EARTH TOUR Leg 1 is done. We went to 45 countries. We made money. We are the coolest band in the world.

We are about to leave on a US headlining tour with Heavy Heavy Low Low and So Many Dynamos called the ART TOUR. It is also Leg 2 of EARTH TOUR. We are selling hand-numbered prints of 5 works of art by poet J. Nathan Winneke.

Then we are doing Taste of Chaos in Europe followed by two weeks of headlining shows in Europe.
2-17-08

Well it's only been 6 months and already another website update! Let me be as concise as possible.

1. We booked EARTH TOUR ourselves. We are almost done now. EARTH TOUR starts March 5 in Australia. We are going to 45 countries on 4 continents (Asia, Australia, Europe, North America). This is only Leg 1. In the summer will be Leg 2 (Canada, USA, Mexico, Central America). Leg 3 will be in the fall (South America and Africa). Dates are on the myspace. We will chronicle our journey by filming for our EARTH TOUR DVD, a reality TV show, a feature-length festival-type documentary, and a daily video blog, as well as photographing everything, and writing pieces for People, Time, Life, National Geographic, and some music magazines. This tour changes everything for every band and every person in the world.

2. Because of EARTH TOUR lots of labels are releasing our record in places it was never available before, so if you are from any of these places you can buy our record now: JAPAN - JVC/Victor Entertainment, CHINA - HotPot Music, SOUTH KOREA - Dope Music, MALAYSIA/THAILAND/SINGAPORE/PHILIPPINES/INDONESIA - Ceasefire Records, EUROPE - Ferret, AUSTRALIA/NZ - Shock Records.

3. We are filming a video for the song "MURDER" on Saturday at 8 am.

4. Christopher Prophet went bye bye. So instead Jon Karel from the Number 12 Looks Like You will be joining us as our drummer on EARTH TOUR! :D HOLY CRAP! Allow me to elaborate and express to you how insanely happy we are to get to play with Jon, who is a show all by himself and one of the top 3 drummers I have ever seen play in my life. (The other two are Chris from Dillinger and the first drummer from the Mars Volta) For everyone wondering where Christopher Prophet is, I don't know where he is right now. Maybe at his house.

5. The background is now a parakeet.

Oops. Our new album came out but I forgot to post a "news item" on the Official HORSE the band Website. Now we are in trouble.

This is a very exciting time in human history. As technology continues to advance exponentially and paradigms shift according to Moore's Law we are faced with startling new possibilities in "reality". WhaT THIS ULTIMATELY MEANS IS THAT WE NEED TO KILL ALL SCIENTISTS AND ANYONE HAVING TO DO WITH MATH TO PREVENT THE SINGULARITY FROM HAPPENING. This advice must be taken with a grain of salt, since nothing matters, time probably doesn't exist, and most likely the singularity has already occured and we are basically a very complicated game of SimCity 2000, but, what the hell else is there to do?

Well, you could buy our album and join a really cool cult. If you want to buy our album, you can get it at your independent record store, Best Buy (for $9.99 or less, with 3 bonus tracks and special gore-free artwork), Hot Topic, Circuit City, Virgin, FYE, Newbury Comics, and probably Borders or Barnes and Noble or some crap like that. Also you can download it here from iTunes INSTANTLY with one exclusive bonus track and a digital booklet, for $7.99!

If that isn't good enough for you, check the myspace for a ton of places to order online with special prizes.

Thanks to everyone who has been coming out to shows lately, you guys have made us really happy recently, after all of these years of making us very, very sad. Tour with Between the Buried and Me, Animosity, and The End is next. Then we're going to Canada, headlining the South, going to Europe, and then some more US tours.

Oh yeah, the album comes out 9/22 in Australia on Shock Records, still waiting for release dates for Europe and Japan. Peeeeeaaaaace.
7-24-07

WHERE AM I?! WHERE MY CELL PHONE AT?

Holy CRAP!
I forgot we even had a website. The Reaping. After a deceptive lull in the storm, the HORSE will ride higher and stronger, in the following death-defying formats:

  • Our new album, "A Natural Death" out August 28th in more stores than any of our previous releases! We have been assured by KOCH Records (NYC) that our album will be in the music stores on the day it comes out.
  • The album is set to launch in like 6 online music stores and each store is gonna have different added extras like MIDI tracks, human bone necklaces, and.... SIGNED POSTERS! Ta-da. We are hoping that some of you will buy the album 7 times. If you do, send us all the receipts and we will send you a Snickers CRUNCHER.
  • And that is a freaking tall order, because they stopped making Snickers CRUNCHERS, and they were my favorite candy bar! I haven't been able to find one for like 2 months. But if you buy 7 of our albums, each and every one of you will get a Snickers CRUNCHER, I will hunt down the last remaining uneaten ones on this stinking garbage pit Earth for the rest of my life, until you can eat one.*
  • Seriously this is our best album ever. People actually like this album the first time they hear it instead of 7 months after a CD-R of it has been on the floor of their friend's car. This album has a Game Boy, bears, crickets, a crying woman, cheerleaders, rape, horrifying birth, mental devastation, and sweet, natural death, and the best art ever which is an actual 8 foot long wood carving/painting. And it's serious. Every single second of it is serious and passionate to us, OK? Maybe...the joke's on you.
  • Also, it's re-mastered and has a different song on it than the leaked version. "Broken Trail". Buy it. Here is a picture of it so you know what it looks like if you are from a foreign country. If you right click it and say "View Picture" you can see a nicer version!

  • Our tour with allies the Fall of Troy and Tera Melos, and our headlining tour with Thriller and Mikoto. The whole west coast is finally getting HIT. Click SHOWS over there ---> for dates.
  • Our impending tour of Europe.
  • Our inspiration found in kindred spirit Lily Allen.
  • Our new music video for "New York City", directed by 2007 phenom, Roboshobo.
  • Murder.
  • Our upcoming secretly-titled split with a secret best-friend band and the secret thing we are going to do that is going to change the game again, (Nathan Explosion voice) PERMANENTLY.
  • More updates to our website.

    * If I can't find any Snickers CRUNCHERs, you might not get one, but you will still get something extremely awesome like maybe a canister of original Ninja Turtles OOZE or some Nickelodeon Floam or an unopened box of Count Chocula from 1988.
    2-1-07
    We start recording our new album tomorrow! It is about the ultimately inconsequential highs and lows of life and nature and the resultant crushing metaphysical crisis. We also used an actual gameboy a lot. And lots of new keyboard sounds. We are recording with Brian Virtue. Then we go on our North American headlining tour, which will be called Radiclysm. The first part is in Mexico for 8 days by ourselves, then we do the US and Canada with HeavyHeavyLowLow, the Number 12 Looks Like You, and So Many Dynamos. The first few dates are up on the Myspace now. More info soon! Now, test your Spanish!

    (Un hombre esta sentando en una cama rica. El tiene un gato en su cuerpo. El gato esta dormiendo y hace un sonido contento(purrrrr). El hombre toca el gato. Un fuego se quema en el fondo) El hombre mira a la videocamera.

    "Hola, y como estas?

    Yo soy Ronald P. Marklemcdarkle, un profesor famoso de Harvard Universi-DAD.

