Benefit Fundraiser for the execution of John Mayer

On Thursday, Oct. 1st, a spectacular consortium of bands meets at Coco 66 (66 Greenpoint Ave, in Greenpoint) to raise awareness and funds for the legal trial of John Mayer, for his crimes against Rock, specifically his profilic output of pop schmaltz, which he generates of defiance of discernable, albeit technical, talent, and the ABILITY to create more interesting music. The penalty sought is death.

Plaintiffs intend to call as experts:

The Missing Teens!
Joe Palumbo of the Better Letters!
Bliminal!
Illimanjaro!
Music starts at 8 and goes all night. Come argue the merits of the case, raise funds and awareness, and hear some great rock!!! Witness the unveiling of a RARE NEVER BEFORE HEARD original J. Mayer composition at the show, as evidence of his crimes. For those with ethical concerns regarding the trial and execution of a successful pop musician, we want to ensure you that the trial will be 100% legal and will be based entirely on the catchy yet completely insipid musical legacy of Mr. Mayer. More details TBA

The Sixth Annual Mishap Prom

Remember your high school prom? Are you ready to forget it?

Come dressed to impress in your most elegant gown or tuxedo, and prepare to be swept off your feet and perhaps out of your clothing by a night of music, art, booze and l'amour.

You're gonna get lucky for sure, dancing and romancing to the sounds of:

Spandex Tiger

the Missing Teens

the R&B Free-Jazz Gospel Supreme 80

the Torn ACLs

& fab prom DJ, Adam Infanticide

This is bound to be an evening you won't soon forget, at least until the morning (the plentiful spiked punch will make you don't remember a damned thing).

Quality art by your classmates, Eric Meltesen, Adam Beebe and others, or at least who you wish had been your classmates instead of the losers who really were.

The young and beautiful will make and break love connections galore, especially with you.

Do not miss the Mishap Prom or prepare to suffer a horrible inferiority complex for months afterwards. This year's theme: "enchanting tropical paradise".

8PM, Friday, August 28th

Gomorrans Record release dance party extravaganza!

THE GOMORRAN SOCIAL AID AND PLEASURE CLUB is having an album release party Friday, August 14th at the Bottom of the Hill (1233 17th St. San Francisco).

Come hear the Right Reverend Ryan Beebe blister the walls of penitence on the banjo and megaphone, "Luke 4:38" Kirley heal the sober on tuba, Scott "Sinner-no-more" Knipplemeir play down the rosary on trombone, Thomas "Aquinetist" Lenhartz get all up in your "summa" on clarinet, and Reid Gotdamn Davis whoop Gabriel's ass on the trumpet. "San Franciscan- Waitsian-New Orleans-Swing-Swagger-and Sweat" at its finest! 

Sharing the stage also be KHI DARAG!, the mini orchestra that plays what has best been described as a macabre psychedelic rock soundtrack to a late 60's Farsi-dubbed Cambodian espionage suspense erotic thriller comedy that was never made. Getting things going will the virtuosic stylings of the cult central valley troubadour BRIAN KENNEY FRESNO, who with his 10-string Warr guitar in hand, is a one man show bringing people raisins & demented tales. Also the Last Night's Fling All-star Burlesque and DJ K-Tel.

Be the first audiophile / hipster weirdo / luddite / vinyl aficionado on your block to get the Gomorrans new LP! Booze it up and dig the sounds.

Mishap Pick of the Week! Fat Tuesday Celebration at the Make-Out Room With The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club

Tuesday February 24th, The Make Out Room, 22nd & Mission, 8:30 PM $10

Zoyres, The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club, Damon & The Heathens

Mardi Gras celebrations all over the world traditionally culminate on Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday (the name Mardi Gras actually means Fat Tuesday as it turns out). From what I understand the idea is to get all your sinning out before Lent when you have to give everything up.

Who better to celebrate this day of decadence with than The Gomorran Social Aid and Pleasure Club? After all, they take the second part of their name from the societies of people who build Mardi Gras floats for New Orleans-groups who call themselves “Social Aid and Pleasure Clubs”, and they know a thing or two about getting the sinning started!

Of course anyone who’s seen the Gomorrans before knows that they’re more then just a great Mardi Gras band. Blending elements of Vaudeville, Motown, freak-out psychedelia and a New Orleans funeral you’ll be kicking yourself all through Lent if you miss their return to San Francisco's Make-Out Room. A generous helping of righteous hokum guaranteed!

Also playing that night, Zoyres Eastern European Wild Ferment will help you get all your sins out the traditional Eastern European way with their unique take on that region's music. And for the heathens in the bunch who just want to drink away there nihilism, there’s the horn-filled soul jazz apocalypse of Damon and Heathens.

A night to remember… or forget if you do it right.

This Valentine's Day, give her the gift that says "Fuck Yeah!"

Hi there :)

Just thought I'd write you a short note to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you at the show the other night. I can't remember when I had a more fantastic time. Everything felt so natural, and you were so easy to talk to. It's hard for me to figure out what it is about you that attracts me so much. I suppose it might be the combination of your great sense of humor, your charming personality and your good looks. 

Or maybe it's the fact that you took me to V-D Day to see my favorite band, the Missing Teens ♥♥♥. It was only $10, at the Annex (152 Orchard btw. Stanton and Rivington in lovely New York City) on February 16th, 10pm, and the other bands were great too. I guess you could call it chemistry, or maybe even fate.

I really hope that our first meeting was not our last because I felt really special when I was with you, listening to the blazing drums of Darren Jones, the insane vocals of James Call, the smooth bass of Dave Tirolo and the wailing leads of Tim Brennan. I truly wish to give our friendship a chance to grow into something special, involving sex. I'm really glad we both got our own complimentary copies of the free Missing Teens Romance Manual, at the show, so we can figure out how to turn what we've got into something ever better :) :) ;D ♥

Well, I guess I've said enough for the time being. Have a wonderful week and, hopefully, I'll see you again real soon. I'll be on themissingteens.com all week long listening to their dreamy music and thinking of u. :) :) ♥♥♥

xoxo
