Upcoming Coolouts Shows

Somewhat amazingly, the Coconut Coolouts are currently only booked for two shows through the end of August. During this upcoming lag in our much-loved stage antics we hope to put paid to some long overdue studio time.

The plan is to record the "Nerd Holocaust" single ("Nerd Holocaust" b/w "Messed up Man") and what we hope to be our second long player, which I'm tentatively calling Hot Nights in the Banana Hammock. This is to protest the fact that we didn't use that name on our last one. Recording is to be done in the new Malabar Studios with the legendary Rainbow Rags manning the board. Wish us luck.

Here are the summer's remaining live dates:

• Saturday, July 19th at the Watertown Pub, Anacortes, Washington in conjunction with What the Heck Fest and Shipwreck Day. We're playing with Triumph of Lethargy Skinned Alive to Death. Should be fun!
• Wednesday, August 20th at the Funhouse in Seattle with The Wax Museums!

After that, you may not see us until fall.

American Cake Bomb

The smoking thing at center is a cake. After about 30 seconds of fuse it exploded all over everyone. Happy 4th of July. Thanks to Zack for hosting such a thorough gaggle of vagrants!

Records Out!

Unnatural Helpers and Fall-Outs Dates + Releases + SXSW

Happy 2008! There's a ton of stuff going on, and most of it's great, so I'll just get into it.

RELEASE DATES We have release dates set for a bunch of records:

• The Fall-Outs / The Fall-Outs - 3/4/08


• Coconut Coolouts / Party Time Machine - 3/4/08


• The Fall-Outs / Sleep - 3/11/08

Both Fall-Outs records are the first digital issues of two great records that came out on Steve Turner's (of Mudhoney fame) Super Electro label. I'm super honored to have the opportunity to make these records available digitally--they're classic records by a band that I love. All the releases will be available on iTunes, Emusic, Rhapsody, Amazon's download store and of bunch of other digital outlets.

SXSW The Fall-Outs, Unnatural Helpers, and Coconut Coolouts will all be performing at SXSW this year. Everyone will be playing the ERO showcase (we're still waiting on the specifics), and hopefully a bunch of other events during the week. We'll all be down there Thursday 3/13 through Saturday 3/15 so come find us and hang out. I'll post show specifics as they become available.

Coolouts on KDVS, Actual Pain

Actual Pain stuff is all over the Winner's Circle on Olive. I ordered the anitchrist crew neck sweatshirt--and I'm stupid excited.

I also seemed to forget to link to the Coconut Coolouts KDVS performance. Thanks to DJ Rick for having us, we were a bit worn out and bloated on fast food by the time we got there, but Davis was great.

Pizza Regret 7-inch

There's a new Coolouts seven-inch out on Seeing Eye Records. There are four songs on this one including (but not limited to) "Head Full of Stones" and "Pizza Regret."

Also, Lacey has posted a ton of pictures from our recent west coast tour on her Flickr page. If you want to see us or Tyvek doing foolish things, this is your chance.

The Stranger posted our brief, mostly factual tour diary on their Line Out blog. That's also interesting, or at least as interesting as any of the rest of our antics.

We Won!

The Coconut Coolouts just got back from a barnbender of a micro tour with Nice Smile and Detroit's favorite Honda-rock crew, Tyvek. If you missed it, you missed a whole lot of fun. Highlights included: Pete-za Party jumping off the top rope aiming an elbow at Nuckinfutz, Teen Wolf surfing on a Taco truck outside of Budget Rock, the evolution of the Coconut Coolouts from a "party" band to a "shopping" band, some ultimate shredding on the part of Tyvek, and the consumption of at least a billion tacos, some from said taco truck and others from elsewhere.
