Field Day

Drag

2010-06-12T14:12:00.003-04:00

Well the past year has been such a drag...something went bad after recording the 7". Now we are done. Thanks everyone. Curtis especially.

I doubt we'll have a final show.

Bye,
Jon

Yes/test/no

2009-11-09T02:42:00.001-05:00

Fest ruled so much. Fun to be outta town to play a show. Lots of friends were there to support us. We had a great time, thanks to Curtis for the opportunity to have fun.

We're currently out of seven inches...at least the test pressing. We should be getting the real deal shortly.

We may have a metric ass ton of shows this month so keep up. Check the myspace for frequent updates.

- Jon

Oh yeah

2009-10-22T21:03:00.000-04:00

Working on new material...getting the ball rolling.

Should be getting the test press in soon. Then it's straight to The Fest in Florida for Halloween. Show November 8th at Strange Matter (929 west grace) with Algernon Cadwaller, Antlers, and Bandname.

We have two more shows in November, back-to-back, on the 29th and 30th. More info as I get it.

Sorry

2009-09-28T12:14:00.000-04:00

Not playing the show at Gallery 5 anymore, however, it'll still be great.

Records should be here soon.

Christian Television

2009-09-14T13:47:00.002-04:00

We have a song up now from the 7" on the Rorschach Records release on their myspace.

YES

2009-08-24T16:59:00.002-04:00

Show Saturday was really sweet. Coald Toast killed it, as well as Jungle Beat. Actually everyone there killed it. Great show. Next show is September 5th.

Bandname, Kite Party, Fine Lines, and we. Show is at "The Clubhouse", which I'm not sure where that is, but I'm sure it'll be easy to find out. Starts at 9pm.

Recording went well. It's all done and should be out before The Fest. We'll see.

The Philly Show

2009-08-14T20:04:00.001-04:00

8/17
philadelphia, pa @ garageland (7th and mifflin s. philly)
with BOYS AND SEX, BIG FICTION, and FIELD DAY
6PM - $5 sugg. donations

I'm stoked. We're stoked. GET STOKED!

Wish us luck

2009-08-14T10:18:00.003-04:00

Going into the studio tomorrow. Leaving for Philly tonight. Should be exciting.

Two songs should be enough for you right? One song is two songs...so it's like three. I'm excited. I'm excited. I'm excited. Playing a show in Philly Monday. Have no clue where, but I know Catalyst are playing. I'll get my copy of that new jam, Swallow Your Teeth, also recorded by Steve Roche.

The new Star Trek film was great!

Time to record again

2009-08-06T14:57:00.003-04:00

Hope everyone's enjoying the EP, if you don't have one...we'll have a show soon and have some more. If you know someone that has one, cop that disc!

We've not had time to play a show, reason being, we're recording yet again. This time all new jams, hopefully. We've finished one song and almost another. We're torn between writing a third or redoing a song. 7 inches of wax are a whole different realm to work within.

We're recording the 15th with Steve Roche in Philly. He did the new Catalyst album, which kicks fucking hard. He's also done oodles of others. Co-founder of Level Plane Records and cured cancer. The recording will be out sometime next year I believe. Thanks again to Curtis of Rorschach Records for putting it out.

Thanks

2009-07-16T04:11:00.002-04:00

Thanks friends for coming out tonight. Stubbs and I made a batch of twenty eps, last minute. I don't even think it's the final mix, but it was long overdue to give people something. Thanks to you who bought one so that we are able to buy materials to have more for others. In the meantime, help out and burn some...perhaps a song on a sweet-summer-memory mix cd.

Looks like we're heading up north sometime next month. NY, PA, and DC seems to be all I know thus far. We'll be recording amidst the trip. Curtis from Rorschach Records shall be putting a 7" out of new jams, out December. Starting to work on t-shirts and a screen for the ep we handed out today.
If you're curious about track listing:

Field Day - Barbie with Gun Rouge Squadron
1.Wawawun
2.Booya
3.Eat it Jon eat it
4.Biscuits and Gravy
5.Pork and Beans
6.Obviousbodyfunction

A job well done

2009-07-14T11:43:00.002-04:00

We finished recording with Tim of Double O Records. Sounds wonderful. We probably won't have a cd for you Wednesday, however, if you want to listen to it, that can happen. What's even more exciting is that we're recording again in less than a month. I believe we'll be playing a show in New York City as well. Self-management isn't really our strength as a band, so I'm not really able to give any details, since I've not been told any.

Show is this Wednesday @ Nara Sushi. Starts at 10 and we'll probably be first or second so get there on time.

Jon

Good news everyone

2009-07-01T02:49:00.002-04:00

We're going to have music for you to take home! We'll be recording next week in VA Beach and if we're lucky have some cdr-s to give out by the 15th. That show is with Tiger Jaw, Black Powder, Kite Party, and Snowing @ Nara Sushi. I imagine that show will start promptly since there are a lot of bands.

Then, next month, we'll be recording with Steve Roche (of Off Minor) that will be put out on Rorschach Records. Probably being released at the end of the year but maybe we'll throw a song or two on the cdr-s in the meanwhile.

We're playing the Fest in Florida this Halloween, so the next couple months shall be fun. We need to get some merch going so if you have any art you'd like to submit, that'd be outstanding. Watch out for the Field Day polos.

Happy Independence Day and treat each other well.

