  • gerard is sink pisser and its endearing

    “at the recent bloomfield ave show, me and my friend steve were waiting in line for the bathroom. gerard comes over and gets in line with us. we were talking about various things such as his lack of leather, the scene, etc. meanwhile, the rest of the band were halfway through setting up. when it’s steve’s turn for the bathroom, gerard was like

    "dude, i really gotta be on stage, but i don’t want to seem like a rockstar or nothing by cutting you in line.. do you think i could piss in the sink while you go?”

    well, needless to say, i was very careful about my business when it was my turn, so i wouldn’t have to use that sink.

    a month later, at hellfest, i caught gerrard on his way to the port-a-potties. and informed him that there were no sinks to urinate in.“

    Suprise! I’m sick again!
    I may look like a boatswain and smell like a corpse, but the shows are still a go for the weekend. Please try and check us out at Maxwells this Friday with The Lawndarts and The High School Sweethearts. We’re very excited to be
    playing Maxwells and it’s been a personal dream of mine ever since I was a kid going to shows there. There are some people flying out and travelling many miles to see us so keep them company and meet some new friends. Click
    SHOWS and get the skinny on where it’s going     down.

    We’re also trying a first this weekend for My Chem- 2 shows in one day. This Saturday we have the pleasure of playing Alissa’s Basement at 6:00 and then we hop in the van to make soundcheck at The Loop as soon as we finish. Eyeball label-mates, Little Joe Gould are coming out all the way from Indiana for this show so we’ve decided to risk health and safety to play both shows.
    If you’ve seen the shape of us after just one set you’re probably curious what we will be like at the second show – so are we. I can assure you a night of “hot male action” and “stinky boys    ”.

    Also check out our good friends in The Ghost and The Exit in our links section. We had the good fortune of seeing both bands play 2 nights last
    weekend and they were great. Drinking in The Ghost van outside of CBs with Jordan and T-Top was definitely a plu    s.

    I need a shave, a new dye-job, and some decongestant so I’ll leave you with the image of me sitting in my house watching Mad Monster Party, moaning, sweating, boxer-clad, and trying to hit the high notes in Headfirst For Halos.

  • 2003 interview rec room magazine

    Jessica: Can you give us a brief synopsis of the past two years, like how it all got started?

    Mikey: Basically, we went to this evil magician and we told him to make us rock & roll superstars.  So he took a pint of each of our blood and put it in a cauldron.

    Ray: Obviously he fucked up, cause look at us.

    Mikey: We’re not rock & roll superstars, but we’re sweet little dudes.

    Frank: It’s been really good.  We’re really lucky.

    …

    Mikey: He wouldn’t answer because he’s dead.  I’d probably ask Morrissey how it feels to be a sweet little dude.

    Frank: He might show you too.

  • gerard talks about 07/2003 spin shoot

    gerard talks about his first spin shoot:

    “they were calling me speed stick because I smelled so bad. and um basically he’s like "I want you to go to my cd collection. I want you to pick out whatever you want and I’m gonna give you a microphone and you’re gonna basically karaoke it. since I was like "yeah- you can’t fake singing and so we put on black flag and I was singing "nervous breakdown” and this guy comes over with a beer and just starts spraying me with water. and this is like shit i’d never.. let people do. and I was super into it. just got me soaking fucking wet. headbanging and singing. and it’s one of my favorite photos. and it ran in a page I think the guy from stellarstar was in it. and that was the first spin thing"
