The Mae Shi: Punk With A Bubblegum Soul

“Run To Your Grave” has been picked as Song of the Day on NPR today! Read about it all at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=93976009

WTF

To those of you who have seen our live show recently, you may have noticed the big white sheet we use in our set. The thing is a gonerrrr. Barcelona, Spain was one of the wildest crowds ever, and they managaed to tear old bleachy up into dozens of pieces. Still though, it made for a lot of good times together underneath it.

I’m Glad You (Were) Alive

Barcelona, Spain @ Razz
2,000 People in one room
Stage Time: 3:30 AM

Are you in the NYC area? Do you want a pair of tickets to the show? We are looking for a few good helpers to let people know that The Mae Shi will be back in town headlining at The Cake Shop.

Put up posters and hand out hand bills and we will send you a pair of tickets to the show.

If your interested, send email to Meghan Richardson and we will get you the promo items right away (please note pictures of your work will be required).

yesterday i went to a local “vintage” retail store in tucson, az that buys and sells used clothing. while waiting for my used clothes to be bought, i started browsing the t-shirts; only to find the following.

as you can see, this is a well (as in professionally) printed peice with our old shirt design sharing space with a gravy train design and other random things.

colorful kill rock stars logos are randomly placed on the back of the shirt.

and this is on the side, some ironic new orleans logo? is this a joke?

it’s so well made as in all the screens used are flawless.
what???? can someone explain this? i should have bought it.