Jon

No tour

2009-05-13T14:59:00.002-04:00

So tour is cancelled, however we'll be booking one ourself soon enough. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In other news show the 16th should be pretty sweet @ Nara Sushi. 5 bucks and starts at 10.

We're also no longer playing the show at the Bike Lot Sunday, but ya'll should still come out and see off Antlers and Brainworms.

A tour

2009-05-08T11:35:00.003-04:00

We've been a bit inactive on account of Kyler losing some index finger. He's recovered for the most part and we are writing. We've just about finished a set for the tour we're doing at the end of the month with Hail Hydra. I'm not sure of the dates or locations but as I know I'll let you know. I believe we'll have some merch of some sort to sell as well. Shirts, maybe stickers...dunno.

We have two shows before tour. May 16th @ Nara w/Mouthbreather and May 19th @ the Bike Lot with Antlers and Ultra Dolphins.

COME OUT!

Thursday show

2009-04-06T10:45:00.004-04:00

Wanli had to back off and another band joined. Also my friend will be opening with some acoustic jams. Pretty soulful night. I'm excited.

Pleaes donate to the cause if you make it out. Please tell friends as well.

Upcoming shows:
April 21st @ Nara Sushi
w/World/Inferno Friendship Society and Botox Party
$8

April 29th w/Tera Melos on Hell Block

Show tonight

2009-03-26T12:35:00.005-04:00

We're playing Turboslut's last show. Should be way sweet! Sweat Lodge and Sinola are on the bill as well. Starts at 10 as most Nara show's do. Going to be epic.

We're playing a benefit on the 9th of April for our friends who lost their homes recently. A fire broke, but luckily no person was injured.

We'll be playing with Wanli, and The Gagged, both are dear friends of mine, so I'm really excited.

Jon

That's a spicy meatball

2009-02-26T18:08:00.003-05:00

Finished the live recording with Stephen from Black Powder. I'm not sure what we'll do with it, but we do have a song up on the myspace. We have a show on the 4th of March with O, Pioneers, Botox Party, and El Zombie @ the Czar. Shouldn't be more than 5 bucks. Starts at 9.

I think we're going to work on the material we have and work out some rough edges. Then another recording session, then a release. Maybe we'll have another song or two by then. Maybe some t-shirts. I've always been horrible at gettin' merch for bands. I'll have some handmade patches at the show on the 4th, handmade and free.

Jon

Hi friends

2009-02-22T02:17:00.002-05:00

We recorded some really rough stuff today. Went really well. Should be finished tomorrow. We shall have some for the shows coming up. We have a few coming up back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back to back.

March 4th (Stubbs Birfday)
w/ O Pioneers!!!, Botox Party, El Zombie
929 W. Grace St. Richmond, The Czar, 23220
Cost: $5

We have another on the 6th I believe...and another on the 16th. I'm not sure of the details yet. We haven't figured out the whole communication thing. I'll update when I know.

Updates

2009-01-23T21:03:00.006-05:00

Thanks everyone for coming last Friday. That show was incredible. Brainworms, Little Lung, and Ultra Dolphins killed it.

We're no longer playing the 29th. The show got moved to the 22nd of February for those still interested in seeing the other bands, but we won't be playing.

We're due to record a rough demo sometime next week with my buddy Chris. Then we're going to over analyze the shit out of our songs, change them up, and tie up the loose ends, or untie them...whichever will happen. Then we're going to record a demo to distribute and shall have copies to give people when we play our next show (early March).

More music

2009-01-05T12:37:00.002-05:00

January 5th at Nara Sushi with This Black Box, Fine Lines, and My Heart to Joy

Starts at 9pm

$5

Although, I do have a feeling that it starts at 10pm as the last one did. I'm not sure of the order yet.

Also, we'll be playing the 29th @ Rumors Boutique w/Tereu Tereu, Sean Walsh & the National Reserve, and the Vermillions. Starts at 8pm. Donations!

This hurts

2008-12-25T14:35:00.003-05:00

Show went nice, thanks for coming out. We're gonna be recording a rehearsal pretty soon and work on vocals. Then we'll probably record some material to demo.

Animal Glitches confirmed interest in doing the shirts so expect those.

Happy Holidays,
Jon

This is pretty funny

2008-12-21T22:34:00.001-05:00

Dog Malfunction

Show tomorrow at Nara Sushi should be fun. New order of songs and a new song. It's not finished but we're so excited about it that we've figured a way to play most of it for you tomorrow. Starts at 9pm and is cost 3 dollars.

See you there
Jon

Yes!

2008-12-14T23:55:00.000-05:00

Come all

2008-12-08T18:10:00.001-05:00

First off thanks for everyone for the past few shows. If you go to flickr.com and look for Tony Lynch you can find pictures of the show at Rumors. No pics from the other shows have turned up yet.

Two shows coming up

Dec 22nd at Nara Sushi with Hail Hydra!

Starts at 9pm

January 5th at Nara Sushi with This Black Box, Fine Lines, and My Heart to Joy

Starts at 9pm

I believe we're going to attempt to record a demo before the new year. If we do maybe we'll have a few copies for the January 5th show. I'm working on making patches but everyday I have off life happens and I run outta time.

I really really want the Animal Glitches crew to design a Field Day shirt or two...or ten perhaps. They are such fresh shirts. Check 'em out if you've not already.

-Jon
