[ August 15, 2009; 9:30 pm to 10:30 pm. ] It’s summer, which means it’s time to get the band back together again.
Precisely one month from today, we’ll be opening for the Alien Funk Squad at The Kenton Club. Be there at approximately 9:30!
Not to get your hopes up or anything, but there’s a good chance that we’ll be playing at least five brand-new songs [...]

[ May 30, 2009; 3:00 pm to 3:30 pm. ] Famous Artist Jedidiah Chavez will be trying to sell hot dogs outside of the Arbor Lodge New Seasons. Apparently, he feels that people who hear me and Eloise singing songs will suddenly develop an intense craving for turd-shaped meats.
We’ll be there from 3-3:30 this afternoon, and if you want to see me look uncomfortable while [...]

[ August 16, 2008; 7:00 pm to 11:00 pm. ] That’s right… we’re once again helping to raise money for our favorite LGBT literary journal and small press, Gertrude.
Tickets for the event are on sale here.
Once again we’ll be auctioning off an original DYM song written to the specifications of the highest bidder. You might recall that last time around, we auctioned [...]

[ August 15, 2008; 9:00 pm to 11:59 pm. ] Whoa! I guess we’re playing a show next week. How about that? Maybe you want to come see us play several of our songs for the very last time before we move full-bore into Musicians of Sound.
Friday, August 15, at the Towne Lounge.
We’ll be playing with Branden Daniel, who according to his [...]

[ June 21, 2008; 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. ] Today we play our very first two-hour set as part of the opening ceremonies for the annual Beer Olympics. Nothing puts people in the mood to get wasted like two solid hours of DYM.
We’ll also be unveiling our very first JOHN TESH COVER. Hot damn! Photos of audience members looking stunned and [...]

[ April 27, 2008; 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. ] Last night we rocked the vote for Jim Middaugh, and as we were setting up for the show Djerzi played me some of his new songs for Musicians of Sound.
Apparently, while I’ve been busy writing discordant epics, Djerzi has been hard at work writing fucking POWER POP songs straight from the 70s.
Refer to [...]

[ January 31, 2008; 7:30 pm to 9:30 pm. ] Since that last post was kind of long, it might have bumped Pennystripe’s announcement a bit too far down.
Here she is, preparing for another acting role. She’s always acting in something or other. Anything to get out of band practice, I guess.

[ February 7, 2008; 9:00 pm to 11:59 pm. ] Finally, our dreams have come true. We’re playing at Ground Kontrol on February 7. I guess I should clarify: the rest of the band will be downstairs on stage making music, while I’m upstairs playing Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest Pinball. Last time I was there (for Djerzi’s birthday), I [...]

[ February 17, 2008; 9:00 pm; ] Show starts at 9pm, and we go on first, followed immediately by:
The Hot Toddies, a girl band whose members have to field marriage proposals from fanboys on their MySpace page;
Blue Skies for Black Hearts, who must come from money since they can afford the royalty payments to the guy who came up with the “two [...]

[ December 8, 2007; ] Tonight!
If you didn’t get an invitation, tough shit. Come see us next week when we play the Tonic. Look, the bands involved went to the trouble of making two entirely different posters:

What year is it? It’s not 1991, that’s for damn sure. But it is Thanksgiving, which means it must be time to think about MST3K. Remember those crazy pre-Stewart & Colbert years when Comedy Central couldn’t afford movie rights to the latest ex-SNL star vehicles and had to run Mystery Science Theater all damn day?
Dr. Forrester [...]

+ + + + + +
Might as well put this on your calendars. We haven’t played in a while, and this will be our Christmas [...]

[ December 15, 2007; ] See? This isn’t a show. But I’m categorizing it as a show so that it appears on that nifty little calendar you see to the right of the blog.
Three songs.

Finally–clips from Barnstock are up at our YouTube site. I’m almost positive that, after watching them, you may feel like you could’ve waited even longer to see them… possibly forever.

On Saturday, October 27, at 10pm we’ll be playing Luckey’s, the “oldest bar in Lane County.”
So if you’re in Eugene (you’re probably not, but what the hell) and you’ve just seen the Trojans demolish the Ducks on their homefield and need to take your pent-up aggression out on a bunch of Portlanders WHO ARE NOT [...]

If you’re looking for something to do tonight that’s as free as it is awesome, come watch me as I moonlight with The Jolenes on a small handful of songs that were all released in 1984. Worth the price of admission alone is this song, our cover of which will peel off the first three [...]

The tickets are $10, but (and I can’t stress this enough) you can buy a ticket without feeling obligated to attend. Seriously. Small literary [...]
