handsome neck

and so it begins again....
it's easy to get comfortable in your own life and just want to stay home for a little while. but the new record is out and it is exciting to start playing these songs. our friend dominic is playing with us now too, so there's more happening onstage. there's more chaos, i think. more of a feeling that anything can happen at any given moment.
so far, we have played the west coast (san diego up to seattle) and every show has been unique and great. people that have chosen to come out and see the band have had so much energy. we played a show on a monday night in portland, and even though i broke 3 strings, 2 guitar straps, and 1 amp, it was somehow a perfect night. we went to the doug fir after the show, had a bite to eat. thank god we steered clear of the donut onion rings. yikes. some super nice dudes from pretty girls make graves and the blood brothers were there. i think they are in a new band called jaguar love. look out for em.
after our show in seattle, this severely drunk couple walked by us as we loaded the trailer. in a slurred voice, they asked us what our band was called. pat said "pencil neck". "handsome neck?", they asked. "yes, handsome neck", he answered. as they walked away, i heard them laugh and say "great. we're gonna go home and jerk off to your music..."
so there you have it, folks. we are now handsome neck. a new era is upon us.
talk soon,
