Ladies and Gentlemens,

We here at Lime Colony headquarters recently learned that…hold on…it’s hard to type when listening to music, even if it is The Heligoats…there…Ok, we learned that we will be kicking off a show with Hail the Sun and Clouds On Strings on Tuesday, January 19th t The Rockit Room. I’ve always really liked rockits.

The show starts at 8. We’d really like to see you there. It’s been months since that one time we met. You know. That one time.

On another musical note (GET IT?!), we’re this close to being done on the new album. Really, like thiiiiis close. So move forward on your seat until you’re pretty much on the edge of it. Good. Now stay there until we announce our CD release show (imminent).

In only a few hours, and for only eight dollars, you will be able to witness live performances by Lime Colony, The Yellow Dress, Passenger & Pilot, and The JJ Schultz Band at “the best place to hear live music in San Francisco” (according to Rolling Stone and bottomofthehill.com). In case you don’t read limecolony.com with as much fervor as you should, here are the dirty details:

Doors are at 8:30pm

Cover is $8.00

The Yellow Dress

Lime Colony

Passenger & Pilot

The JJ Schultz Band

Please come.  We will be overjoyed if you do.  Don’t let the rain stop you.  Wear some galoshes, an oilskin jacket, or any combination of the two.  Throw in an umbrella for good measure.

Love, Lime Colony

See us!  Hear us!  Believe us!

If you couldn’t decipher the title of this post, or the silly words above, there is going to be a thunderous rock-and-roll concert in less than a month. It’s going to be at Bottom of the Hill, San Francisco, CA.  It’s going to be with The Yellow Dress.  It’s going to be with Passenger and Pilot.  It’s going to be with the JJ Schultz Band.

Fan A: “FOUR bands?”  Fan B: “Our dreams have come true.”  Fan A: “Yep.”

Read on for some more information…

MORE INFORMATION:

Cover? $8.  Doors? 8:30pm.  Ages? 21+.  The order, chronologically? The JJ Schultz Band; Passenger and Pilot; Lime Colony; The Yellow Dress.

This show was conceived and assembled based on pure, hard, concrete scientific facts.  Equations were sketched and numbers were scattered.  Facial hair was grown and then furiously shaved.  Nothing could make you happier.

Don’t forget! Lime Colony tonight at Blondie’s (540 Valencia)! There will be cake and clowns and party hats (maybe).

We’re getting our rears in gear, and you should too. Come see the world’s finest collection of musicians ever assembled (Earl, Tim, Colin, and our new bassist, Will) at the Beale Street Bar in SF. Tomorrow night. It will be extreme.

Everyone,

We are pleased to announce that we’ll be playing this Saturday, August 1st at the Beale Street Bar and Grill in San Francisco. The show starts at 8:30, $5 cover, 21+ etc.  So put on your weathered, wrinkly old home-made Lime Colony t-shirt – the one you drew on in puff paint (remember puff paint?) – and make a trip to the conveniently and centrally located Beale Street Bar.  Summary and map follow:

Wonderful people of the world, rejoice!  Lime Colony is venturing into the spolight once more!  On August 11th, 2009, we will be playing live at Blondie’s Bar and No Grill in San Francisco (http://blondiesbar.com – see map below).  The event is called Collective Tuesday.  There will be a total of 10 (!) bands with musical styles ranging from hip-hop to indie-style rock, but don’t worry, most will play only one or two songs, while we, yes we, will be entertaining with a full 40 minute set.  At the end, in true battle-of-the-bands form, the audience will vote on their favorite band.  This is your night to shine, gentlefans, for you can contribute to the success of this, the greatest folky rocky band ever to come from a combination of Burlingame, Berkeley and Oakland.

Cover is $7,  21+

So come out and show your support for your very favorite band (at least your favorite band that is playing on 8/11 in San Francisco).

-Lime C.

Folks,

Someone recorded our little informal show on 6/20 and we present it to you now:

http://limecolony.com/6_20_09_party/

There’s a bit of wind noise, and, at times, it sounds as though there are 2 or 3 people in the audience.  Don’t worry about that.  Just listen to the rock music and live.

(obligatory picture follows)

Through the wine-spills and cheese-stains, we’ll be playing a fortified, amplified, award-winning set.  We apologize from the bottom of our crooked hearts for the impromptu notice.  See our Upcoming Shows section for more info.

The Show

(Dialogue done in classic “Movie Previews Guy” voice)

“A pulse emanated from the Utah on Tuesday night…”

*bass hit, folky yet eerie music*

“A pulse so strong it could not be ignored…”

*double bass hit, music building to crescendo*

“All who came near knew one thing…”

*music drops out suddenly, bright flash*

“Maisy… was going to get burned…”

(Like this. But with fire instead.)

“…also, there is an absolutely bitchin’ deal on Pabst during happy hour, and the mac ‘n’ cheese isn’t half bad. Just tossing that out there in case anyone is buying…”

Alright, so I don’t write movie scripts, but those of you who were there know what happened. The collaborative trio otherwise known as Lime Colony, came, saw, got lost and confused in that back hallway next to the stage, got some directions and a fresh beer, and subsequently conquered using an energetic set and the support of an awesome group of friends, family and one or two sexual deviants (APB is out for Menko McKee).

For those who were there, you guys rocked, thank you for coming. We love you all in extremely platonic fashion, and I think we all feel extremely fortunate to have people like you around. For those who couldn’t make it, I feel like I need to toss on “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men and cry into my goose-down pillow about the sweet, sweet interplanetary music love we used to share.

(These men heal my soul. Except the dude with glasses. I can’t tell what he’s looking at.)

Or we will hopefully catch you at the next show. Whatever sounds less dramatic to you.

But really, the show was a big hit, we had a LOT of fun, and none of us can wait to get back out there and play some more tunes. In the interim, we’ll be heading to our super duper NEWWWWWWWW practice/recording/existential space of reflection in the Mission to start recording and fine tuning and hiding beer behind loose wall panels. That’s right Mom and Dad, no more mid-20’s garage band!

(We were like this. But less cool.)

Please do stay tuned, and we will provide as many updates to this process as possible, including future show dates, where we’re at in recording, how long Earl’s facial hair is and whether or not Tim gets drunk enough to wear his new cowboy boots with boxers and a flannel shirt. Horrifying.

Colin’s Corner

This is a little section where I say something foolish, or talk about things that may or may not have anything to do with the band. It’s a lot like those times that I stand up during the show and mumble things into the mic before Tim can stop me. It’s fun. Moving forward…

So every now and then you run across another blog/website and see some stuff that makes you laugh. I ran across such a place recently, the name of which will not be presented insomuch as the name itself is a bit offensive. If you’re curious, ask me at the next show. At any rate, the gist of the site is to show toolbags/meatheads/beef-rods posing in such asinine, moronic ways, that you could not possibly add more shame to the massive shame-pile they have heaped on themselves. To illustrate the topic, please examine the following:

(What in THE hell is wrong with their lips.)

That’s not pre-fab, and it isn’t a joke. These guys think this looks good. They’re also from one of the most horrible states in the union as far as any sort of taste goes (I’ll give you a hint: The Sopranos).

*Shudder*

More posts to come.
