Ever since we were 18 and used to head up every summer to Montréal to drink beers under 21 and look at boobs, we always noticed how strong and amazing of a punk scene there is in that city. I mean we heard NoFX, Rancid and Goldfinger in bars, and girls knew what it was.

Well since I have moved there, our suspicions have been confirmed: Punk Rock is alive and well in MTL, and a huge part of it is thanks to Hugo Mudie, past singer of Fat Wreck Chords’ Montréal band, The Sainte Catherines. The band is finished, but Hugo continues to fuel MTL punk through playing, booking and especially by creating Pouzza Fest, a very quickly growing yearly punk festival each May in Montréal.

Through some friends I’ve met over the past few years, we’ve been invited to play Pouzza’s weekly Saturday series, and it feels awesome to be a part of it. It’s our first time outside of the U.S. and we’d love to bring along any SPC/G-Town faithfuls, who want to come up that weekend and show these Québecois how we do it south of the border. So get in touch and you can come up in one of the cars.

(Lost Love is friends of mine. It’s their first show, and I’m really pumped that we get to do our first show in Montréal with friends. Like their page!:

Yea I know that’s not Nick in the picture, but the rest of it is so great. Anyways, so one way or another people are apparently sort of hearing about us here and there, and asking us to play shows, which is a pretty badass break from having to beg other people to let us play their shows. So thank you to anyone who is in anyway responsible for this bizarre phenomenon. As a result, we’ve got some new shows!

Saturday night December 22nd were playing the second annual “Deck the Hulls” holiday show, w/The Hulls, Pickpocket, and Defcon Five at Rudy’s @ 1227 Chapel St. New Haven, CT. 
Facebook Event Here – Thanks to Jason Duguay from Project Sound Recording, as well as the guys in The Hulls for the hookup on this one.

Then closer to home on Friday night January 18th, we’re playing The Boston Bloghead January Punk Showcase at Radio Lounge 379-381 Somerville Ave. Somerville, MA. Thanks to Steve from Boston Bloghead for hooking us up with this one. Also if you’re unfamiliar with their site, check it out. Great album and show reviews, interviews and show listings all related to Boston music.

This year we give thanks for this awesome lineup. Seriously, in this world of everyone and their mother having a crappy band and telling everyone how great their show is going to be and begging you to come, it’s amazing we have four bands that kick this much ass. So this time, there will be no attempted convincing of how fun the show would be. Stay home if you want. We’ll be there, and we’re gonna love this fucking show. Screw you guys. $8 18+

(In seriousness, everyone will be home for thanksgiving so it would be cool to be able to catch up with as many people as possible. Hope to see you there, and as per In The Meantime show policy Anna’s is nearby)

Rhode Island has been awesome to us and it’s gonna be great to get back!!! No B.S. this night. Just an awesome solid lineup of straight punk all the way through – Headlined by one of the most polished, kick – ass punk bands underground in New England right now, The Down and Outs (click link to listen to them on facebook)

This show is going to be at the very cool News Cafe, which is an 18 + venue and 21+ to drink. The cover is $5 for a great show, but DRAFT BEERS ARE $2 AND MIXED DRINKS ARE $4!!!! So I’m sure we’re all in agreement the $5 is well worth it!

Show is from 8:00PM – 12:30 AM and will also have The Bitchin Aardvarks and others.

The News Cafe 43 Broad St. Pawtucket, RI 02860

Hope some Boston larrys can make it out to this one!! Hope to see you there!

NO NFL PLAYOFFS THIS WEEKEND?? WTF!!!!

Well good news…we’re playing this all day, all pop-punk extravaganza on Sunday the 29th with a ton of other bands.

We’re on at 7:00 PM, and per (what appears to be becoming) our new band rule, there is an Anna’s Taqueria within walking distance of the show!

Also if you want to reserve in advance you can get in for $8 as opposed to $10 the day of. There are no physical tickets so just get in touch with any of us (text/call/fb message) and reserve/commit up front and you can give us the $8 either when we see you or the day of.

So its Sunday – let’s day drink, crush burritos, and jam on nostalgic sounding pop punk!!!  All Ages, 21 To Drink.

