"without madball, music wouldn't exist."

hello all radically hellacious dudes and babes. this is my third (and most complex) post on this blog, and my first one of 2010. (fun fact: i have not posted one here since december 29.)

our first show january 11 was a lot of fun. i want to give huge thanks to ray strife / to live and die in nj for putting us on this show at his old house (R.I.P. last week). ray has been a very good friend of mine for about six years, and i was very happy that we could play this show with him.

our second show on february 6 was a great time as well. it was great to play in J.W.Y. with longtime friends seasick and zhenia golov. also, cumming clean was cool too. thanks to everyone who came out in almost two feet of snow, and donated (vegan) food and money to hub city food not bombs. it's a big sigh of relief to see hardcore kids who are doing something positive for their communities. my goal is to keep positive community projects such as FNB going and growing. thanks again.

we will have our first round of t-shirts this friday. i am not going to post a picture right now, but i will say that they are parody shirts and they are hilarious. they will be $8 in person at shows, or $10 USD ppd via paypal. if you order online from us, expect a demo, stickers, buttons, and erotic notes from one of us included in your package. if you ever need t-shirts for your band or elks club, i would recommend hitting up my dude jason at willcott printing. he does shirts for us, stressed out, and dystrophy...and he is rad.

upcoming shows:


friday 2/26 @ school of rock (fort washington, pa) w/ abserdo (thanks dudes!), common enemy (lol), shitlist, venereal exchange (just break up already!). cooooooool.

saturday 2/27 @ charm city art space (baltimore, md) w/ eddie brock (rad pv dudes), the skin cells, factors of four, zeus. jack i cannot wait to lick your beautiful face when i see you. also, yabba pot cafe anyone?!

sunday 3/7 @ mill hill basement (trenton, nj) w/ outlast (<3), bring out your dead, progress, a lesser evil. this show is SERIOUSLY at 5 pm and we're playing 1st. i love joe pulito and i cannot wait to smell his musk.

and because i love this band: thanks to mike davis for being genuinely awesome, always looking out for me, and posting far more hilarious blogs than i do. thanks to justin for being the most hardcore person in this band (BY FAR), and for being responsible for the hilarious title of this blog entry. thanks to jordan for being one of the nicest, coolest humans i have ever known. you deserve cake!

most importantly, thanks to you for reading this, coming to our shows, listening to our songs, and taking an interest in d.i.y. music, art, and expression.

thumbs up all around! xo, NJ

ps - you should read the stressed out blog too.

  1. yo dudes, we're stoked to be playing with you guys at the mill hill, even if the show is at 5 o'clock. rad tunes, keep it up.

    p.s does it seem a little too freaky that my name is actually mike davis? i'm not even kidding, and i'm pretty much 100% positive i'm not the mike davis you were talking about in this post. anyway see you dudes on sunday
