ERICS BIRTHDAY/HALLOWEEN PARTY/SHOW

tomorrow night. erics house. much fun to come.

hello october

some new shit going on.

new photos of the jam spot.

steiss's new organ. radddddd.




mikes pedals. sweet vintage flanger that totally doesent sound like a stupid airplane taking off, but something else we cant put our collective fingers on. note to effects pedal companies, make pedals like this again! plus our faithful drummer, Igor Podella.


four hundred dollar one trick pony. used for noise. i (michael newton) can almost control this shit with my left toes. not yet tho.


my (michael newton's) new pedal board. note several cheapo behringer pedals, velcro-ed ashtray, guitar pick holder AND strobe light. noise party.


mike and i's dual fender red knob years amplifiers.
champ and powerchorus respectively. everyone knocks em, fuck it. loud as shit, beautiful clean tone, under dog amps for an under dog band.


aswell,
we are playing a houseparty this friday for halloween, if you know us, get ahold of us, you're probably already going. debuting some new shit to our set. headaches and next-day rum shakes assured.

ALSO.

we're pretty confident in saying our new place is haunted. countless noises, electronics turning off and on and weird corner of the eye sightings lead us to believe this.

we are OPENLY inviting the producers of paranormal state to come hang out and film with us. we'll put you up on some comfy futons, feed you cheap wine and show you a great time. plus, you producer types love us young 'indie rock' types, dont you?

anywhom,
see ya.

ex-genes.
ex-lax.
lets go to the ex!

one week

some shots around the new jam space/home.
expensive genes houseswarming 2009. coming up in a week. if you read the blog you probably already know, if not, you have one week to get to know us.

HALLO

we have not died. we are just all in the process of finalizing our new address above a popular fish and chip shop. Once the physical paperwork of lugging shit over and setting shit up (and knocking it down) is done, we will be setting up a proper home studio to record some of our musical ramblings and sharing them with you.

gunning for a seven inch release still,
gunning for some shows surrounding it
gunning for a gun to shoot these fucking pigeons (just kidding)

but really
seee you soon.
xoxo

demo

whats up.
we are quite drunk, and we just recorded this at the house at on markham street (i apologize if your our neighbor). live off the floor demo version...

these words dont forge, you and me
im tired, expired, i've deleted sleep
windows bleed with rain
and i watch them streak
warm hands wont thaw the spring in me.

i am cocaine, and bottles filled to the brim
poison contained, but watch me wash over him
its right, dont fuss, just let us do what me must
young man, fly high across the universe

Expensive Genes - Modern Graves (Greyves is a shade i know too well Remix)

weird enough, here is the remix of a song you have yet to hear by us. The original is planned for a summertime self-funded (unless you've got the cash) release. We're going to keep it from you until then, but you can get a different gist (jist? JIZT? GIZZZZST?) of it from this. Please enjoy.

Here is a short video of us covering our favorite band. Check out the cute picture of the German Shepard on the wall.

ADD US ON MYSPACE....

AHH JUST KIDDING. WE DONT HAVE A MYSPACE. :P

EAT IT>

four/for/fore

aside from boatloads of heroin, hunting and voting conservative, we have other hobbies...
today our pal bill brought us to a driving range and mini-putt.

tonight we recorded most of a new song. should be up this week once drums are finished.
here are some photos of the first activity.

p.s.
mike c. won 8 bucks for winning mini putt.
it came down to double extra rounds between him and bill.
it was entertaining.

so we're not dead.
just busy.


been working on some new songs in the home studio we are slowly putting together. hopefully finish recording them soon.

today is mr.steiss's birthday.

here are some paintings he has done of us.




pretty cool huh?

live video

if the coughing fits download

hello. it has come to my attention that it may be tiresome to stream that boring video every time you would like to listen to the song. so, click the link below to download the mp3.

thanks

if the coughing fits

we went into a rehearsal room today and wrote and recorded a new song. here is the accompanying video (blogger doesent have a feature to upload just mp3s, for good reason i assume) so dont pay much visual attention, rather just listen.
some pics of the process follow it.
let us know what you think.
