Go away

Alright scalafags, it's time for a new years throwdown. It'll be at Ole Faithful (Ichabods) Thurs Dec 31st. So get your 2003 asses down there and turn them into 2004 asses with JG. Plus you may have a chance to kiss Talley at midnight....male or female. Anyone. Really.

Go away

Love Affair Records launches Baton Rouge Rocks.com

tonight marks an historic occasion... judge genius goes to new orleans and plays in a reputable bar. believe it or not. we rock NO's famed Tipitina's tonight. we gots a large ass caravan going down and we want you to come with. just call justin or sam or adam. i'd tell you to call paul, talley, and brandon... but they probably won't talk to you. yep. in fact they don't like you.

and more news to pimp. yesterday sam and brandon launched the all newhttp://www.batonrougerocks.comto rave reviews. then we got emails that said that URL don't be working. it's all cool though - go to http://www.familyrobot.addr.comto access the site for a few days. we're having, ahem, issues with our IP but they will be all taken care of in "the next 24 - 72 hours..."(- ADDR.com). 

thats it for now. go suck an egg.

Come get some.

hey fuckers. who wants to square off. i'll beat you with a hammer. i ain't scared of NONE a you sons a bitches.

HelloHELP.

sorry about that there rant. no news to tell you about this week. we took a little break from practice after last weekend's melee. next week we start preperation for another one of our road shows. this time it's N.O.'s own Tipitina's. 12-16-03. it's their homegrown night, and we'll be playing with Delta Crutch and the Method. if you wanna go and behave like wild bastard fools (just like we did last weekend) please get in touch with us. that said, sam is heading for a bachelor party in the french quarter. if you don't hear back from me in a few days... i'm in jail. send lawyers, guns, and money.

Real Talk.

what a weird and wacky weekend. we're fresh home from shreveport, LA... home of Alligator Joe's. First off, i must add that this establishment is quite a fine one indeed. some of the tastiest food, the coldest beer, and a serene view of shreveport's downtown district through massive picture windows. i have to say that its where i would like to go and have a beer, watch a game... what have you. now why this happened, who is to say... but can i tell you that we ran people out of this place like the exodus in egypt. they couldn't wait to get their asses through that door and get the hell away. it was like we were waving guns around, playing death metal or something. either way, that's life.

what we shouldn't have done is berated people as they walked out the door. we should not have called people whores or dickheads from the stage, on the mic. we should have stayed mildly sober for the second set... at 4 in the morning. we could have been a little more accomadating. but there is one thing to remember through all of this. one small thing and here it is: judge genius exists for judge genius. we don't stay together for 4 plus years on accident. we don't write music expecting to ever make it out of this one horse town. we do what we do for us. and we make good music. i know that because people tell us that and they mean it. i know it because i know good music, and the shit that we write is good. it's not the greatest thing ever written. it's no opus; no top 40. we write for ourselves and if you like it then there you go. for every white capped prep that walked out on us, we had some true folk who came up to us after it was over and told us it was good shit. from that show on friday in BR where people stared at us like we were on fire or something to watching people put on thier jackets and scarves in shreve. it's just the way it is, and we understand that.

if any of us really gave a fuck about how we're percieved, we'd be writing straight up limp bizkit radio shit that has no feeling at all, and we'd all be wearing emo clothes, spending thousands and thousands on our image... photo shoots... pretty plastic packaging to really "market the band"... fuck that. we don't do that shit. we write music, and we go places and play it. that's all you get. instead of spending so much time on worrying what we look like and how people see us and what people think, we're writing good shit.

are we rebels? no. we're just a bunch of kids that started playing music. the rock star shit went out the window loooooooooooong ago. but what we still do, in our humble opinions (and we may be biased) is write some of the best original music in baton rouge. we will keep doing this until WE get tired of it. you're invited to come check it out whenever you want to. if you like it, stick around and give us a shout.

thanks to all of you who made the trip on saturday and thank you to poor harvey for taking us up there with you. thanks to all who came out to the spanish moon on friday and thanks to the bands who let us play.

see you at Tipitina's on 12.16 with Delta Crutch and the Method.

peace.

