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)
Wizard needs food badly!

Demo/EP and what have you (also, four acts that are amazing live)
We recently finished our first batch of demos/EPs. Below, you can scope the finished copies, as well as some of the components of our two man sweat shop:
A myriad of demos, which we colored pretty randomly.
Each one is numbered, these from 1 to 48. 49 to ? soon to come.
Our spray painting area, after the process was complete.
The stencil used.
We had a strange number of demos/EPs, so we decided to make a few special.
The stack of them, next to the wonderful spray paint that cost too much money.
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.
