The Grammar Club

Sorry about our layout being a mess; we’re working on it.

Blud Blood Interview

May 14th, 2008 by Shael Riley

An interview of me was just posted at BludNet here.

Our Grammar Club site has gotten pretty messy. My friend Ricky is working on a complete redesign, including a store and T-shirts, and excluding a forum and porn-spam. Wordpress is out. Flash is in.

Work on the new album is going very well.

Let’s Make More Money

April 1st, 2008 by Shael Riley

So, we haven’t made quite $200 on Bremelanotide Green yet.

I’m gonna extend the donation date to August 1st.

I’m hoping we’ll get at least a bit more money once presskits go out to indie and satellite radio stations, which should be soon.

Balloon Fight

March 5th, 2008 by Shael Riley

Balloon Flight is currently getting the competitive arrangement treatment down at the old Remix Fight. Head on over and pick up a handful of Balloon Flight remixes, then vote on your favorite, because that’s what they do at Remix Fight; they vote on their favorite. Or for it. You know, whichever.

On an unrelated note, Pajba linked us. This has nothing to do with my girlfriend, who advises me to hide her existence in the interest of extorting T-shirt sales from infatuated lady-fans, convincing a contributing editor to download our album. Hey, Pajiba! Have you guys seen our press release? No? Not relevant? OK. Cool. How about our page over at The Sixty One?

The rest of you, could you spread our press release around a little bit? Maybe send it to your local, college, or Internet radio station friends? Better yet, your music media and ‘blog friends?

Oh hey. Our forum, while technically functional, is more than a little spammy. You may want to avoid it, or advise me on how to fix it. I’m not lazy, but Google tells me only lies.

My professors didn’t buy that one either.

You Must Fill In All Required Fields, But You Cannot

January 30th, 2008 by Shael Riley

I’ve , actually, totally fucked up our forums while trying to script some anti-spam measures into the registration process, which strengthens my belief that I should have majored in CS instead of English.

Existing accounts should continue to function, but new users will not be able to register until further notice is given.

Roll Your Own

January 21st, 2008 by Shael Riley

Behold: remix kits! You can now download the seperated tracks (guitar, vocals, drums, turn-table, synth, and bass) that comprise our songs and use them to generate your very own remix, or make a rap beat and spit over it, courtesy of us. We’d love to hear anything you come up with, so make sure you let us know if you mosey on over to the Remix section and use a kit to, in the words of MC Frontalot, “roll your own.”

Fittingly, we also have a remixes page, with listener-submitted remixes of our music, of which there are currently two.

The first kit available is Balloon Flight, one of our favorites and, in my own opinion, the most accessible song on the album. More kits will follow.

In other news, Sean Treacey has made a nice, elegantly simple flier designed to eat your entire print quoata. It can be downloaded from the fliers page or right here. We’re really making a stir on The Sixty One right now, with Balloon Flight occupying the number one, twelve, and sixteen spots, respectively, on the hip-hop, rock, and all-genre charts, and Bank Holiday coming in at numbers four and thirty four in hip-hop and rock. The Grammar Club, as a band, is also numbers five and fourty on the hip-hop and rock leader boards, so we’re no slouch in the overall department either.

Solicitation: what I’d like to see from enterprising fans eager to do free work for me is a flier highlighting our page on The Sixty One.com, and asking that listeners bump excessively.

Number 12 on the Charts

January 16th, 2008 by Shael Riley

I suppose thanks our in order to our rapper. :)
And I suppose I will also thank our page on The Sixty One.Thank you, our page on The Sixty One.

Update: Now, we’re number 10.

Now if we could just climb the rock charts too….

Don’t forget to check the colossal update below, and download the new Blue and Green editions of Bremelanotide.

PS: If you can’t pronounce it, just call it “Bremy.”

Colossal Update

January 15th, 2008 by Shael Riley

BEHOLD!

At long last, the liner notes have arrived, in the form of a complete and total re-launch of Bremelanotide. Our album now comes in two forms: standard blue, with the seven songs you know and love, untouched, and special green, with all seven original songs plus an eighth bonus track, instrumental versions of each song including the bonus track, and lossless FLAC or super high-quality mp3 encoding. Both versions come with entirely new album art–the old art was near and dear to us, but a little too plain for the year 2008–and liner note, complete with lyrics. Best of all, you have to buy the green version.

Not down with that? Cheer up. It’s only $5, and we’ll be donating all the proceeds to Child’s Play.

Peep the album page for details.

Now, not only do we have the new versions of Bremelanotide for you tonight, but we also have six brand new fliers for you to print up on our flier page. Fliers two through six feature character-sheet style presentations of each member of the band, while flier seven is a beautiful photo manip, depicting photos of each member alongside an old-school cassette tape and a movie theatre ticket stub. It’s better than it sounds.

All fliers were created and submitted by friends and fans, to whom we are totally grateful. Said gratitude manifests primarily as credits on the fliers page.

That’s about it, but do join our forums! And keep bumping our songs on our page at The Sixty One. We wanna make front page!

Until next time, tah-tah!

Flier in the disco!

January 7th, 2008 by Shael Riley

Thanks to my friend Rob Tobias, and his friend Danny Geraci, we’ve got a flier for you to print and post around your campus’s student center, city’s public library, and downtown area’s Taco Bell. Please peep below and, subsequently, blow your whole print quota.

The Grammar Club flier number one.

Hopefully, more will follow.
