So you’re looking at this title and putting a few things together and saying, “Hey, City Zoo, does this mean what I think it means???” Well Animals, even we’re not 100% sure of what it means. What we do know is this:

WE’VE GOT AN ALBUM TO FINISH!!!

We’re not saying this is our last show for a while (you never know who might ask us to do (insert show/comment here). But our focus will be on finishing this project (Which still has not been named). But guess what??? We’re definitely not leaving you guys hanging though!!! We’ll be haulin’ all our gear up the mighty, mighty Maison staircase to blast out your ear canals THIS THURSDAY NIGHT!!!!

So around 10pm Thursday night, you’ll be blessed not only with your friendly neighborhood ear-bleeders, but the wonderfully badass sounds of Never Ever & the Family Band and TOAST BEARDS!!!!

This is how we roll...

So get your cameras, video recording devices, stone and chisel – whatever the hell you document stuff with – and get all your asses to THE MAISON THURSDAY NIGHT!!!!

See you there, Animals

Well gals & gents, here it is. The final track from Live @ the Ol’ WD. It’s a song we’ve been playing for a while and we hope you get WAY into it:

To bring up the history from the SONG CHRONOLOGY PAGE:

RADIO TRANSMISSION SONG – This song is a wonderful, wonderful mother. Lyrics, beats, synth, and bass came together in only a few hours. I think the lyrics speak pretty clearly  - it’s about someone wanting someone else.  I was running a huge fever and couldn’t speak – so in the original recording I played for Nick and Rory all you could hear was the drum machine, bass, synth, and me whispering the lyrics into the mic. Once that was done, Rory proceeded to layer 5 – count ‘em – 5 guitar parts in addition to Nick’s Rhythm and Piano parts. It’s still my favorite (Obviously, since I’m writing so damn much about it.). Pete calls this song “That weird bass line.” We recently figured out how we’re going to perform it live. My soul became a little bit fuller that day.

Guess it’s not so recent anymore…(need to get around to updating that page.)

And if you weren’t at the last show and are dying to hear the song in person, get your ass on down to Whiskey Dix, April 3, when we play with Lay Like Dogs. More details??? CLICK ON THIS!

See you Saturday you wonderful bastards,

Hello there!

Rory here with my first City Zoo blog post.  Not much to say outside of the fact that we played a rockin’ show last night at Whiskey Dix with Jak Locke and the War Office.  Big thanks to those guys for having us, a great time was had by all.

There isn’t really much news to report, as we’re just practicing, getting shows, writing songs, and generally trucking along, so I figured I’d open up my iPhone and see if there are any related pictures I can share with you guys.

Totally related.

As I just mentioned, we rocked the piss out of Whiskey Dix last night.  Pictures?  But of course…

The Calm before the Storm

This is the picture where the least amount of us are blurry

Shakey hand or groovy psychedelia? You decide.

Scott's bent over and blurry, but Nick looks like a badass, so it's in.

Also, if you interested, Scott said I was out of town recently.  This is true…I got a chance to visit a friend in Baltimore with a day trip to D.C.  Need proof?  I got your proof right here….

Respect.

You know, you always hear how the Lincoln memorial is just a big-ass Lincoln sitting down, but you don't realize till you get there that it really is one big-ass Lincoln.

Ok, that’s it from me.  I’ll be in and out as I post here as well as the million other blogs I write for (shameless self-promotion).

Sianara!

Rory
