Black Wednesday at The Knockout SF
** UPDATE: Girl Band added to the Wednesday, November 29th date at The Knockout SF. Check out their raw, sneering rock’n'roll, as only 4 girls can do it. **The holidays are here. Ahead of you, a stress-inducing overtime, lay-over delays, your friends leaving town, angry parents tearing cabbage patch dolls from your grasp, and traffic for days. This is your last chance to gather together with the people that make a difference in life, your friends, and share a drink, exchange plans, laugh off the coming chaos of the holidays. It’s Black Wednesday and you’re at The Knockout SF.
The Knockout SF is pretty much the best, most unpretentious and fun venue in the Mission with pool, Ms. Pacman, pinball, a photo booth, drinks, bingo, a video screen with classic music videos and movies, art, and good-natured responsive bartenders.

FOREIGN TELEGRAM, debuting Ronnie Matatquin on drums. Let’s give him a warm welcome. Throbbing beats and unstoppable bass lines echo through a frozen cavern of icy guitar melodies.

We decided to let you in on a little secret. We are working on our new album. There are a number of recordings, already in the rough mix stage. Today, we present you with the first hit on our next album, ‘How To Buy People’. The song is called ‘Violet’.
Listen to it.

We barely had a chance to relish our milestone in quintuple digits, before you pushed the dial all the way to 11 thousand. Does this mean you like us?
So, ‘Skin Jobs’ is unofficially-officially out of the closet, which means that you can get a piece. If you think that we sound pretty good on Myspace, you had better hear it on CD. What do we have to underscore to impress on you the significance of buying the album? You work for an hour to earn the cost, we worked for a year on the album. The deal is clearly in your favor. Think of the money as charity, think of it as an investment. Where does the money go? It goes back into the next album, which you’ll be able to acquire for another single hour of work. How did we get into this?! Is that your problem? No. Buy the album.
Not one to rest on our laurels, we have some brand new music, which if you were at the Space Gallery, you were exposed to. The rest of our friends around the planet will get a dose, soon enough. Our initial recordings sound good and are being mixed in the studio. More tracks are yet on the way, and a follow-up album is in the works. Will it sounds as good as ‘Skin Jobs’? Will it look as good? Signs point to yes.