    Estoy aqui esta noche porque yo quiero decirte sobre algo que yo pienso que tu piensas que es muy gay.

    HORSE the band (CABALLO) viene a Mexico, el pais mas profundo en todo el mundo, en Marzo."

    El gato mueve un poco.

    Ronald P. Marklemcdarkle mira a el gato. Ronald no esta feliz, y no tiene felicidad en su corazon. El mata al gato, con velocidad y agilidad. El gato es muerto.

    "Ehem. Vete y ver HORSE the band tocan sus instrumentos en Mexico. O ser con este gato. No tiene razon en su vida.



    HORSE the band viene con "Dear Ghost" de Monterrey y "The 39 Steps" de Ciudad de Mexico, dos bandas de gran cualidad. HORSE the band dan gracias a Cesar de I Wish Productions para hacer el tour. Cesar de I Wish Productions es un hombre de honor."

    Pizza picture disk vinyl is on sale! It's SOOOOOOOO cool. Go to the LIF Records website to buy it. That's the only place you can get it. There are only 550 so don't mess up!

    9-3-06
    OK now I can tell you. Haha I made a new webpage! Jose Gonzalez rules!!!! Thanks Danielle! Pizza is coming out September 5th on CD in every store in the world. I just got started on the vinyl so it should be about 5 weeks before that makes it out. But we will let you know. The pizza boxes are going to look REAL. On the real.We're going to limit the vinyl to 500 copies, so keep checking back, cause when they go on sale they're going to go fast. I think they're gonna be sort of expensive but who cares? You won't be quick enough to get one anyway. We'll only be selling them through our label (still picking a name) and the Merchnow site (www.merchnow.com/horsetheband)

    Sounds of the Underground was fun. We are really tan now. Gwar killed me and Dash at the end of it on stage. Cannibal Corpse dedicated "Fucked with a Knife" to us and women! That is the definition of success. Corpsegrinder dedicating a song to you. You guys in bands should all just give up... Just stop right now because that is NEVER going to happen to you.

    Warped tour was fun too. The funnest part of Warped Tour was looking at the other bands. Sometimes it is hard to believe how many douchebags there are in the world. Most of them are in bands on Warped Tour. All the singers of the bands dress exactly the same and have the exact same haircut. The best part is when you see a real high profile singer in his designer shades walking around the bus his label paid for. Then at 2:00 in the afternoon, in the sweltering heat, you see him and his band of fags dressed up in jeans with their hair done playing out of a little trailer that gets pulled around by a truck to approximately 47 people, that is called the Ernie Ball stage. Then he is on his sidekick later. But everyone knows. 47 people dawg.

    A favorite pasttime that everyone loves is to ride motorcycles at Warped Tour through the buses at night. There was this one fucking DORK who rode his gay yellow motorcycle around the buses all night every night. He was like look at me I have a mini motorcycle and I'm backstage at Warped Tour EVERY FUCKING NIGHT for 3 hours. I don't even know what band he was in, but he definitely wins Biggest Douche of the Summer Award. Next year I am going to shoot him with a shotgun. He even surpassed the "Biggest Douche, 2004" from Iowa who was telling me Norma Jean's guarantee and how he personally knew the dudes in "Personal Mistake" and what great dudes they were, the greatest guys ever, really great dudes. Other highlights were dipping the stick in the Portopotty residue every night and then rubbing traces of feces all over all of Halifax's stuff when they weren't around (we were sharing a bus). Man we got them so many times and never even told them.

    Chiodos also kicked me out of their autograph line after I waitied in it for 40 minutes. FUSE even got a shot of me hyperventilating and almost fainting cause I was so excited to meet their keyboardist while I was in line. He is sooooooo good! I had a Cutsman shirt for them to sign. We still tricked them though and got someone else to make them sign it. But for some reason they wrote HORSE the gay on it.

    Fucking Chiodos. They never got Fucked with a Knife dedicated to them. They probably got a Motion City Soundtrack song dedicated to them called "Sorry for Never Writing Back (PS- I Miss You)" or some gay crap.

    The tour with Dragonforce and All That Remains starts in 4 days or something. I think a lot of the shows are already sold out. Good thing Dragonforce put us on! Besides that, it will probably be the last time you see us unless we do something short in the winter, which we probably won't cause I hate winter. But we're going to write a new album (in the winter) and record it hopefully by March. It is going to be the best album ever. It isn't going to sound like Pizza or the Mechanical Hand, it is going to sound better, with better parts that you can't even conceive of! And we are going to take it to the next level, if you can even believe that. No way are we going to puss out like the new Senses Fail!!!!! Man I was really bummed on how there was NO SCREAMING AT ALL. I was REALLY looking forward to that record. What a bunch of vaginas!!!!

    So after we write that, our breakthrough record, and we begin our career defining moment, we are going to do a North American headlining tour playing all your favorites from R. Borlax and the Mechanical Hand, and even Pizza and a couple of new songs. That will be in March. It will be our tour, it will be cheap, and in good smaller fun places, with really good opening bands, and you are all going to lose your minds and we will playing for 80 minutes every night. And when I say North American, I mean USA #1, Fucking Mexico #2, and Canada. But mark my words we are coming to Mexic O and we are coming to SEVERAL cities, including the baddest motherfucker of them all CIUDAD MEXICO. We are going to rock your Mexican balls off of your frijoles and show you what complete pussies other bands are, and our van is going to get stolen, no insurance, our organs will get cut off and we will wake up in a Igloo cooler in Acapulco on the beach and eat mangoes with you tilwe die 15 minutes later!!!!!!!!!! We are coming!!!!!!!!!!!! USA, MEXICO, FUCKING I CANT BELIEVE IT BUT YES EVEN CANADA! We are coming. Mark my words.

    Oh and we replaced our old drummer Eli with our new drummer Chris Prophet, a child prodigy. He learned all our songs in 2 weeks for this Dragonforce tour, so come say hi to him. I know you all want to know the dirt on Eli and what led to our (not his) decision. Well, fuck you.

    8-30-06
    We did a lot this summer! I will have to tell you about it later.

    6-3-06
    Scum. We left that tour because we ate really, really, really good pizza in Lou Malnati's in Chicago with Dave's grandparents. The pizza was such that we were inspired by God to write music of the kind not heard in this world since Mozart was fed his first currywurst. A copy of Nietzsche's "The Gay Science" was onhand and for 2 days we struggled with the question posed in "the Greatest Weight" passage, which follows. In essence, it asks the reader to examine their every action if they had to repeat their lives exactly for all eternity, begging "the question in each and every thing, "Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?"

    We couldn't decide if we should stay in Chicago and keep eating pizza for the rest of our lives. But after two days of rigorous theory, we realized we had to write divine music about the pizza. We decided to drive home immediately and write and record a 5-song EP called "Pizza" before Sounds of the Underground and Warped Tour started. God was there.

    Some tentative songs are "Crippled by Pizza", "Werepizza" (like a werewolf but just a kid with really bad acne whose face looks like pepperoni pizza), "Pizzarrhea in the Pizzaria", "Antipizza" (pizza made out of antimatter), and "Pizza Knife" (the heavy song). Also we will include our cover of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles theme before Evergreen Terrace starts playing it and because the turtles love pizza. And we might put a song on there called "I Ate Her Pussy Like a Pizza". And "Hold the Anchovies duuuuuuude!"

