Pulling An All-Nighter

Yes indeed, friends. I, Mushmouth, am pulling an all-nighter. To hopefully reset my sleeping patterns. Let us see if it works.

Not much to say, except that 'Work.' is coming along swimmingly. Expect to hear more soon, and expect a VLOG soon. We recorded one, but it was incredibly long winded. Might'n we reconsider? Verily, we have. So, soon to come.

Listening to Los Angeles by Flying Lotus right now. Listen to it sometime. Maybe make it the soundtrack to your all-nighter?

Okay, time to find out what time the sun comes up, and choose my sun-coming-up song.

FARE THEE WELL, WE WILL SPEAK SOON LOVES

A bevy of updates kind of

Mushmouth here.

What to tell, what to tell...

Well, my friends, let me first start by saying that our new album, 'Work.', should definitely be finished come the holidays. Both yours truly and Kid Supreme have been writing pieces for it, and we will record vocals when we are home on break. Tell us what you've thought of what we're calling post pop, we've been excited to write songs like this since we started making music as The Bridal Shower, and have just realized this goal.

Secondly, I saw Boris and Growing last night, both of whom were phenomenal. Growing had a third member that I did not know about, and they were very trance-inducing, in the very best way. Boris had stupendous energy, and played a long drone jam at the end of their set. I can't hear still.

Some sad news. I was in a car accident earlier this week. I, my friend Nilla, and my room mate were en route to the apartment of one of our friends, when Nilla's car was struck by a girl who ran a blinking red light (we ourselves had blinking yellow). I am under the impression that, had Nilla not turned out of the way, I would have been seriously injured. She was going at least 30, which, when coming straight at your face, is fast for a car. Nilla, thank you for moving out of the way. Luckily everybody was alright. The same could not be said for either car.

Finals, my friends. Final papers, final projects, and final exams. For the next few weeks, I will be up to my face in this nonsense. I know Kid Supreme is facing the same evil. We will stand up to these obstacles, and in less than a fortnight, we will be able to practice and write music nightly once again.

Remember that radio show we were talking about? This friday, we will be recording it, and hopefully we will get the audio in a timely fashion. When we do, we'll put it up here, for your listening pleasure.

Good night my friends. It is snowing. I'm content.

LOVE YOU AND THE SNOW AND A LOT OF THINGS

Could Not Let this Go Unsaid

Alright so, Mushmouth recently insisted that I watch the new Architecture in Helsinki music video. The song is entitled "The Beep." Now let me first state that I really liked their first two albums (i.e. Fingers Crossed, In Case We Die), but did not care for their most recent album. Although their most recent album Places Like This was not very good, I can respect that they were trying to push their music in a different direction, however, I cannot justify the sin that is "The Beep." Somehow the members of Architecture in Helsinki deemed it both appropriate and necessary to start making throw away 1980's pop music. Unreal and frankly uncalled for. If after reading this you still feel you need to actually watch the video you'll understand what I mean and furthermore, the video itself only solidifies my claim. Hell even the name should have tipped me off. I'm just disappointed that's all. This just suggests to me that bands now either have no artistic integrity or (perhaps worse) not artistic vision, when you're reduced to making 80's mall pop.

I apologize to anyone who many have thought it was harsh, but as I stated I could not allow this to go unsaid.

Until next time comrades,
Kid Supreme (of The Bridal Shower)

Kid Supreme Strikes Again

Hello comrades! Thanksgiving is almost upon us. Let us celebrate family, friends, delicious food and murder. Preferably not the last one.
Anyway, The Bridal Shower will playing some music during this Thanksgiving break and I for one am excited. Expect a new vlog, perhaps even some newly recorded material, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Regardless we will be playing music and will be making new material even if we don't record it.

Happy holidays comrades,

More Music From Us?!

Mushmouth.

I hope this isn't an overwhelming amount of music we're giving all of you lovely listeners. Here is something we recorded a while ago, and I believe alluded to at some point. Its acoustic versions of some of our earlier songs (aka from the summer). Here goes:


http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?qnwmjzde5yy

Expect to be seeing another album released soon. This will most likely be our Drexel session, whenever we get around to making artwork for it and putting together some discernible order for the songs, and maybe crafting some sort of special thing for the physical release.

