New Release: “Health is the New Drug”

7-inch vinyl available 2/14/12 via New Fortune Records

Health is the New Drug speaks to this time of organic foods, whole grains, and fitness juxtaposed with ever advancing pharmaceutical compounds, quick fixes, and all sorts of gizmos promising flat bellies and toned arms. Make sure you get your health from the right guy. Say man, you wanna score some health?

We just picked up a last minute show at the Mohawk tomorrow, 6/21. A chance to catch us play in Austin on the first day of summer.

The lineup is excellent and has been put together by the awesome Ultra8201 and Adi Anand. (Note: Our feelings go out to The Politics, who had a family emergency which led to us falling into this show. We are honored to play in their place. ) Doors are at 8p and show starts at 9P sharp! $5 cover. VidKidz will be throwing light on us to make your brain cells go crazy!!
