session of vocals this morning. Lead vox should be done next week. Backing vox and mixing will be done when we are all together on Feb. 23/24. I'll hopefully throw something on youtube before we head up north.

There is still time for you to buy a ticket out and sell t-shirts.

I moved from CA to PA to HI to PA to OH. The rest of the band lives in CA, though.

Lewdd quit over that? There must have been some PMing back and forth we didn't know about.