Finally, a quality blogpost

who wants a trailer beating?

Love Affair Records never cared about the ozone layer.

what up doctor dre. here at judge genius dot com, we just would like to say that we care. we care about animals. we care about PETA. we care about you and your pets. we do not, however, give 2 stinky shits about the ozone layer. this moment of psuedo p.c. clarity brought to you by the good folk at ichabod's... who remind you that we'll be by to drop some f bombs and raise some hell on or around 11.21 with our good friends Bimora and Poor Harvey. then when the show is over, drive to the spanish moon and wait there until 11.28 when we will rock like motherfuckers with Octavious and Anomaly. then we're gonna go home and whack our bags.

love,
the clap.

p.s. FUCK!

Failing Spanish

so hollow's eve approachith. that's "evil talk" for holloween be creeping up. we're kinda torn about who or what we will be. we have a few ideas: an aborted fetus, the very assassinated JFK, big fat people... the list is endless. if you have any ideas and would like them posted here on da site, email me at sam@judgegenius.com. till then, come on down to ichaballs this saturday for some seriously crazy shit. we're playing over 20 songs. yeah.

failing spanish,
JG.

Wee.

we'll be at ichaballs this saturday to absolutely fuck you up. also in attendance will be Penetration. make your devil sign and raise it up high! since we have a long time, we're gonna play for a lil longer than usual. a full 1.5 hours to rock the trailer harder than a hurricane. we might get naked too. get ready. get sweat.


so what's new. we've written more songs... that's good news. and tomorrow we're going to the poor harvey show at chelseas, AND the kenmores show at ich's. you should all get down there and support music. we'll see you there.

fuck.

RIP Ray Ours from Anisette

last night, our pal Ray Ours from the band Anisette was killed in a car accident. we had a practice room next to anisette's for a while and we got to know ray pretty good. this is a very, very sad tragedy and our thoughts and prayers go out to Ray, his family, and all of anisette. keep them in your thoughts.

Mikey T saves the day.

How about that? Looks like we pulled a rabbit out of the old hat and pulled us off a show on Friday. Due to dramatics that should be saved for soap operas, we found ourselves in a bit of a pickle. The faults fall on several people who shall forever remain unnamed. But we owe much thanks to the following:

-former judge genius alt. percussionist Mikey Terito for playing his ass off behind the drums. We’re still scratching our heads. How did he do that? The world may never know.

-4 square (aka King Square) for playing a short set and letting us use their equipment. These guys are owed much beer.

-josh from the kenmores, for seeking an 11th hour fix and making it happen.

-the Spanish Moon management for also helping to find a resolution.

And you all for coming out. It wasn’t the prettiest thing we could have done, but in the end it came out pretty fucking well. I’m sorry for everyone that left. 4 square announced we wouldn’t play and there was a literal rush. There were many that got their money back from the door and if you left before we played, please call sam at 281-9108. He will literally drive to your house and give you your five dollars back. We’re playing again on November 21 at Ichabod’s. I promise, no shenanigans… only the rock! Drama not included.

The realization you're an alcoholic. That's funny. Bahahaha - let's drink!

you know, i really want a shirt that reads "LSU FUCKING CLUB". can anyone make that? would LSU be mad? just a thought.

last night, we had some practice and added a few more long-lost faves to the set list. watch for classics "Stone Cold Alibi", "Old Woman", "Sands Through The Hourglass", "Racekit", and "Suck My Mother Fucking Dick". we got a whole lot of other crap that i don't wanna tell you about.

i really wish i was drunk right now. i'm a slave to alcohol. i'm an alcoholic... isn't that funny.

oh man. what a kneeslapper. now really... get me a drink.

