Our internet guru & band-member, PJ, has slipped into an irregularity in the fabric of time (pictured above) after trying to iron it out of his urban camouflage jumpsuit (unimaginable), so our regularly scheduled Single of the Month will be with you shortly.

For now, I might redirect your attention to some relatively deranged Beatles covers, originally recorded by Percolator (Helter Skelter) and myself (Matt) for our friends at the Aquabear Legion.

You should really check out their entire White Album Tribute Cover Album Thing…lots and lots gems, all free (Why Don’t We Do It In the Road, Honey Pie, Wild Honey Pie, Martha My Dear, Birthday…all must-listens)

Oh yeah, and we’re also still preemptively excited to be playing Martyr’s on Wednesday,  August 19 with our friend Sean’s band, Save the Clocktower.  $7 at the door!

Yeah. I know! It’s been a long time since Single Of the Month was updated. For a while, I contemplated putting a picture of Ben in that space. Then I decided that was amoral. Look, all I’m trying to say is: this – so…here. Single of the Month will resume starting March 1! Look for our newest tracks from our newest album, plus some tracks from our WLUW session way back in the month of January. Is “Good Tidings!” a proper farewell? I may have just made that up.

Percolator’s happy to announce that we’re playing 2 shows very soon…at the Darkroom on the 16th, and the Subterranean on the 18th.  Check our shows page, or our myspace page for more info.

It seems we’ve neglected to post a new Song of the Month!  Ack!  Well, now’s the perfect time to catch up on the past 4 months of Singles of the Month (over on the right there…with the player & links & whatnot).  All are available for download (in .zip files…don’t let that scare you) for a limited time…so be quick and snatch up that gravy.

In other news, the band is starting to write and illustrate a comic strip to be featured on this page at a later date.  The basic jist being that a wildly successful (and overly verbosely philosophical) french chef tires of the snobbery of his gourmet culture, resigns his post, moves to America & tries to get a job cooking at Bennigans.  He can’t manage to shut up long enough to hear anybody else talking, doesn’t notice inclement situations spring up around him…hilarity ensues.  Trust me, we’ve got a number of these babies already plotted.

I mention this all because, #1. please keep this in mind and check back later for future strips, but #2. if you’ve ever had a kooky idea for a comic strip…well, we’re still in “ideation” mode, so if there’s something you’d like to see happen in the comic strip, a gag you’re dying to see, or an inside joke you’d like us to embed somewhere, the doors are open & we just might use your ideas!  If you’ve got’em, post’em in our comments section, or mail to percolator.music@gmail.com

Oh, and come out to see us next week.  Seriously!