    We're gonna release a CDEP and vinyl. The super limited vinyl edition will come on a 10" pizza-shaped picture disc (the picture is going to be pizza) and will come in a personal pizza take out box. Also the record will be edible. Haha. No, just fooling guys!!! We won't be taking pre-orders for these, we are going to organize a fighting tournament to see who gets them so all you pussy ass record traders on vivalapussy.org won't have a chance at these. Also they are going to be EXPENSIVE as fuck so you won't want to buy two, and we will make the money off of them, not you. They will also be the first release on our label, Kangarooster Records.

    And I am setting aside 5 copies for the upstate New York scene because we are such assholes for cancelling two shows there in one year. Oh wait no, I'm not. Handle it, upstate New York. Where the fuck were you when we played in Oswego and Syracuse? Sucking on your mommy's titties probably... Oh slam.

    To help us write the album you should send us pizza. Look into it at Lou Malnati's To go and if you are ready to make the commitment email us (horsetheband@hotmail.com) and we'll give you an address to send the pizza to. We prefer Cheese and Sausage, or Cheese and Spinach. And don't fuck around with the ones that only feed 2 people. If you send us pizza before we are done recording this we will thank you on the menu that comes with the pizza vinyl.

    "The Greatest Weight" - What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you in your loneliest loneliness and say to you: "This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again—and you with it, speck of dust!"— Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: "You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine!" If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you; the question in each and every thing, "Do you desire this once more, and innumerable times more?" would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight! Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life to crave nothing more fervently than this ultimate eternal confirmation and seal?

    I think the biggest news is the name change of Combat Records. Combat Records dropped At All Cost and Look What I Did and now we are the only band on Conbat Records. Since we are, we call the shots now and decided the label is called Cat Records now (like the animal the cat) but the logo stays the same.

    We are coming out with an energy drink called "Combat Records' Energy Drink" to earn some extra $$$ for the label so we can sign Baroness. The slogan of the energy drink will be printed on all the cans and narrowly beat out the runner up "REAL FUCKIN' NICE..." The slogan is:

    "KOCH Records is a division of KOCH Entertainment, the fastest-growing music company and the market leader among independents in North America. The KOCH Entertainment corporate umbrella encompasses the KOCH Records label, KOCH Vision home video, KOCH Music Publishing and KOCH Entertainment Distribution with operations in both the U.S. and Canada. KOCH Records proudly claims the largest number of Billboard charting albums among independents for each of the last four years (2001-2004)."

    The drink is going to be purple. Also it is going to combine Gatorade and Powerade, Propel, Red Bull, Starbucks Double Shot, Starbucks Frappucino, Excedrin, and No Doz and JOLT! cola and MDX Mountain Dew and AMP and regular Mountain Dew put together and Rock Star Energy Drink mixed together with LOST? Energy Drink and LOST? Juicer Juicy Energy Drink and SOBE Monster Energy Elixir and 50 Cent Vitamin Water flavor because it is pruple. Also Airborne and Emer'gen-C.

    Also on the commercial there will be a guy and he SLAMS a whole can down in 6 seconds and then jumps through the ceiling of his house. As it shatters the camera zooms through the hole and he is standing on the roof with veins popping out everywhere. He puts the can in his mouth sideways and bites it in half. Then he says the thing about KOCH entertainment corporate umbrella in the micro machines voice and his eyeball is pulsating and a guy on a huge hot gren monster truck that says "BIGFOOT X" jumps over his house, which is actually built on a dormant volcano that happens to start erupting again at that very second. A tank shoots his house but you see the hot lava melt the tank bullet because his house is already BURNT. Then the guy gets killed by shrapnel but the camera zooms into his nostril shows the party is his stomach which is full of ALIENS surfing around in Combat Records' Energy Drink. This is because on the logo for Cat Records a cat is biting a tank in half, so it draws a parallel perspective to that logo when he bites in half the can for the energy drink, for brand recognition.

    We are back from the United Kingdom and we met two new interesting people the whole time we were there. One was named "Lee". When people wanted to talk to him they would say the sound "Lee" and he would talk to you. He is from Kent. The other one was named Simon. He had brown hair.

    Tour was horrible. Even though almost every single show was sold out, you tire quickly of that kind of success and it leaves you with an empty feeling. The only thing that kept us going was trashing the Final Sigh's dressing room every night and then blaming it on them on stage. Also crossing out everything that any band had ever written or drawn in dressing rooms was fulfilling, at best. We have a new message board that works. Whatever.
    2-11-06
    Oh my God!!!!!!! We finally found our Christmas song. It's called "A Partridge". Like "and a partridge in a pear tree." I don't know what we are going to do with it. Maybe we will put it on a 7" with a new special cover we are learning for England. That is a secret too. Basically, you get to read about everything but you will never get to hear it. Ahahahahahhahahahhahaha!!!!!!!!!!

    Who thinks we should go on tour with the Aquabats?
    2-11-06
    VH1 did a Making the Video for our Lord Gold Throneroom shoot. You can check it out here.
    1-31-06
    Ha there is some funny garbage about this one time we tried to kill Elijah Wood in this month's AP. It's the one with 4 gays on the cover. Look for the Rest Stop section. Also I found out today our CD is available in Indonesia, Japan, and South Africa!!! In Indonesia it has gone Bamboo. That is 1,000,000 units over there. The next step is Crippling STD which is 2,000,000.

    Also in case you missed it we are "Band of the Year, 2005".

    Finally, we will be shooting a video for Lord Gold Throneroom on Tuesday because our management has officially gone insane. This has been a long time coming, the first manifestation of their illness was signing us and actually allocating a part of their budget for our ideas. Then sending hundreds of cryptic emails that only say "Hooker" in the body or "Real fuckin nice." They sit in their office in New Jersey and think of the most retarded ideas and of course we will do them, then they are like on the speakerphone in their conference room going, "Yeah get Horsey on the phone. Yeah we are cutting the check for $20,000 right now, just hire a producer and send us the racist video that we want horseface." (UNCONTROLLABLE LAUGHTER AND NOISES OF CHAIRS FALLING OVER)

    OK just kidding. I am slowly redoing the site. And we are going to England in the middle of February for 13 shows. Then we are going on tour with Poison the Well. Holy crap. Also David got a new guitar. Someone stole his purple Carvin in Nashville. If you know who did that please tip us anonymously with a location of the guitar now and we will reward you handsomely. Very handsomely...if you also don't mind your friend dying. We will post pictures.

    It is cold in Canada. One time in Edmonton it was like 9. That is cold to me. I had to go to Tim Horton's and get hot chocolate and then the cup froze in my hand on the way back to the venue and I dropped it and it shattered on the ground and I had to saw off my foot. We never realized that winter was an actual thing that people have to cope with, like, putting clothes on, driving on ice, driving through snow, freeways being closed. All in all I think winter is pretty stupid. Also Chris is stupid because he fell down the most times.

