AUGUST 27, 2005 - Greetings Friends, Family and Cartoons. We have been getting alot of questions from alot of people about alot of things. We gonna answer a few:
1. Why did you change your band name? We felt the name Brat didn't give a good enough representation of us and our style. If you never heard us or heard Brat you would check us out expecting to hear a 14 year old girl punk band. And even though Will does sing like a girl we are all not 14!
2. Will you still be playing Brat songs at your shows? Of course. These are not just Brat songs they are our songs : ).
3. When is the next show? Sept. 15 2005 at the Mojo. Check out myspace.com/paperbacktragedy rocks for more details.
4. How much does Clay weigh? 586 lbs.
5. When will the Album be finished and released? We guestimate finishing the album by the begining of October but the release date will not be until sometime mid December.
6. Where will the record release be? Either The Recher Theatre or The Sonar.