On the topic of physical releases (not to sound dirty at all), we're going to be working overtime this coming vacation to craft some excellent hand-made sleeves, 80s hardcore style, to have for folks who come to our shows.

Keep doing what you're doing
Mushmouth

Roger Williams 11/8/08

Mushmouth say:

Well, here we are, ladies and gentlemen, another release by The Bridal Shower. This time, your ears will be feasting on our last show, which was in fact at Roger Williams University, on the date of November 8th of the current year. Without further ado:



http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?n04mmnomymn

Enjoy all of the lo-fi goodness of this release, recorded on our lil' tapey by our new friend Erin (thank you ma'am). Thanks are extended as well to Jizzy, who helped us with some drumming, and Special, who graced us with his turntables.

At this juncture I would also like to mention that we are open to anybody who is at one of our shows taping said show. Bring your tape recorders, digital recorders, camcorders, cameras, talk-boys, yak backs, or anything else to help us archive our time in front of/around you. Let us know if you do, because we will more than likely use anything you have for us.

I love you more and more every day

Taj Mahal

is slow brewed for the connoisseur.

Mushmouth here.

The Bridal Shower may be coming to you from a radio station close (or not so close) to you soon. One of my classes has us producing radio shows to be played in syndication, and our next task is to interview a band, discuss their music, and also play it on air. Will it be The Bridal Shower? I hope so.

New thing here. Discussion of lyrics. Nobody ever leaves comments. Do that shit up, that's what its there for. Oh, and subscribe or follow or the like. Anyway, onto the lyrics. Tonight's lyrics are from one of my favorite songs to play:

FIGHTY CAT

Situational
Mind, it makes me
In the brightest lights, I
I see the faces
Focus, focus
Dropping like a pin
The minutes stretch
Drawing closer, still
And each wave
Pixelated, real
The movement
Does it account

This song reminds me of one of the best days of my life.

The Bridal Shower.

Getting slightly less enigmatic and slightly more personal.

A good move?

You be the judge.

Okay, no more single line sentences.

LOVE YOU
Mushmouth

Success

And yet another successful show for The Bridal Shower. I would give us an A+, however if there were a more prestigious award available I would surely give it to us.
Anyway, we had our show at Roger Williams University last night. It was fun, we had my neighbor Special do some turn table action for us during the set, which was fantastic. We also had a member of Hand? by the name of Jizzy help us out on a few songs. Let me also state that although I had a good time playing, it was only because I was playing a show. The stage crew at this place was completely unpleasant and was more concerned with the stupid lightning than with getting our levels correct. Also, there was a point where I was told I was not allowed to have both a DJ and computers. Apparently we're barbarians and new ways of doing things are absolutely prohibited.
The bands that played were pretty cool. The Short Summers were a kind of alternative rock band and Forest Henderson was a really neat band as well. I particularly enjoyed Forest Henderson because these guys seemed intrigued by our set up. I will continue by explaining that I'm certain the people putting on this show were not very happy with the both our attire and the music we played and I don't see any future shows at Roger Williams University. However, that's fine, I had fun playing and that's all that really matters.

Until next time comrades,
Kid Supreme (of The Bridal Shower)

An Evening With The Bridal Shower

Hi-Ho comrades! Information on the show this Saturday at Roger Williams University is afoot.
Said show will be on this Saturday, the 8th of November. As stated above it will be at Roger Williams University at the Field House which is located in the athletics area where the radio station also is, I'm not sure what the building is actually called. Anyway, the show will be at 8 and will end around 11. We will be playing with two band The Short Summers and Forest Henderson, two bands I believe also have students that attend Roger Williams University. Mushmouth and I (Kid Supreme) except you to be in attendance and if you're not you know what will happen. Yeah, it'll be like last time. You remember last time don't you? How could you forget? It was terrible for all of us, but it had to be done.
Regardless, you should come to the show, I'm expecting it to be nothing short of an extravaganza.

Yours truly,
Kid Supreme (of The Bridal Shower)

New Single/Show/New President

Are you happy with the way the vote turned out? Cause we are. You should be, if only because it means that The Bridal Shower won't have to move out of the country!