Hitting the practice room, putting in work SON!

here it is. THE rock show of the century. THE show you don't want to miss.

yep. we're playing again. it's JG with 4 Square and MADhappy. we've been hitting the practice room like some killa mothafucks and we're ready to rock like NEVER before. i swear it. you will freak out. we're gonna go all fucking nuts. we'll be all over that bar, non stop. we'll start it up and rock solid like some sort of insane little heathen bastards. come see. and you know that madhappy and 4 square are gonna rock to the fucking max too.

we WILL NOT disappoint. guarenteed. if you've never seen us play, now is the time. and we're playing early enough that we won't be all fucked up. a double treat.

see you there.

The Station's Sports Bar's pix looks like big, stupid animals just waiting to fuck.

well fuck. looky here. if it isn't another mutherfucker visiting our website.

this may be wrong of me, but not too long ago a friend pointed me to this website. just scroll through the pictures. i swear... looking at these people is fascinating. just look at them. isn't it great?

they just sort of look like big, stupid animals... just waiting to fuck.

*Editors Note - 2/12/13 - This is probably the funniest damn post on the old Judge Genius website. I miss those days... sniff.

Love Affair heads down to see Clutch and Mastadon @ Howlin' Wolf

ok... all i can say is... wow. in case you didn't go (and a lot of you did because i saw you there) last weekend, clutch and mastadon completely rocked the fuck out of the Howlin' Wolf. fuckin a. i hadn't seen mastadon before, but all i can say is death metal influence + grindcore/groove shit. does that make sense? either way they were the bomb track and totally made my ears hurt. in a good way.

after that, clutch walked onto the stage and opened up with "A Shogun Named Marcus". it was by far one of the best shows i've ever seen. They played shit from every record (except Elephant Riders... much to hilbu's dismay), even closing with "impetus".

then we went out and got fucked up in the quarter. in attendance was Mike Hill, Justin, Adam, Blake, Paul, Talley, Lance, and Sam. Brandon kicked himself for not going upon news of our glorious ordeals.

then we played a less than stellar show on saturday. sorry. we got lots of compliments, but still that was not the best we can do. so we're hitting the practice harder and we're gonna rock the balls off of the Spanish Moon on Sept 26 with the brothers 4 Square. 

get ready. i assure you we are...

sincerely,
the fucks who run JG.com.

JG, Tabu, and Poor Harvey mentioned in the LSU Legacy, and RIP Wesley Willis

nothing new on the home front for this here week. we'll be at the Spanish Moon on Sept. 26 with Four Square. other than that we've been getting back on the record. if any of you motherfuckers get a chance, judge genius is featured in the new issue of LSU's The Legacy, as is our Love Affair mates Tabu and Poor Harvey. check it out. of course, we're trying to steal all the copies to show our moms that we have actually amounted to something.

if you're a new student here at LSU, welcome. we hope to be acting stupid for you during the duration of the next semester or two. we'll probably still be here as you finish up your college career.

in a very sad note, last week an extremely talented musician passed away. i don't know if any of you ever got a chance to see Wesley Willis play, but if you missed out you missed some musical genius. i know he's rocking out in heaven somewhere. Rock Over London, Rock On Chicago... Wesley Willis. One of the greatest rockers EVER! He seriously whupped the donkeys ass to mars.

The intro of Vuur, and more projects that never happened...

although we would have liked to play a little longer, the 30 minutes we got was fun this past weekend. much obliged to all you mofos that came out and supported. we'll be back on Sept. 26 w/ 4 square. Till then, make sure you head out to the Ivanhoe St. Party this weekend for some good local stizzuff.
we have some new projects in the works featuring some members of judge genius, thus proving that Love Affair Productions was only sleeping. like i mentioned last week, brando/blake/getz have some seriously cool shit about to come off the press. they will be featured at Ichabod's Halloween Show, and lest ye forget the Family Robot Seizure Show (with a new cartoon starring the Spastic Action Duo). and plus sam has a new EP about to come on out, though in limited release. featuring songs like "Young Man Driving The Hybrid", "Conrad The Kid Who Came From A Can 2 : Son Of Conrad", and "Rape - O The Dinosaur". so our production group is only regrouping. what the fuck did you expect? There was four bands on our roster and 2 of them broke up. did you think that was the end of us? did you think we were finished? you have no idea. the revolution will not be televised.