    Birdo is on On Demand now. We're gonna sell our trailer soon. It's 5x8, so if you're interested and can come get it in LA email us. Until we go to England we are going to learn to cover some really dumb songs!!!! Then we will play them as encores there. Until you get to hear those you should listen to Baroness exclusively. Tomorrow we are going to do a photo shoot for an ad or something and we are going to dress like you guys if you were crossed with straight, good-looking people. I have to go to Mervyn's and buy some LEIs.
    1-23-06
    Well it has been four months and three days since your last dose of reality dawg. We sold out of our first pressing of DVDs, so we are releasing a second edition! The special feature is that we won't let our cat scratch all of them before we send them to you. So much has happened that there isn't even a point in telling you. You wouldn't even recognize us on the street anymore. We all stopped talking to all of our old friends because we are too cool for them now. Our new cool friends are way cooler than them anyway so who cares? Don't worry DAWG, it's cool. You'll give us another chance when our superficial world crashes down around us. Thanks for keeping it real. We're gonna go listen to ourselves on XM now though and eat the USDA's coveted prime rating steak.

    AND GOD WEPT TEARS OF SHIMMERING SORROW.

    Behold!!!!! A new dawn creeps up from the corners of a stale and hopeless sky. THEMECHANICALHAND is born. It is the right of passage each of you must face. BUY OUR NEW CD!!!!!!! It is forged in the skin of dead gods and the womb of a genetically altered WHOOORE!!!!! This is what you've been fucking begging for since your first wet, mewling inception!!!!! I would tell you that its available almost anywhere but that would be a second-hand decption passed to us and then again to you. It is your most vigilante duty to scour your dirty, filth-infested hometowns to find THEMECHANICALHAND. If you cannot find it you will drive or take the bus or run really fast thru the night to another location and continue to try until you are rewarded with our warm blessing of sounds of such magnitude that it will beyond your silly comprehension. It will be a rewards of nothingness!!!!! You will sit still in a silent room under the power of a spinning cd whose true majesties you feel not only in your bones but in.. your...veRY.....SOUUUUUULLLLSSS!!!! Either that or order it online.
    To support this feat of the heavens we will embrak (the new way to say embark) on a GREAT FUCKING TOUR GUYS!!!! Starting lets say........ummmm..... NOVEMBER 1st. Write that one down. This year is the year that we tour to assasinate all those who emailed us one day after we played thier town last year begging for us to come play thier towns. SDLKGJLYH.. GAK~!!!!

The shows will be so intense they will be in all caps. I dont know if any of your were into us back when r.borlax came out. most of those fans are either dead or christian now but our CD RELEASE SHOWS hurt kids. They hurt kids real bad.

And if HORSE the band says its going to be a holiday classic then you can already lock yourself in your room because you know your parents will after you play it on christmas morning and your little sister starts singing "FIVE GOLDEN RINGS........four pulsing boners.....three jiggling******** .....anyway you get it.

    The Year of Our Lord, 2005, we are playing at the Troubador tonight. This means we have really made it. This is the final sign. Our attorney, owner of our former label (it's an indie label), photographer, and someone else important I can't remember are all to be put on the guest list. In a year of disease, strife, unrest, and toil the likes of which we had never before encountered, we prevail by being asked to play the Troubador in West Hollywood, and then chilling in Puerto Rico (translation Rich Port) for 4 days with Mexicans.

    Puerto Rico is going to be so fucking awesome. It is a rich port with a bunch of Mexicans and white sand beaches and beautiful pool water instead of ocean water in the beach. There is a rain forest there and also the "Phosphorescent Beach" where phosphorescent plankton swim at night and make the water glow. One of the Super Mario Kart tracks was actually BASED ON Puerto Rico. There is also a Spanish fortress called Morro fortress guarding the bay of San Juan. Not like you knew that. None of you know. None of you idiots have EVER been there and you will never go there for that matter. None of you know what it is LIKE. None of you have been to half the places we have been.

    Dash says there are 10 hurricanes lined up to strike Puerto Rico the week we are there. Who cares? Maybe Dash.

    Eli's hair is really long and poofy. Dash has been drinking two tall cans a day. I lived in Utah the last 3 weeks with my beautiful girlfriend. David is REALLY pissed and made a DVD for us. Nathan squandered his tour earnings in one week buying $600 worth of toys on ebay. Sarah has been drinking a bottle of vodka every 3 days and has finished the pilot for her new reality show, "Melrose Place, West Covina".

    Oh yeah we uploaded two new songs onto www.Myspace.com off The Mechanical Hand. They are called Birdo and the Black Hole. As if you didn't know. Like, we were sitting around, and we were like, should we announce that we have two new songs? And I was like, I would have to double click on Internet Explorerr icon and NO then we forgot and drank a cold one in honor of Ali. It didn't matter. You have all heard the songs and they are the two best songs you have probably ever heard in your life.

    We are going on tour. Also we're playing Hellfest and if our record label has some balls we'll probably be flown out to CMJ in September. Yeeeeaaaaah first class bitch plus two nights hotel. Chillin'.

    We are going to have a DVD of last summer's 3 month tour with us on this tour. We made it ourselves and it is better than any DVD you have ever seen. It is temporarily instead of the tour journal so you know how funny it is going to be to watch that much anal play.

    Also just so you guys know, we cancelled part of our tour without telling any of the promoters because we thought it would be a funny joke. If you hate us you are right. You SHOULD hate us, because we were mean to you for no reason.

    We are in Seattle right now, recording with Matt Bayles and hoping for death. We destroyed our hotel room like rock stars but you are going to have to read just a little bit more before you get to know about that. Recording with Matt Johnson has been such a trying, horrible experience. Eli couldn't take it and left this morning. Actually last night he got really drunk because our manager, Tim Smith was in town and bought us $69 worth of alcohol at a Belgian beer store. We went to McDonald's on the way back to our hotel and Eli threw up in the drive thru line three times. Then he got to the hotel and threw up all over the toilet. Then he was walking around in his underwear and I saw all these pimples on his butt and he passed out on the bed at 3:00 am like a vermin. He had to get up to drive to the airport at 4 am. His stupid cell phone alarm started going off before I fell asleep so while it was ringing I put it on his neck. He couldn't hear it so I put it on his ear. Somehow it stopped going off after that so I fell asleep. At 7:30 Eel woke up and said "Shit I have missed my flight." He stepped on Dave's stomach while he was sleeping and ran out of the room. He drove to the airport. Now Eli is gone.

    The other night me and Nathan and Danielle and Mike B were out and about and Dash and Eli stayed at the hotel. The whole morning we were like, why didn't Eli and Dash come with us to see the Seattle Space Needle and other attractions? We came back in the middle of the day and opened up the door to the room and Eli was just DRILLING Dash on the bed. We were like holy garbage and Eli and Dash were really surprised and Eli jumped off Dash and said, "Chillin'" and put his hand behind his head and leaned back. Dash was like "What?! You don't know me." Well, we didn't know they were HOMOSEXUAL together. It was just sort of weird, but it's cool.

