So the holidays are upon us and everyone is going crazy trying to find the right gift for someone. Well, after you’re exhausted spending all that time with your crazy uncle or your cousin with the drooling problem, get loose and unwind this New Year’s Eve weekend at Toad in Cambridge on that Saturday  (Jan. 2nd)  with the band, and with a crazy after-party entitled “Take it to the Limit”.  You can check it out on Facebook as well.

Also, to spice it up a bit, here is another new sex toy for your ear canal. Part of an ongoing collection of music called Keep Your Ear to the Door.  It’s a tasty romp of a slide guitar jam called “Livin in Hell” and we just may play it at Toad. Let us know what you think.

Yeah so we had an awesome time at the Porter Belly’s show. I have heard nothing but great praise about it, and I thank you all for coming up and out. It was a lot of god damn fun.  It was amazing to see everyone dancing and rocking out.  Unfortuantly we did hear some sad news that it will be Marisabel Portillo’s last Stem show, for about a year. She is on her way to Abu dhabi of all places, where I will admit is a huge lack of Stem. You will be missed.

In other news, less sad, Ryan Beckman took these awesome photos

and this awesome one here as well, which may be our new band Photo

If you like his work then go check out his website at  www.ryangbeckman.com. Our sound guy Ryan Yorck did a fantastic job as well, adding beautiful amounts of dub style to our rock sound. Must be something with the name Ryan.

The only downside of that night is that we all got good and drunk and played some ear bleeding rock.  Oh wait, that’s not a downside.

Rock it out ya’ll and I look forward to the next show.  Also stay tuned cause we had the show recorded, and if they sound good, you will see them very shortly.

Hey Friends and Strangers,

For those of you who attended the Bills Bar show, you now get to have a piece of it.  For those of you who missed the show, you can listen to it and pretend you were there. And there is nothing wrong with pretending, I do it all the time. In fact after this I am going to go back to being a Ninja.

So with out further hesitation please help your self to this copy of the Bill’s Bar Show. It’s a great quality recording, with great tracks that half of which we don’t have recorded yet.
Shake it
Lost Love
Can’t you see
Down in the Water
Shit Kickin’
Mannish Boy

Download is FREE  so please grab away, pass it around to friends, and let us know your thoughts, fond memories, or nightmares from that show. Also check out the cool graphic that plays in the background…..pretty snazzy.

Hey all

Thanks to everyone for writing in with your suggestions. We took them all into consideration and spent long hours debating. It even caused a few arguments to turn into blows. Matt Smith picked up a chair and started swinging it widely asking why we couldn’t learn how to “rock in the free world”.  Still not sure what he meant, he has since been heavily sedated and put under surveillance.

However we came to a conclusion on bringing your 15 some odd suggestions and turning it into an 8 song set.  So, without any further adieu, I bring to you, the set list for this Saturday.

Gravel – not on any album- but it F’nnng rocks!
Wakefield – new song for all you rock reggae fans
Dig My Own Grave -classic sing along about digging your own grave.
Shake it – for all you dancers, turn it funky
Lost Love – change the funk to a grove and keep it bouncin
Can’t You See – back to a serious funk hip hop from Marshall Tucker (just for you Amanda)
Down in the Water – From the B-Sides keep funky, make it bluesy (thanks Chris)
Shit Kickin’- end it with some good ole down home country Kick Ass (Geooooff)
Super Baddass Awesome Ending. – you’ll just have to wait and see. (just for fun)

This is from the feedback from all of you fine people letting us know what music you love.  I look forward to seeing you all at the show. Its going to be awesome. Hopefully we can squeeze this all into 45 minutes.

Bills Bar baby here we come this Saturday! Time for all of us, and yes that means you, to rock this mother fucker down!

We will be performing at the Quarter in Harrisburg PA on Saturday Feb. 14th as part of the 13th annual Millennium Music Conference. This is a movie about one of our biggest fans……Tell us what you think and if you like it show a friend.
