PleaseBarack!
We had a great time playing at Governor Perdue's Reception at the Republican National Convention last week in Minneapolis. Inspired by our friends who were working for a cause in which they believed and asked us to play, we came back and decided to make our voice heard.
We have differing opinions, but we're not partisan a-holes. We promise. Read about our adventures on our new blog
PleaseBarack.com. Thank Y O U for Baracking.

Our new year's resolution for 2008 is to do something awesome and utterly original
every Thursday night at the 10 High. Throw our approach towards music, comedy, and film into a glass. Muddle with sugar cane, lime, and mint. You'll be sipping on an entertainment mojito like you've never tasted. Details coming soon...
Limozeen on '80s Guitar Hero
Y O U now appears on 2 songs on the

Trogdor on Guitar Hero 2!
People are video-gaming to our guitar-playing. Never thought I would type that one.
Short version = we played on the
Strongbad Sings record for the Homestar Dudes, the video game gods asked them to use the song, they said yes, and now you can unlock the song if you've earned enough "money" playing "gigs" on the game. Burnination 4 Ever.
