I developed a few one time use cameras at Walgreens today, and rediscovered a bunch of photos I had taken, Kathleen had taken, or Mitch had taken, in the past four or five months. Because I am kind of a fan of ephemera, and definitely a fan of the totally weird ”fidelity” of disposable (ie. ephemera) cameras, I wanted to share them with anyone who wanted to see them.
I think part of the charm of being in a band with a group of people that are my friends, means experiencing the music with people that I am not just necessarily in a band with, but rather, people whom their personal company is just as important, if not more to me, than the band.
Anyway, that should explain why we chose to have this site be so multimedia heavy. We didn’t want to be guys in a band. We wanted to be friends in a band. And we wanted to illustrate it.
Sorry to be so sappy, that’s just the way I feel:
Mitchell at Mohawk. Feb. 2010. We opened for Cowabunga Babes and Ringo Deathstarr. If you took this guy home to your parents, he’d make ‘em laugh. He’s a funny guy. Can’t you tell?
Ryan and Marcus. Same show.
Mitch and Alex. Doing something. The Parlor, I think?
When this guy isn’t pounding skins, he’s pounding you for your lunch money. Don’t forget this face. This is John Marcus Haddon.
I really like this photo a lot. It reminds me of two things. General boy camaraderie, and the fact that no one can really genuinely pull off a real “Mitchism.” This is just one of them.
My beautiful, lovely girlfriend Kathleen. Fantastic gal, all around.
Ryan at Plush during SXSWSNLDKDJF 2010. And feeling quite plush, indeed.
John Hartman. When he isn’t being a slave to both gravity and beer, he’s generally an all around amazing individual, cooking, building, engineering, constructing, designing, and knowing pretty much everything. (Note. In the right hand side of this photo, two custom made maracas, in Kathleen and my likeness, courtesy Kathleen, Christmas 2009. Score.)
George Morrow (boy genius), Allen Sanders (just a great boy, Good stories, Knows more than you/me/us/everyone), and Alex Gehring (nope, not a boy, She’s a girl, A splendid one, as well)
International Waters at Chain Drive, March 2010. SXSW stuff.
“Peace,” as the kids say. Later.