    My girlfriend Danielle came to visit us for our birthdays last week and I had a surprise birthday party for her in our hotel room. Needless to say, it's a long story involving a police investigation but by the end of the 15 minute party the fire sprinkler was ripped completely out of the ceiling and we flooded our hotel room and two others, causing $5000 of damage. We'll have a video up on the site soon because I know you idiots don't believe anything in this news update but it is ALL true. Matt Johnson got mad at us and Tim Smith also didn't believe that we trashed a hotel room, but we did it. Also I had just bought an 18 pack of Bud Light and after the sprinkler busted I panicked for REAL and threw it over our 3 story hotel balcony into the dark woods full of nettles below for absolutely no reason. It was the most awesome thing I have ever done in my life. We are opening a Paypal relief fund and it will be up the same time as the video. Until then you should buy our merch http://www.merchnow.com/horsetheband. There will be even more stuff up soon.

    Today me, Dave, and Tim Smith went swimming with dogs in a lake and then I inadvertantly flashed some children while I was changing in bushes. I have been tanning a lot.

    Matt Johnson told us today that our CD is better than Mastadon and Norma Jean's put together and that we are the most talented band he has ever worked with. Matt Johnson said that watching me play keyboard made him want to quit his band, Minus the Dear. We are making friends with so many incredibly famous people and it's like we don't even care, all of them want to meet US, and we're making such an awesome album, it's so killer.

    HORSE the band announces the recording of their second full length album, rightfully entitled "SUPER HORSE the band", scheduled to take place from May 13-June 3rd in none other than the jewel of the Pacific Northwest (Seattle, Washington) with the former vampire-turned-producer/engineer/mixer Matt Bayles (Botch, Mastodon, Murder City Devils, Isis, Blood Brothers, Tragedy). The album is being recorded for a secret record label and will be released no later than September 1st. A spokesperson for the band states that they have no comment.

    A tentative track listing for "SUPER HORSE the band", expected to clock in at just under one hour, follows in nearly complete disarray:

    Soaring Quails
    Taken By Vultures
    Heroes Die
    Octopus on Fire
    Sand
    Softer Sounds
    Birdo
    The House of Boo
    A Million Exploding Suns
    Lord Gold Throneroom
    The Black Hole
    Manateen
    I Wore Her Pussy Like a Hat
    The Mechanical Hand
    4-14-2005
    CHECK IT OUT we all quit our jobs even Sarah. We are professional musicians. We are going on tour to Texas in like 4 days. All the dates are on the front page. I hope you know we are never going to play any of those cities again so you should come if you live there!

    A lot of high profile photographers were supposed to photograph us the last couple of days including (seriously) David LaChapelle and MichellexStar but it all fell through. We were supposed to go on tour with Circle Takes the Square and #12 but Circle couldn't so they fell through. Then we were like, hey let's replace them with An Albatross. Then they confirmed and then cancelled and that fell through. Then we were like, hahaha, whoops! At least we still have #12, well. Guess what, it turns out God constructed the members of the #12 Looks Like You out of the same material as vaginas and Arby's sandwiches, they are big stinky pussies and they quit the tour too and won't return the man the myth the legend xEdxEdgex's phone calls. So that fell through too. I am creating a graphic to help visually illustrate what big pussies all three of those bands are and I will post it on the front page of our webpage when we go on that tour in June. The tour is called, "The Circle Takes the Square, An Albatross, and #12 Looks Like You are all huge pussies Tour". Ha just kidding guys I would never do that or even use the word "pussy". It's all good! Keep it real.

    By the way Ed Edge was the singer for seminal 80s hardcore band "FINAL EDGE" I found out, Edge isn't really his last name. It's just like calling me Erik the band or Jeff the Well or haha you fucking faggot I can't believe you are actually reading this garbage.



    GET A LIFE!!!



    Haha just kidding I posted pictures from our show at the Che Cafe, in the media section, but since you are probably too dumb to find them with that little direction, here is a link I made especially to them for you. A LINK.
    3-21-2005
    HEY! I am really angry. Every time I tell you guys a secret you go and f everything up and tell other people. So here is another one for you wretches. I got an email from Circle Takes the Square and their drummer did not really quit. And nothing is going on. So don't email them about it! Don't email them and tell them you are happy their drummer didn't quit either. Pretend nothing happened. Circle Takes the Square just couldn't do the tour for various reasons OK?!!!! GOD! You guys can be so FREAKING ANNOYING@!!!!!! How am I supposed to trust you with information like we are touring with An Albatross and the #12 Looks Like You in June?

    PS I updated the "band" section with new bios for Eel Eye and Dash. Also about Cnidiarrhea, the reason we put up that picture is because one aspect of each person looked exactly like the person they were paired with in HORSE the band. Like Liono looks exactly like Eli except with a cooler hairstyle. Ganglion stands the exact same creepy way as David. Craig or whatever the fuck his name is Ricky is the leader like Erik except he weighs more than me. Don't you guys get it?

    In conclusion, don't email Circle Takes the Square EVER AGAIN you freaking IDIOTS because if you make them too angry with us then they will never tour with us. And they want to right now they just can't yet!!! And we have two shows coming up in April right before we record our new album. April 8 at Che Cafe in San Diego and April 10 at the Allen Theatre sort of between LA and OC. We are going to play a lot of new songs and all the old favorites so you better come!!!! Cnidiarrhea is opening for us in St Louis this summer! BIGGEST PARTY EVER.
    3-3-2005
    Heh heh hehehheheheh. AAAAAAAAAAA AHAHAHAhahah. Well well well! A lot of S has happened recently. A LOT. Mainly my mom has been checking up on us via her web browser. We say a lot of bad language on this page! Please, please don't read this update mommy. Please.

    OK we have like close to 8 completed songs and then 2 other shorts ones and 3 more developed ideas. All of the songs are named "Piece of S"! Just kidding silly! I don't care how bad you want to hear the new songs because I am not going to let you!!! We are recording April either with this one dude or this other dude, or the guy who recorded Madonna Die Another Day (Japanese Single).

    Also, we are doing a very detailed West Coast tour in June with ________ and ______. Those are effing secrets too. I hate secrets. But last time I let someone know a secret, Circle Takes the Square's drummer quit and they couldn't do the tour with us. Yeah I said it, A. Thanks for spilling the beans. You got a lot of people in the industry P'ed at us.

    A terrorist sect called "the Mechanical Hand" held the Kangarooster hostage for over 4 months. He was recently recovered. This will be chronicled in the Kangarooster section shortly.

    We are going to have a big corporate merch store online at merchnow.com soon too so you guys can't possibly F it up anymore.

    One day we were playing a show in Arizona after a kid had been stabbed to death at it over one of the subtle points of being straightedge. It was an honorable death. Since he made out with 3 girls and fingered 1 at the tender age of 16 but never drank a cold one. Anyway we were playing and there was some sawdust on the stage. Something happened to Eel Eye's drum and he tried to fix it. He fell off the stage what a stupid dummy. Then he said something about how his leg hurt. We called him a P and a big hairy sweaty greasy V and made him finish the set. The venue turned the lights and PA off though. So we finished the set in the dark with no vocals and then the next day we played a show in Lake Havasu City and made Eel Eye play again we called him an L sucker and a P licker V.

    One day Eli went to the doctor cause his leg still hurt. It was sort of close to when he was telling us about how often he was 69ing this girl. Anyway, turns out, his ankle was broken for 3 months!!! Hahahahahahha what a pussy! OOPS!

