Project Bondy.

Our good friend Toby plays bass in Serf Combat and their band is awesome and one day we will tour with them and it will be tremendous. Anyway, Toby has this recording device and has started taping shows and putting them up on the internet and I think this is really cool. It's really difficult to make it to some of the better shows around the country for a lot of people and a lot of southern bands never make it far up north and vice versa so the effort that goes into documenting some of these shows is really comendable and could help unify the semi-north/south divide that some bands struggle to bridge. Its a pretty small country afterall.

Ian at strikeachord has been doing roughly the same thing and I'd like to think that someone, somewhere will have the time and knowledge to pull it all together and create a site not unlike Ifyoumakeit which has been documenting shows in the NY area for a while now, as well as preparing original content and acoustic performances. I think this kind of thing could be awesome for a lot of bands in the country - there really isn't anything other than Punktastic to share what everyone is doing and help promote shows and bands to people that care, but haven't the time to go to every gig or check every bands website.

Anyway, in liu of some kind of my proposed mega-site (which I shall now call "project Bondy"), here is a recording from our first night of tour at the Cowley Club in Brighton, recorded by Toby. I think some of the levels are a bit dodge and my in-between song banter was not up to par that night, but whatever. We also only did 5 songs because time was a-pressing. Theres loads of stuff on the site, have a listen. http://aloadofstuffthathappened.wordpress.com

ps: Someone let Matt from Calvinball have a blog. It's tame at the moment, but I can assume there will be some serious shit getting talked once he starts posting drunk. I can't wait. http://calvinball.tumblr.com/

pps: In Florida they have all you can eat crab-leg buffets. EVERY NIGHT.
