we rock
The Knitting Factory
(tap bar)
with the amazing
FISHBOY
and the super cool besties
doors at 7pm | $8 | all ages
74 Leonard Street in NYCNYCNYCNYCNYC

there are a variety of compelling reasons to go to this show.
first of all, fishboy released what is seriously our favorite album of 2007. seriously. he’s amazing, amazingly nice, and touring from denton, TX. he sings songs about buddy holly’s ghost!

next of all, it’s the knitting factory. but it isn’t just the knit. for some inexplicable reason, we’re headlining the tap bar, or medium capacity room. so please come to show the knit that we belong there.

but most importantly…
it’s PARADISE DAN’S BIRTHDAEEEEEEE! curiously enough, this will be our second monsterface birthdae at the knit…bring him presents…

and as ever, we promise you a sock puppet rock band cover of madonna’s like a prayer…

Gary Gygax follow up…. Album update!

So we are glad to see our Gary Gygax track go on to inspire many others in salute to the late, great, Gygax.

First I’d like to you to point your speakers over to Z’s (hipsterplease.com) newest podcast-

Radio Free Hipster Episopde: The There be (Dungeons &) Dragons Mixtape

A fantastic mix of D&D themed rock, opening with an all time favorite cut “Scenario.”
Anyway go listen, its like a mixtape by the best friend you forgot you had.
(oh yeah it closes with “Gary Gygax” too.)

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…
