"We do this all because we have to not because we know why...Nosferatu?"
Its good to be back home.I missed all of my friends so much.The tour was one of the most amazing surreal experiences of my life but honestly one of the best. Ive waited my whole life to do that and it was everything I couldve imagined and most what I couldnt. Thanks to Chris,Sammy,Brad and Ricky for having me on board.It was an honor and a pleasure.Darling Czar is not done as practice commences on Thursday. I do believe that there will be some great new music and some unexpected twists coming from both camps. AWESOME. This really sealed the deal tho...I always knew I was down for music but I am IN. I am pretty much going to do nothing but write,play,get better on guitar and GO. I truelly believe that I was born to do this.So lets wrap a couple chords around it and let it come out. The future is looking great and I am looking forward to it.I got to play music across the USA and come home to a warm welcome to my loved ones. Banner life.
Things I learned on the road...
The Hooligan produces smellsI never thought possible..
Vans slip ons are not good in the snow.
I didnt think I could take more vitamins or "be" healthier but obviously I can.
Vegas really is for high rollers and oxygen bars are actually really rad.And they take stealing bananas from the buffet very seriously.
130 some hours in a van is a long ass fucking time.Good thing we all smelled so good.
South Dakota,Wall-Drug,Rockabilly and Pyschos,sinusitis,elevations,sleeping in the "casket",waking up in a blizzard,Deer from Montana, and losing your drum key every 15 minutes sucks.Hard.
Crazy Matt is crazy no matter what state he is in.Happy Easter Bunny Rabbit Cowboy.
Being poor and eating healthy gas station and fast food does not exist.
If you are an aging guitarist and you look like Yosemite Sam do not call out other bands and be arrogant, as you are already a self parody and a joke that doesnt need told.Your existence is funny enough.
Brad has never tuned his bass.I thought they were kidding.
Dean the sound guy at The Filling Station is the best sound guy ever and made my kit sound like I was Shouting at the Devil.As did Middletucky.Much respect.
Slim Pickens kicks ass!! The MIGHTY Slim Pickens scares me.
The lunchlady in our GPS smokes Mistys,drinks Bourbon and hates us.
Junkies in Seattle did not ruin that amazing city but tried and know how to pick a lock. Mother Fuckers.
Playing orignal music to a packed house or nobody is a reason to live and always the best thing ever.
"She was a damn good dancer but she wasnt all that great of a girlfriend..."
I apologize to anyone who I may have ignored,let down,not been there for,or brought stress on in some way by means of learning a very hard lesson. Maybe the hardest Ive yet to learn. I love my friends.They are my family to me. They are everything to me.Thats what makes my world go around. I normally have pretty good radar.Ive finally faced my own demon.Im the first one to say in advice to not pay rent to a slumlord. I guess I had to stop MYSELF. I believe in people,good and the fact that everyone has something to offer.But enough is enough.some people get IT,some people dont. Id like to think Im a pretty good person.I try my best to love and do what I can and make the best decisions I can. I believe when shit gets bad learn from the lessons you got served and go on wiser and for the first time ever maybe I let down my defenses for many reasons and learned the hard way Im better then whats been given to me. Ive got tons of people in my life who I love and know how to love me back...Beach and Brewster RockCity Punks,My family forever Jordo,Kim,Rob,Michelle,Justin and Mary,My Canton familia from Dennys to Friendlys,the best roomate ever Stephy and the people that came with her,My musical brotherhood,Jeff,JC,Chuck,Sammy,Billy,Joey,The Losers and Old Glory camp,a friend Id thought Id lost who is happier now then Ive ever seen her and got me banana twins to welcome me home,Ms.Miller, my sister and best friend who Id be fucked without,from 42nd St. to Tennessee,California,Ravenna,Jersey,Iraq,Minerva and back again.Talk is cheap and it doesnt mean much. AINT NOBODY GOT A BLESSING LIKE MINE. My everyday proof is my life and I in a way have forgotten that and let somethings consume me.Fuck that and FUCK the negative. To those who are thankful for me I could never put into words how much your friendship means to me. Ohio sucks but Ive got the finest on my team. I love you all and cant wait to see you.Were in this together.I said all this because it was in my heart to say it. Cheers on it.
"No sleep til April!!!!!!"
Please if you havent signed up yet online you CANT WALK!!! I am super stoked about the MS walk. Its turning something shitty into a positive which Ive never been good at but think I am learning to do better everyday.Summer is soon and I cant wait!!.Road trips,shows,sunny weather,late night outside smoking conversations!!! FUCK yes!!!
The future is exciting and I cant wait for tomorow. Come what may I am amped.I missed Gaslight and Morrissey...eh.... but...I have been writing alot lately and hope that very soon I''ll be singing my heart out again. Cheers everyone.
"Dont spend your life paying rent to a slumlord."
Later on!!!!!!

