OK, boys & girls - the jams are hot and the internet is helping. Yeah, as nerdy as it is, you're using it right now. Question our street cred if you want, but I believe that the internet could be an important information tool in the the coming years.
We are here to ride that wave into future. We watched the guy from Black Eyed Peas on the TV-hologram-thing from Obama's election night. This week I've watched two Woody Allen films and every episode of The Office: Season 4 on Netflix online. Now I'm on episode 8 of the first Season of 30 Rock, (How have I never watched this before?) so you should all know that the technology can be our friend. Even the His Hero is Gone dudes all have websites now.
Here's our new ways of keeping in contact via networking websites. We have a Facebook Group for The Sunday Shakes. We also have Myspace pages for The Sunday Shakes & Civil War Syndrome Records. Those are some new high tech ways to keep in on whats going on. That should hold us off til we get flying cars an time machines.

Well, it's been a while. The LP is out and we have been pushing it an anyone's face that will listen. Reviews are coming in. So far, so good. The Outlaw Lovers are bustin' humps on their end too.

In other news, Benjamin & I will be throwing a monthly jam at Springwater every third Sunday night. "The Sunday Shakes" starts with the first ever CIVIL WAR SYNDROME CHRISTMAS BASH. Every month we will be spinning punk, soul, garage, funk, and whatever else we feel along side our favorite local DJs. Cheap beer and hot tunes.



If you havent seen it, here's IGN's Top 10 Doom Metal Bands. It's got all the obvious picks. I can't give a thumbs up to the Type-o-Negative call. And I don't really think of Trouble as doom metal (just really awesome metal. Otherwise its a hot jam with some sweet videos for the handlebar-mustached-fuzz-box-lover in all of us.
Nashville's young crust wizards Karoshi have everything in the works for thier first seven inch EP. If you're into dark, melodic punk, this shoud be your cup of tea. Think of bands like Remains of the Day, From Ashes Rise, Rudmentary Peni & The Ex. They have some songs online, if you want to hear it.