Inappropriate Thoughts About the Orbit Gum Woman

we'll be playing a little show down at the spanish moon on august 16th with Translation and Seraphim 9 (from Shreveport). in case you don't know, seraphim 9 is willy macnaughton's band. will is from the old school and he used to stomp around down here in his air force one's. now he's in the air force for real. either way, if you're an old pal come yell at him and us. 

till then, i'll give you a topic: the brittish chick from those incredibly stupid Orbit gum commercials... would you bone her or not?you know, she's the one that says "fabulous" after something unfortunate happens to whomever is chewing this gum, but still responds with a glistening smile. there should be a commercial with me just going to town on her, then me smiling, then her saying "fabulous"... why oh why can't i be in advertising? huh? i'm for hire. i swear it.

sssssssssay girl...

sssssssssssssssssssssssssay girl. ok, so i don't know what you're doing on saturday, August 16 but it BETTER include the following : JG. Translation. Seraphim 9 @ Spanish Moon. Be there or be crippled. so we just got back from Florida and dude, it was rocking like a trailer in a hurricane. in fact you were probably there. so in that case, wasn't it cool? sam ran into the glass sliding door really hard while running away from kelly like a girl and got a black eye. talley got on a kayak and rowed to nearly the end of the earth. adam got... well... adam just got fucked up. hilbu, brandononian, and mini may stayed home and manned the fort. 

special shouts to the good people at guerilla productions for giving this site a lil maint. you can now go to the music page, click on song titles and hear our MP3's. then scroll down and read our lyrics. plus there's some new pictorials up, and more on the way.

we have some shows coming up too:
AUGUST 16 - SPANISH MOON (Translation, Seraphim 9)
SEPT. 26 - SPAN. MOON (4 square)
OCTOBER 18 - ICHABOD'S (your mom)
NOVEMBER 21 - ICHABOD'S (Emily Connor's B-Day

coming soon: new judge genius album. someday. keep faith alive.
coming sooner: new judge genius affiliated projects, like Saturn 5 (brando, blake, and getz) and Sam's EP. keep a lookout.

New Pics

check out our new pics. i'm not sure when these are from. some are from july 4th. some are from before that. 

they sure are nutty. what the fuck is wrong with these people? are they retarded?






*Editors Note, Feb 11, 2003 - I'm not sure where these pics are in reference to, but just for to be more pertinent, just go look at any pictures of us and I'm sure you will still think everyone in them are still equally as retarded.

Tabu's Last Show?

say,
i don't know if any of you cats made it out to friday's Tabu show, but if not... you missed some serious dingle. it was their final performance. so it looks like Love Affair Records has been bitch slapped once more. before i bitch about that, i would just like to say that TABU was one of the pioneers of the current BR scene and they deserved a better send off. i hope it will not be their last gasp because i was out of town and i wanted at least one more damn show. they have a cd about to come out, and when it does... those who never got a chance to hear them should pick it up. then you can get a small taste of what you might have missed. RIP TABU - 1997 to 2003.

Love Affair Records is still here with Judge Genius and Poor Harvey. we got some new stuff from both bands about to hit and we got some stuff from the late Tabu and Nail in the Brain about to surface. come get your fill. watch for some updates. JG will be back soon...

love your mothers. like we do.