    Well once again it has been forever since I posted on here... we have been playing our asses off over late winter and spring and now we are heading into summer! The Curse of the Valentine tour in February was  a big success and more fun than should be legal!  It was to support the release of our first 7 inch on Midwest Superfriends Records and man it was crazy!!! We played in Chicago on WLUW Radio RAZOR AND DI SHOW, played a completely insane drunken show in Mt Pleasant Mi with FULL FRONTAL LOODITY and ROBOTS ON CRAC ( I got cracked ribs at that one!), then back to Chicago for a packed house at The Mutiny in support of the amazing REGRETS!
    We have been hitting our hometown hard and have made a bunch of great friends that we didn't know beforee... some other great bands we have played with... the always wonderful COWBOY MESSIAH, DARLING CZAR, 52 DECIBELS, THE DEVIANTS, CATALYST, RDA, MORS ONTOLOGICA, Tim Pak's new band THE BUDGET SINNERS, BIXY LUTZ, PIPELINE, THE EMERALD LIZARDS etc.
  We also recorded a cover song by the classic punk/blues band THE GUN CLUB!!! The song we did was SEX BEAT and it will be released on a tribute album on Ghost On The Highway Records later this year (I think Halloween :)). Tommy from COWBOY MESSIAH graciously stepped in to play drums on it for us.
   We played a show in Blacksburg Virginia with the awesome 52 DECIBELS that was so sparsely attended that the dicks at the bar shut u down before midnight. We made up for it by going completely insane at our hotel rooms all weekend. Brad didnt sleep at all and got a rather fitting tattoo with our super roadies Dalin and Sammy.
    This July is going to be lots of fun too! July 4th we are playing in downtown Canton with our great friends COWBOY MESSIAH. Then July 18th we are recording a live album at Sadie Renes in Canton to hopefully be released in late fall. Also playing that night will be two amazing bands that we adore, MATT WOODS PLAN A BAND from Knoxville Tennessee and the awesome TWO COW GARAGE from Columbus!!! This should make for one helluva n evening!!!
   Then July 24th we are hitting Columbus, July 25th record store appearance in Louisville Kentucky in the day and then playing at MAG BAR in Louisville that night!!! Then the next day July 26th, we are playing Manhattans in Knoxville Tennessee with MATT WOODS PLAN A!!! Whew!! Should be an awesome trip!!!
   Well I think that catches us up for now.... hope to ee you at some shows!!!
- Chris
   
   

Where to begin? We kicked off November with a cool show at the Village Inn in Canton opening for PIPELINE. Brad got into a fight outside of the bar and the P.A. system was kinda bad but it was a fun show none-the-less. The PIPELINE guys are old friends of Joe’s and treated us great!!! Next we traveled to Altavista Virginia at Lucky’s Irish Pub for the first time to play with 52 DECIBELS and man, those are some really fun people! The guys in 52 DB’s, J.P. and Zeb are two downright awesome fellas! We had a GREAT show and JP played a couple songs with us even. Virginia is a gorgeous state in the Fall with so many beautifully colored trees and leaves it was almost driving through a painting. We had wonderful journey. Thanks to JP, Zeb and their families for the awesome treatment and for all the fine food and awesome partying! Ya’all rawk in our hearts! Next was a great show at Sadie Rene’s the night before Thanksgiving where we drank like kings and were pleased to open for a great, great punk band called THE DEVIANTS (they even played an OPERATION IVY song for me) and our new metal friends in CATALYST. The day after Thanksgiving we were off to the great white Northj to Mount Pleasant Michigan to play with our good friends FULL FRONTAL LOODITY (who I might add have one of the best robot love songs I have ever heard). We had a late start and then ran into some rough traffic which made us even later but we finally rolled into the frigid town of Mt Pleasant around 11pm and quickly loaded in and set up at RUBBLES BAR. We quickly discovered that we had left Joe’s bass drum pedal and his sticks behind which really bummed things. It was not our greatest performance but we sliced our way through about 6 songs and then we turned on the rock full force, played 6 more and ended the set with Joe’s drums layin’ around the stage. Thanks to the FFL guys for letting us borrow some equipment and thanks to our new good friend Chris for giving us a place to stay, many beers and saki to drink and some darn fine music to listen to. People in Mt Pleasant are awesome. We spent the following night with Chris and his friend Jessica at Frankies in Toledo watching yet another awesome TWO COW GARAGE show. The new drummer for those guys is amazing and we wish them the best of luck in Europe . In all… a very eventful two weeks that we can’t wait to do again!!

