another weekend update

the broads played a warehouse in Thomaston, CT last night... it was just us and another band, Formed From Anger [CT hardcore]... we had an awesome time, got through our set without really fucking up (despite all the alcohol we'd consumed beforehand) and had an awesome time. i said that twice totally on purpose because we had an awesome time. us broads love alcohol. yes sir. not that drinking alcohol in excess is a good thing to do, necessarily. although last night it seemed like a pretty good thing to do, to be honest with you. but we are in no way condoning the use of alcohol in the way in which we used it. we were bad broads. bad, drunk broads. oh well. we met some cool people, had a lot of fun and want to thank javier & jeff for helping us out with the show.

there are probably gonna be very embarrassing pictures and/or videos from last night's show, which we may or may not let people see depending on how embarrassing they are. we shall see. also, the broads would like to thank everyone in the town of Thomaston for not stealing the bag of alcohol we left in a snowbank. we appreciate it. sincerely.

next weekend [Saturday, 2/26/2011] we will be playing Snapper Magee's with At Long Last, Maybe Pete and the Hudson Falcons. we can't wait for this show, we love Snapper's. we're actually madly in love with Snapper's. for real. we draw little DAMN BROADS/SNAPPER MAGEE'S love hearts all the time on the fronts of our notebooks in class. it's weird. actually, that's a lie... we don't go to school. but if we did there totally would be little broads/snappers love hearts all over everything.

and, we know how much everybody likes our cock sparrer watch your back cover but we're going to start working on a new cover which we're pretty sure you guys will also like. possibly more than cock sparrer. we'll see. we're not telling anyone what the new cover is but we'll give you a hint. uh huh.

weekend update

here's a little update in the life of the broads, for those of you who care:

friday's show was awesome. we ended up playing an hour later than we'd planned (we went on at about 8:30pm... not too shabby) and we had a great time. we love our new songs and we couldn't wait to play 'em for you guys (and by you guys we mean everyone who goes out to shows) and we didn't even fuck them up, so that was a relief. not that we planned on fucking them up but you never know... when you're playing live there's always opportunity to have everything go to shit. all the bands on the show were awesome, all the people came out were awesome, and of course joaquin is THE MAN.

saturday's show was cool too... we played with the main street suits, the mcgunks and bobbie peru. they're all pretty rad bands - the mcgunks are cool dudes (who we were supposed to have a drinking contest with... maybe next time, if the alcohol is cheaper, or free. hah!), and the main street suits were lookin' pretty damn spiffy, what with all their suits and ties and such - we, on the other hand, looked like we'd been attacked by toxic valentines, or something like that (we were so obnoxiously pink and red that it crossed the line from funny to just plain wrong. but when you tell the broads they're gonna be playing a valentine's show, well, that's what you get.) we scared a lot of the nice, bar-going people away with our music... i'm starting to think we're getting too crass & abrasive to be playing bar shows. the other bands were nice to listen to. the broads, not so much. oh well.



Damn Broads! [aka "you fucking bitches"]



in other news, we found out that the folks from CT Scenic have got a little "crushipoo" on us, so that's cool. no, i take that back, that's awesome. we were way too excited when we found out that someone, some [insane] person (and i mean insane in the nicest possible sense of the word, only because anyone who's got a crushipoo on any of the broads has got to be out of their mind) wrote the word "crushipoo" in the same sentence as "damn broads". and not just that, mind you, but they used the word "crushipoo" to describe "damn broads". that's just crazy. and awesome. and we love it.

we wanna thank joaquin, javier, all the bands from friday & saturday night's shows, our bros (specifically andrew, robbie & zeke), and everyone who came out to the shows... you guys are awesome and we love you. if we could write you each a sappy & pathetic valentine's day card, we would. unfortunately we don't have your addresses or enough glitter to make all those cards so you're just gonna have to accept this written paragraph in our blog as your thanks.

so, thanks.

show tonight!

our first show of the new year... we're going on first (7:30pm, sharp) and are very excited to start playing again. we've got an awesome new set, new merch, new songs, and we are ready to rock the fuck out!

GIRL BANDS SUCK

if you're heard one song you've heard 'em all, they're all the fucking same
sappy love songs sung by riot girls that pierce your fucking brain
demanding respect although you know they're gimmicky as fuck
you may think it's hypocritical but i think girl bands suck

nobody wants to listen 'cos their music's fucking lame
they bitch about misogynists 'cos they're the ones to blame
"it's hard to get respect when you're stuck playing a boy's game"
nobody wants to listen to a bunch of fucking dames

their message of equality gets thrown right to the wind
the very moment that they're shown the easy way to get ahead
they'll keep singing songs of moving on and women's rights and shit
to an audience that's only there to see their ass and tits

do they care about the music or is that all just a front?
it seems to me their only talent is possession of a cunt
they complain of inequality but no one gives a fuck
you may think it's hypocritical but i think girl bands suck

nobody wants to listen 'cos their music's fucking lame
they bitch about misogynists 'cos they're the ones to blame
"it's hard to get respect when you're stuck playing a boy's game"
nobody wants to listen to a bunch of fucking dames

nobody wants to listen 'cos their music's fucking lame
they bitch about misogynists but they're the ones to blame
"it's hard to get respect when you're stuck playing a boy's game"
nobody wants to listen to a bunch of fucking dames!
