Coming out of hibernation

choklit — Tue, 18 Mar 2008 07:23:14 GMT

Just escaped from the laboratory...

Baby Seal Club is busting out of winter hibernation with retooled flipper force. New songs, freshly packed grooves and tasty crisp drumming courtesy of Goat Whore, the latest seal in the pod.

Come clubbin’ again this spring and usher in our spankin’ hot, newborn sound - upcoming performance dates to follow.

Mutation can be so beautiful...

Save Net Radio - The Internet Radio Equality Act NEEDS YOU!

stache — Wed, 11 Jul 2007 18:03:55 GMT

CALLING ALL INDEPENDENT MUSIC COMRADES!

The *dead*line for internet music broadcasters is upon us. July 15th is the date that all internet radio broadcasters are obliged to pay royalties that far exceed their annual budgets. Many outlets are going to shut down with their owners steeped in debt (the payments are retroactive to June 2006).

THIS IS SURELY THE END OF INTERESTING AND INDEPENDENT MUSIC AS WE HAVE COME TO LOVE FROM THE NET

To rub salt in the wound of a true money-grab by music execs, their lobbyists, and lawmakers alike, the new anti-music and anti-music-lover laws contain hidden demands that includes forfeiting the right to lobby Congress for support of the Internet Radio Equality Act.

As Celia Hirschman, champion of good music for all at KCRW, says, "Every American has the right to petition Congress." See the PDF press release that outlines some of the many egregious penalties the new laws entail:

CALL YOUR SENATORS

The time is now to call your senators and make your voice heard. It's simple: visit this page, enter your zip code, call the number(s) and leave a message using the included talking points:

GOODBYE SWEET TUNES, HELLO COMMERCIAL DRECK

Or would you rather listen as only the biggest national commercial programmers like Clear Channel can afford to stream the dullest pop hits? Just listen to broadcast radio on the air now to hear what we have to look forward to on the net.

Seriously, the new laws even force unsigned independent musicians to sign up to receive royalties, meaning that broadcasters must pay high rates for even music that artists intended to be freely available.

C'MON...

Let's keep the good music alive on the web. Call your senators today!

First Annual Bacchus for Barkkus Sonoma County SPCA Benefit

stache — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 03:03:17 GMT

A butt-sniffin', leg-liftin', crotch-lickin' good dog time was had by all at the First Annual Bacchus for Barkkus Sonoma County SPCA Benefit at the Starlight Wine Bar in Sebastopol on Saturday, February 17, 2007.

The beast-ivities were enhanced by a visit from some friends on the Roshambus, mobile home of Roshambo Winery, who offered wine tasting for nervous pets.

Gourmet food, a doggie cake walk, costume contest, raffle and two fin-flapping sets by Baby Seal Club rounded off the party on a glorious brought-to-you-by-your-friends-at-global-warming sunny winter’s day and Milk Bone-chilling night.

See the phurries in the Photos section for all the phleas and phun!

Comptche Area Revellers Made Higher by Baby Seal Club (BSC)

stache — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 20:09:19 GMT

Friday night's live gig (Oct. 28) at the Flynn Creek Circus (FCC) Halloween party in Comptche (Mendocino County) was a major shindig! Thanks to Mike and Sean for putting on the best party in years up north!

We played a headlining slot after two other fine bands. The Flynn Creek Circus, paired down to Blaze and Davey Jones on single trapeze, Tony as the MC and a couple dancers (I was unable to see from our stage) awed the crowd with fetching circus shenanigans and daredevil feats of strength and tandem skillz high above our heads.

BSC and FCC complimented each other by taking turns: We played a few, they performed, we played a few more, they changed into new colorful trapeze costumes and performed more, and so on.

Word in the crowd was we sounded great, with a healthy dance beat to lay down the hip shakin' law!

The rest of the evening was a hazy blur of clouds of what Mendocino is best know for and universal drunkenness abounding in every side yard and orchard, beside antique barns, along cow pasture fences, and inside the old farm house. Free drinks were available to performers and there was no lack of good keg beer for this stand-up drummer (thanks to the party chaps with compliments about my Cocktail kit)!

Extra special thanks to my mates for the ever-lastin' fun times! Otter-ettes, though we missed you, you were off the hook as we did not get around to the Otter Dance... Next time!

I'm feeling somewhat privileged here...

Flecka — Mon, 30 Oct 2006 18:55:17 GMT

I get to be the first post?! Whoa, the pressure...

Hello all :) I met Choklit on the Burning Man Women tribe. We got to chit-chatting about music and she mentioned this band of hers. I checked out the website and was pleasantly surprised! I just wish I had been there too see you on the Pirate Ship at BM, that would have been fun...

So! Now you must come to Chico to play!! No seriously, we have a great scene here if you even wanna take a little road trip *lol* Otherwise I just may have to come down there to see ya, which could actually happen so keep me posted on shows ;)
