Get your engines ready! It's a new year and we're off and running!
First, we have a show coming up January 20th! All the
details are up at www.hateinthebox.com but as a teaser, we want you to
know that we'll be playing tons of new songs and we'll have a special
guest guitarist. Will it be the tooth fairy? Freddy Krueger? A GIANT
Robot?! The Easter bunny?!!! The mystery shall be revealed at our
performance!

While the-guitarist-who-will-not-be-named will be playing the next
couple of shows, we are still auditioning for a permanent position in
the band! Don't worry, our newest member Lillie is still performing
with us, he is just taking all of his pain out on the bass now. And
oh, so much pain it is! Worthy guitarists write to
blight@... with links or attachments of photos of
yourself, your playing, your likelihood of zombification and your
little sister. This of course only applies to people living or able
to travel to NYC on a regular basis! Whether you travel by dirigible
or by clawing your way over the corpses of your enemies, makes no
difference to us, just be dead-icated to wreaking havoc with Hate in
the Box!

Aside from that, we had a poll on the site as to what communities
you all prefer to have us post on and Livejournal won by a landslide!
Yes the dreaded harbinger of online angst will now be turned to a
newer, spookier cause, a meeting place for fans of HITB! There are
already a bunch of posts in there, many of them by our newest band member!
While you're perusing that you can also brainwash... I mean, introduce
yourself in the special Getting to know you before we eat your brains
post, in the community. You can read the
posts here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/hate_in_the_box/

And join up here:

With that said, do you think we should still keep the Yahoo group, now
that we have our official mailing list, a myspace music profile
(www.myspace.com/hateinthebox) AND the LJ community? Should we simply
go back to beaming the updates directly into your skull via our zombie
penguin satellite, despite the sometimes horrifying side effects? Vote
yay or nay, today! souffle! enchante! something-ay!
If you don't vote, than that's a Nay. We'll be decided by the end of
the day... I mean week...ay!

Rock on,
Rainbow Blight-ay!