Anyway, all of this excitement prompted us to bring you our new single:



May 13th Was The Perfect Day [Single]

You get our new song 'May 13th Was The Perfect Day', as well as a new version of the song 'I Watched Them Eat My Neighbors' from our recently released album Tremendous Pulling Left.

ALSO: Be sure to come see us live this Saturday, November 8th, at Roger Williams University in Bristol, RI. I (Mushmouth) and Kid Supreme will be performing along with some possible guests. Should be a dapper time. See you there? <3<3<3<3

The Bridal Shower Has Shows?

What? That's nonsense, everybody knows that The Bridal Shower doesn't play shows. Surely this is a joke. Well I'm here to set you all straight and explain The Bridal Shower does play shows and has some shows coming up. First, as mentioned by us earlier, we are playing with Brava Spectre and Yip-Yip at The Eclectic Wear in New London, CT on the 27th of October (that's this month! and it's a Monday). It's going to be fun show because we're playing with two awesome bands, but also because this is our first show with Raptrz and we'll get to tweak our live performance. Then we were just asked by my university, Roger Williams University, to play a show. Said show will be the first or second Saturday in November. I'm excited about this show because I don't think the students of Roger Williams are prepared for The Bridal Shower. Not to suggest we're some brilliant enigmatic entity or something, but rather I doubt that most of these people have heard anything like The Bridal Shower, let alone do I think they've seen anything quite like us before.

So there you have it, The Bridal Shower does play shows and I expect you to attend. We should have even more shows in the coming months.

-Kid Supreme (of The Bridal Shower)

New Release

What's that? The Bridal Shower has another new release?
That's correct ladies and gentlemen, The Bridal Shower does, in fact, have a new album. It's called 'Tremendous Pulling Left.' As you might have already guessed this is our first album with Raptrz involved, so I hope you're as excited as we are. It's ten songs and unlike 'Little Boots' is only about 38 minutes. Again this album is a little different, but I think you'll find that at the core the songs have a similar feel to them.

I know what you all might be thinking "But Kid Supreme, you've already released so much material, won't that alienate your fan base and possible hurt your chances to get new fans?" Although that is very astute of you and I admire that, I would disagree. I think that since we're always writing new material and since shows are a little difficult to get right now, recording new albums is the best way for us to get our music out there.

Well without further stalling, here is the link to our newest album 'Tremendous Pulling Left':

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?kmmmttqnlza



I hope you like it and remember we have a show on the 27th. The information for said show in on our Myspace.

Keeping it real,
Kid Supreme

!EDIT!

Mushmouth reporting, this album now has ALBUM ART YEEEEEEE. Specially made so our friend Nilla wouldn't head asplode from not having artwork for an album.

Hope you enjoy it, listen to it all cause its a very diverse album, and I love you.

It's So Exciting You Might Poop Your Pants

Hi everyone, this is your good friend Kid Supreme. I felt I had to come on here and create a blog for you all to read because something amazing has just come the way of your friends at The Bridal Shower. Through somewhat unlikely circumstances a friend of ours, known only as Captain Britain, has brought us into contact with the probably one of the coolest bands out there right now by the name of Fuck Buttons. Captain Britain recently attended a show with Fuck Buttons and Mogwai and took a video if Fuck Buttons. Captain Britain was then contacted by Fuck Buttons because they liked his video and asked for the raw footage. Captain Britain then proceeded to tell them about us and they liked it.
Obviously I'm very excited and I'm hoping that they can give us even more feedback on our music. So, this was my big news and I hope you all think it was as exciting as I did.

Also, I'm going to be coming home this weekend and I'm optimistic that we can record some new material. This should be great because you'll be able to hear how Raptrz has integrated into our music.

Until next time,
Kid Supreme

Let's get existential

Mushmouth here.

Truly, this is a difficult time to be alive, our age, and living in this country. Over the past few weeks, friends and I have debated the future of not only the country, but also of the world as a whole. Now, we here at the Bridal Shower don't condone capitalism at all, and feel that basing your life on material objects is one of the most wicked things one can do. However, we did not choose to be born into a country that places so much importance on "stuff". This is the unfortunate truth of where we live, and we have only been able to watch as things have slowly started to degrade themselves.

