Stewart now on Garageband.com!

Are you bored? Do you love us? Do you want to find yet another way to discover new and interesting music?

Then please check out our new profile on garageband.com! For all those who haven't been there, it's a fun way to make your opinion count, "where you can not only discover great music but also influence which artist will become tomorrow's hit." And also to be nice, honest, and/or mean to people you don't know. Good times! :)

We're listed as "Stewart (NYC)" because some bastards from Missouri already took Stewart... Nah, just kidding. (I mean, they did take it, but I don't know if they're bastards...)

Here's the link:

Thanks everybody!!! You're the best!

Love,
Stewart

September 12th @ The Continental

Thank you so so so much to everyone for coming out to the see the show tonight! And thank you to all the other great bands, especially our new friends Face First, Skelter, Phosphates, and Maybe the Welders, and all the amazing things you said! Wow. Seriously, wow.

I REMEMBERED THE WORDS TO LONGEST TIME!!! All of them. Ha ha!!! So there! I knew I knew them... I would just get nervous or distracted or something and then forget. But not tonight! Ha ha. Yay! :) That made me happy.

What can I say? That was just the perfect end to all our experiences at the Continental. We felt great. You were all great. Greatness and drink tickets, what more can you ask for out of life?

I guess that's all I have to say really. I'm so completely humbled by this whole experience that I'm speechless...

Set List:
-Try So Hard
-Don't Look Back (Ice Scream Song)
-Guiltless
-Longest Time (Ha! *grin*)
-Stuck In My Head

September 9th @ The Pussycat Lounge

This might not make any sense because it's 5 o'clock in the morning and way past my bedtime. So be it.

I've been wanting to do this show for a long time because I wanted to see what it felt like. I wanted to see how it was different and see how far we've come. The last time we played Pussycat was the first time we played ever, and it's so funny to think how much has changed since then and to see how those changes have manifested in the band and who we are and how far we've come.

I remembered getting lost last time- VERY lost. Pussycat is super easy to get to by subway, but a bitch by car. I remember driving around downtown with Joe in the rain listening to classic rock and driving forever and ever down countless one way streets all headed in the wrong direction. This time I only made one wrong turn. Progress.

I was the first one there. I unloaded, listened to Cementhead (who are awesome by the way, very poppy, but very cool,) and set up our most grandiose merch table yet. After them and before us was a solo artist by the name of "Tah phrum da bush" (Pronounced: "Tai from the bush." I think.) He was a free style artist with a DJ and lovely woman named Demo assisting him. This dude was amazing. Quite the show. I don't know what it is about strip clubs, but they bring out the potty mouths in people. :)

Speaking of which, Saysha and I wore as little as possible in honor of the occassion. Y'all missed quite the outfits if you weren't there. :) And afterwards John and Frankie went downstairs to check out the strip club, but came back in less than 20 minutes. I don't think they were impressed.

I really wasn't kidding when I said, "I forgot all our songs," right before we went on. :) I think most of the set went amazing and I think my mistakes were my favorite part. Right? I guarantee none of you will forget me forgetting all the words to For The Longest Time. Yet again. Seriously- next time, I'm fucking taping the fucking words to the fucking floor. Seriously. *grin*

I think this was probably the most fun I've ever had playing a show in my entire life. Just because. Having all of you there, seeing everybody having such a good time- it was amazing. This show and June 15th at the Continental, (the night we got our tatoos), those have been my two favorite shows yet. Thank you so much everyone for coming out and making all this possible. We really do love you!

I will post some pictures up here in a little bit. After I consult with the rest of the band as to what is appropriate and what's not. We had WAY too much fun with my digital camera after the show. WAY too much fun. :)

We're playing again Tuesday night at the Continental for one of their farewell shows. It's an early one, 8:30 PM, and we're only playing 5 songs, but it's still going to be fun. Come by and help us say good bye.

Set List:
-Stuck In My Head
-Don't Look Back (Ice Scream Song)
-Princess
-This Happens
-Six Degrees
-Guiltless
-Longest Time (HA!)
-Try So Hard
