Oct. 14, 2009: hoo boy, it has been quite some time since i updated handglops.com. i hope you're not too bummed. a lot has been happening! i have finished school, moved out to the "bug city" and have finished a new set of songs for the split tape with Sea Lions on Obeast, which is actually coming out really soon. i shall make an update when i can on that matter. i have played a number of shows since we last spoke, some were better than others but i think i had a lot of fun and that's really all that matters! got a big show coming up at swarthmore with Blank Dogs and Little Girls, so go to that if you're in the philly area. i think it'll be one of the best shows i ever play probably. over the next couple days i am gonna get the site up to date w/ show archives, fliers and all that junk. hope you're having fun, maybe i will see you around!

Mar. 24, 2009: "Store" section added to the website where you can buy a Ronk Ng Rool CD, plus also one of the few remaining US Girls 7" records on Cherry Burger Records (order them together for a cool discount!) Working on lots of new songs. They are not so damn noisy but they are still fun. If you want to trade for a CD let me know! Cos i would like to trade some. Hope you're having fun. I want to play some shows too, we'll see if that could happen. Look out for some new records coming out pretty soon from Handglops!

Mar. 5, 2009: "Pretty soon" is now actually pretty soon on the Gulchr CD. First promos are going out next week. I will be getting some copies of my own too, probably in a week or so after that! I am getting a bunch that I will be selling in a new online store section, which will be running when I get the CD's. They will be for the nice price.

Also, got some new records forthcoming -- a split tape with one of my favorite pop bands going, Sea Lions (out of Oxnard, CA), on a label that is to be determined. Also, me and G Green, Trudgers, and Jeans Wilder, all more real cool bands from California, are putting out our own 4 way split 7". A lot of people hate that format, but we are like "why not put out a 4 way split 7"... it is economical in these tough times and we are going to work to make the songs fit well together. It will be one of your favorite records. Like the old days when bands could put out a 4 way split and people would be like "ok cool, i can hear 4 bands for the price of one!" SEE YA! :)

Jan. 13, 2009: The tour went well! Many thanks to everyone who helped us set up the shows and who came to them! We had fun, hopefully we can play more in the near future. We are currently working on finishing up demo #4, russ and i recorded the music a couple weeks ago and i am writing some lyrics now. Those songs hsould be up on myspace pretty soon. The Gulcher CD should be out officially pretty soon too, so look out for that. Also, there have been many updates to the website. check out the new audio section where you can stream a bunch of stuff. Just look around a bit and you will find some cool stuff.
