Quick note...

With the very recent shakeup, until we put our nerd hats on ( and use a better publishing platform than this mobile phone in the back of the van), there is limited access to free music and info listen here

Just a quick note to our fans (that would be the roughly 3 people not related to any of us) about the new band name and some other tricky issues we’ve been asked about.

First the ownership of the old band name along with some other intellectual property (website, email, twitter handles, etc.) is in limbo right now.  Though none of our old songs, performances, or sound recordings were a part of the broken deal (thanks to our lawyer, thought we’d never say that).  We did sign with a label.  We did cash our modest checks (Matt got his car fixed and paid for classes, Inchicho took some friends to see Brad Paisley from the second row.  Chris bought his mom some silk scarves and a sweater, teh, really.) .  And that is where this part of the story begins.

We are honoring a mutual gag consent until some sick (and or funny) things get straightened out, but most of you will be able to connect the dots and insert the correct names and relationships.  But that will be your doing, not ours.

Ok so…my PA has a very attractive mom, Audrey (not her real name), and a 18 year old sister.  Our label contact Pupa (should be his real name), a close relative of a higher up at the label, initiated a relationship with Audrey.  They “dated” a few times before we signed our deal.

As these things go, the record deal started to look crappy for us.  Then an interesting  series of events set us on a new course.

Label contact, Pupa, somehow has a picture of PA’s sister discovered by his wife Jules (not her real name, but a truly lovely and kind woman).  Pupa plays it off “duh...uh the picture...she is prospective talent…”.

Pupa is caught in the wee hours, by Audrey, enjoying himself some underpants, PA's sister's underpants.  Sister is not home.  Pupa says “Sorry Audrey, I thought they were yours.”  Ok...

At a meet and greet, Audrey and Jules strike up a conversation.  Jules is oblivious to Audrey’s relations with Pupa.  Audrey knows exactly who Jules is.  Jules says she is not happy that Pupa is now trying to engage young female teen talent for the label, her assumption based on the picture she found of PA’s sister.  Audrey knows that Pupa is only tasked by the label to attend to guitar shredders, and puts together that her 18 year old’s picture is missing from her living room.

In a separate conversation that same night with Jules, Shyko candidly explains his concern that Pupa has lost interest in our project.  Jules reassures him of Pupa’s interest, and mentions that Pupa is in constant contact with my PA…hours on the phone.  PA reports "I never ever talk to Pupa.  I'd rather watch every cat video on YouTube.  Pupa is a jank."

Other confusing uncomfortable encounters follow, leading up to Pupa’s fortunately timed involuntary lustful gleam and PA’s sister in a pair of $400 shoes.  The fracturing and sordid details of this last turn of events will likely never see print, certainly not from our hands.  We are all sickened, sad, and sorry, but then also a bit amused.

One way or another, we are walking away from this deal and from Pupa.

So, as Robert Frost said at the end of Out, Out (link, and, if you have a moment, a better poem here)

“…-- and that ended it.
No more to build on there. And they, since they
Were not the one dead, turned to their affairs.”

Since these things take time, and we don’t have it, Matt, Shyko, Cory, and I are moving on as Fondling.  Please spread the word.  Thanks for your support.
