house partying part deux

Dear Santa Clarita (if that's your real name),

On behalf of the three other boy-men in this group of banshees, I would like to extend our humble gratitude vis-a-vis your treatment and warm reception of our ragtag operation this past Friday, March the 6th. Truth be told, we expected some amount of good spirits, but nothing near the great din you all created within the cozy confines of that Bradys-esque homestead and its adequately powered garage. Many good cheers to you all! Some slight no-thank-you-ing to the tall Latino sir that unkindly pummeled the drum kit thricely during our grooving. Wherefore went your brain organ, sir? Those skins come at a heavy price! Beware of a repeat attempt, young man!

Charged was sweet. And what vibrations I heard through the wall of Cathedrals and DeadHead were vicious.

Oh, and if you bought a shirt or something from us: thank you. And if you took a shirt without paying, try to at least give us back the cost of making the shirts ($4.50).

That being said, here is some evidence of our existence via Alvin via ThisIsAlvin.com who, we all agree, is fully capable of operating a digital camera and its many components:

In other house show news, we will be playing in Las Vegas on April 11. No details just yet, but check back and we'll have that for you.

The new Propagandhi record comes out tomorrow. Get that. Read: these.

Another reminder about: Vitriol Records who will be putting out records by Graf Orlock, Ghostlimb, and us.

Is it okay to get married in a country where not everyone can marry the person they want to marry?

Bachelorhood as a form of protest!

House Party

We will be playing a free show in the musty confines of a Saugus garage on Friday March 6. We are most comfortable in musty confines, especially those of the garage variety, so all cylinders should be pumping in top form. Also, it's one of the last shows for Charged, so that should be of interest. Saugus, for those of you not in the know, is very near Six Flags Magic Mountain, to which I would like to offer my very serious and hard-to-come-by commendation. X2, Tatsu, and Goliath are all works of artistic genius. It is one of very few sources of legitimate joy that my father and I have ever had the opportunity to share.

Here is the flyer:

Also, by way of evidence:

See you Friday. We'll have shirts and reckless body movements for your consideration.

Also, Vitriol Records is our new and self-made home.

Bon nuit,

Notes from the sickbed

Here I am, SICK. Some sort of tonsil issue. Unfun.

Spent the day watching episodes of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" via Youtube and an S-Video cable we use here at my homestead to connect the computer to the television since we are without "cable" or "direct TV" or any of those notions.

Also spent the day sending out all existing orders made for shirts on this website. Let me say a continual and sincere "thank you" to all of you who have offered us your money over the past few weeks. Don't know if you've heard, but the economy isn't doing so well and it's spending like yours that is vital to making sure the wheels of recovery keep spinning. Obama would be proud!

We are going to continue to offer some goods to the right and will be adding a few more things shortly. Or "shortly." Keep checking for new supplies if the ubiquitous repeat logo shirt bores you to death or if you aren't very much interested in purchasing music we released two plus years ago.

To remedy that last situation, we are continuing our efforts in the studio. Recording is on a steady path to occurring in the coming weeks. We are all very excited. Sixteen songs have been loaded up on the slate for production and they are "doozies," if I do say so myself. It is a record influenced by such things as:

a) Gordon Lish

b) Jocelyn Lee

c) Propagandhi's new record!

d) Neko Case's new record!

e) The El Segundo Blue Butterfly

f) so-called "execution tapes"

g) various ideas gleaned from 89.3 KPCC

h) this amazing article by Stephen Elliott

i) Vast Aire

j) "purchasing" Van Ban at Fresh & Easy

k) Rachel Getting Married

I also watched Roman Polanski's "Chinatown" for the first time today. I feel confident in endorsing it. That is where the whole "How 'bout them apples?" line comes from. Didn't know that.

Here are some band-related goodies for you:

a) we have some pictures up now on a Flickr account. Enjoy.

b) new shows:

1) May 2 in Berkeley, CA @ 924 Gilman Street

2) May 22-24 in Tacoma, WA @ the Viaduct for Rainfest 2009.

c) here is an interview I did a year ago with KSPC's Troy Kokkinis. We should be doing a live set with him this spring!

Less sick now, but closer to death,

Das Kapitalistisch Venture

Guten tag!

Because we are now trying to fund a record, we are now selling our own merchandise. To the right you will see two little buttons that say "add to cart." Think of these buttons as a gateway to happiness, especially if your happiness is dependent on a) owning your very own DANGERS paraphernalia and/or b) putting money in our dismally ragtag wallets. Up on the auction block are: a) our full-length record "Anger" in compact disc format and b) our (stereotypical) repeat logo t-shirt. Purchase at your own risk and be patient. Your stuff will get to you as soon as we have a moment to visit the post office.

Also, another show to tell you about:

Saturday February 7
@ 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA
w/ Graf Orlock, Lewd Acts, Acts of Sedition, and Millions of Dead Comps

We'll have new shirts there for you to purchase.

Also, we'll be playing at this year's Rain Festival in Tacoma, WA on May 22/23 ish.

Also, Justin plays guitar for us now.
Also, keep emailing us if you want us to play your city!
We are going to do some sick touring after the new record comes out.
Speaking of which, we have begun recording.
Here are some new song titles:

Cure For Cancer
Cure For AIDS
Tarantula Type
Bottom of the 9th Ward

Listen(ed) to the new Trap Them record!

Wreckless Carbon Footprints

We have decided to come out of our impermeable candy-coated shell for a few more shows. They shall include most of the following: new songs, old songs, gratuitous shirtlessness, beautiful merchandise, beards, long winded-ness, (homo-/hetero-/bi-/trans-)sexual positive attitudes, Ghostlimb, Comadre, and Portraits of Past (a reunion show of sorts)! Here are further details circa proper chronology:

Spread the word to as many gentiles as you can (non-gentiles also welcome, begrudgingly). Speaking of which: recently bought The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins. He made a "program" for the BBC called "The Root of Evil," of which the first part is viewable below.





We'd like to remind you to head to Hellfish to buy our merchandise.
Or RevHQ.


We'd also like to encourage you to invite us to your city to play. We will be gearing up for some touring after the new record comes out. We'd like especially to play in foreign towns like Frankfurt and Barcelona. And Melbourne. And Tokyo. If you can make that happen, let us know via email: wearedangers@gmail.com

Obama is not the answer,