Facebook Event link here…     http://www.facebook.com/events/175146492593519/

See you all there!!!

So we did this awesome toys for tots benefit show called Home For The Skalidays in Providence last month, and this awesome guy Phil was there who works with Examiner.com covering the music scene in Providence.  He asked us to do an interview with him, and here it is!! Turns out he included an album review, so we got that now too, pretty cool. Anyways you can check that out above!

Also, I’m pretty pumped to announce that on Sunday 1/29, we’re gonna be doing an ALL-day ALL-ages pop-punk show at ALL Asia Cafe in Cambridge, MA. I miss the days of these all ages events. These kids really know how to have a good time beyond just standing still and drinking pabst tall boy cans. Anyways theres 10 bands on this thing, and although its not 21 +, All Asia is still a bar so come out and day drink with us!!

We’ll be selling tickets in advance for just $8 ($10 at door) so get in touch on our Facebook if you want to come and save 2 bucks. Here is the Facebook event for info:

(We don’t know what time we’re playing yet but have been told we’ll be closer to the end. We’ll update when we can. Thx to Rich Collier and Keynote Company for this one)

You can now preview every song on the album and purchase it right through the iTunes store for $9.99 (they set the price not us, sorry). If you want a physical copy with all of the included artwork, you can still buy that right here through the website for the regular price of $8.00 (Credit Debit Paypal), or of course in person at one of our shows ($8 flat at shows – NO S&H!!). Also thanks again to everyone who bought a copy at or came out to our release show at The Rosebud.

Physical Copy Through Mail $8.00

Finally, we’re gonna swallow our pride and ask for the support of everyone who has already or who eventually purchases the album (physically or digitally) and ask that you please leave us an album rating/review on iTunes.

It will be amazingly helpful and huge for us as it will help bring our album further up the list of searches on iTunes, and hopefully put us ahead of this other “In The Meantime” character whose stuff as of now comes up in the same search as us . Just click “view in iTunes”. You’ll see where you can rate/review.

Thanks so much everyone, and keep an eye out for new shows very soon!    -Dan

After hours of studio time and endless burritos and fart jokes, followed by weeks of me using my “ethnic powers of persuasion” to haggle over shipping costs, we’re finally pumped to announce that we will be releasing our long awaited (by our parents and girlfriends) 12-track full length album!. Speaking of burritos, we are going to be holding a special release show at The Rosebud in Davis Sq. Somervile (381 Summer Street) right across the street from Anna’s taqueria!!! on BLACK FRIDAY (BWAH HAH HAH!!!) Nov. 25th. Shorthanded Goal and others TBA will be burrito-ing and rocking with us as well.

Also, as of now, we’re officially offering a DISCOUNTED PRE-SALE of the new album between now and the show (when the album becomes available) . If you pre-order online, you can reserve a copy of the album to be picked up at the show for ONLY $6!!!!  $2 off the regular sale price of $8. Secure payment can be made through paypal, either through a paypal account, or debit/credit. So for 6 bucks, you might as well just go ahead and buy it, cause you know we’re gonna guilt you into it otherwise. In fact, even if you hate the record,  the 6 bucks will be worth never having to hear us ask you to buy one again, WELL worth it.

So to re-cap, come to the show for the burritos (not for our music), and pre-order a copy of our record in order to not be harassed by us (not for our music)! Here’s the facebook event page with all the info on the show.

Thanks in advance to anyone who buys a copy or comes to the show. It means a lot to us. See ya at Anna’s!!!

This should be an awesome time. This is a going away/graduation party put together by and for our friend Rachel Rosen. A true celebration of Peabody Larryness with other larry ass Peabody performances: Out of Nothing, Fishing the Sky, and Ross Livermore! Tone Fresco will be DJ-ing as well.

This is a public event so all are welcome, but Rachel wants everyone to know that the theme of the party is “Tight and Bright”, so put together your most ridiculous neon gear because the best costume (male and female) wins prizes from a package from local businesses worth over $1,000. I’ve seen the list, lots of bars, liquor stores, and burrito shops!  There will also be raffles for some of the prizes.

Anyways its short notice, but it should be awesome and its right in town, so come out and larry it up, and welcome Jake home from Europe too!! See ya there.
