Yo guys and dolls! HOT DAMN we have been *busy*!! We've got some cool new stuff
for ya'll - our album is up for sale on our website as well as on cdBaby and
as a digital download on DigStation! Check those links for some killer soundclips
as well as albums/artwork/mp3s for purchase!
We're still working on that new website! In our usual fashion, after our incredibly successful show at The Knitting Factory last month, we partied
so hard that we JUST WOKE UP! So please forgive us for not getting the new site up and running yet, and a most humble and loveable THANK YOU to all you cool
cats that came out to our release!! Big things are coming... watch out for the SH Tidal Wave!!
Love, the Oceanic Potion of Social Hero
-06/13/08- HOLY FRIJOLES
Alohoa, guacamoles! The mercury is at its apex and we are sweating
like J. Edgar Hoover trying to fit into a new girdle, but we'll be damned if we ain't here to show ya some love and let ya know where production
currently stands(!): the record is almost finished! The vocals are nearly done and after a few (a)more guitar
flourishes it will be ready to be shipped out to our
Emmy-winning mixing crew! We know it's been awhile, but we promises, it will be WORTH IT! And
majestic! We'll be heading up to Boston in July,
so keep yer eyes peeled for us, and following that will be a Times Square Rumble in New York! We know you're keeping
score, but it'll be point-set-match-touchdown-goaaaaaaaaal
when we're done with ya!
See ya soon, kittens!
Love, the Deliciously Pernicious Social Hero
-03/20/08- HOT AS BAKED ALASKA
Hey you holy rollers. Sorry it's been so long since we've
rapped at ya, but we've been deep into
eating our opponents' brains and inventing cocaine.
That and we've been working on the new record for the last few months and it's been keeping us real busy. We're hoping for a high-octane release sometime before the end of the summer, so keep your
chicken fingers crossed! In the meantime, check
out a SHpecial appearance in this week's issue of Timeout New York, and ANOTHER in next week's! There may even be an advanced track involved,
so keep your chin up and
soldiers back. And if you feel like getting your
socks hot and your rocks off in the right here right now, come see us at The Cutting Room this Saturday,
the 22nd with
IAN LLOYD BAND - just in time for the
big man to come back up!

-12/13/07- WE BAD, WE NATIONWIDE
Well, while we often come home with lies about women, today we're
coming home to lie about the last weekend we spent
trapped in The
PYRAMID Recording Studio with our illustrious engineers, TimO and Badler! In a scant
33 hours we managed to walk away with 13 blistering tracks guaranteed as
fresh as a coat of paint on your kid
brother's model airplane. You'd have to be crazy on acid to think we didn't stay up all night rockin' and drinkin' and tryin' not
to spill too much beer behind the drums. Then we had a jaunt out to Patterson, NJ to play live on WPSC 88.7FM's
Morning Blend, got
tossed out of a bar in Hoboken, and tomorrow night,
live, for your pleasure, we've got a treasure of a show at Ace Of Clubs! We'll try to get some pictures up
of our adventures soon! And maybe we'll send you a
postcard!

-10/02/07- MR. BLUE SKY'S UP THERE WAITING
And today is the day we've waited for! Some notes coming atcha:
Please to auditorialize our radiohead shenanigans from last July's performance on
Williamsburg Revolutionary Radio (click
here for direct link). We also happened to play a show last month with
some extremely notorious riot acts from the local scene, including the
Statues of Liberty,
TSI, and of course our pals
Atom Strange. We'll actually be teaming up with TSI again, along with
our soundteam from Boston,
Gravehaven, next month at
PCL. It's going to be
larger than the moon. We're going to be taking
off most of this month to record some long-awaited new tracks (and to
celebrate G*'s BDAY!), which have been a long time coming but
we guarantee you they will be worth the wait. You'd better
run for
cover.
Love, the Jerkin' McGurkhin Social Hero
-08/14/07- MAY ZOMBIE JESUS EAT ALL YOUR BRAINS!
ALOHOLA Muchachos and Muchachettes - It's been a hot minute since we've updated this
page - but you knows we've been busy... and, well, it's just that, since we've been lovin' you, we're about to lose our worried mind! So what in the name of Dracula's Zombie Bones have we been
up to? Well, we're working on some new recordings; we went all the way down to
Virginia to play on the beach, do a radio show and stay at the ECONOLodge in P-Town; we rocked
Orchard Bar for Sony International and then we rocked Luna Lounge in BKLYN for ED Marshall's
photo-expose; and we're gearing up for the Arcadiafest Extravaganza, as well as some more shows in New York! Check the schedule!
We even made time to stop by the flea market. All in all, it was a flippin good time! What we're
still trying to figure out though, is what the fuck that thing on Matt Bellamy's cabinet is!
Thanks be to you all for sticking with us - ya'll keep us on the fast track to the "IT" list - blast fax kudos all around.
Love, the Licentious, Ambidextrous Social Hero
-02/08/07- DIE, YOU RANDOM SON OF A BITCH!
OK! OK! I know. It's been way too long since you've seen any news
come out of the
OK Corral in SHerotowne, Oklahoma. I get it. I've been busy, OK? So let's get up to speed. We've had a crazy bunch of shows over the
last few months, including a crazy time at The Hook on Halloween, and Cake Shop last December. Now, it's time to look forward: Our first show in NYC of
the NEW YEAR is coming up this weekend, on the tenth at the The Cutting Room with
Ian Lloyd Band! Sure hope you can stop by. We're also hitting the road this weekend
and next to go to Boston tomorrow and
Manchester, NH on the 17th. We'll be blowing up the NE with pals
Go Yuki. More shows and recordings are on the docket for the Spring; you know that we'll keep
you posted. Til then, stay away from those
oil cans and
gigantic space-spiders.
Love, the OKLAHOMA!
OK! Social Hero
