nmk online merch store open

hello my lovlies. so, finally, our store has launched! which is good for me, because previously you either had to come to a show or you had to come to my house to get a shirt. which was awkward. for everybody involved. and what a perfect way to save three dollars! think of all the cool stuff you can do with your extra three dollars...gummi bears...a brushless car wash…the first 25 minutes of a feature film. anyway, please check out the store. we've got big plans for new merchandise items coming soon. and until then you can buy enough shirts to clothe the cast of Rent.

it worked!!!

holy crap! all of your clickety-clickin' worked! we're in round three!
i'm gonna send a bottle of advil out to everyone! and next time i see you, i will hug and kiss your little clicky fingers! (unless some of you used your feet to vote... then, you're out of luck.)
i really don't know what to say. i know every band thinks they have the best fans, but in my case, i really do.
thanks so so much to everyone who helped get us in round three. rest up, and get ready to start voting again! hehe! it never ends! =)

boyzeee

woohoo! we had a superfun show in boise tonight. we got to play with a great band, 'mistress and the misters'. we played with them last time we were in town, and we were very excited to learn that we'd be playing with them again tonight.
it was great to see so many people from last time. and people did their homework! more than half the audience knew my lyrics better than i did! it was a very fun time, and i can't wait to come back. such a supportive town.
oh, and i apologize again to anyone who had to hug my sweaty body. next time i'll hire a stunt hugger.

and thanks so much to everyone who voted to get us in round two of the mtv thing! i just found out about all of this tonight, and i'm so grateful/excited that we were able to get over 5000 votes. i'm not sure how far into the contest we'll make it, but it's great to have such supportive fans. with such itchy clicky mouse fingers.

grape street: take 5

we played our fifth show at grape street in philli last night. it was a lot of fun. lot of familiar faces, lots of new ones. the other day we were on a local philli radio show, preston and steve on wmmr, and the guest after us was jason schwartzman! i got a chance to talk with him for a few minutes. he was really cool.

we have a few days off here in new jersey before our next show in new york. i'm going to try to do some more painting. oh, have you seen the new behind-the-scenes piece on sweeptheleg.com? it rocks! jordan is doing an awesome job putting these together. anyway, check it out and tell me what you think.

bye!

more broken tires

hello my little loveducks.
sorry i havent posted in so long. we've been pretty busy driving all over this great big country.
in fact, we had two tire blowouts recently. fun. we've done a bunch of teevee and radio stuff, and had some really yummy mexican food. i really need to see the new 'resident evil'. my zombie power meter is empty and needs to be refilled.


the blowout


gas station in texas where they told us they were 'out of gas'

i think i get to sleep in tomorrow! woohoo! and i've already found a theatre nearby playing 'resident evil'. so i think tomorrow should be a good day. oh, and 7 more days until radiohead's new cd!!

boise noisy

hello crimefighters.

we just had a superfun show in boise. at the bouquet. we really didn't know what to expect. we'd played here a year ago, and i think we played for something like 7 people at that time. so we had our fingers crossed for at least 12 people for tonight. and to our surprise many more people than 12 showed up. it was so great, and energizing, to see people dancing and singing along!

we were on 100.3 the x, a local boise station, this morning. we did a little acoustic action. we had a great time hanging with big j and nic. we owe most of tonight's turnout to them. they took a chance, adding 'sweep the leg' into rotation on their station (rhyme-zilla up in here), and having us in the studio. we really couldn't have asked for a better show. i'm looking forward to coming back around here in a month or so.

oh, and we played with this great band from spokane, called 'mistress and the misters'. they were so fun! really talented, great sound and excellent energy. and they were really cool guys too. i
wish i got to talk to them a little more. we're going to try to get them to play with us again next time too. (again and too in the same sentence? hmm grammar evaporates after midnight i guess).

tomorrow we set sail for washington. roslyn. where northern exposure was filmed. we played ther almost a year ago too. so it'll be fun to go back.

ok. i'm going to bed. thanks for listening.
