District of Sound Review

Hey friendlies,

We're playing a bunch of times in October, and here's my promise to you; we're going to have three songs that no one's heard before in time for the show at Madam's Organ. They are nearly done.

Also, the folks at District of Sound just reviewed our record. Check it out!

cd release show August 24!

Mark your calendars: Ugly Purple Sweater will be playing a CD release show on August 24 at 8PM at the DC. If you're going to come out for a show, make it this one: we're playing with a whole team of talented guests, and openers Pearl and the Beard and Caitlin Schneiderman are sights to behold.

Hope to see you there!

If you've got a moment...

Friends and folks, read this review of us!

"You Are Alone But You Are Not Alone" Release Show in DC

We're very excited to announce our official CD release show for You Are Alone But You Are Not Alone at the DC9 on August 24. We're very lucky to have a whole host of talented folks come and play with us, so it'll be Ugly Purple Sweater in it's full-band glory.

And Pearl and the Beard of Brooklyn, NY will be coming down to play the show with us. And holy smokes are they good. How good is this?:

Oh, and also, their new record kicks ass. You can hear it on their Facebook page.

Things will get underway around 8, the cover is $8.

Tear Yourself Apart

Portland, OR has been good to us. Here's a video of us playing Tear Yourself Apart (a new song) at the house show we played here.

Also, you can watch us play Josh's song "Dirty Blind," which is about corneal abrasions. 

Tour Constitution

We're off! Played two shows in San Francisco yesterday. Met a lot of lovely people and fantastic musicians. StitchCraft's CD release party for Though the Hoolaboo. I never seen such violin shredding and pretty singing in my whole life. 

After the show we stayed in the house of StitchCraft's violinist Anna and her bff, who are the two nicest people yet born. Much love. 

In honor of the beginnings of our meanderings, we find it necessary to draft for ourselves some articles of confederation. So:

OUR CONSTITUTION:

Article One: No member of the JS-UPS tour shall, while looking into the trunk, say "Oh shit!" or utter any other expression of surprise, dread, or horror, so as to avoid invoking in his or her band mates the impression that any of our equipment has been lost, stolen or damaged; and thus to avoid causing in each any premature cardiac arrest. 

Article Two: Easy on the booze. Livers aren't for sale on ebay. Yet.

Article Three: Rachel may not be referred to as "lovely," "pretty," "beautiful," "adorable," "cute," "ornamental," "delicate," "fragile," or, "a delightful hostess." Acceptable substitutes include, "hard working," "balls to the wall," "shit kicking," "take no prisoners," "the shredmeister," "environmentally aware," and "fair trade certified."

Article Four: No more than one greasy spoon per day.

Article Five: This constitution may be amended unilaterally by any member of the JS-UPS tour who happens to have access to this blogger account (sorry Josh.)
