I have no idea what that even means, but our digital distributor just sent us a “Magnet Link” that allows people to “Pre-Save” our new album, “my <3’s still beatin’ but i’m DEAD2U” (albeit, with stupid spelling because apparently i’m not allowed to use “non-standard” spelling or capitalization, or non-Latin characters in album or song titles; so sue me grammar popo!).

Friday night we’re getting fuzzed up at Red Zeppelin Records in McKinney with our friends Jean Caffeine and Thyroids!

It’s Thryoid’s album release, and the tour kickoff for Jean and Thryoids, who are heading to the east coast together on a tour that will see them perform live sets on The Evan “Funk” Davies Show on WFMU (Weds May 14 noon-3 PM Eastern).

Rumor has it that we might just have some advance copies of our new album in hand as well on Friday.

Music starts at 7 PM. Details on the flyer, below.

Big thanks to Medson, host of “Musical Dose” (For Musical Dopes) on WFMU’s Rock N Soul stream for playing “Hand Grenade Princess” on his show on Friday.

Big thanks to Evan “Funk” Davies for playing “the professor fuzz 63 theme” this afternoon on his show on WFMU. Right after our friends St. Divine, even!

True story: EFD led the popular demand that we write a theme song, so this little ditty is partially his fault. ❤

Check out the show here: https://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/151376
St. Divine comes on around the 1:20:26 mark, and we’re up after the mic break around the 1:34:20 mark.

Well, for only the second time in my life, I made it to the venue but did not get to play our planned set. A phone call from our daughter about 15 minutes before we were supposed to go onstage necessitated a very last minute cancellation on our part. She’s ok. Her car is not. Be safe y’all. Don’t drive like idiots. Obey traffic laws. Things could have ended very badly for a lot of people.

Our deepest thanks to John at Dr. Jeckyll’s Beer Lab, and our friends in Red Admirals and VOLK for their understanding and support. Our apologies to anyone who came out to see us. We’ll try to make it up to everyone soon.

“my <3’s still beatin’ but i’m DEAD2U”: ten new tunes about haunting heartbreakers, flavorful felines, protective pups, torpid teachers, edgy incels, thematic themesongs, exalted effigies, fiery femmes, animated attorneys, and organized orcas from howdy arabia’s first family of fuzz, the prof.fuzz 63.

Test pressings for “my <3’s still beatin’ but i’m DEAD2U” have arrived! Once we’ve given them a listen, the final pressing will begin. Stay tuned for an early summer release date.

Last minute substitution time! We’re pinch-hitting at the Kiote Club up in Denison on Saturday night on a groovy punk rock bill with Stupid, Morocco, and Thyroids. Doors at 8. Music at 9. Deets in the flyer (below).

We had a blast at Growl last night with Thoughts on Bowling, HEETER, and Chimney Dream.

Highlight of the night: Four young ladies chatting at the merch table after our set, complimenting the Sleepy Redhead on “her cute little piano,” and asking me “what drugs did you take to come up with your songs?” I replied, “Mad Magazine, Wacky Packages stickers, and Howard the Duck comic books warped me into the person I am today.”

Here’s a clip from the set: “Hand Grenade Princess.” Enjoy!

Oh, and don’t forget to subscribe to our webpage for all the updates that the algo doesn’t want you to see!

In the meantime, come on out to The Cicada in Fort Worth tonight to hear the aforementioned Mr. Niosi with Stem Afternoon, followed by PF63 playing some tunes old and new, The Go-Go Rillas on the countdown to being launched in a top-secret rocket to the intergalactic banana belt, and our pals Crooked Bones rockin’ and twangin’ the night to a close.
