Hey babies,
It is a little known but unguarded fact that the Test Tube Casanova Brigade meets every weekend to have practice in Rob's basement. We have either 2 or 3 consecutive practices and then venture back to our respective domiciles. I sleep on the couch. It's the good life. I have musical instruments, a big couch, and Mrs. D likes to cook and is tolerant of strange objects and individuals appearing in her basement. I often find myself alone, sipping beer in this strange and beautiful oasis of sound and what is most likely mold. Let's hope that isn't too bad for the lungs.
We're working on new songs this weekend. Look out for our upcomming gigs!
Jun 24: Goodbye Blue Monday(21+) w/Xenia Rubinos, Voladores and Wet T-shirt Contest(the band) Brooklyn, NY
Jun 27: Somerville YMCA(All ages) w/The Juxtaposers, The Retrotones, On Display, Old Fashioned Oyster Crackers, THE Knockout Theory [Trio], The Waffle Stompers Somerville, NJ

New Noise
Not only an excellent track but basically a summery of what we've been doing for the past several weeks of the summer.
Keep your ears open for more twists, turns, and musical explorations! (put your own meaning on that one.)
We think they sound cool, we hope you will too. See you soon NYC
and then, of course, the homeland.
love you babies

More news, updates, and moving forward
Hey babies,
So hopefully people will start downloading the COLD FEET EP and spreading the new gospel because ULTRA-SOUND, our debut release, is NO LONGER BEING PRESSED(or copied... whatever).
Ultra-Sound was released in 2007 to a bunch of kids moshing in/around sally's garage after killer sets by Big Joe and The Shades and Jeff-X. This album stressed our hearts and our wallets and took at least one casualty in the writing process, which was basically our entire time at highschool. The album was characterized by the wild and frantic playing of former lead guitarist Josh Boehm, who has long since walked on home and accented by the yelling of Dan Flynn. The record also showcases the talents of Rob Drumm on both percussion and accordian. Ultra-Sound is fun and we'll always love it but it's time to move on to bigger and better things.
and now I'll leave you with fun pictures:

Aug 6: City Ale House(might be 21+) w/ City Under Siege Danbury, CT
Aug 7: Hotel Vernon(all ages) w/ Sparrow Worcester, MA
So that's our summer line-up as of now. I'm not really sure if the community center is gonna happen and the Somerville show's opener has changed a couple times already so be on the look out for updates on those shows as well as more shows being added and alterations to the 21+ status of shows, times etc.
Welcome to Rockland Fest has potential to be pretty cool. Last fest they got some big name bands like Big D and the kids table, Patent Pending, Catch 22 and Kiss Kiss. If you haven't heard this band, please give them a listen and tell them to get on the fest again, that'd be fun. Tickets for this supposed to be $12 bit we're gonna sell them for $6 or $8... haven't decided.gotten them yet. Normally The Brigade is against pay to play but this just seems like a good time and it's our first show with "fest" after it. Let man live a little.
Also, tonight there will be a post with our new T-shirt design. They're gonna be $8 bucks. If you want one of our hand-made run we're gonna have them at our next show for cheeeeeaaaap($3).
And finally, "Ultra-Sound", our debut release, is out of print. NO MORE COPIES WILL BE MADE. We'll have them at the shows for $4 and once they're gone... it'll be on itunes. But we're probably gonna stop paying for that too, so don't say we didn't warn you!

Shifting gears just a bit...
...to the band!
So, i started this to write about reviews and basically to pass a class at school. Now that the class is over and I have a band of my own(and no one has read this blog yet...) I'm going to use this as the new test tube blog.
Oh you'll get the works people. Pictures, Show updates, links to demo's and ep's and videos oh my!
So! that being said, here's your first download:
The Cold Feet ep
This is our latest release. Recorded at hilltop studios, this is gonna give you a good idea of the sound we're going for on the next record. These songs have been reworked a bit since the recording sesh and new recordings of these song as well as new material will be in circulation soon!
Here's to rockin!