Us Against Them canceled. It wasn't us. It was them.

hey, ok. now i'm a huge liar. the show this friday has been cancelled. we were supposed to play with Us Against Them. but apparently Them had to cancel the show, so Us nor Them will be playing. but keep in mind. it wasn't Us. it was Them. by Them, i mean Us Against Them, not Us.

confused? no?

eat me. we're recording some more crap tonight. finally vocals. tonight we'll be almost finished with 1 - 6. and also, we've get a GREAT new video thanks to the very talented director Chris Comeaux. it's Redneck Kumate', captured only in the way Comeaux could get it. look for it soon.

and bite it.

Lies.

ok, we lied. lied about the shreveport show. but someday... somehow... we will rock our sister city to the north. til then, we'll be rocking our non sister city to the south, SLIDELL. (or as they say there, sly - DULL... or as JG says it, slidle... say it real fast like as close to one syllable as you can. then you're a true gangsta mofo.) down at the Old Town Pub with Us Against Them. we go at 10:30. that's all i know, dammit. now back the fuck up off me.

we're playing BR in August too. August 16 with Seraphim 9. place TBA.

fuck.shit.ass.bitch.judge.genius.

Hey, gimme a break. I'm not fuckin' Pavarotti.

word to you g's out across the land. enjoyed last weekend's "double-set"? the first show went well and we want to thank those who are new to the family and came to see their first JG show. hopefully it won't be your last. cuz that way you won't die. shouts to Maven and the Bullz. shouts to the johnny sea mammallian's as well. if you liked it, come see us again. i wanna thank eric b. from sticky ichy's for helping out on vocal duties. sam's voice was kinda wasted after 2 shows. when asked for a comment about this, sam had this to say:

"uh... i'm not fuckin' Pavaroti. get away from me.... HEY! THAT'S MY FUCKING WALLET!!!"

in other news, JG heads north to battle Shreveport. July 26 with our pals Serephim 9 at the Taylor Town Tavern. be there or (as Jason Jeffirs would say) - SUCK IT!.

The Band You've Grown To... Tolerate

shit,
how has everyone been doing these last few weeks? i take it you're all good. well, it's time to gear up for the holiday weekend and we're gonna set it all off right. judge genius, the band you've grown to.... um... tolerate, is playing 2 fucking shows on friday night. the first will be an all ages show - a format not exactly new to the members of judge genius, but days far too distant to seem familiar. we'll be playing at the Denham Springs American Legion Hall. yes. you heard me. (or, ahem, read me). we'll be there with MAVEN and the CRETIN BULL DANCERS. it's a johnny seamammal (tm) production. don't ask. just click on his website below for directions and info.
the second show will be over at your eternal fave... Ichabod's with AHAB! and the ballistic missile. its in celebration of a most important event: Eric Broussard's Birthday. he's gonna be loaded and has been known to give out (and take in) massive amounts of alcohol on this occasion. his record last year was a grand total of 28 shots. do him a favor. NO ONE leave this man unattended at any point this evening. he's not an SAE pledge for God's sake.

till we see you fools, keep it real.
JG

2 shows. 1 day.

coming July the 4, we'll be playing 2 shows in one friggin' night. we'll be at the American Legion Hall in Denham early on with Maven and the Cretin Bull Dancers, followed by a show at Ich's with AHAB! and the Ballistic Missile. It's Eric's B-day, so hell raising is assured. 

be there.

JG announces some track names on the new record!

i'm gonna give out a little secret. we've tentatively named the new songs we're recording. you all know them as "new songs 1 through 10". for example, at a JG show you'd hear sam say, "this next song is called new song #3". well NO MORE, baby! they have more proper tentative names. so without further ado:
New Song #1 = Cover Bands Will Burn In Hell
New Song #2 = La Violencia
New Song #3 = Exploder
New Song #4 = Soapy. Papoose.
New Song #5 = If Paul May Was A Trucker...
New Song #6 = Get A Dog And A Gun
New Song #7 = Moustache
New Song #8 = Let's put The "E" in EAT.
New Song #9 = Spawn of the Hellbeast
New Song #10 = I'll Kill

as far as what you'll recongnize at our shows, we play 1 through 5 regularly. #6 made it's live debut last week. #7, 8, 9, and 10 are still in the practice room but 8 and 9 do get on our setlists (or lack thereof) from time to time. we've started on drumtracks so i hope all you little geniuses are getting excited. new album. possibly before the end of the year.