EXAMPLE: I listen to NPR on my way to and from work everyday, and for the past few weeks, all I've been hearing about is how another large firm on wall street has collapsed only to be pulled by the government out of the shit they've created for themselves. Recently, somebody made the comment that this is what it must have felt like to live at the end of the Roman empire. As the system collapses, the citizens at large entertain themselves with mindless bullshit that hides the fact that things are going wrong. Natural disasters tear away whole communities, and the economy threatens to fall completely, but, hey, lets watch some wrestling! Fuck.

It's pretty obvious from what I've already written, but let me just come out and say that we don't agree with the current republican administration's way of handling things. Both Kid Supreme and I feel that, if McCain is elected, we will have to move to another country. We're afraid of what is to come, friends of The Bridal Shower. So afraid. In a few months, depending on how people vote, you may be hearing from us via Montreal, or Oaxaca, or who knows where. All we know is that things are pretty bad.

Now, these things are pretty bad, but, as I spoke with my friend Nilla yesterday, we decided that this country breeds apathy. We talked about not knowing just where in life we were headed, and the search for something to believe in. These things may sound cliched and trivial, but they really are some of the major things that have been on this Bridal Showerer's mind. What does the future hold? A job? Poverty? all of this ties in with the above statements, but also supersedes them. So many things that I feel cannot be expressed with words. This is just a fraction of what I want to say.

Never fear, though. I don't let these things get me down all the time. My friends are where I find solace in my life. We find things for ourselves to become interested in. Although music is the main focus in my life, I rather enjoy making films. My university friends and I have recently began shooting a new film, entitled, "The Agony of Aging". It sounds pretentious, I know, and, as we started, it was supposed to be a joke. Now, however, we feel as though we actually have a message to get across, and will stick true to what the title suggests. Plan to hear more as the film is completed.

Thus ends another blog. I will be seeing Kid Supreme at the end of the week, and you better believe we're gonna practice the shit out of The Bridal Shower. Also, let me mention that friends of The Bridal Shower are now listed to the right.

Thank you, and I really do love you,

Mushmouth

YOGA FLAME

Hello all, this is your old friend Mushmouth, here with another enthralling edition of the blog.

First of all, let me start by saying that I am incredibly jealous of Kid Supreme's ability to easily venture into Providence and go to legitimate noise shows there. I hope to visit him at his University in the coming weeks, and perhaps we will document these days that are sure to be exceptional.

Secondly, I would like to fill you in on my weekend. I was stuck in the state of Connecticut...BUT! There was hope on the horizon! I Am Festival, a music festival that has taken place for the last few years in New London, Connecticut, once again "went down" (as the kids say) this weekend. I'm sure you're saying "So what, Mushmouth? Why does this interest me in any way?" Well, the reasons are threefold. Firstly, our friends Brava Spectre performed, and played a terrific set, with a new memeber whose name escapes me at the moment. Secondly, and just as importantly, one of our favorite bands, Oneida, played, and was all that I hoped them to be. I believe they played all of their new album 'Preteen Weaponry', as well as a few other songs. Finally, a new favorite of mine, Jay Reatard, closed the festival. His set was rambunctious and energetic, juts as I had heard it would be. Also as I had heard, he had a short fuse, and walked off stage when a mic cable got lodged in his hair, ending the set. As my friend Dr. Drazen so eloquently put it, "all the kings horses are over there trying to get it out", and indeed, it seemed like Jay Reatard was surrounded by people trying to remove this mic cable from his hair. The bassist in his band (and I suggest at this point you google Jay Reatard band or Jay Reatard Bassist to get an idea of who I'm talking about) took this as an opportunity to come back out onstage, pants nowhere to be found, and take off his shirt, wearing just his skivvies. A very entertaining night.

So, as you can see, Connecticut wasn't the shit show it normally is this weekend, as we imported a few bands from elsewhere to entertain us, and took advantage of one of the few good things happening in CT (that'd be you, Brava) as well.

As this blog comes to a close, let me once again say, the lost vlog will still be put up. Yours truly just needs to do some fine tuning, and then all will be well, and it will expose itself to the world. ALSO, WE HAVE SOME BIG NEWS COMING YOUR WAY. WE JUST HAVE TO NAME IT.

Think on that.


LLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEE YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!

