sing out and go bravely forward

so it turns out i like using this page more than myspace. is it just me or is myspace kind of confusing to use? not sure if people look at this. but thought id write a little note anyway.

we are playing two shows this month (october); check out the upcoming shows section to the right. then we'll be taking november off to write more new songs! we'll be playing one of the new ones this weekend at the show at the marvelous. im pretty excited about it. its called "the gunpowder is at your house". we also will be playing an alternate version of our song cat and dog in memory of Tyler Clementi, the young gay man from Rutgers University, who committed suicide shortly after a video of him in bed with another person was streamed by his roommate over the internet. cat and dog was written when i came out; i was struggling to understand how my sexuality could actually affect the way people felt about me. we dont play it quite as much any more but with some new words in the verses, it feels very relevant to the times.

it was not for you, not for you, not for you. it was not for you, not for you, not for you.

welp drop a line if you ever want to get in touch. our email address is trophywifetheband@gmail.com

also we have a new record that we put out on 307 knox records. it is HERE.

also some folks have written some nice things about our new record. it feels really amazing to know that people have listened to it and are excited about what katy and i are doing. so for people who have supported our band, written about it, come to shows, bought a record or shirt, thank you. xoxo