Honchie WAS great.

so bitches. how did you like that kumate' on friday? honchie was great and they'll be back on their next go round. the sound was phenomonal for this show and we got several, several compliments. shouts to the sound folk. check out our pictures section for pictures from halloween in case you haven't seen them. again. and again.

see you on july the 4.

JG.com webchanges - and what exactly did Talley say to Pepper Keenan?

some website changes.

you may see some new things on our site. we now have bios (thanks to mr. jeff brumfield). yes. they are all so very true. also if you haven't seen, we have a new history. its underneath the old history so scroll down. as far as show news - we're gonna be at ichabod's with HONCHIE out of dallas, on 6/13. come see this, kids. if you have not heard honchie then you totally need to. you may have heard them on KLSU with "Monkey and a Midget", etc. it's gonna be grrrrrrreat! then we'll be at the American Legion Hall for an all ages on 4/04. word. aaaaaaaaaaaaand we'll be pulling double duty. eric's b day is later that night at ichabod's. and my mofo's - we will definitely have some shit for that.

on another note, whoever missed this last saturday night in N.O. is at a loss. we got to see the Melvins and Tomahawk at the HOB, and the Supersuckers at the Shim Sham. it was inCREDIBLE! we've got stories (for example, ask us what exactly Mike Talley said to Pepper Keenan...) and i WISH we had pictures. ask us what happened. you'll laugh your ass off.

JG Announces the Red Neck Kumate'

THE UPDATE.

first things first, shouts to all of you who came to the show last night at the Renaissance in Lafayette. maybe we made some new fans. maybe we made some new enemies. either way, we'll be back so if you want to see us again, or maybe you want to kick our asses... watch for the fliers. either way, to kick our asses you have to pay cover so HA HA!!! booya. um...yeah. AHAB! and ballistic Missile rocked out as well. if you haven't seen these bands, you be missin out, yo. both will in BR soon. can't wait to hear "i hate you" and "time to roll out" again. 

this weekend, the JG gets old school. we'll be at a foam party (yeah... a FOAM party...) this saturday at the old Chi-Chi's of Florida. we play at 8:30 (most unusual). the show is all ages so hopefully none of us will go to jail. hee hee.. but this gives the high school peeps a chance to see mid 20 something people act like fucking idiots. we do intend to rock the bells though, so get ready. we're definately giving the rest of the show some competition.

in other news, we're starting on the new disc soon. if you haven't bought our LP "Dammit!" yet, you need to because we like to sell things. you may be wondering, "hey. i bought this motherfucking cd, and last night they didn't play but 3 or 4 songs off of it...". sorry, hoss. you need to get with it. we phase some songs out of our short set as we write new ones(we got 10+ that will be on the next record), but you'll still get to hear them in our longer sets.

coming soon: JG + Honchie (from Dallas) @ Ichabod's 6/13. and also coming soon, THE Red Neck Kumate' - a show based on our fundamentals. a complete A/V experience that you will NEVER forget. i hope you're all ready...

Man, I say "Rock The Casbah" a lot

some more shows to tell you about: we'll be of course at the spanish moon on May 17 for a Love affair records throwdown. this will be a special show because most unfortunately it will be the last Nail In The Brain for a loooooooooooooong time. also, i'm sorry about all the confusion for anyone who thought we might be playing last saturday there and went to see the show looking for JG. from what i hear there were quite a few. a certain band (who will remain nameless) asked us to play that show over a MONTH ago and we said we couldn't do it. we even told them twice. they decided not to tell the S.M. and they promoted it anyway. again, sorry for the confusion. some folks just can't get it right. ALWAYS check this website for the true shit.

