On behalf of Soda & his Million Piece Band, Welcome To Our Website!
We haven't yet worked out the interactive thing where you become a virtual member of the band and have to play lots of old-timey half-broken instruments onstage in front of a bunch of screaming drunk people who dance around and try to hit you with bottles and wads of cash while you play, but there's still plenty to keep you busy. Hunt around and see what you can find -- just make sure you add yourself to our mailing list before you leave! Otherwise how will we be able to contact you in case of emergency? We worry sometimes, you know.
Here's the news:

NEW SHOWS. ALBUM AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD.

BAM.

The band blew clear through their stock of CDs in the middle of the trip to Texas. To make up for it, they've decided to give away the album again - check out the music page to get yourself a digital copy.

Further, a bunch of new fancy shows are coming up, including the Amoeba Home Grown Spotlight at The Mint, and a gig at Pershing Square!

Until the next frantic communication from Texas, dear readers.

Don't Mess With Soda, Texas.

The band is gettin' ready to roll out east into gun rack country after a minor detour to Southgate to play the Allen Theatre. If only they'd play at Cerritos Auto Square, then the circle of my childhood TV commercial memories would be complete.

For those of us in Los Angeles, this means a brief time without our favorite Million Man Noise Machine, but that offers a bit of quiet for reflection. If you were there at the most recent Hotel Cafe show, then you might join me in extending your congratulations to Loomis for surviving an entire night of heckling by Russ. Eventually Russ is going to revolutionize heckling by mixing himself in at the sound board. Watch out, world.

So while you're waiting for the guys to return, instead of sitting around wondering what to do with your money, you should immediately go to CDBaby.com and buy a CD, or four. You know, to help chip in for gas money. Go. Now.
