From the wires

Businesswire May 7 2009:


A minor bidding war erupted upon a recent news leak that Marc Hanson (Guitar player, Supersofar) is rumored to potentially rehearse with THV (Tommy Had A Vision). Both camps have been quiet about the rumors, but sources close to the bands said there have been ongoing negotiations. One anonymous source states, "Supersofar has been in talks with Marc, explaining they have done pretty well without him for the past several years, however, they have offered him an extra 15 minutes of exercise near the koi pond and a double stack* from the Wendy's dollar menu." To which an anonymous source from the Tommy camp countered, "we've been able to sweeten the deal with the use of a hot pink Les Paul copy and the promise of an abundant supply of 80s' rocker chicks with fishnet stockings and those little black boots that Marc loves so much."

A spokesman for Marc insists that his allegiences lie firmly with Supersofar adding, "there ain't nuthin wrong with getting a little raw dawg on the side. You know what I'm sayin? Plus, Tommy assures Marc that there will be no scheduling conflicts whatsoever." To which Bob (drummer/engineer/tinfoil hat wearer, Supersofar), speaking from an undisclosed underground facility somewhere in the west desert, replied "Yeah right... I've heard that before!"

*Upon release of this news. Sources say Marc is rumored to be holding out for some Arctic Circle yukon gold fries and small chocolate banana shake.

Show recap.

Had a blast playing for you folks at Liquid Joes last Friday with Osiris and The Street. However, it must be stated that the "Liquid" in Liquid Joes has nothing to do with assets - a more appropriate name, "Doingyoutotallydrywithoutsomuchasakissorphonecallthenextmorning Joes". We were all unaware that, besides cutting the ticket count in half, apparently it's the band's job to pay for the bouncers, and by the looks of the bouncers, they don't appear to be going hungry. That aside, it was a fantastic show with the best crowd a band can wish for! Osiris played a rocking set of chunky melodic rock and their new drummer did a fabulous job (plus, he looks like a young Ty Tabor of King's X). The Street, as if they just cracked open the Ark of the covenant, melted every one's face at the end of the night. Love those guys to death!

Some of the highlights of our set were:

1. Me and Dave showing the proper use of floor monitors by using them to do Captain Morgan poses whilst rocking out.

2. Filming live footage for our next video. It's going to be pretty much just the band performing live, however, I'm going to try and push to include a homeless single mother in there somewhere, because it worked so well on the "Thursday" video (Thanks again Rinda! You rule).

3. Playing a couple of new tunes. The first song called "Til I found out" - It's about how you think you know someone, then more and more, the true colors start to emerge and you're quite disappointed (see first paragraph about Liquid Joes). The second tune I believe is called "Crazy" and I think it might be about a crazy person. It's a cool fast little tune that leaves Bob exhausted at the end of it, but the band won't let him rest, because we want to stay up for the next couple of hours and talk about our feelings.

That's all for now. Thanks for all the support!

Marc
