I love that picture.

Me too. It is a Classic Twitch moment.

Twitch, you are quite possibly the best flyer-making promotion maker i have ever seen......and i have to admit......the picture is classic

You're very kind.

Good raw material is key - the ideas I get all start there.

Major kudos to Justine for taking such an awesomely bizarre photo.

Well if you hadn't come with me to the show, we wouldn't even have the picture. So thank you for being so rad and coming with me.

Also, photography is my thing, no matter how trivial/silly a picture it is.

Has anyone noticed that all of the band booked for that show begin with the word "The"

wierd?....you make the call

The best flyers i've ever seen done were by Dan Danger

This is no knock on Twitch's work. I just really like this guys artwork.

Caught Thuh Know How a few years ago in ohio, wasnt too impressed but I betcha they've gotten a lot better. it was mostly their style of ska that I didn't like, but they were fun to watch and decent musicians. Have they changed much stylisticly the past few years?

They've gone through a few personnel changes - Skyler, Alex and Finch have been constant, but the other slots have gone through a few switches. Remains to be seen how the departure of Bryan on drums will affect the band.

Check out their myspace profile - the first two songs are from Now in Technicolor, released March 2005. Their selections show the contrast between Technicolor and Happy Fun Robot Kill Time. I like the latter album, but I'm happy that they're evolving as a band. Skyler says they're really proud of Technicolor, with just cause, I'd say. Their sound is more aggressive now - the rock influence is stronger, although the ska beat goes on.

One review of Technicolor said that they'd be huge if they'd just ditch the ska elements. Thankfully, they haven't taken that advice.

Thanks for the link buddy.
Cool band, still doesn't quite suit me stylisticly but they'd sure be fun to see. I'll giv'um this, they definately have established a sound of thier own whereas many ska-rock/ punk groups aren't so memorable.
yuh know, I could imagine them with less horns, more keyboards, and more of a rock sound. Later>

No offense taken - I wish I could produce original material of that quality. I just cut and paste like nobody's business

It is what I do. The easier it is to check the sound out, the better. It's cool if you don't dig it, but at least you took the opportunity.

Their singer has a distinct voice, at first I didn't like it but it grew on me. Anyway, like em or not we should support them now especially, times are tough for bands like that because of gas. Touring bands ain't gunnuh come around no more if they don't see many faces at the shows.

you're flyers are quite amusing though

sorry i couldn't stick around Dan's house when you dropped by, I had to work....