Man, we have been playin' some really fun shows lately!!! Our new drummer Joe Waller has reinvigorated the spirit of The LOSERS and now it feels like we can't be stopped! We will be playing alot of shows over the next few months so we hope to see ya'll out there at them, having fun and pounding beers and many shots! We just played an awesome show at Ruby Tuesday in Columbus with labelmates ROBOTS ON CRACK. The show was so much fun and we were treated GREAT by the bar and the ROBOTS! The highlight of the evening was the drunk asshole that got all pissed off at A.J. from ROBOTS about some silly/funny comment he made about Dimebag Darrell... the dude was irate and it was truly hilarious. As usual there was alot of Twinkie tossing going on whic=h made for lotsa fun...not to mention the after party when the bar was just giving us free beer and drinks!!!! WAY COOL!!! About a month before that we played at ANDREWS BAR in Ypsilanti, Mi with the ROBOTS and COWBOY MESSIAH and it was ssssooooo much fun!!! We love that place. We will be heading to the Woodshed in Feb/Mar to start recording our sophomore album with a tentative release date of June...maybe sooner..we'll see what happens. Thanks to all of you for yer continued support and for comin out to the shows and gettin down and dirty rowdy with us!!!! You all deserve awards!

The show was at ANDREWS BAR in Ypsilanti, MI. The bands COWBOY MESSIAH and ROBOTS ON CRACK were sweetly borderline insane. The crowd was drunk and screaming the words. ANDREWS is one of our new favorite places to play. It was the debut of our new drummer Joe Waller. He was amazing and bashed the fuck out of his drums just like a true LOSER. If you were'nt there...well you shoulda been.... it was classic and not the least bit classy.  Brad brawled with some dudes later that night... it was just like old times.

Paul Westerberg doin' the classic 'Mats song SWINGIN PARTY!

   Alright... I am gonna hve to start writing in this thing more often! I can't believe the last time I did was April! The time has been flying by. Well we had a great CD release party in April for the "JUST KILLER" EP. It was a rough night for us because we had a fill-in drummer, Thank you Scott! Then we went to Detroit at the end of April and played a rawking set at  the goth club, Mephistos in Detroit. Our good buddy Nick marko, who played drums on the EP, played with us. It was great because Nick is a powerful drummer and it made me and Brad play extra hard. It was yet another awesome weekend in Detroit and  I have never seen Tommy from COWBOY MESSIAH as drunk as he was at our hotel room later that night!!! Plus Brad puked all over the bathroom! HA! HA! It was definitely a fun-filled weekend. Thanks to Nikki and COWBOY MESSIAH for taking us to the Tigers baseball game too! 
   The past few months have been busy for me but definitely slow-going for the band. We signed on with new Canton based record label, MIDWEST SUPERFRIENDS and have tried a bunch of drummers out but none have wanted to commit to our "rigorous" schedule. So we are basically still ina state of limbo, searching for the right person. Hopefully we will find someone soon and get back to rocking your asses off. If anyone knows a drummer who might be interested please let them know about us and contact us here via email or something. We have the bulk of our second album written and just need a drummer to come and blast us off!
  On a different note, I recorded a solo album in the Spring with the help of Tim Pak and Brad. It was something that I needed to do. I was going through a pretty shitty time and all it seemed I could do was write sad songs. Originally I brought'em to Brad as LOSERS songs but we both decided we didn't want a buncha sad ass LOSERS songs so I decided to record a solo album. It turned out pretty good and the MIDWEST SUPERFRIENDS label is releasing it very soon. It will be available here on the site and a buncha other places. Aaron Geis designed some truly awesome artwork for it. It is definitely some cry in yer beer stuff so be forewarned.
   We are getting geared up to play the MIDWEST SUPERFRIENDS RAWK SHOWCASE at Sadie Rene's in Canton on Fri Aug 3rd. It should be a stellar evening. Some of the best bands that I know of will be there. So I hope ya'll will come out. i think that's about all for now.
Chris Out.

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted anything on here for a long time. My personal life has been in a state of massive upheaval the last few months and following on some strange parallel cosmic path, so has the band's. Everything in my life that has felt so solid for the last 3 1/2 years of my life is gone and I have felt very lost and unsure of myself. The only thing that has been here for me is God and music, and I have been writing a ton of songs (mostly sad ones) and thankfully God has been there to keep me from falling into the bottle. Todd has officially left the band. After  many months of trying to figure things out, that is what it finally has come down to. Todd is a talented drummer and we wish him the best. We are currently unsure of our status but we will be trying to figure things out soon. We will have some surrogate drummers at the LOOP show on April 14th and in Detroit at the end of the month. It will still be a rawkin' great time no matter what. Hope you'll all be there. As my Dad always says, "And this too shall pass."
Take Care,
Chris

Well we went to Detroit last weekend  for an awesome 2 night rawk out.  

Highlights... people we don't know singing our songs at Trixie's Coffee House as we played. 

The best quote of the weekend... (Andrew saying to J. from Cowboy Messiah), "The Losers say they have to play next. They are drinking at a second-band pace.":D 

Best song... Cowboy Messiah playing "EVEREST". My new fav off their cd! 

Best moment... Matt sitting in his underwear on the bed half passed out eating a buncha coneys and dripping them on his naked chest at 6 AM.

Amazing...  learning the  wild truth about the crazy and incredible life that J. from COWBOY MESSIAH has lived

 This was an awesome weekend for the MIDWEST SUPERFRIENDS.