the other big news is that we'll be at the Renaissance in Lafayette on May 21 with AHAB! and the ballistic missile. we play around 10ish so don't miss out. also, we start recording in a few weeks to a few months and there's talk the new JG could be released before the end of the year. i'm psyched. this record will rock the casbah. start getting ready, you hear?

shit,
JG

That old "Racekit" video - Yall still waiting on that...

nothing new here at home base. we're about to put some new pics on the page, lots of them.. from new shows, etc. all the way back to early JG. we're gonna put some shit up from when mike t. was in the band and if we can, from even before that. also, did you know judge genius made a video? would you like to see it? yes yes... it's true. as much as we'd like to shelter you from this horrifying sight, we cannot run from our past. its a video from "racekit", as recorded on a 2 song demo and shot around 1999. scary shit yo. look for it soon on judgegenius.com.

in new shows news - LOVE AFFAIR RECORDS. MAY 17, 2003. SPANISH MOON.

Herpes?!

word to all you crazy cats who showed up last night. that was some fun shit. we'll always be happy to turn any mofo out on any given basis. also, thanks to you all for coming. it's hard to bring a crowd for the opener but all of you somehow pulled it off. thanks for all the shots. we were loaded.
i think we're on a slight hiatus til may 17 (due to various weddings, work weekends in NO, playing with our other bands) so we hope you all turn up your ghetto blasters with a JG cd inside. speaking of, we just got some more in. if you'd like one just shoot me an email. we also have some stickers. and some herpes.....wait....

Don't Miss The "Someone Hold My Arms Down While Another Guy Hits Me In The Face Several Times And Busts My Lip Open" Rock Show.

this wednesday at the caterie, JG and soundview. come see the rock. we've dubbed this show the "Someone hold my arms down while another guy hits me in the face several times and busts my lip open..." rock show. how about that there? anywho, we're gonna rock the casbah. come bounce with us.

We'll Hook You up With A Realy Ugly Chick...

ok, its on. JG, ballistic missile, and AHAB! thursday. be there, or suck. also, we send out emails announcing shows and what not. if you'd like to be part of this service, email me at sam@judgegenius.com and we'll hook you up this really ugly chick who puts out. nah, not really. we will send you annoying emails though. 

see you thursday.

The last NITB show?

word. just got wind that the show thursday in hammond has been cancelled due to a booking issue. don't ask me why, ok. DON'T!!! but with this issue resolved, who went to see AHAB! and NITB this past weekend? if you missed it, it was one hell of a show. i hear that its possible we may open up for AHAB! this thursday at (i'll give you one guess...) ichabod's in lieu of the augustine's show. also, you could have missed what could have been the very last Nail In The Brain show. i hope they can get all their problems taken care of and soon. regardless, check your favorite little website here for more news. do you understand me? good.

Wait - Did that Augustine's Show Happen?

playing for 1.5 hours is fun. we're gonna have to do that more often. thanks to you all for coming out. we turned the caterie out pretty damned good for a friggin' tuesday. plus we had fun. plus we had hoes. ok, not really. 

we'll be back up in that mofo on Apr 23. till then, come get some rock outta-town style with us over at Augustine's (Hammond) on Apr 17 with the always insane Cretin Bull Dancers. Juan and company are gonna show peeps whassup, and we're gonna help out. come and see us. come and feel the noize.

and come show us your boobs.

yeah.

Let's Salute Our Nation's Old And Weak Today

dear motherfuckers,
boy, what a way to start off a letter. i'm gonna have to do that more often. tuesday night we will rock the caterie with one of our fellow BR bands - Soundview. and we're guaranteed to rock. come and find out if you don't believe me. i usually don't make guarantees, but this is different. last time we played there, we were piss drunk at 3 in the afternoon. we each did 3 shots onstage (almost back to back) not to mention the shit we drank before that. it was radically fun. i fell down onstage during the Tabu set, then went outside the front door, sat down against the wall, and passed out. what did those poor caterie patrons think as they came through the door?
however, this time we have to do it with less drink (since we have to work the next day). we can still rock semi-sober and we invite you to come and see. we're pulling out some olde schule (17th century Brittish origin) songs that we haven't played in a hellishly long time, as well as some brand new shit. you'll have fun. there will be sing-a-longs and hand holding.

face it, kids. we're getting older. hurry up and catch us rocking onstage. before too long we'll be in rocking.... chairs. ha. ha ha ha. HA HA HA HA HA HA heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

HA!
peace to everyone over 40 who checks judgegenius.com. the rest of you just get a nod. let's salute our nation's old and weak today.

