Missing Teens
Man oh man oh man. What a busy little summer for the Missing Teens. We've got 3 - count 'em, 3 shows lined up for July, August and September. A show a month may not sound like a lot to you guys out there in internetland, but remember, that's more rock shows that George Washington saw in his entire LIFE. You should check out our shows page for more info on each, but the first one to check out is at Ace of Clubs on Friday, July 21st ; then Kenny's Castaways on August 17 ; and finally the Knitting Factory (!) on Sept. 8. We'll be adding Darren Jones to our backing band for these shows. Doesn't that make you feel better about yourself? Nothing like some live drums to make your pre-recorded drums sound more "drummy". Also, please go be our friends on myspace. Myspace is (sadly) more important than ever.
Look, kids! It's the official Missing Teens press release by Mike Weber! Isn't that EXCITING? And it's just in time for the Missing Teen's first show in ages: July 8th at the Sputnik Bar in Brooklyn! We'll be playing all the groovy hits from "Music For Young Adults," which is still underway, as summer affords James and his 90 guitarist friends plenty of time to track.
Speaking of which, head on over to the music section and check out some of the new mixes. The reliable (if drunk) Darren Jones added some solid drum tracks to beef up the samples, and Mr. Dave Tirolo, Professor Emiritus of Lite Studies at the Steve Winwood School of White Funk, added bass to a few tunes, with more to come. Now if only I can get the PORN HORNS to add some spice to these tracks. They certainly did a great job with "Back To Reality" by the Bosch, a mix of which should be up on this site soon...
Oh, and hey, if any of you are gonna be in the Bay Area this coming 1st of July, be sure to check out the 3rd annual Mishap Prom. The Missing Teens will be playing with a few other top-notch acts: the Gomorrans, TopR, Justus Bends and others.
