You guys are AWESOME!!!
by Tina - 1:04 p.m. PDT on Mar.11.2012
Thanks so much for coming out to support us at the Hemlock Tavern on
Friday night. We have so much fun when you guys are having fun. So, of course you
guys made it awesome-ly fun for us. Even the quasi-mosh pit was a blast (and
nobody got hurt...). :D
Check out this video shot during the show. It’s of “Rust” where Jade
and I change places (she plays drums and I play bass).
The Hi-Tones from Austin, TX couldn't make the show as their van gave up the ghost. So, our friends (and David's other band) The Chuckleberries filled in at the last minute. Thanks guys!
Also, unfortunately, we didn't have our new CD ready for the show. It's still in mixing. We hope to have it in hand soon. Please send an email to tina@destroyyou.com to receive a full album digital download code as soon as it's available.
See y’all at the next show! - Tina

This is probably the weirdest stage setup we've ever had (per the soundperson's request), but it was fun!

by Tina - 12:56 a.m. PST on Nov.8.2010
Crazies' fun during Halloween week: First, we had a great time at the Hemlock Tavern on All Hallows Eve. We dressed up in costumes, gave out free candy, and rocked out along with The Parties and The Lotus Moons . Then, on Wednesday (Nov 3rd), we had a fun interview with Russel Forster on his Punk Prescription show on Pirate Cat Radio .

Oh, forgot to mention... There's about a 40 sec section of dead air after the song "Happenin' Hominid". I was going to edit it out, but then the comments afterward would not have made sense. :)

"Megafauna" Tracks Playing on KUNV 91.5FM - Las Vegas
by Tina - 12:36 a.m. PDT on Jul.10.2010
Hey guys and gals!
We just found out that KUNV 91.5FM in Las Vegas, NV is playing tracks from our latest album, "Megafauna", during their Neon Reverb show on Saturday nights from 8-10 p.m. PDT (Pacific time zone). They are scheduled to play "Happenin' Hominid" this Saturday (7/10/10). So, if you're in Vegas, tune them in or, if you're not in the area,
listen to their stream on the 'Net at: http://streaming.kunv.org:8000
KUNV is billed as a Jazz station, but breaks from that format for certain shows, like Neon Reverb. If you want more info about the station or have problems connecting to the stream, go to their website, kunv.org, for more details.
We had a blast playing a show in Vegas last month during our tour and hope to go back soon. It's such a fun place! But, we don't need to tell you, right? <wink, wink, nudge, nudge>
Last Night's Hemlock Show
by Jade - 11:02 a.m. PDT on Jul.1.2010
Greetings from the land of the Crazies! Last night was another rockin'
adventure at Hemlock Tavern . We had a fantastic time playing and really dug the
energy of the crowd, which was unexpectedly substantial, especially for a
Wednesday night. If you were there, huge thanks! My favorite part of the night
was hearing the audience's beautiful voices join in for singing Happy Birthday
to Tina. Much love! Speaking of love, The Interchangeable Hearts opened up the
night and they were great -- to me they sounded like a Blondie / Fiona Apple /
Cake three-way lovechild. Check 'em out. Also, Warren Teagarden and The Good Grief tore it up at
the end of the night -- their music sounded solid solid solid with their
new(ish) line-up. Thinking on it now, Hemlock is definitely one of my favorite
local venues to play. Great sound, people, and bartenders, not to mention the
local flavor, which last night included a guy who rapped positive rhymes for us
outside the venue at 2am.
Next up for us is a festival show in Antioch
on Saturday, July 24th. We have advanced tickets on hand ($10) and will be
making quite the party out of it, so please get in touch if you'd like to come
out to the warm weather with us! I'm looking forward to tailgating in the
summer sun and then rocking out at night.
June Tour & Upcoming Local Shows
by Tina - 12:22 p.m. PDT on Jun.21.2010

Now, we are looking forward to our upcoming local show at the Hemlock Tavern in San Francisco on June 30th with Warren Teagarden and The Interchangeable Hearts. Also, we've added (and will continue to add) more local shows in the upcoming months. Check our shows page for more details.

For all of you who missed the live show: We got the word that the
podcast/recording will probably not be available due to technical
problems with the recording equipment during the show. So, if you
didn't catch it live, you probably won't hear it at all. But, we
were
asked back for another interview that will probably take place
sometime
in April. We'll announce it as soon as the details become available. |

Slammer Nabs Equalizer and Wicker Man or: Thanks for Coming Out to the Hemlock to Celebrate the Release of Megafauna
by Tony -11:07 p.m. PST on Nov.16.2009
Edward Woodward, who played the urbanglo (i.e., a hybrid of urbane and anglo -- in the '80's we could have called this a sniglet) quasi-vigilante Robert McCall in the cult 1980's TV show The Equalizer, died today. While Woodward was undoubtedly super-cool in that show playing an ass-kicking Brit who fed bad guys just desserts when the police wouldn't, he will be best remembered by geeks like myself as the hapless protagonist of The Wicker Man, one of the most unexpectedly frightening -- and frighteningly unexpected -- creepout films of the 1970's. You start out thinking this film is just some goofy hippy-era celebration of paganism and non-traditional lifestyles, but don't be fooled -- this film has fangs. And whatever you do, do not turn the movie off before it ends, even if you find yourself wondering why the hell you bothered with it when you could be in stoner-bliss watching Mother-Fucking-Nature crush the Earth in Roland Emmerich's latest cock-tosterone-fueled disaster epic. I'm serious -- if you make it to the end of The Wicker Man, it's a film you won't soon forget.
Speaking of creepy things that end on a high note, the Crazies want to thank everyone who came out to our CD release show Thursday night at the Hemlock. It was an awesomely fun night for us, and we loved having the support of so many friends. We're working on scheduling more shows for the coming months (with more new songs to boot!), so stay tuned for that. And if you didn't get a copy of Megafauna, we'll be selling it very soon on CDBaby.com. Ciao!