Looking Back, I don't think that Augustine's show happened...

ok, here we go. 
Tues. April 1. - the Caterie w/ Soundview. 
Wednesday April 17. - Augustines with Cretin Bull Dancers. 
Wed April 23. - Caterie again, w/ Soundview. 
May something - Spanish Moon.

there. happy?

p.s. Aimee Didier lives in Florida. Just sending her a shout out.

Hi Aimee! We miss you here in the States. oh... wait, FL is a state too.

Ichabod's Is The Best

news.

thanks to all who came out on friday. fun was had by some. hopefully you're included in that group. i know we were. for anyone who doesn't know, ichabod's is a total kick ass bar. not that the other bars in BR are bad or anything... Ichabod's just sticks their necks out for the average band. i personally don't know anyone who has had a bad time playing there. even if you play on a tuesday night to the smaller crowd, or you play on saturday nights to the larger, it's always a party. nonstop. remember that.

ok, enough ass kissing. we got some shit in the works, kiddies. we'll be at the Caterie soon (though i don't remember the exact date) so look for that. we have a show coming up at the Spanish Moon not too far off. we have a few shows out of town in the works.

topic: man's inhumanity to man. discuss it. talk amongst yourselves.

Touch A Goat, Get Suckered. No Emotion.

hey everyone. sam died in a tragic ball of flames.

ok, not really. but did i scare you? i was just informed by my pal Mike from 3 Ring Circus (giving you a shout, g..) that people may think i'm dead. i'm here to tell you that it's not true. no sam death. not today. but boy was i scared.

in recongnition of my non-death, come see us tonight at Ichy's with our pals from L.A. Records. You don't wanna miss it. We're gonna have all kinds of crap for sale. Not to mention, soon we'll have the "Love Affair Records LIVE at the Varsity" DVD coming out. i'm serious. People like US have DVD's now. wild shit. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAND i just emailed a shitload of lyrics to our friends at guerrilla productions, the best web designing friends a band can have. soon you can see all the utter nonsense that we mouth from time to time.

so there's your plans. Love Affair. Tonight. Ichabod's on Chimes St. and while your at it, sign your name up for the email updates JG style. look for the MASSIVE Love Affair table on the back patio.

then touch a goat. get suckered. no emotion.

The Ass Beast Tour Wraps

hi. my name is sam. tomorrow i'm getting on an airplane. i am deathly afraid of airplanes, so if there is no news updates on this site next week, it means i probably died in a tragic ball of flames. i'm sorry. but i hope the next webmaster is better than i was.

but on to more imptrtant things than death: JUDGE GENIUS. We have booked a few more dates, though these dates will not be considered part of the ASSBEAST tour. The ASSBEAST tour will still conclude on March 21 at Ichabod's, as we will be playing with our label mates at an official Love Affair show, brought to you by the good folk at Ichabod's. then we're off for a month, returning to you bastards and bastettes on April 26 at the LSU Greek Amphitheatre. This is part of the Outhouse Music Fest. Check back often for more updates. 

After all that is said and done, we come back to you all on May 17 at the Spanish Moon. This is another Love Affair show, brought to you by the good folk at Camel. Then we're off until June something. We'll be making a lot more changes to our schedule soon, so check your loving website every day. drool over our pictures.

LOVE AFFAIR RECORDS. We're men. Real mean. And we like naked chicks.