    Oh yeah hey we have been advised by management to start a daily record of our activites on the new album. Here goes: "3-2-05 Hey all! Strange weather we've been having recently! *Chuckles* I just got the new Bjork DVD. What can I say but amazing? LOL. Last night we ate a pizza and wrote a killer 9/8 breakdown that goes into this 3/4 thing then when we got home we searched google for ourselves and did meth casually masturbating while reading a 3 year old interview of us that we have read at least 70 times before laughing at our own jokes with a live video of us playing in the window behind that and then finally started concentrating on the masturbation but couldnt finish up so went to bed."

    See you in 3 months
    12-22-2004
    Weeeooooo weoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoeoe guess what! We got this lockout, it costs $250 a month and it is in this crazy city called Vernon. No one knows where it is but it is a big city where no one lives. We are writing a new album in the lockout. That is what we are doing for all of January and February. Then in March we are going to record the new album somewhere. I knooooooow!

    After that we are going on a Midwest/West Coast tour with Circle Takes the Square and the Number 12 Looks Like You, possibly the most scene tour ever composed. We might even do the tour longer than that buuuuuuut if you live in a certain special city and would really like to see this tour email us and we will see if we can check you out. Also this tour is awesome because it's going to get Chandler back into booking shows. He doesn't really book shows anymore, but I think he might make a CERTAIN EXCEPTION for a CERTAIN BAND FROM SAVANNAH GEORGIA RIIIIIIIIGHT CHANDLER??? So that is way posi that we are getting Chandler back into the scene! The itinerary will be up in a few days. After this tour basically we are going to be on tour forever. Then the new record will come out and we will get way more popular than we are now and our shows will start to suck dick and you won't like us anymore, but 3 kids that are definitely less cool than you will take your place. Then we will get on Warped Tour and say some bullshit about how it was what we originally planned but trust me, we will be totally lying. We will become as big of a joke as From Autumn to Ashes and you will be embarassed that you ever liked us. But one thing you can't FUCKING DENY BITCH is that we toured with Circle Takes the Square (Circle Takes the Square is reading this. Now they are picking up their phone and asking to be dropped off the tour.) Shit

    Hey you Arizona kids sorry about that stabbing, like it wasn't our fault. We had to eat Burger King in LA at 2 pm before we left for Phoenix so that explains how come we were 5 hours late for the show. We have important shit to do.

    Check it out We had some killer new photo ops and finally you can see pictures of our new bass player Dash the Sludge Meisterrrrrrrr!!! YEaaaaaa. The Sluuudge meisterrrrrrrrr wooooooo! Thee Sluuuuuuudge Meeeeiiiiiisterrrrrrrrr yeaaaaaaaaaaa sucker. Get this for fucking cred, Dash's only shirts are of these bands: Fucking GRIEF, ASSUCK, EFFING DYSTOPIA, RUDIMENTARY PENI, and EYEHATEGOD. Dash was named after Lord of the Rings the movie and Han Solo so his real name is Dash Handjobfarto Arkenstone.

    Besides all that the split with Bleeding Kansas is coming out on Tuned to You Records out of fucking Quebec, Montreal which is run by Pierre-Luc the coolest guy from Canada in the world. And as an added bonus all the covers are gonna be silk screened by hand, this is killer news. This vinyl is going to be so fucking limited we are making them out of Formica and Coreon that shit that counters are made out of, it's indestructable.

    There is some fucking shit up when Lord Gold filled in for me on the keyboard at SynergyMag. And finally me and Sarah are looking for Sandueche models/partners so if you like to stick sandwiches all up in your pussy or you like to eat a bologna sandwich all up out of your GF's pussy send us an email, we could use you to model for the new website we are creating. If you have any questions about sandueching in general please hit us with an email we want people to be safe and informed! Bother Eel Eye on myspace and tell him to scan the tour pics so I can make the tour journal!! L8-UHSSSSSS
    12-8-2004
    Being in a band is PRITTY KILLER! We have been doing a lot of cutting.

    We also got to see where Eli got to live for one year on a Northern California tour, it was a nice building in Napa Valley called "Rehab". That night we played a show in Sacramento buuuuuuuuuuuuut the next day we took a tour of the Jelly Belly factory!

    Check it out. The next weekend we evidently played Barstow, but the only thing anyone remembers that night is the 360 our truck did on the freeway driving home through a snowstorm. It is pretty amazing to risk your life doing something you love (playing to 7 35 year old women at a bar in Barstow, CA when it is 20 degrees outside) and we think we were glad to have that opportunity. Then THIS WEEKEND we drove to UTAH and the show was freaking awesome but it got shut down by the cops. We drank a bottle of vodka that night between the 12 of us. The next night we partied in Vegas with some freaking hot chicks. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaa we got major slurped. Then we drove home after not sleeping all night and Nathan suffered a cold.

    Anyway we got a new bass player, his name is the Scorpion King.

    I started working on the tour journal and mailorder so it should all be done soon!!!!!!!! We aren't going to play much in January, and probably not at all in February cause we are writing a new album now and we are supposed to record it by March. Isn't that cool?
    10-24-2004
    Check the box! Another of the 3 goals on the charter that we set out to achieve when we founded the band has been accomplished. #2. Get on polaroidscene.com. Boy did we ever. If you are pretty killer, then check out the Downtown LA Animal Fuck Party photos. We are close to the bottom, but also in other places if you look carefully. Check out the phone number on my hand, yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
    10-10-2004
    Hello there we are back from our tour and none of us died!!! We did lose one member and seriously feared him and his GF murdered in the slums of Philadelphia but I am glad to say today we found out he was still alive by calling his mom!!!!! Andy we are glad you are still alive, we were all worried about you and it made my sleep very restless last night. I woke up with a headache and had a dream about you. I am glad you are OK. Nonetheless Andy has opted to fly one way to Philadelphia spending his last remnants of tour earnings and hope for a new future of happiness in LA with HORSE the band on that plane ticket, keeping in close touch with his best friends by sending personal text messages such as "What's up?" on a biweekly basis. That makes us all very sad and I'm sure a great deal of you "Andy Fans" out there too! Yes. I'm sure it does. Very very sad, and left feeling confused, left behind, and tricked because of conversations you had with him while he was still around confirming definite immediate-future plans of playing shows every week in the fall and writing and recording a new album by December and him sort of nodding in agreement... but the sort of legal technicality nod that could be mistaken for indifference or "not hearing" if it was to be brought up in the future during an argument. Very tricky Larry H Parker style maneuvers. Yes those sort of half hearted nods of recognition while remaining quiet and all the while scheming to leave without saying anything about plans of flying away for 4 months but then buying a one way plane ticket immediately upon arrival to Utah. I know, it is sad. And, it could be argued, other members of the band have taken breaks, trips to Europe, gone to school. This is true. Trips and school sessions that were planned all in advance, discussed among the band, and carried out during a time when the band had no opportunities to do anything of note, when the band hadn't even a real drummer to speak of, when 3/5 of the band was in school full time. Times now, however, are different. Now is the decided upon time to write the next album, per discussion on our tour and stated in the contracts, now is the decided upon time to do weekend tours of all of California and adjoining states! Now is the time towards which we have worked with great vigor. And now, only the greatest inquiry posed to the world by the great American poet Langston Hughes remains: What happens to a dream deferred?

