And if you heard we were playing and you didn't think much of it, we appreciate the little thought you might of had. Regardless were gonna keep on playing too loud to small crowds wherever they will have us. Oh and a bigass shoutout to Russell, the best Roadie and break dancer we have encountered yet.

                Band Gig Comic

 

 

 

                2/21/2006


                Got a new Josh Band Comic for ya. The story goes I was walking through the band house one day and as I strolled through the kitchen my shoes stuck to the floor. I asked Josh what the hell they did the night before in the kitchen. He said nothing and suggested that my shoes were just sticky. Realizing that the kitchen in the band house was the only surface where my shoes are sticking I inquired more. I finally got out of him that and I quote, "We just bought a bunch of soda last night." I said, "The floor is extremely sticky and your only defense is you had a soda party last night. He thought it was funny enough to do this. That's Josh & Will.

                Yo Howdie gee folks. Permanent Eclipse 2006. We need picks. No seriously we are in another pick famine at the practice house. Please send all your un-used or pick donations to Permanent Eclipse 3401 Avenue Q, Galveston Tx. Otherwise the Balinese gig was fun, and we'll see about some Febuary anniversary shows for ya. If we can ever seem to finish off this bottle of Pancho Villa that is still leftover from the New Years.

                Hey All, I'm starting a new site - www.unionofhuman.org - it will be a site devoted to Anti-Society ideals, environmental awareness and music. I will feature bands that focus on those style topics in their lyrics but also just good bands regardless of their message will be discussed as well. The site should be up and running by Wednesday at the latest but maybe tomorrow. Thanks,

                Since I'll be in Tennessee this weekend seeing all sorts of kick ass bands and Permanent Eclipse won't be giging this weekend and regardless if they do I've decided to start a weekly Cool Bands Gigging in the Houston Area page. Hopefully some can use it for a good source of live music. And always keep an eye on www.SpaceCityRock.com their featured band list is strangely tasteful. Also I'd like to start a Galveston to Houston carpool for folks down here who want to take turns driving folks up there and back to see and hear cool music. Email me at permanenteclipse@permanenteclipse.com to help set up a network of music loving humans who reside in Galveston.

The story behind this band comic revolves around the fact that Ben can watch any of the guys play something and mimic it without problem.

                1:31pm, Poor Michaels just called. We won't be playing tonight. Yet another confusing scheduling conflict. Sorry if you were looking forward to it, I think the Band of course really really was looking forward to it. But please check back for future Gigs and join me in Houston tomorrow at the Meridian for the Rockin For The Rise benefit.

                The show must go on. This just freakin in, 12:17pm, the Band will be playing at Poor Michaels on the Strand Friday Freakin Night! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH! Schools Out Celebration Continued lives on! And it's our first weekend gig ever. For more details check the Gig section. Oh and if you just can't get enough good music till then check out The Reverend Horton Heat at the Engine Room in Houston Thursday May 19th. And in Galveston there's always open mic at Wreck's Acoustic Cafe in between Market and Postoffice on 20th on Thursdays. And also check out the Rockin for the Rise benefit that the Meridian is throwing Saturday 21st. The Meridian is an awesome place to see shows, The Rise is a school for special kids, and Rock & Roll is actually a music genre that died some time ago, but every now and again it supernaturally crosses over to our plain as if to say ,"I'm back motherf(%<{!?$s!"

                It's been a while since I've seen any gigs posted for Dubs and The Friends. I'm starting to get worried. Until I hear otherwise I'll assume the government is responsible. If anyone has any information regarding their whereabouts please email us at permanenteclipse@permanenteclipse.com  

 

 

                5/2/2005

                The first Permanent Eclipse Band Comic is out. Here we have it, thanks to Josh.  I'm sure there will be more.

                I can't put my finger on it but for the last week or so I've felt a terrible tremor in the force around the Galveston Area.

                School is getting close to an end. The summer is in front of us. It looks like I might just pass my courses this semester, 4 years and I'm finally a sophomore! Well all, be sure to celebrate with the P.E. crowd in May and check out Practice Punk in the Tunes section.

 

               

                4/25/2005

                The website was shut down over the weekend. The FCC demanded that we clean up the language on our site. No, I'm just fucking kidding. Ha ha, but we are trying to get their attention though. The truth is I crashed the site, I love computers they're so much fun. Should have some Gigs posted this week so stay tuned.

 

 

                4/18/2005

                The Guitar Pick Fund Raiser was a complete success. We want to thank all who donated their guitar picks, it's a shame you don't need them, but I'm glad the band can use them. Apparently they're up to their asses in picks now. So please hold off from sending anymore as of now. I'm sure we'll start up the fund raiser again next year, thanks a lot everybody.

                Thanks to Leslie Swick the band got to play out at A & M University at Pelican Island yesterday. Thank You Leslie and thanks to all the students who came out to act like a kid again at Spring Fest 2005. I know the band had a blast and the students looked like they were having a great time. A & M You Rock! Spring Fest 2006 will be even better!

                Guitar Pick Fund Raiser. The guys at Permanent Eclipse have informed me that they are experiencing a shortage of guitar picks. So if you have any old picks laying around the house please donate them to Permanent Eclipse. The guys would greatly appreciate it and I'm sure your efforts can be rewarded some how, like say a song dedication or even a particular request at one of the next shows. Thanks for your support, just send a brief letter along with the picks telling us about yourself.

                Tomorrow is Good Friday. I'm not sure why they call it Good Friday, considering Christ's death was probably  one of the worst things that happened on this planet. It's the truest shame of all time. Regardless, over this weekend let's try to be as cool to one another as possible. Because before we get to Hell this place and each other is all we got.

                The very first news posting involves two deaths. Hunter & Korey's blue Sonata. Hunter S. Thompson, author and human died. And it's also been reported the Sonata didn't survive Thursdays show. Mr. Jones was questioned when he all of a sudden had a different guitar. He confessed to accidentally murdering the Sonata guitar.  He admitted to drilling a screw into the neck of the guitar to hang a strap to. Then he leaned it up against something and it fell over landing on concrete. And it broke right along where the screw was. I asked why he drilled the screw into the guitar and he goes,"I didn't know what I was doing back then." And I go,"Don't do that to your new guitar." And he goes,"Oh I won't." There will be a small service for the guitar before the next gig. Closed cased more than likely considering the mutilation factor. The Sonata is to the left of the drums in this picture. You will always be remembered as a good guitar and friend.

                                                                             

                Sorry for the sad news hopefully things will get better.
