P. Mayben Slips Disc!



It is true. Maybe it is from his mammoth fills/cymbal hits/or his sure handed text messaging. We will see.

We are sad to report that we have to cancel our Portland show on October 30th. P. Mayben is recovering, but we will be giving his back 8-10 more days to heal up.

Our next show will be at the all ages VERA Project on November 18th with Eux Autres, Matthew Shaw, and Math and Physics Club.

We also would like to report that plans to record LP #2 in mid December are in place. We will be working in Wallingford at HANDS OF TROY studios. Truly one of the best garage/basement recording set ups ever told.

SPECIAL REPORT---BOAT CANCELS SHOW




Unfortunately, due to some sickness/medical emergency we won't be able to play tonight in Bellingham at Racetrack's final show. We are bummed. We will update soon and fully expect to play our next show in Portland on October 30th.

Boat - Clogged Castle

This is BOAT playing Clogged Castle. Presumably when it was performed it was indeed in time with the mouths of the singing band members. You can spy P. Mayben playing drums, if you try hard enough.

Our next show is sadly Racetrack's last show. We will be heading to Bellingham, to open for Racetrack at the VU Main Lounge on Saturday, October 21st.

New Shows!/ METS VS. DODGERS



The Mets have made the playoffs! It pales in comparison to the 1988 series, but it is still quite interesting.

And last but not least, we will be playing an all ages VERA Project show with Math & Physics Club and Eux Autres! Check the shows section for the dates!
