NYC Cake Shop show review by Blend77 / Zen and the Art of Face Punching blog

noreply@blogger.com (Robert Pettersen) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 18:50:00 +0000

I sweated about 5 lbs of liquid out of my body. I went home emaciated and glowing. I can only hope for more shows like this.

This show review by Blend77 from Zen and the Art of Face Punching blog caught my eye. It captures a bit of the feeling of these past shows.

Who Calls So Loud news and Rex's new project - Tamaryn!

noreply@blogger.com (Robert Pettersen) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:17:00 +0000

Matthew's other band Who Calls So Loud recently lost a guitarist and, as a consequence, had to cancel their Japanese tour. They are still at it though, and have a new 12" out too. See their myspace site for more details: http://www.myspace.com/whocallssoloud

Rex has a new project that just announced a couple record releases, one of which is on Troubleman Unlimited. He co-wrote all the songs, engineered and produced. They recently played a well-received gig in New York and are working on more songs. Tamaryn is the voice and the name of the project.

New blog - ugly but better

noreply@blogger.com (Robert Pettersen) — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 21:13:00 +0000

Hi there.
We have decided to change the site to a blog format, as it will be much easier to keep it updated that way. A little uglier, but hopefully more relevant. We promise to keep it up to date.
