Hello world and elsewhere! This is the fingerwork of none other than Smoker (aka Smokestack Lightning, Smokey, Bob, etc). I am writing to you from a padded room deep within Punk Rock Payroll headquarters to bring you good news. We have been working long and hard to bring you a thrilling live show, the likes of which haven't been seen since Jon Bon Jovi headlined Madison Square Garden on May 5, 1988 9:00 PM EST. We have also been writing new music, which you may hear in the near future (if the price is right).

We've also done a bit of travelling in the past months. On the 20th of June, we went out to Evanston, IL to perform at the annual Custer Fair, which was a smashing success. Last week we went down to Harrisonburg, VA to play at Clementine Cafe. We had a wonderful time, and I had a Po' Boy sandwich that gave me that push I needed to bring the rocking to a maximum.

Anyways, what's most important right now is the fact that we are putting on a fantastic show on this Friday, July 23. It will be at the Blockley Pour House at 38th St and Chestnut St in Philadelphia, PA. The show also features two groups of friends that you may be familiar with: Toy Soldiers, The Dangerous Ponies, and an appearance by our new labelmates, The Armchairs. I can personally guarantee that Jay will be bringing it to the hole with his guitarfish and soaring vocals, Scooter will be serving us up with an almost unhealthy dose of facemelting solos, Matt will bodyslam you with bowel-shaking bass tones, Koof will trumpet us into the end zone ,and I will be swinging and hitting on the drums. Be there.

Much love,

Smoker
