Hey Everyone,

FOREIGN TELEGRAM is performing, tonight (Friday) at 12 Galaxies. This is our first time playing this stage, so we really need you to come out. We go on promptly at 10 o’clock. Don’t miss the beginning of our show! Also, check out our new merchandise — 3 new models of shirts and a cute new sticker — and chat with us before the night kicks into high gear. We’ll have international DJ, Masami (Gumna/ngoma) spinning records, who’s here from Tokyo, Japan. Doors open at 9pm. Come early, and avoid the line.

After FOREIGN TELEGRAM, it’s HATE BREEDERS, a total-Misfits cover band. Is there any better time to see them in their element than Halloween weekend? When the Misfits existed, I was too young to see a show, with or without a fake ID, but I would have loved it. I remember seeing them in Thrasher magazine, when that was brand new! Finally, I can experience all the attitude, the energy, and the howling.

Then, the headliner of the night is infamous, in the Bay Area — COOKIE MONGOLOID!! (brought to you by the letter C, and by the Devo coverband, MONGOLOID). They are going to blow the doors off the club with their full-bloat stageshow. Do you want to spend your Friday night the same old way, or do you want to see something really weird and fun? Here’s what Laughing Squid has to say about COOKIE MONGOLOID:

“Cookie Mongoloid is Sesame Speed Metal. See the Cookie Mongoloid in all his blue, furry, googly-eyed glory backed by the baddest of gender mixed metal bands as they decimate and regurgitate your childhood favorites in an abrasive metal wrath. See their harem of gothic gyrators, the Cookies, demonstrate such elemental concepts as up and down in a blaze of lights, smoke and pyrotechnic cookie shrapnel.”

Doors will open at 9pm. Come early to avoid the line. 12 Galaxies, located at 2565 Mission Street (near 22nd) is a beautiful club with a 2nd floor balcony and good sound. Check out the photo gallery at http://12galaxies.com. We’re going to have a great show. Call me, if you need anything else.

FOREIGN TELEGRAM’s music video for ‘Nana’, featuring the Butoh Master Koichi Tamano and the members of his Harupin-Ha Butoh (http://harupin-ha.org), will be premiered at an independent film festival, produced by EPI PRODUCTIONS (http://epiproductions.com). We’ll be there to enjoy it for the first time on the sliver screen with everyone else and perform at intermission. Dance on film? A Band at the Victoria? Sweating and dancing at an indy film fest? Medical fetish and NATO scrubs? Showa gothic and Mission sushi chefs? What the?

Thanks everybody, who came out to see us at Madrone, tonight. There were a lot of you who were new to our music, and some folks we didn’t get a chance to meet. However, we are looking forward to it, so send us a message or meet us at our next show (probably our record or video release party). To our many longtime friends and our new friends, who came out, we really appreciate it and had a great time hanging out.

So, if you haven’t done so, please join our private bulletin board at http://foreigntelegram.com where you can talk directly with the band and check out some members-only videos and music downloads. On Myspace, you can listen to FOREIGN TELEGRAM, but on our personal bulletin board, you can download music to your iPod or computer, and do with it as you please. It’s free to sign up and totally anonymous, just the way we like it. You can build up a profile if you want to put your personal touch on it, or just lurk. Sign up!

Thanks again. Write us.
