We’re Finally Playing a Show!
After a long time out of the lime light we are excited to announce that we have a show Thursday, January 6.
Yeah, that’s right this Thursday! It’s an early show at the Fort Street Cafe in beautiful downtown Victoria. doors open at 7:30, show at 8:00. RadTrux and Year of the Rat play before we go on around 10.
We know it’s short notice, we only heard about it around Christmas and Shane was visiting family for the holidays… we then got rather distracted with all the celebrating. We had planed to jam on Monday (Jan 3), this was going to be the first time we had jammed in a number of weeks, but on Sunday night through a comedy of errors and missteps Dan was awoken to himself spilling a cup of water all over his microkorg. not wanting to risk frying a damp circuit we decided to postpone our jam until Tuesday night. Finally, we got out to the jam spot on Tuesday night. We turned on the amps, plugged in the pedals, switched on the 6 track and microkorg (it worked thankfully), and blew the metaphorical and literal dust off the drums. Just then when we thought everything was good and we were ready to jam, we realized Shane’s guitar was not sounding right. at first he thought it was the pedals, then the amp. we tried playing a few songs despite the off sounding guitar, it really wasn’t the same. Then, suddenly there was a loud pop and the full guitar sound came in full blast. We took off from there. It was a surprisingly solid jam, and we are looking forward to rocking this show on Thursday having practiced only once in the last 6 months or so.
Hope we see you there!
Love, Bangs!
NASA Discovers New Life!
NASA announced today that they have discovered a new form of life that changes our understanding of the elements required for life. Unfortunately, The new life form NASA discovered is not extraterrestrial, it was found in California, nevertheless, the discovery is still very exciting. The life form that NASA has discovered has a very interesting and important difference about the structure of it’s DNA, it has arsenic instead of phosphorus like all other life we know. This is so exciting and important because it means life can exist in even greater variety than we believed previously, and exist in places we used to think impossible. It was thought until now that there were 6 elements essential for life: Carbon, Nitrogen, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, and Sulfur, with this discovery of an organism with arsenic in place of phosphors it can now be inferred that other elements could be swapped as well, silicon for carbon for instance. This vastly increases the possible places to find life. We have been looking for planets like ours to find extraterrestrial life on, planets that have the elements we thought critical for the existence of life, not anymore. Life could exist in vastly different ways than we have imagined. There maybe life forms out there we don’t even recognize as life. on planets hot enough for rocks to be liquid, there could be a silicon based life form that looks more like a rock to us than it does something alive. Oh the possibilities!
