Hope you all had as much fun as we did. If anyone did not get a copy of the new cd email us and let us know. Highlights of the evening were "Chris", Jon, and Dan joining us for one last song, Dan creating a new hardcore dance move, Erickson for dubbing the new move "Moving Units", and of course drunken people Markyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06290213819875914450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377228.post-1103940914325198512004-12-24T20:50:00.000-05:002004-12-24T21:19:05.316-05:00Ah, the hangover. Actually I'm feeling pretty good today---- the day after our last show. We had a blast last night and I miss the band already. It's just time for us to move on. I want to thank all of you that supported us through all the shit. Special thanks to Rich for filling in for Chris who couldn't make it and our former members Jon and Dan for playing as well.

What to say, just got home a little while ago from the Elbow Room in Ypsi. Love that bar, cool staff, always have a good time there. Played with a cool band from Indiana called ari ari, was only their third or fourth show and they rocked. Looking forward to seeing what they;ll sound like a few months down the road.

Though it may not seem like it gig-wise, it has been a hectic year and we need a well-deserved break. We will be back in August. There's a gig tentatively scheduled for the Temple Club on August 18th. More info as it becomes available. See you in August....send money in the meantime.

"Used Acquaintances For Sale" for $8. Soon we will be out promoting it. Soon Jeff Kuhnle will show up at your door wearing a ballerina outfit and will ask you if you would like to buy a copy.

We hear a rumor we may be playing at the Temple Club on May 12 but I think that's a tentative date. Nothing else of great importance to say. Except one of the headlights on my car burned out.

Matt Stornant has come to our rescue and helped us kick this thing in the ass. Copies will be $10 and we guarantee you will like it.

We're being real picky so you may want to pay close attention in the rare instances that you see us in the coming months, as songs will probably come and go as we gauge what we like/lose interest in.

We will however be playing Thursday Sept 4 at Impulse II w/ both the Nocturnal Aviators and the Bavoliers. I know weeknights can be kinda hard for some of you to make it out to, but if you can, this is one you really should try to show up for.

As you can see from Mark's previous post, we have some issues here. I also have some advice for you guys in the audience.

You all want news. Okay, I realize that you guys have waited patiently for the CD, but as with all things Putty, nothing ever happens as quickly as it should. As it stands right now, we haven't even begun to mix yet. But Ben and I are meeting up with Corey this weekend to mix the first single, "Imperfect" which will be out soon.

Impulse II (old Sneekers in Frandor) w/ the Traces and 100 watt Head on July 10 and the following night, July 11, at the Temple Club w/ Wally Pleasant and Carl.

We still have to mix it, which will be one excruciatingly long pain in the ass, but you will be able to hear it soon. Thanks to Corey Studt's technical wizardry, it's gonna be a classic 5-star album in Rolling Stone with advance orders of 10,000.
