Hi internet world of worlds!
We’re back from our big huge tour, and the reports you’ve heard are partially accurate – it was the best time ever! But we’re super excited to be re-united with Perfect Jimmy, and we’re currently huddled together in the warm and glowy confines of Dino-skeleton Island planning escapades, misadventures, and oddly enough a tupperware party. For zombies! But we assure you that big news is not only afoot, but also a huge hand worthy of the Yeti.
Ahhhh, the mighty Yeti…
Need something Monsterfacey to do in the meantime?
Write a review of “This is an Adventure’ on iTunes. Or else make me a sandwich. Or both!
I’m hungry…
More sooooooooon!
ever your representative of loyalty, joviality, and a confused sense of liability,
martyface

we are so pumped to be on this tour – we are having so much fun!
no, not PUPPY video… TEAM!
today is monday. all of the time, ‘monday’ shares it’s first three letters in common with ‘monsterface’ (and MONKEY!). often this inspires us to post a: MONsterface MONday (ook eek!)
in honor of our tour that starts NEXT WEEK IN BOSTON (june 25 at the middle east!!), here is a video for the new song from THIS IS AN ADVENTURE called GO!, which we’ll be playing at said rock shows!
TEAM!
“This album lifts you up and makes you feel powerful.”
–james kochalka on uncle monsterface’s ‘this is an adventure’
woaahhhhhhhh! today’s monsterface monday is AN INCREDIBLE VIDEO for the title track of the new album, “This is an Adventure!” go get it on our Youtube channel – youtube.com/unclemonsterface (if it is’t embedding right here)
it features the beautiful album artwork created by our good friend, daria tessler – animalsleepstories.com, with animation by none other than our own resident super-talent, Perfect Jimmy. check out daria’s whole site! she’s such a unique talent, her work is like no one else’s, if you like the album art you’ll become obsessed with all that she does (she and marty met both selling art on the streets of ny!)
so: we’ve gotten hundreds of downloads from last week’s album drop! lots of them have lead to awesome reviews… but we definitely don’t have hundreds of reviews, thoughts, and/or musings yet (though there have been many, and thanks to everyone who has made good on their word). make good on your word, citizenry! in honor of last week’s Monsterface Monday (MoMo) of such grand proportions, we’re leaving it up for one more day – today – until midnight.
while you have one more day to download and you’re soaking in the splendor of this video and readying yourself for your OWN mighty review, check out these awesome reviews from last week!
super crazy cool = as seen above – the incomparable and legendary james kochalka gave us an amazing review on his own americanelf.com. he’s one of our superheroes of life, if you don’t already marvel at everything he creates, please do so immediately.
and once again, z from hipsterplease.com hits our album so squarely on the head it hurts. our collective head. hurts. z rules.
while we have your attention, on a completely unrelated note, please become our facebook friend if you do that sort of thing. we had an old acct that wasn’t a band account and then had to change it all over and stuff… www.facebook.com/pages/Uncle-Monsterface/7925207825
next week we’ve got one more amazing monsterface monday in store for you!
then there will be a week off as we hit the road – and then PERFECT JIMMY GONE WILD will premiere on july 9 – perfect jimmy’s own weekly webcast wrapping up the week’s unlimited enthusiasm events…and whatever else he comes up with…(unlimited enthusiasm, ltd takes no responsibility for resulting lawsuits, catastrophes, or fits of weeping ‘perfect jimmy gone wild’ creates, inspires, or induces).
awesome + awesome = team monsterface
never stop a’rockin.
