Hi y'all! We have departed dear old Minneapolis (late), and rocked Milwaukee (very late), and all is well! Our friend Corey made us amazing breakfast tacos (a chorizo mix, deep fried tortillas... yeaaah!), we've enjoyed Simpsons episodes, and now Mike Cranberry is doing the Mr. Burns walk at me! Argh!
So, if you're out there, east of here and south of here, maybe come see us? We're playing for the next two weeks, check out the tour dates on the right hand side of this page. Let's have a party like Wanda Jackson!
Also: CLONTARF! CLONTARF! CLONTARF!
Banda Macho!

Big Ol' News Dump For June
Hi everybody, first off we want to thank everybody who came to our shows at Grumpy's DT this May! You all rule the school, and now class is dismissed!
Now, on to the Big Ol' News Dump! Lots of things going on in Blue Diamond Land. First off, THE SECOND PRESSING OF PROMISES TO DELIVER IS NOW AVAILABLE! Oh, have we been waiting to announce that! You can order it online from Dead Broke Records and probably ADD Records, too. There are 100 on blue vinyl, and 100 on clear vinyl, so act now! Or reasonably soon. Anyway, this means you'll be able to buy them from us at shows, too, so why not come out to one or five?
Second item: much tour information is now up on the right hand side of this page! Scroll down to check out where we're going on our Cuando El Gato Duerme, Los Ratones Bailan Summer Tour. Look out, Northeast! Look out, Southeast! Look out, Midwest! All the venues are currently confirmed but one, and we're listing bands and other info as quickly as we can.
Here's a flyer you might see in the near future at your local fun spot:
Allright! Summer's here and the time is right for rock'n'roll in the streets, so look out for Blue Diamond Activity because it's happening! Party on!

Get Your Live Band Karaoke Requests In! (plus new link to cool article)
Hey everybody, the Grumpy's Residency is upon us. Every Saturday in May, we'll be rocking the side room downtown. Every night there are cool guests and friends and things going on. These residencies always kick ass! And they're always free. And they have beer. (The beer isn't free, but it's BEER.)
And the third Saturday, May 17th? LIVE BAND KARAOKE (hosted by noted local punk karaoke guy DJ Sinclair, infamous from his work at the Hexagon and the Seward Cafe)! Email three song choices to natopaisano@gmail.com, and we'll take a look and figure out which one works best for live band karaoke. Then we learn the song, and on Saturday May 17th, we become your band for that song! Trust me, it's way more fun than a little computer playing the music for you. Get your requests in now, because although we're not sure what the deadline is (it probably varies depending on how complicated the song is)... THERE IS A DEADLINE! The party starts when PerPlexed Fest (in NE Mpls) ends, around 10:30pm. Again, email song requests to natopaisano@gmail.com.
Last but not least, Nato is part of an article on Musician's Friend where a bunch of bands from across the stylistic spectrum talk about strange obstacles and events that have cropped up on tour. Click this link to read, it's good stuff: On the Road Again: Tips While Touring
See ya downtown, crazies!
