I am holding half an acre...

Fancy seeing you here! Sorry I've been MIA kids (if anybody still checks this page, that is). Just wanted to let everybody know that we'll be all over the area this summer. Please head to the tour section of candidmusic.com for all your chances to catch us in the next few months. For those waiting for new music, I'm trying desperately to get some ideas to the point where I'm comfortable presenting them to the "jury." If I can get my act together then hopefully we'll have some surprises to drop on you at our upcoming gigs. In the meantime please feel free to shout at me here. You can also find us at myspace.com/misinterpreter, as well as at our emails or IM monikers (which aren't hard to dig up). So to those of you who might stumble across this we hope to see you soon! And to those of you that aren't still checking this blog, this will be of much less help to you...

You Can't Draw Hands

Hello again, Syracuse. Candid will finally be back in the area tomorrow night (9/29) at Mac's Bad Art Bar in Mattydale. SAMMY Award Winners Razberi Sumthing will be opening the show at 10, and we should be on around 11:30. Stop out and have a few cocktails with us and our favorite black velvet portrait of Hulk Hogan! It's been too long. (No, it's not for sale)

Harbor Pest

For those of you wondering about our Inner Harbor gig in Syracuse this Thursday, here are the gory details. The whole thing runs from 6 to 10. Supergush (www.supergush.com) will be opening the show, and I believe there is another band after them. We'll be going right around 8. The music is weather-permitting, but the NASCAR-sized beer cans are rain-or-shine. Also, the water is supposed to be off-limits, but should you happen to leave your better judgement at home, I would recommend radiation suits and asbestos swimmies as appropriate diving gear. I love this town!

A Tough Act to Swallow

Just a quick reminder to all you Rochesterians – this Saturday night we are the opening act at Milestones, so when we say 10 o'clock, we're not yanking your crank. Presumably we will be starting promptly at 10, with Hassan Chop finishing up the evening. Please pass this info on to anybody you think might be interested. What the hell - tell everybody you talk to. Maybe a night of rock and booze is exactly what Aunt Betty needs. See you there!

Angry Villagers

For all of you downstaters that like to get on our jocks about never playing in NYC - we're finally coming back your way. This Friday we'll be at Lion's Den on Sullivan St. in Manhattan (visit http://www.cegmusic.com/lionsden for directions and other info). We should be on around 11:30, but there will be music all night starting at 7:30, so come early and buy me a drink. Or just give me the cash, which should just about cover the down payment on that jet I've been looking at. Whichever you decide, we hope you'll join us for a fun night in the city. It's been much too long. And who knows? Play your cards right and we might give you a ride home (parachutes sold separately).

Practice makes so-so

So which one of you is just dying to have us come rehearse in your basement? We're housebroken (with a couple of exceptions) and don't eat much. Drinking is another story...

Curse of the Candido

As some of you may have heard, Club Tundra here in Syracuse has recently fallen into the evil clutches of people that are actually interested in making real money (read: not live music). Pretty lousy idea if you ask us. You start making more than an average living, and before you know it, you're Bill Gates. Who the hell would want their hair to look like that? Not me, that's for damn sure. On a more serious note, the closing of Club Tundra brings the total number of establishments that Candid has single-handedly driven into the ground up to a staggering 217. This is an unofficial total at the moment, as the people in our statistics department can't seem to agree on whether the band was actually solely responsible for the fall of Fay's or Chase Pitkin. Nonetheless, we feel confident in our abilities to bring any business that shows so much as a glimmer of hope crashing to earth in a flaming wreck. Which brings me to the pitch. In an effort to recoup some of the cashflow we'll be missing, we are offering all-time low rates on curses. Tired of that Wal-Mart sign blazing at all hours through your bedroom window? Had enough of the Neil Diamond nightmare blaring from the karaoke bar across the street? Sick of that punk kid Joshua moving in on your lemonade stand territory? You know who to turn to. Give us a call today to set up a free consultation. What have you got to lose?

Candid. What goes up, must come down. Fast.®


Please note: Due to unchecked discrimination in American commerce and some really shitty luck, our credit and business accounts are shot. Therefore we can no longer accept checks or credit cards. All payments must be made in cash, booze, or adult book store gift certificates (the corner gas station that sells Hustler doesn't count). Thank you.
