When there's nothing left to say...
We have four shows in two days...we're so stoked!
I was cleaning out our ATN data base when I came across some pictures. I just thought I'd throw some of them up here for your enjoyment:
Chuck got this image on his myspace site. I thought it was cool to see one of our stickers in action. That was the very first set of stickers we got for the band - AMOUNTING TO NOTHING - WORST BAND IN THE WORLD. I crowned us that title after we bombed our first show. We went on to record and the first song was dubbed "Worst Song in the World by the Worst Band in the World." We shortened it...but Worst Band still sounds funny.
This one was taken at the Boardwalk show a couple months ago. We were the first band up so there's no crowd. Take note kids - paying dues can get ugly. It looks like I'm the only one moving...Norvin's chillin', Chuck's moving his arms about like he's drowning while beating on a whale. Anyway, we opened up for Swell Chemistry, The Cremains, Mankind is Obsolete & EDG. We left when MKIO was on...starvation called and we answered the phone.
This is the lid off our first merch box back in 2004. Our family in Guilty Wilson took us under their wings and helped us get to these places. Chuck was drumming for GW and ATN at the time so we fit like peas in a pod. Guilty really encouraged us to progress and become more confident in our calling. We hope the time and effort they placed into us pours over onto other bands out there. We went from carrying everything in one box to three boxes now. Man...we've grown in two years. Hopefully we grow for another two and then I'm calling it quits...sigh...
I just found those three images so I thought I'd throw them up here. I'll see what else I can dig up. We HAVE to start taking more pictures - don't you agree? We'll have some from this weekend road trip...
