i don't know the exact official date but we're right around the Garbage 10th 
Anniversary point, aren't we? we should throw a big big party. a cyberparty! 
if we each baked a cake and placed it in front of our webcam at the same 
exact moment blowing out the garbage birthday candles and somehow hooked it 
up to some newfangled web feed, and then we could have a dance contest.

or not.

I have a band to throw into the NGR promo ring: SCHOOLYARD HEROES! They're 
really entertaining to watch and put on a fantastic high-energy show. If 
you're living in Southern California or Las Vegas, check out SCHOOLYARD 
HEROES at one 'o these venues/dates:

March 19th at the Placebo in Arcata, CA.
March 20th at the Riff Raff in Chico, CA.
March 21st at the Anarchy Library in Downey, CA.
March 23rd at the Derby in Hollywood, CA.
March 24th at the Cooler Lounge in Las Vegas, NV.
March 25th at Zen Sushi in Los Angeles, CA.

Nooo, I'm not part of an annoying street team or anything. I caught their 
set opening for the Presidents of the United States of America the other 
week, and I thought they were the highlight of the night. They've got a 
female lead singer, and she's got awesome stage presence and voice. Her 
bandmate counterparts on bass and lead guitar add to that dynamic in no 
small way. Their guitarist is kickass and the bassist throws in some dual 
vocals. Good drums too. They're not something you'd compare to Garbage or 
anything, other than going "three dudes and a female frontperson". But they 
sing about important social topics, like zombies, the dawn of the dead, 
puppet people attacks, and other really terror-ific things. Check them out. 
Also they've got an album out - The Funeral Sciences - for those not living 
in that area. There are a couple of tracks from it you can download at 
schoolyardheroes.com.
