Sock Puppet Vampire has a NEW SONG for You!

Posted on by

Greetings! friend of the world of Sock Puppets and their Portraits!
refresher course: Marty from Uncle Monsterface sells Sock Puppet Portraits for a living.

So: a lots been going down and up and over and under in the world of the Ultimate Gift of Love. Let’s find out all about it, shall we?

New Myspace songs:
Sooooo, there are some new Sock Puppet Portrait Myspaces! And as most folks already know, all the NEW Sock Puppet Myspaces have a song that they wrote themselves despite (or because of) their lack of arms!

So, joining the Series 2 ranks with Spot the Elusive Dinosaur are The Nutty Bunny and now, just in time for Halloweenie Time – Frank the Vampire Superintendent singing about his army of undead bugs! (Any resemblance to actual Superintendents who I always fight with is strictly probably coincidental or something).

Once again, gang, these Myspace songs, while remaining totally PG, are turning out a bit dark. I suspect a few of the upcoming guys will be a bit lighter…

Remember: you don’t have to be on Myspace to check these profiles out. But if you ARE and you’re amused, make them your friends. It helps me! (And fret not, a Facebook group is coming soon…)

rock music page updated!

Posted on by

I just updated the “rock music” page here at UMF central. You can listen to all three of our albums (in their entirety) right from the interweb! Now you can always get your monsterface fix when you need it… if you have electricity and internet access and some decent speakers (or maybe one of those fancy iphoney shiny things.)

check it

We are in BLENDER (again)!

Posted on by

Ok! Hi everybody! The Big Cool News of note and noteworthiness is that we are in BLENDER magazine this month! This summer, along with the rest of UNLIMITED ENTHUSIASM, we were honored to be a part of the super-amazing lightning factory and Nerd/Geek/Weird Rock festival known as NERDAPALOOZA. In addition to it being a Geek-gasm of total awesome-ness and a D20 of rock and roll, BLENDER magazine was awesome enough to be there covering it. So go check us out on page 67 as flanked by giant robots, foxy zombies, and inflatable monkeys (in our element, as it were)!
way cool!

Puppet Portraits Make Songs!

Posted on by

Greetings, TEAM!

It’s me, marty, the guy from Uncle Monsterface who also makes the sock puppets and their portraits!

And it’s high time I got back to selling puppety portraits on the streets on NYC!
So: I’m back on the streets hocking my wares in Union Square (mostly Saturdays, current schedule is inconsistent…), and mail orders are once again being accepted!

And to celebrate my return, guess what? The first of the SERIES 2 Myspace profiles has launched!! AHOY! That’s right, go become friends with
Spot the Elusive Dinosaur!

AND listen to his original song! (Um, BTW it’s kind of dark. Most of them are turning out that way. Heh…) That’s right, everyone from the SERIES 2 SOCK PUPPET PORTRAITS will not only have their own myspaces, they will be their own myspace bands. (Monsterface’s own Paradise Dan helped engineer this one!)
And remember – you don’t have to BE on Myspace to check them out and download the song!

So we’ve got 8 more to go…
I also plan to have all of those guys available for sale online before the year is up!

And hey – while you’re checking out Spot and everthing, go become friends with some of his brethren, too – start with the good olde duchess of spitmeadow? or maybe the trusty Sock Puppet Presidents? They’re under-loved.

THANKS FOR BEING AWESOME!
