SUPER TUESDAY special LIVE DRUMS DEROCKRACY special

hello and howdy, good TEAM MONSTERFACE.
we put something special up for you, in honor of this very fine and historic
SUPER TUESDAY.
it’s a crazy LIVE DRUMS version of DEROCKRACY!
(currently living on the myspace. don’t fear the myspace, you needn’t be on it to listen, and if you are on it, say ‘howdy’.)

vote, participate, talk about the election with everyone and do your best not to succumb to the political cynicism that runs rampant like a kid on a sweet new big wheel. if you don’t vote, don’t complain. you forfeit your right. we aren’t terribly interested in mixing up politics with our sock puppet rock band, so that’s as much as you’ll ever get from us…

write letters to Blender telling them how awesome you think they are for covering us.

yay!

ever your loyal,
uncle monsterface

december 7 is our rock and roll birthdae.

on this dae of daes, 3 longish-short years ago, uncle monsterface played their first-ever rock and roll show in cambridge’s zuzu cafe.

there was no puppet theatre. no video projections. no dance contest or madonna songs or rock cd or internet tee vee channel or wizard rock parties or monsterface emergencies or inflatable monkeys or megaphones or capes or or…with rare exceptions, there was no YOU yet, either…lobster building even came early on in the set. SHEESH!

we’ve done a bunch of stuff since then (but back then, we still brought the rock…)!

happy birthdae to us!

ever your loyal,
uncle monsterface

we love the wizards - an all-star salute to the HP!

dearest TEAM MONSTERFACE.

as camp monsterface winds down, we here at MONSTERFACE INDUSTRIES are starting to get all wound up for a staunch and bug-swallowing motorcycle-ride full of exciting events and activities (new songs! more shows! new TEE VEE!).

but first and foremost - like so many loyal and wide-eyed members of TEAM MONSTERFACE - we’re totally excited for the final HARRY POTTER BOOK to come out! (if you don’t share this enthusiasm, skip this whole bit and wait for some cool things next week…)

i’m back! aw yeah!

hello!
i am back from running across the country with some wizards!
(for those not keeping up, for the month of june in the year 2007, i hit the road with flagship wizard rockers harry and the potters to help carry stuff, sell stuff, help make them sound nice, and to sell my own sock puppet portraits and see our grrrreat nation.)

we ran all the way from brooklyn to los angeles, rocking out every night at breakneck speeds of mightiness and with the unbridled fury of boundless awesomeness.

‘how was your trip across the country with the wizards?’ a curious and intrepid young sailor or spelunker might ask.

‘very excellent, indeed,‘ i would answer.
which would be a colossal but politically necessary lie…
