the shag carpet feels good on the toes, missy.













the standard (downtown LA)...

last time we played there a ton
of u.s .marines came through the
lobby in uniform with dates in
formal get-up. those sofas aren't
really that pink though.

like being on tour but never leaving town

hi kids.

we play on wednesday.
then on friday.
then again on tuesday.
then on friday.
then also the next wednesday.
then we play the day after that which is thursday.

we just shot a video for joe d which will probably be cool.
also there's our narnack records debut album coming out in march or april.
we are selling limited edition 7" white vinyl with those club bangers that you like on them.

we are making ddd's with stuff on them for you to buy for a pittance.
they are better than dvd's but not as good as blu-rays.
they will be limited too because it's not like we're made of money, son.
we're like 94% water i hear.

also we're still trying to get earrings made for the womenfolk.
we love you all you womenfolk we're just really busy with our upper management investment banking jobs
and popping bottles with models.
t-shirts, yaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrsssk...

okay come share in the magic at one or all of the upcoming engagements.
you might be injured but you'll be glad you were.
brawndo has what plants crave.
it's got electrolytes.

your amigos,
RESTAVRANT
(that's a U in Romans.)

smooth on the vinyl like lionel


hey, crackheads -
we're pressing some vinyl this week and will release singles in a four-part series. isn't it just incredible when you've had some silly crush on a girl that you think you have to have, but you don't really know anything about cause you've only met once and then you meet another girl and you're like, oh, this is what i was searching for all along and then it makes you forget about everybody else and then you have to figure out how to make her know that you exist and you can't even look at her directly because you start to sweat well maybe it ain't that bad but kinda like that at least you can't quite step up because she's magic and she plays like 17 instruments and sings like a cherub in your favorite band that you've been following for years and didn't know she played in until she stepped on stage and took a piece of your heart? (thanks for the line, black thought of the legendary roots crew). i mean, isn't that crazy? bonzai.

tha french nu wave

some of ya's may recall there being some inner band debate re: the subject of cinema on our myspace blog. well i had every intention of keeping said debate alive and fresh and then the blogs got deleted along with the genius meanderings of the two-headed beast known as restavrant, formerly restaurant. okay, not formerly, just maybe formerly. we were thinking about changing the name to restavrant, but when you ask the avg citizen they go, 'what the hell's a restavrant?' and then, right then and there, you have to make a decision as to whether or not you're going to throw your cell phone at them really hard. i hate that moment, so it may not be worth it to replace the 'u' with a 'v' just because we think it's cool and it has some kind of ancient rome connotation. anyway, listen: go rent robert bresson's 'pickpocket' and watch all the supplemental material. i think it actually preceded what is considered the new wave as popularized by truffaut and godard and those cats, but the seeds were planted and it's cotdamn genius. yes, i know nobody is reading this and yes i know that people don't like to be told what to do. but if just one pool-cuber gets the message then my job is done and i can retire to the sud of france with my girl, atlanta, and be done with trying to rescue your puppy dog heart.

guidance, state
