I have a cold

I am sick on tour! I am going to nonetheless try to bust the song out tonight after the show but I couldn’t last night. Sorry for the delay!

Missing the Perfect Earthquake

BOSTON–I can’t fucking believe we weren’t in LA for the damn earthquake. It was the perfect earthquake. If it was any strong as it could be and still be innocuous.
Have fun without me, my friends!

Really big article about us in the Washington Post

Check it out!

Bush’s wars: Afghanistan, Iraq and… Contraception?

Note: We recorded the vocals for this song in our van last night while driving from Louisville, KY to Chapel Hill, NC. We recorded music for our weekly songs before we left and are writing and recording vocals on the road. We’ll have video up of it in a little – it was really fun!
We [...]

McCain’s new youth vote strategy?

Dave spotted this in a gas station in northern Oklahoma a couple hours ago (we’re driving from Austin to South Dakota. Ugh.)
I have never once been able to win at the claw machine, but if I was a little kid and I got this rogue prize, I would throw a fit!

Tuesday morning political tunes by other bands: Nas

Jesucristo this is fucking great.

Tour starts Tuesday! Hello, America! Goodbye, money!

The Max and the Marginalized “Hello, America! Goodbye, Money!” tour starts on Tuesday. I have played in touring rock bands for 8 years and never with a national average gas price at over four dollars, but it’s cool because we’re going EVERYWHERE and we are going to rock in states both blue and red from [...]

Our fine Senate democrats have our back again!

Oh wait, they don’t. We did our song about FISA and warantless wiretapping a couple months ago. We didn’t think we’d have to make a video down the line about the Democrats rolling over like little wimpy puppies so that they wouldn’t look like little wimpy puppies on national security. Please, next time, do better.
And [...]
