Fuzzy Pixs from the Crystal

This if from some video shot by Mike at the Crystal Corner Bar on March 15, 2008

Second Time's a Charm!

The last time we tried to leave town was December 21st. It snowed, then rained, then snowed. We weren't happy. There's been snow covering the ground ever since!

We're going to try it again. This time we've rigged up the van and are prepared to achieve escape velocity.

It's taken us three months to complete the calculations but I think we're on to something...Though, we haven't accounted for drag...

[Wikihow recommends "one takes a course in physics at a higher education facility" in order to get the calculations right.]

Blast off to Waukesha on March, 29th, 2008 to play at the Mainstage. We're the first act at 9:30 followed by Dad the Plow and Subatomic.

Happy Birthday Nancy Wilson!

You just won me five bucks!

Tim insisted that Nancy was the Brunette. I said, "No way, man! Don't challenge my Slauson Junior H.S. memories of Dream Boat Annie."

I wanted to wager for his soul. In a fine moment of clarity, he said, "No! Five bucks."

Smart man.

The Bifecta!

This ain't horse racing but we're happy to say that this weekend's show is a "pick of the week" for both the Onion and the Isthmus.

I don't have a copy of the Onion with me but the Isthmus had this to say:

After a lineup change, a renewed Motor Primitievs work up a heavier backing for smoky-voiced singer/guitarist Pam Barrett’s passionate take on Stiff Records-era rocking. Goat Radio and Sigourney Weavers open.

That's funny, I haven't smoked since I was 12.

Goat Radio and the Sigourney Weavers

We're playing Saturday, March 15th at the Crystal Corner with two very cool bands, Goat Radio and the Sigourney Weavers. Thinking of the two bands together conjures up an interesting image.

Goat Radio's a great Madison band that we've never played with before. This seems strange because members of this band have been rockin' Madison for years. They've got guys from the Randy Cliffs and Sin City Injectors and have been labeled by some as alt-country. I think they sound more like good old southern rock!

We've played with the opening before. The Sigourney Weavers are just plain weird. But, there's nothing wrong with that! In fact, I can honestly say that I like every single member of that band. They don't play out much because they can't seem to get their shit together. But when they do play out...Look out baby!

Happy St. Ides of O'Bunny Day

This little fella doesn't know whether he wants to celebrate the Ides of March or St. Patrick's day.

"Here comes Peter cotton tail, hopping (or staggering drunk) down the bunny trail."

Easter IS on it's way but first we have to stab Caesar and drink crappy green beer.


Come on down to the Crystal Corner and celebrate Brutus (last of the "no-nonsense" politician) with us this Saturday (3/15/8).

Word (Thing) Association

What do all of these things have in common with our next gig?





































Holy Orange-Julius-Ce[a]sar-Chavez-Romero-Salad-Dressing Batman! It's the Ides of March!!!
