Dfest was great!

Thanks to all of our favorite people who came out to Dfest last night! We were lucky enough to have a capacity crowd, it made our year!

Next up for us-

I (Riley Jantzen) am going to be working all August opening up a store in Enid, Oklahoma. You can find out more about that and fallow the process at THIS LINK.

Along with the new store I will be getting a new LARGE studio space to RECORD THE NEW RECORD IN!

We are excited as could be.

Thank you friends

Riley.

Busy times!

Hey friends and lovers!

Hope you are all doing well, mayola has been hard at work getting ready for all of our upcoming shows and I have been working on the new record all that I can.

I gotta say I'm not a big Easter lover or anything, but our friends in south Texas and Mexico are so much cooler than us, we hunt for harmless little eggs, get some little fatty candy out of them then go home and pray that we are not to fat by the 4th of July.

But they....

Cascarones

(these were some made by my awesome lady and her awesome sister)

They chase each other around smashing eggs with confetti in them over each others heads...ALL OF AMERICA NEEDS TO ADOPT THIS! (and not screw it up...I do not want to involve a costume bunny smashing them over kids heads...that is scary)

We are playing a number of shows with our friends GENTLE GHOST this month, so please check them out! They are kind of new but they are recording and are a delight to watch!

Unlike our government...

I would like to let you know what is going on...

We have been playing some shows, writing some songs and doing what bands do...but where it gets interesting is the fact that...

WE ARE GOING TO START RECORDING A NEW ALBUM THIS WEEK!

We are not planning on setting a date to be finished any time soon, but I will be keeping you up to date on how things are going and posting photos of it all.

Now moving on...

We played at the Opolis with Musee Mecanique and they were nothing short of awesome, so check them out.

That's all for now.

So about Friday night at the Conservatory...

Pretty fun times, I had intended to get a bunch of photos and post them...then I got there and realized my IPhone takes crappy show pictures...

So I would like you to close your eyes and imagine a bunch of people having a good time to some good diverse music.

I don't have a whole lot to say about The City Lives
given the fact that they just got off tour with the All American Rejects, they are good as you would expect and pretty nice fellas as well.

As for The Macabre. Last night was there first show and I gotta give it to them it was pretty awesome. Good fun rock and roll music like oh so many people enjoy. So don't hesitate to catch them next time you see there name.

As for the rest of the night we enjoyed $1.00 Lions Heads (the beer) and just so you know Lions Head beats the crap out of lost lake (Lions Head > Lost Lake)...so once again, next time you see Lions Head don't hesitate to drink 9 or 10.

We also got to spend some quality time with our friends from The Ugly Suit and The Non.

With all that being said...drink responsibly and spread love.

Riley.

Mayola the early days!

Most bands would attempt to hide stuff like this...

Mayola 2005









That was on the lawn of the courthouse in Enid Oklahoma (our original home town) at noon. Hot and still teenagers. But I like to think we are still hot teenagers.

Anybody got any good music for me to listen to?
I need some new tunes, comment if you got anything for me!

We're in the gazette.

So here's a little bit about our new year's show that Lacey Lett wrote for the OK Gazette.

Read it here!

I think what it proves is that Antonio likes to drink.