    A Dream Deferred by Langston Hughes

    What happens to a dream deferred?

    Does it dry up
    like a raisin in the sun?
    Or fester like a sore--
    And then run?
    Does it stink like rotten meat?
    Or crust and sugar over--
    like a syrupy sweet?

    Maybe it just sags
    like a heavy load.

    Or does it explode?

    Anyway, to all my peeps out there, take time to consider the words my main man, Langston Hughes, has said. Respect. So for the next few months we are staying in freaking Hollywood in bars drinking. We are writing a new album, renting the lockout studio for a house for all of our instruments, moving into new houses in the trendiest areas of Los Angeles, huffing paint thinner and shoe glue, tutoring math, and playing shows on the weekends all over the place man! Check out the shows page for new shows, especially Cattle Decapitation Part 3 at Chain Reaction November 6th. I think most of you didn't know about our homecoming show and we only got to play 4 songs, so this can be the real one.

    Europe and Mexico were fucking cool!!!!! I am only saying that to let people know that we travelled to those places and played shows there that we booked by ourself and used our own money and made so much money that we didnt even have to pay for anything. Bitch

    Too many of you fuckers watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force, that show is a pile of shit and you should kill yourself if you like it. I am mad at you for letting us stay at your house if you made us watch that shit.

    I'm selling one of my keyboards so get in touch if you want it it has my hair and sweat all over it (soaringquail@asssnake.com), it is a Korg MS2000B that I used at 60 shows on tour, I bought it in England and it has played shows in England, France, Belgium, Germany, and like 54 states. It also has a lot of my hair all over the inside of it and it is very good, I just don't like what color it is.

    I am going to make the tour journal but I need more pictures, so send any pictures you have of us to horsethebooking@hotmail.com, I will give you credit, it will be so freaking awesome for your reputation. I can link to your myspace profile or something, just send in the pictures!!!! And videos, cause we're making a DVD and it's going to be realllllllllly funny.

    We are really recording a new album and it will be out early next year, it's going to be so sososososososooooo crazy!!!!1 I can't remember anything else.

    Please email us if you can set up shows for us in Tijuana, Phoenix, Tucson, Reno, El Centro, Victorville, San Bernardino, Ventura, San Diego, Sacramento, Santa Cruz, Salinas, Vacaville, Chico, Riverside, or Barstow. We are going to play all those places before 2005 yeaaaaaaaaah horsethebooking@hotmail.com

    Oh yeah check it we are the featured live band on Metal Injection, it's a real TV show in New York City that you can watch on the Internet too because of technology. So if you want to see the worst performance of our tour on the day when we flew in from London and took a subway to ABC No Rio straight from the airport after not sleeping for 40 hours and playing without any of our equipment and the keyboard coming out of the worst sounding bass combo amp ever in a 120 degree oven, check it out!!! It's killer! http://www.metalinjection.net/ If anything just watch the first 10 seconds where we do the intro to the show in the backyard of ABC No Rio after 41 hours of no sleep after playing the show and we look like the biggest mutants ever. Especially Dave on the left watch what he says and the face he is making. It is a funny face. And then watch the intro to the show it has some really dangerous mosh pits with marine commercial music in the background.

    Finally check out this notable live review from St Louis because the writing is very eloquent and it makes some good points. L8 UHS!!!!!!!!!!!
    XGrundleSnakeX: 6-15-04
    XGrundleSnakeX: Dear Festering Pig Bladders,
    XGrundleSnakeX: This is the dark one, thats right... Satan.
    XGrundleSnakeX: And Eriks new escapade into the wilds of holland and other latent Eurotrash cities of drug abuse and mixed feelings on ones sexuality.
    XGrundleSnakeX: has rendered him unable to update the website.
    XGrundleSnakeX: Unfortuneatly for you girls out there, Erik chipped his front teeth on an erect phallus.. while practicing moves for his new friend "Brandon"
    XGrundleSnakeX: ( Oh ya, dave you can make little fixes to this to make it more "appropriate" or grammatically correct.. or just simply so it makes more sense or flows better)
    XGrundleSnakeX: acutally
    XGrundleSnakeX: take out Brandon... and add "Klaus"
    XGrundleSnakeX: or "Felix"
    XGrundleSnakeX: ok back to it...
    XGrundleSnakeX: So while the rest of Horse the band labors away in the "2004 Duck Cunt Hunt Tour" dungeon, I Satan, am branding their undergrundles with hot iron and bailing wire, ensuring that the torture is maximized. All the while, Erik, the founding father, and "the cute one" is spending all of the fresh merch order money on "H" and "Felix and his friends" in a trendy night club called "S.A.C.K." in uptown Prague.
    XGrundleSnakeX: (are you still there dave?)
    XGrundleSnakeX: Dave?
    XGrundleSnakeX: hahah
    XGrundleSnakeX: should I keep going?
    Ma V E nJones: yes
    XGrundleSnakeX: ohhh hahah
    XGrundleSnakeX: ok
    XGrundleSnakeX: So in the spirit and celebration of Erik's departure...I, the Son of the Morning, have purchased 4 souls from the "trendy" new act (aka Horse the Bizzle) which has ensured them:
    A. The new horrifying man, Eli, who has taken full control of drumsets and having wild sex sessions with the concubines.
    B. A successful new music video WATCH IT NOW!!!!!!, soon to be aired on BET and the WB. and
    C. Actually being able to go on tour. Oh yes.. and for special good measure... I personally ensured:
    D. Erik's expiremental "tantric sex with shady individuals" has remained STD free... so a big round of applause for our boy...
    5-7-2004
    Friends! I have some fantastic news for you! Your hard work, phone calls, emails, and sponsorships have paid off. AIDS is cured! NO! Andy did mailorder!!!!!! Your money has been vindicated! It is now safe to order again. So order, Andy felt horrible and overhauled his whole way of living and image, he is also vegan now, gay, and straightedge studying design, hair, and photography, getting into the Magnetic Fields and Swans, learning how to screenprint and stencil spray paint his own clothing on the side (how fucking original!) and has slowly faded out his main interest from pirates, dinosaurs, and ninjas (totally 2001) to wizards, cooking people in ovens, and Satan. So basically he is about the coolest you can get for May 2004!!!! Good job you guys! ;)
    5-1-2004
    We have some new shows. We don't have a new drummer though yet. But maybe some day we will. Also we are still going on tour this summer for 3 months.

