Movin' Out/Sleeping Pills

First off, my band The Dolo Delinquents (myspace.com/dogeatsdogska) has 3 upcoming shows with bands such as Infested and The SubTimes. The dates are:

October 15th: The Sanctuary (myspace.com/sanctuarylv)
October 30th: Halloween Party Show (Details TBA)
November 12th: The Sanctuary (myspace.com/sanctuarylv)

Should be a good time for all, so come and support. Tix for Oct. 15th and Nov. 12th are $10 in advance and $12 at the doors. All money earned goes towards a charity of sorts (rest assured, it's a good cause).

We're all booking some more shows, so we'll update with more as soon as we are sure about some other dates.

On other news...

I moved out of my home the other day. It's very nice, a lot less stressful and I'm a lot happier. I'm currently looking for a job, but I have an interview at Smoothie King tomorrow. Hopefully that'll go well.

Been sleeping like a baby lately... Mostly because of the stress levels going down, but also partly because of sleeping pills. Perscription sleeping pills. Bad thing is, they leave a nasty hangover in the morning... Oh well, sleep is worth it.

Can you say "exhausted"?

So yesterday was our first Dolo Delinquents practice with our new drummer, Kyle...

It was awesome. He's only 16, but man can that kid play. Way to go Kyle, thanks for becoming a part of our little family.

Aside from that, I've been walking everywhere for that past 3 days. Everywhere. I am tired... My back is covered in sweat from my backpack which is full of water and my little red notebook that I write stuff in. Everything from quotes to little journal passages and lyric ideas for songs. Gotta say, it's very handy.

Been listening to a lot of Big D lately, which is definitely bleeding through in the lyrics of our upcoming EP. I think it's gonna sound fantastic considering I'm playing with some of the most talented people I know. After a long period of time of bad news, having an awesome band practice is a breath of fresh air. Also been booking a couple shows, at least one in October and one in November. I'm stoked to begin playing shows again... Even if the crowd only consists of seven or eight little emo girls for the first couple of shows :-)

So on other news... How about that mosque that's going up? Pretty cool stuff :-) I for one don't really care much about what these folks wanna do with their land. This country, though screwed up as it is, is based upon the idea of freedom... Something that a lot of people have forgotten. I'm not an advocate of organized religion at all, but I am an advocate of personal rights and freedom to choose what to do with your life without governmental policies getting in the way of that. That is, after all, what makes me an anarchist :-)

Be safe, have fun, get off the internet and enjoy this bright and sunny day (well, it's bright and sunny in Vegas anyways)!

Peace,

Scraps

The Dolo Delinquents on Twitter

Again, given into the peer pressure of the internet. My band, The Dolo Delinquints (a project that I sing in myself) is on Twitter. I'll update whenever necessary, or when extreme boredom hits. I'm also going to start using this page as a source for posting my artwork and music. I go down to the art district every first friday of the month to sell my art and play acoustic sets of Dolo Deninquents songs with Alex and/or Drew on guitar and Ben on the ukulele or acoutic bass. We also play a couple cover songs, including some Against Me!, Mischief Brew, and Streetlight. Come check us out, we're across the street from The Box Office.

Oh, and we'll have a hat for you to throw money into if you feel charitable.

Thanks folks

Well, Here We Go...

So I've caved in and decided to get a blog. Pretty lame, but eh, a public place where my thoughts can be expressed seems like a pretty cool idea. I'll update with whatever is on my mind, whether it be social, political, or economic issues, news about my bands, or just something that's been on my mind.
