January 2010......... Upcoming Shows for the New Year
Wednesday, January 27 @ the Comet in Seattle, Washington
Friday, January 22 @ WHAAM in Bellingham, Washington
No new CD yet. But it's coming soon ... well, soonish.
Another West Coast Tour is officially in the planning stages. Any requests?
December 2009 ........................ Live Interview on Bike Talk
Check out the Pasties live interview with Joe on KPFK's Bike Talk. Listen Live in Los Angeles, or on the web: http://www.kpfk.org/
CD is still in the mixing phase. Gee, putting out an album sure takes awhile. I guess that's why we haven't done it in a while.
Happy Hooplah!
November 2009 ......................... Seedy
Got some tracks back from BaconWorks. "Changes" is sounding pretty Pasties classic. "I Shot Up The Sky" us blowing us away. The new album is sounding awesome.
Also congrats to Jeff on becoming the first Pasties Papa!
September 2009......................... Autumn Artswalk & Other Oly Shows
Finally all of our tracks for our CD have been recorded and are now in the hands of the mix master Bacon Works. Here's our two upcoming Olympia shows:
Sept. 29 : Le Voyeur (404 4th Ave E) with Private Dancer and Mirror Mirror
Oct. 2 : The New Tree Mural (State Ave & Capitol Way) for Artswalk. Check out Olympia newest awesomest public art.
Oct. 17 : TBA with Al Scorch
We'll be in Bellingham for Halloween playing at the Boundary Bay Brewery!
August 2009 ............ Good Bye Old Friend & Seattle Here We Come
This month we play with the Hail Seizures for the last time. They are going on haitus while Ely is in grad school in Germany.
Also, we have two gigs in Seattle coming up:
Aug 23rd : Cal Anderson Park (1635 11th Ave) at the 4th Annual Bike-In At Cal Anderson Park with The Terrordactyls and Mess Kit. Stay for the movie at dusk: Jour de Fete.
Aug 25th : The Comet (922 E Pike St)with THE WEBELOS, ORIGAMI GHOSTS, THE SUPER CUTES.
July 2009 ......................... Oh, Canada
On Saturday the 25th of July we'll be playing outside of Nelson Canada in B.C. at LITTLE FEST!!! The Alternative Mountain Music Festival. We are very pumped for this show because it will be somewhat of a reunion after everyone gets back from their out-of-town business. Here's the lineup: United Steelworkers of Montreal, Fish & Bird, Widow Maker, Frazey Ford, Trish Klein & Ora Cogan, Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, The Pasties, The Cave Singers, Kenny Konrad & Old Blind Crow, Baker Street Buskers. We play at 6:30pm.
When we return to the U.S. of A., we've got a lot of local shows getting lined up, so stay tuned.
May 2009 ........................................ And, Take Two
Our second attempt to record a new album has been successful! We layed in the base tracks: drums, bass, guitar and other guitar, as well as some syruppy sweet trumpet lines, some mando tracks. Vocals are scheduled for next week.... Now we just need a good album title, artwork, mixing, mastering, backup vocals, a few overdubs, some hand claps, and about a million other things that go into recording and pressing a CD. This process seems to take forever, so don't hold your breath. We think it might be ready in the Fall 2009.
And be sure to check out these Pasties side projects on tour in early summer:
Socks And Sandals (Kevin)
Razz M'Tazz (Meg & Guire)
The Blackberry Bushes (Joe & Kendl)
January 2009 ..............................Happy New Year
We're not going on tour this spring, but our New Year's Resolution is record a bitchin album before our Fall tour. Stay safe.

MARCH 2007 ........................ Back From Tour + Welcome Back Show
We are happy to report that our tour was freaking amazing. None of us can pinpoint one show as being our favorite. Thanx to everyone who made our trip very enjoyable. Along the way we picked up a new mandolin player named Kevin, who we all miss, because he didn't make it back home with us. When you see him rock at the March 30th show try and convince him to stay in Olympia. It's only right.
Also, we will be having a live DVD shoot on Friday March 30 at Studio 321 with Scream Club and Mub Fractal. Costumes are encouraged. Welcome us back and dance with us on this very special evening. We are all glad to get back to all our friends.
love
the pasties

February 2007 ........................... We're off to see the wizard
Here we are, less than 3 days away from leaving. Everyone at the Pasties camp is getting super excited about leaving to rock the country's socks off. Yeah, that's right, we are getting excited about piling 7 of us and a dog in van for the next 30 days. Sounds like an episode of Survivor. The tour has shaped up pretty nicely. And to top things off, we get our new album today. It is a split with The Hail Seizures and is called "Punk as Folk" with 6 songs from each band. If you need some show info, you can always reach us at pastiesmusic@yahoo.com . See you you on the road.

November 2006 .............................. Pasties support anarchists
So, have you heard about those Olympia anarchists who were arrested in seattle while protesting the war? Well, they weren't doing anything wrong except dissenting, which seems to be quickly becoming a crime in this country. Anyway, The Pasties are trying to help them secure legal funds. We're donating live tracks that we recorded at the Artesian Well during ArtsWalk for a benefit CD compilation. Some live tracks from the Hail Seizures are also on the CD. It's available at Rec the Place Records for sure, and most probably any other decent business in the area. Keep an eye out for it. I think it will cost 5-buckeroos and its definitely for a good cause.
...
October 2006 ............................... Pasties quit blogging
Ok, so you may have noticed The Pasties haven't made a blog in like a year. it's cause we've quit...
Blogging, I mean. We've quit blogging.
We're still doing the music thing. We've actually been in the studio some long nights this past week. recording some new songs... Waitaminute! This is turning into a blog, isn't it?
This totally backfired. I quit (again).