Noise Noise Noise

Hello everybody, Kid Supreme signing in. Last night I had the opportunity to get better acquainted with the Noise Rock scene of Providence, RI and I have to say I was extremely impressed. The show at a venue called AS220 which is a huge proponent for the arts in Rhode Island and to my understanding put on a lot of shows that feature Noise bands. Last night had two bands from New York and two bands that are local to the area. The two bands from New York were Talk Normal and Red Dawn II. Talk Normal was the last band that played, but was nonetheless really good. It is a twice piece band, a guitarist and a drummer. Something interesting that I found while watching this band was that the guitarist had a very similar playing style to yours truly, none other than Kid Supreme. The other band was a more Punk Rock oriented Noise band known as Red Dawn II. If you're familiar with films you would know that Red Dawn is a war film that was once recognized as the "most violent movie ever." Their band name is a reference to that violent war film and many of their songs were about horror films. They too were a two piece band, a guitarist and a drummer. The other two acts were local to the Providence area and both were a "one man band." One of the acts is called Lazy Magnet and was really interesting because he used live tape manipulation and if you know me you'd know that Mission of Burma is one of my personal favorites and to get to see something that was a part of their band was fantastic. The first "band" that played was a man that called himself Sky Jelly. He used a lot of loops and was really fun to see live. I actually had a chance to speak with him after the show and bought one of his demo's.
It's really great to see that Noise bands finally have an opportunity to get bigger. For all of you music history buffs, you know that Noise bands have been trying to make it since the 70's. Overall, I'd say it's safe to say that Noise music is here to stay. This fact is very comforting because many of the bands that played (specifically Talk Normal) have a very similar quality to The Bridal Shower.

Much Love,
Kid Supreme

P.S. Just remember that it's Noise because Indie Rock is for pussies.

Not a Vlog, but Instead a Blog

Hello faithful denizens of BridalShowertopia, this is Kid Supreme and I am here to bring you all up to speed. As you already know I have started classes and things are going quite well, but what you didn't already know is that Mushmouth too has started classes.
I don't think we've mentioned yet that we do have a show coming up, of course not for a while as it is October 27th. Details are a little foggy, so we'll mention more about this once we attain more information. What I do need to tell you is that it is being put on by a fabulous band, I recommend you listen to if you haven't already, known as Brava Spectre.
In other news I have actually met a few people here at University who also play music. One such band is called Watergate and are an interesting Latino/Jazz band with rapping vocals over the music. I advise you to check out their myspace, they only have one instrumental up currently, but it is a very good song.
While I am on the topic of music, I figure I should introduce our faithful of some bands I have only recently heard about and if you haven't already you should definitely listen to. The Dead Science has a third album out entitled Villainaire, fantastic album and I'm hoping to hear their earlier work as well. The Dead Science is a very interesting experimental pop band, I am currently having a difficult time thinking of bands that are similar. Another band is Truckasauras with (I believe it is anyway) their debut album Tea Parties, Guns & Valor. Really cool Chiptune music, they used circuit bent instruments (hey! that's like us!) like gameboys and some unconventional instruments like the Commodore 64, which I have always wanted to use as an instrument. There is also a classic Noise act known as Skullflower. The album I have is called Desire For A Holy War, it's very good and obviously has influenced many noise bands that will come later on and bands that have influenced The Bridal Shower. Upon listened to this album I have come to the conclusion that Shit and Shine has drawn a lot of influence from Skullflower. The last band I want to talk about is Bardo Pond with their album Bufo alvarius, amen 29:15. Wonderful Space Rock/Shoegaze album, another important band that has likely influenced so many bands that have had an impact on Mushmouth and I as musicians.

So, here ends another blog, sorry it couldn't be a vlog but I do not possess that kind of technology at the moment.

Much love,
Kid Supreme

P.S. And as a final note I just witnessed an Asian kid in the bathroom with no pants on looking at himself in the mirror. It was a fucked up.

Recording In Philly: The Photos (pt. 1)

Here we have our first night in Philly. Arriving late in the evening, we walked around, got some Wawa iced tea, got hassled for change, and practiced in our friend and engineer Jeff's basement. Enjoy!

Its been a while, no?

