Hey everybody! We just done booked us a show for pretty much next week.
On July 3, we, the Boneless Children Foundation, being of sound, will be playing at San Francisco’s Make Out Room at 7:30 PM. Which is located at 3225 22nd St in San Francisco! Right the god damn there:

Yup, pretty much right there.
We’ll be playing with The Parents, who are a delightful band who appear to formerly have been called Fuck Fuck Riot, which I think deserves about as much cheers as “The Boneless Children Foundation,” truth be told. Though I like “The Parents,” too. Both are nice.
But so The Parents, yup - and they’ll play after us, and we’ll play before them, and the show starts at 7:30 pm, and we play first, so that means we play at 7:30 pm. And they play at 8:30 pm.
Yes, yes, a thousand times - YES! This is early. And it’s July 3. Which means you’re going to be celebrating probably anyway, since I mean whoah - thank god we’re not a member of the British Commonwealth, huh? Whoah. I mean, Canada? Pff. Right. Whatever, dude. I’ll show you a Canada.
But, so anyway - the point is, yes, I know it’s early. And that’s why it’s a great idea. Because you can just get the party started right away. [Emphasis mine]
So, come down, enjoy a drink, we’ll play some music, we’ll arm wrestle, Jon will show off his collection of dog tattoos, and I will fight you. [Legal Notice: No, I won't.]
It should be fun; I love that place, and it’s been ages. In fact, I think the time before last - which itself was easily a year ago - was the time that the sound guy thought I’d thrown a drink at him from basically across the room. Which I totally had not, though I will grant him that my story was very improbable - but true! We played, we finished, I hustled to get my amp & other gear off the stage, and my whiskey glass (1/3 full, I might add) was on the lower tier of their stage as I reached up to the upper tier to grab my amp, and I put my right foot right by the whiskey, and I just pivoted it - for real. Just pivoted it, and I obviously did something to pivot really, really strangely, because it ended up (a) rotated roughly one full 90 degrees in a counterclockwise direction, and (b) hitting that glass of whiskey, which rocketed off to my back-left (say, 8 o’clock from my perspective) at a surprising speed and smashed against the wall of the club, somewhat narrowly missing the sound guy who had just said something to me and proceeded to turn around and walk back to the sound mixing area. I guess he must’ve said something that had conveyed a dicky tone, because it made logical sense to him that I had just then hurled a glass at him. I don’t even remember; I was just hustling trying to get my shit done, and did particularly have time to take offense to anything just right then. Though I suppose I do recall he was being a general dick that night, and to all the bands.
I’m not fact checking this all right now; I’ll do so later, and we’ll see how thrillingly a greater level of detail adds to the story. So check back soon. Oh boy!
The long & short:
- Friday, July 3, at the Make Out Room. 3225 22nd St. San Francisco.
-The Boneless Children Foundation: 7:30 pm
-The Parents: 8:30 pm
-A full night of dancing to DJ business: directly post The Parents set.
So there you go. And thanks to The Parents for inviting us to play the show…
