Did You Know?

Well I haven't updated in forever. I don't know how many people actually read this. I dare not to guess. I've been pretty busy with school. So yeah. There that is. So yeah we have had a bunch of shows. Do I remember all the set lists? Nope. Did I take any pictures? Nope. I will try to be better next time but that is all I can offer. I will have many opportunities to make up for my mistakes (probably make more). We have a good amount of shows coming up. We have like almost one show a week it is pretty intense (some weeks two). We are working on new songs. So that’s cool.  Here are some of the flyers that we have so far.

LAG and THE FIRST EP

Dear friends,

I'm so behind we have had 3 shows already and i haven't updated. I will try my best to catch up. In the mean time as a gift I have uploaded the first EP. so here you can dowload it. Sorry it isn't labeled and stuff, I did it in a rush and I'm not too good with computers.

The Winter of Our Discontent

" Now is the winter of our discontent / Made glorious summer by this son of York" (Act1.Scene 1 Lines 1-2) 

In the case of the Boss Beats our "son of York" is actually two things. We have two shows coming up. The first being in Pomona at Angelo's on the 25^th of February. We have played there a few times before, in fact I believe our second show was there (In which we opened for the Cro-Mags. weird right?). Other bands that will be gracing our presence are Bodegas, The Meru, the Brain Burnerz, and almighty RUPTURES. According to this flyer it’s going to be a night of “Street-Core Ska” whatever that means, and Clockwork Orange I guess.  The next show is the following day on the 26^th to be honest I don’t know too much about this show so I will post a quote from the facebook that I assume Jackie wrote, “Saturday Feb 26th Come out and celebrate Joline & Lenny's Birthday Bash @ Characters in Pomona! Free Show with: Y.A.P.O., KROOKED DICK (with members of Tangwich), THE BOSSBEATS, HUNGRY ASS YOUTH, D.R.A., A.S.S.” A flyer should be forthcoming. Character’s is a bar so probably 21+.  The address is 276 East 1st Street, Pomona, CA 91766. This brings us to our next point.

            When Shakespeare wrote “son of York” it was a pun implying Richard’s brother Edward, him being the Duke of York and part of his emblem being the sun. The Boss Beats’ King Edward is Eric Miller. The comparison ends there though since we aren’t planning to murder his children to position ourselves as the king. This will be his debut show with us as our new drummer. We think you will be impressed. Eric has filled in as a guitarist on different occasions and if you have come to our shows before you’ve probably seen him, in the crowd, on the stage, always there to let somebody “borrow” his shit. Since we shall be debuting a new member we will possibly be debuting some new songs also.

Things that Happened

This blurry picture isn’t actually our crowd, but the crowd that was for Gambler’s Mark. That being said, I was there and our crowd was pretty much like that. I need to remember to take pictures. I’ve never been one for taking photographs. May I regress to the point at hand, the show was good. We played at around 9 and we were later joined by Ruben of Viernes 13. There were a few technically difficulties but it didn’t hinder our performance too much. Gambler’s Mark played well and watching Viernes was like seeing a dear old friend again. On a somber note this was Dylan Miller’s last show with us and all that agree that he pulled all the tricks. He is very talented and he will be missed. We have some shows coming in Feb. on the 25^th and the 26^th I believe featuring our new drummer Eric Miller. As soon as flyers appear they will be posted.

SETLIST:

1. Kings And Queens

2. Return to Spider-Skull Island

3. Only in my Mind

4. Bad Habits

5. Everybody get Together and have a Real Good Time (Without my Music I wouldn’t get by)

6. Riding the Coltrane

7. Get Movin’

Boss space Beats

Dear friends,

I present to you the Boss Beats blog. The triple B’s were unintentional but that is how things turn out sometimes. We started this mainly because of our dissatisfaction with facebook and myspace being the creepy old amusement park where only Scooby and the Gang would go. Future plans for this blog is to make available our EP and to give info about future shows and developments (new full length album. What?). We’ve been a band for a while now but it’s the dawning of a new era. We have a show on the 22^nd of January with Viernes 13 and Gambler’s Mark at the DawgHouse.

We think you are okay,

Ivan