TEAM! the free album only has 3 more days of freedom! (still available here: www.mediafire.com/?n0buo12gl8f – Parental CAUTION there are swearwords on this album…) we’ve seen hundreds of downloads! downloads that came with a promise…a promise to tell us and the world what you think about “This is an Adventure!” but we’ve only seen a handful of reviews!
now is your chance to be heard! you are a part of TEAM MONSTERFACE – shout it out loudly! the album was released today on itunes – put your review on up! Please Review This is An Adventure! on Itunes!
do you need inspiration? our AMAZING new friend Z from hipsterplease.com has given us what amounts to the coolest review we’ve ever seen. seriously, we’re just stunned. this guy took out his review hammer and nailed us square on the rock and roll head and heart and hands with it. he’s seen through our smoke and mirrors! seriously, z is WICKED AWESOME, and so is his review. check it out and check out everything that he does.
you need more inspiration? check out the amazing comic cover by our incomparably talented friend and collaborator jesse farrell on our myspace page. it’s there in honor of one of the lead tracks on the new album, “Save Our Superheroes!”, now available as a free download on myspace (while supplies last).
ATTENTION: TEAM MONSTERFACE PAST PRESENT FUTURE AND RETRO-FUTURE PAST!
MONSTERFACE MONDAY IS OUR WHOLE NEW ALBUM (FOR A WEEK WITH A PROMISE)!
WE WANT YOU TO HAVE OUR NEW ALBUM!
DO YOU WANT IT…?
(don’t all jump up at once)
HERE IT IS FOR FREE…
BUT YOU’VE GOTTA PROMISE US SOMETHING…
okay, repeat after us, “I, ____________ (whatever my awesome name is), do solemnly swear to download Uncle Monsterface’s (awesome) new album, ‘This is an Adventure!’, for free, listen to it and then tell people exactly what I think, no matter what I think. Via whatever methodology I use – blog, vlog, glog, bulletin, mass mail, hieroglyph, smoke signals, sky-writing… No matter what I think about it – I will tell other people about it!”
Now Monsterface swear: touch your pinky to your nose, spin about thrice, whoop into the air, all whilst wiggling your toes (and building a huge robot out of rice).
we know it’s a bastard stepchild of radiohead ploy, but we also really want you to have it, and we want to see what’s gonna happen. go go get it, tell us what you think, tell everyone what you think!
the countdown is on for the national UNLIMITED ENTHUSIASM TOUR
with our superfriends of rock, harry and the potters and math the band!
in honor of this supertour of mighty giants we’ve
RESURRECTED MONSTERFACE MONDAYS!
that’s right : FOUR WEEKS OF MONSTERFACE MONDAYS BEFORE WE TOUR!!!!
for the initial resurrection, witness this COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL AD WE MADE FOR UNLIMITED ENTHUSIASM. (this ad has not been authorized by unlimited enthusiasm)
So, a few weeks ago, I got asked to make a remix by my good friend Z and by the power of the fates I got handed the vocal tracks to “Felix Felicis” by our boys Harry and the Potters.
I have never “remixed” anything before but I had just received this cool DS synthesizer made by Pixelh8 and I always wanted to try it so I figured I’d give it a shot.
On a side note the DS synth is AWESOME. You’ll hear more of it on “This is an Adventure.” Thank god I didn’t get that new toy until the album was 90% done, otherwise it would have been on every track on there.
Anyway first I tried doing a mashup. For those of you unfamiliar with mashups its when you take 2 or more song put them in a blender and pour out a cool and refreshing audio milk shake. After a few passes I realized that I’m not allowed to play with the blender.
So I went back to my DS synth and banged out this:
I suggest you go to Hipster, Please! and check out the all the other cool mixes that people done. There’s more wrock and some geek rock and a bunch of nerd-core hip hop. Its pretty awesome.
BTW – the new UMF album is done, I listened to it at the gym yesterday. I think you guys will really like it. The CDs are being made as we speak and files are going to magical itunes land. We should have something for you guys in a few weeks.
IT KICKS OFF in our home town JUNE 25 at the MIDDLE EAST BOSTON!!!
this tour is going to be epic and amazing! more details soon, but many of the dates are up for now, the unlimited enthusiasm web site is live, the poster totally rules, and we are gearing up for an insane show with our best friends of rock, supporting our new full length album – THIS IS AN ADVENTURE