    And Andy still hasn't done mailorder. He lied to us, and all of you. It makes everyone very sad. We vested a lot of trust into Andy after his big talk. :_-( I can't believe that Andy is a liar and a thief! But I have to come to accept it. It is very sad isn't it? Maybe you should call him if he owes you merch and time, and ask him, "Andy, why did you steal my money and make me feel sad about something that I like, and wanted to share my happiness for with you, by sending you money in exchange for a product that I wear only to promote your band? Why did you do that to me? Don't you care about other people and keeping your promises, Andy? Don't you care about other people Andy? (repeat this last line several times as you trail off into a hopeless depression)" Just read that message into his voicemail. (310-694-4017) Even if you didn't order anything, because it is the principle of the matter.
    3-18-2004

    Oh yeah so I Was surfing the WWW tonight and came upon the most horrendous song I have ever heard in my life. It's so bad that it's actually enjoyable to listen to check it out, Remembering Never's new song about Dead Cold Hands or some shit. It's on lamgboat. It's like ridiculous. (Somewhere in Florida, a member of Remembering Never is reading the HORSE the band webpage. He is thinking about his life. "But wait... I bought R. Borlax. . . (30 second pause) . . Cutsman....is my .. FAVORITE SONG!!1" A single tear crashes down his cheek.)

    Don't forget to come to the Daughters show on the 11th, it's in CALIFORNIA. WE ARE PLAYING A LOT OF SHOWS IN CALIFORNIA SOON, AWESOME HUH! INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF PLACES WE ARE NOT PLAYING SHOWS SOON ARE FLORIDA, NEW JERSEY, AND CANADA. HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? CHECK ME OUT

    Hey dummies I like completely redid the Media section. It is almost all done except a couple of the pictures don't work but most of them do. There is so much new fun stuff for you!

    Also we are going to be on a British TV show about video games and they are going to film us going xtreme clubbing in Koreatown on Feb 21 and DO NOT COME TO KOREATOWN THAT NIGHT, you will ruin our interview.

    So yeah we totally have some shows coming up. See you

    Last night was an amazing night for me. I went to the Echo in Echo Park. A couple of weeks ago I realized that everyone cool in Los Angeles moved to Silverlake, Echo Park, and Koreatown, in that order of coolness. My wife is not really pregnant. In fact I am not married. MMMmmmm I think we are in Terrorizer this month.

    We are out of pins but I'm making new ones and a new sticker and a sweater and a new shirt and a canvas tote bag and tattoos. We have some shows coming up. Oh yeah our Winter Tour was amazing, we spent a shitload of money we made off merch and Alex was doing cocaine the whole time. It's amazing what happens when you give a 17 year old that much cocaine. Maybe I will make another tour journal.

    So, in conclusion, don't order pins, and watch out for snakes.

    AH it's Christmas! For your Christmas present we are going on tour. We go on tour tomorrow. Go to the shows section for the little list of cities we will be descending upon. Sorry for the short notice. I have been in a REALLY CRAZY mood lately and I don't have time for this "Internet" bullshit!!!! Oh yeah, my wife is pregnant.

    So anyway besides that I've been doing this job tagging furniture at the CalTrans District 7 Headquarters on First and Spring in downtown LA. Yeah, it's pretty cool, I walk around with the palm device and a nice man named Larry and he puts stickers on the furniture and tells me what kind of a furniture it is and then I write down in the Palm Device that furniture's bar code number and what Larry said it was and we do that for all the floors in two buildings, and let me tell you, there is a SHITLOAD of furniture! YEP! Sometimes we get really crazy and do like 300 pieces in an hour. Larry also told me about jail and being Mexican or black. Mexicans and blacks hate eachother. Especially the further east into the Inland Empire you go. Let me tell you about what to do if you ever find yourself in jail. Picture this, motherfucker jumps you on the street and you're really getting your ass beat, you're on the ground, and there's a piece of pipe. You hit the bitch to save yourself, cops come, and bust both of you cause you used the fuckin' pipe. Bam you're in jail until you can get cleared. So what do you do? Basically you tell the cops you're on medication, like Prozac, so you can go to the special floor where the people are who take medication are, cause it's not as dangerous up there. BUT, even there sometimes shit goes down, So say a black and a mexican are fighting, and the mexican is gay, (a fagxican), oh wait, that's besides the point, so wait, say it's one on one.... you don't do shit. But say it's a group or two on one or some shit, or a whole grip of people start fighting, you gotta run in there and fight for your fuckin race. Or else you'll be a little bitch or a pussy. And once they find out about that is when they start raping you or you become someone's little bitch. If anyone ever gives you shit, you hold your head up high and stand tall and get in their face and say, "FUCK you". Not "Fuck YOU", because you're not trying to emphasize that you want that specific person to get fucked, that's taken for granted, what you really want is to say FUCK to the person giving you shit as the action you want to be done to him, instead of another action such as "caress". Larry also told me the difference between blacks and mexicans but it is not something I should repeat.So when we are tagging furniture we often get into enthralling, real conversations about real, true, from the heart racial issues in contemporary Los Angeleno society

    Hey we are looking for a drummer. You need to want to tour incessantly and be really good at the drums and be funny and nice. If you think you can do it email horsetheband@angelfire.com. We are from Southern California. We don't mind if you move here. If you are nice we can even give you a free place to live for a month or so. Don't miss the greatest opportunity of your life, email us.

    Our Halloween show was very funny and we got kicked off stage after they forced us to put our pants on and stop throwing period balls that fell out of Martina Navritilova's menstruating vaginal. Also Jesus was on hand and performed a miracle. BE OUR DRUMMER

    1. We are playing a show in 5 days. We are not going to play after that for a long time, so come to it.

    2. We are running out of merch. If you want something we have now, get it.

    3. jensen@aol.com says: "i've listened to this band for a long time, and have met them before. while i enjoy their music (though often sloppy and untight) - personally, some of them are huge chodes. the keyboardist, though funny, is such a shit-talking dickhead that it almost keeps me from ever enjoying their music anymore."

    WHAT UP, DOUCHE??? We're back from tour and today came out R. Borlax (celebrated by French Canada as "A heinous, curved and thus straightforwardly jouissif and essential disc!" - loose translation).

    My eyes hurt so I'll leave it at this: New fucking awesome videos from tour, a new merch page for you to order from starting now, a new R. Borlax review, new shows in California, and that's all. Many of us are in the process of moving back to LA again and then we're gonna write new songs and play some shows.

    Oh, by the way, we took a lot of funny pictures of sluts and anals and women who are so fat that they need an automatic wheelchair to move about the city and also use an umbrella, and then combinations of the three with Andy in the background or foreground, or a Tyrannosaurus, on tour, those are coming soon so check back. Also I'm gonna put a bunch of new live pictures up on the site, if you have any you want me to put up email them to me and I'll put your name by them! RIP $P-NUT$

    CUTSMANIA is sweeping the Asian continent. You've probably heard Cutsman by now but if not go listen to the #11 song on mp3.com. It's got something for the holes and something for the poles. In your face

    In other news we have a lot of new merchandise which you can buy on tour including hats, 4 new shirt designs, frisbees, vegan microwave snacks, "show safe" rubber spiked dog collars that look just like the real thing, and the return of "HORSE the band, bith" (haha) shirt in an alternate color just to you losers who got into us too late will be constantly reminded of how you just couldn't do it, again.

    We're playing our last two shows in California for a while August 9th and 10th, check the shows section for that happiness. The show on the 9th is Bleeding Kansas first show back from their extended vacation so come to that one!

    We need help on our tour in Florida, and maybe Chicago, and I think that's it. So email us if you want to help. Actually even if it's not one of those cities email us cause shows fall through every day. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