At least it seems that way. We have most of the songs for our album mixed. They still need to be mastered...? We've been writing like fiends. Almost every time we practice (more or less every other day) we write a new song. We'll be pumped to record our new material, and incredibly pumped to release what we've recorded. Pictures should be up soon from our recording sessions at Drexel.

The First from Me

Hello all,
I know how much you all have been anticipating when I (Kid Supreme) would write my first blog, but wait no longer because here it is.
Last night we, with our friend Deeno, went to Cambridge to see Atlas Sound at the Middle East. We arrived an hour early and had some food to eat then proceeded to wait in the rain, which wasn't necessary because we were three of eight people attending said show. Anyway, we get inside and hang out for a while waiting for the show to begin and we decided it was time to pass out some more free demo/EP's, so we did. During this passing out of free demo/EP's we met what I assume will be our future best friends UNUNI, who we may be playing a show with if they get back to us, which would be fantastic. After we met our future best friends we waited around a while longer only to find out that Atlas Sound was detained in Montreal or some part of Canada due to those Canadians and their savage ways. Oh wait, did I mention that the other headlining band El Guincho had dropped out of this tour a week prior. So instead of sticking around and watching some bands we never heard of we passed out a few more demo/EP's, got our money back and proceeded to walk around Cambridge and Boston. Eventually Mushmouth led us to an excellent Mexican restaurant where we devoured Mexican cuisine and watched the people look at how attractive we are. After we were bored and a little upset about not being able to see Atlas Sound we decided to drive home and on the way stopped at a rest stop where we would play a quick game of Gauntlet.

Until next time my lovelies,
Kid Supreme (of The Bridal Shower)

We had a strange number of demos/EPs, so we decided to make a few special.

Monday night, Kid Supreme and I went to Cambridge to see No Age, High Places, Abe Vigoda, and Palm perform at the Middle East. We gave out all of the demos/EPs we brought (30?), and succeeded in giving a copy to at least one member in each band. I got my act together and asked the girl from High Places if she would accept one, which was very intimidating for me. It felt like asking that girl you've had your eye on for a while on a date.

Regardless, they were amazing, and a lot more danceable than I ever remember them being.

Palm, the opening act, was super nice when I talked to him about his (stellar) set and our demo.

Abe Vigoda...holy shit, Abe Vigoda. Amazing. Amazing. Kid Supreme and I both thought that they were fucking phenomenal, and I loved the fact that they were (partly) Latino. Abe Vigoda + The Bridal Shower, reppin bands that have some Hispanic members, yo. Plus, the drummer and guitar player were both great guys and took a demo/EP.

No Age, once again, blew me away live. Dean was talking to the crowd while they were setting up, so I asked him if he wanted a copy of our recording. He accepted, and told me I better go nuts when they played, which I definitely did.

Thanks to all the bands for being stupendous, as well as really nice for taking a demo/EP from some kids in some band that you've never heard of! Also, thanks to everybody in the crowd who took one, and hopefully enjoyed/is still enjoying it!

hello, then...

Welcome to the first installment of The Bridal Shower's blog. We'll be sure to keep up to date with our doings and goings on. Let us begin by quoting our first (and only) myspace blog (r.i.p. myspace blog):

"Hello there, [Mushmouth] of The Bridal Shower. We would just like to update everybody on our current efforts.

About a month ago, [Kid Supreme] and I decided we wanted to start a band. We thought, "Why not try to just make music as a two piece?", and thus began the saga known as The Bridal Shower. The project was named rather quickly, and we played our first show a week after deciding we were a band. Songs came quickly, and while talking to one of our friends, Jeff, he mentioned he could record us for free in an actual studio. Of course, we jumped at the offer, and wrote between 10-15 songs before leaving last Friday for Philadelphia. We ended up recording 17 tracks, and are going to release a) a free demo with a few of our favorite songs, and b) an album called 'Libation Bearers', which should be ready in the coming weeks.

On the way home from Philadelphia, we talked about how interesting an acoustic version of one of our songs would be. This lead to us recording our 5 song 'Acoustic EP' a few days ago, which we will be releasing soon, as well.

We look forward to what the coming months bring us, and hope to hear from our listeners!"

This was dated Saturday, July 5th, 2008, which means it has been 10 days (or a little more than one week) since we posted that.

love,
still Mushmouth.

Lovelies
