Peter's on the front page of Spectraflex.com

Our very own Peter Shindler was just featured on the front page of

www.Spectraflex.com in their new "Unplugged" series. Check it out!

Now that the writer's strike is over, Krupa's back to work

Here's a pitch I've been working on for a new reality show:

You get three good looking chicks and three good looking guys who think they're going to date each other, but instead, they get locked in a room and chimps throw their shit at them. And then at the end of the season, they have the cast wrap up party and chimps throw shit at them again. The working title is 'Love Ain't All It's Crapped Up To Be'.

Pass it on, I think it has potential with the reality crowd; I'm going to need royalties, though.

Talking to Walls! Now with 25% more rock!

Talking to Walls! Now with 25% more rock!

Know what rocks harder than Steve Perry's mullet? Well, nothing actually. It's pretty sweet. I mean, look at it:

Know what rocks almost as much as Steve Perry's mullet? Talking to Walls would like to announce the addition of our new guitarist, Nat Webb! After a lengthy audition process, we selected a guitarist that both rocked and had Steve Perry-esque locks of hair. Well, not so much the hair, but the attitude of the hair. The very essence of the sweaty rock-mullet. Check him
out in the bio section.

Check out the new Talking to Walls line up this Saturday, March 1st at Wesleyan University, 200 Church Street, Middletown, CT, 4:30pm. This show will benefit vaginas in some way. "In what way will this benefit vaginas" you ask? Well, I guess you'd better show up and find out.

(Actually, it's a benefit called V-Day with the proceeds going to a local women's shelter...do the math.)

For more on Talking to Walls, mullets and vaginas, check out www.talkingtowalls.com*!

Do it, you'll be glad you did!

*may not contain any material on Steve Perry or vaginas. In fact it probably won't.

feist

there is apparantly no justice in this world.  feist didn't win a single grammy tonight.

well, maybe there is SOME justice.  Herbie Hancock did win best record.  first jazz record in years.  go figure.  i didn't see it coming...

Quick note from TtW HQ

Just a quick break in our radio silence… Talking to Walls is not a politcal-based band, as most of you know. Matt, Peter and I know where we stand, and this email is not an attempt to tell you who to vote for.

With the coming primaries on Tuesday, all we ask is that if you are old enough to vote, and are registered, please do so. If you're not old enough, remind those in your home to do it. And tell them what YOU think.

To register to vote: http://www.rockthevote.com

Having trouble telling the candidates apart? Check out this great link I found that compares them all by issue:

http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/

10 minutes to find the candidate who's RIGHT FOR YOU. It can't get easier than this.

 

See, a painless political email. Thanks for reading.

New Year, New Blog Format

Well, here we are, a new year, and we're moving our news and blog postings
to Blogger.com to make things easier. Hopefully, this will also mean it
will be easier to hear Matt's hilarious take on band life and van troubles.

But first things first. I just handed in a 20 song demo to the rest of the
band as we figure out what the heck we're gonna do next as we try to pull
the proverbial rabbit out of the equally proverbial hat. And working on
some more songs for another round...
