What’s Up

Hey Freaks

I just wanna write a new post so this website isn’t yelling that we got our money stolen forever… thanks to everyone who said really kind things to us about it. It sucked and our sense of security has been shook up, but also shit happens. Live and learn.

But ANYWAY!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!????!!!

We’re still working on the new record and feeling really good about what’s happening with that.

We’re playing on Saturday June 2nd at the Palace Flophouse in Olympia with Sharkpact, Stillsuit (Bay Area) and Prank War (a good new band from Olympia!!!). New songs! 

Great. Much better. Life goes on. Up the punks.

Over.

FUUUCCKK! Our shit got stolen!!!!

A frustrating fucking thing happened last night:

Someone came in through the backdoor of PUNKALL (our home in Olympia) and stole a bunch of stuff including Erica’s backpack which had the ENTIRE band fund that we’ve been saving from the past year of touring, about $2000 in cash.

So this is a stretch, but better than nothing: The back pack is small, brown (filson fabric), RELoad brand bag with straps (not a messenger bag). It had a journal (with lots of lyrics for the new record!!), yellow knock off rayban styled sunglasses, a hand sewn wallet and a bunch of other non-valuable but important things.Well, and the band fund which was both valuable AND important.

A small red backpack, a red charvel strat style guitar and a checkered backpack were also stolen.

If you’ve got any leads or want to help please email us – rvivr@rumbletowne.com

We don’t want to involve the cops, just to get our stuff back. Thanks.

ps Are you paying attention to CeCe McDonald’s trial?

CeCe McDonald

Hey!

This woman needs attention, intention and advocacy aimed in her direction.

Please read about her situation and know that this is NOT RARE:

Transwomen (especially Transwomen of Color!) experience some of the nastiest marginalization in our USA culture. CeCe’s fate is in the hands of an ignorant, repressive judicial system and the more attention she gets, the BETTER.

CeCe McDonald (who is a transwoman of color) is facing murder charges for her act of self-defense, with a pair of sewing scissors, against a group of white men who used racial/homophobic slurs and then physically attacked her.
This case has gotten SOME media attention, but NOT ENOUGH.

Her trial begins next week.
