have you been feeling it too? that rumbling just beneath the surface
no matter where you go? the air dancing even at night? at first i
thought it was the train, or maybe just the weather, but now i know
what it was.

the pages in my recipe book must have been stuck together like that
time on "friends" when rachel combined the recipes for trifle and
shepherd's pie.
luckily, this mistake isnt quite so gross.
so why dont you make it to the living room at 9 tonight to see YVEL.
1 cup YVEL
1 cup blammos
1 cup ian thomas
carefully fold the three ingredients together in an oven-safe bowl.
once the batter is combined (a few lumps are okay, DONT overblend) on
thursday at 9 pm place in a bain-marie (no cover required) over a
medium flame on the front burner of the stove. for maximum effect,
the front burner should be located in the living room in front of
your guests.
in other words...YVEL is playing thursday night at the living room as
part of the front burner launch party. the night starts with ian
thomas at 9 pm, blammos at 10 and YVEL at 11.

well, the transient nature of rock has bared its teeth once again.
do you remember that email you got anytime between yesterday and
today saying that LEVY was playing a show tonight at annex?
well...forget it. due to circumstances beyond anyone's control
(well, i imagine it's probably within at least one person's control,
but i have no idea who that person may be) the show has been
cancelled. so...until the next show enjoy the new songs that can be found on
the band's myspace page and elsewhere on the world wide web.
sorry, gang.

tolerable again!"

this weekend a movie called "keeping up with the steins"
(http://www.keepingupwiththesteins.com) started playing at a theater
near you. it's all about a boy who didnt know that a girl was so old
she seemed so young to him and then he got scared and couldnt say yes
so she went home with another boy instead. no it's not. but it DOES
feature LEVY's song "on the dance floor."
so if you want to space it out, here's how i would suggest you spend
this week.
tuesday: go see the movie
thursday: go see LEVY at the annex. also playing that night are the

in a shocking case of broke on broke crime, LEVY's shit was ganked
from their van at their last UK show of the tour. while the thieves
left the band's guitars it seems like they grabbed pretty much
everything else that wasnt nailed down including matt's nifty new
laptop which contained the brain of the levytheband.com website.
never fear, though. the heart is still beating in an apothecary jar
known as the "blog-o-sphere" and while the new LEVY website is
incubating and preparing to rise very soon like a phoenix from the
flames, you can get LEVY updates at:

LEVY is setting out for their full scale tour of the UK opening up for

you may not be able to tag along to every show you can follow their
adventures on their tour journal(some people might even call it a
"blog") -- http://wearelevy.blogspot.com

sets, you can find LEVY at the following places. say hi to their

this tuesday LEVY is taking part in a benefit show for a humanitarian
trip to honduras. all of the bands are donating their proceeds from
the show to a team of people who will be providing medical care to
people in the small town of Juticulpa, Honduras and helping to design
and implement a literacy program at a school there for children with
special needs. The proceeds from the show will go towards supplies for
the town (both medical and educational) as well as expenses for the
trip. it looks to be a great show for a great cause so you should
probably get everyone you know to come along and join the fun and feel
good about yourselves for doing it.
