A couple of of these may be acquired prefabricated & fit together on-site. They can could be moveable http://thepacquiaovsbradleylive.blogspot.com meaning these were designed on the structure that's capable of being drawn with a truck. The one thing that I like about the http://www.vocationalschooleducation.com subject is always that these come in many unique shapes and dimensions and a lot of variations.

stoked!

lostcausegiveup (February 17, 2012)

i read "synth-punk" and expected to full-on hate this, but it's not that bad. video is pretty amusing too.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

They'll also be supporting Andrew W.K. for the entirety of his upcoming 'I Get Wet' tour.

EchosMyron (February 17, 2012)

Look, another smarmy band picture.

baldsteve (February 17, 2012)

More whimsy than smarmy

Sho-Nuff (February 17, 2012)

Just like your bathing suit area.

baldsteve (February 17, 2012)

I prefer the term 'Havoc'.

Sho-Nuff (February 17, 2012)

What I thought of.

That's what my Wang looks like

Sho-Nuff (February 17, 2012)

Your wang should be lip syncing to Lady Gaga on drag night.

baldsteve (February 17, 2012)

I can't keep up with what it does and doesn't do.

Sho-Nuff (February 17, 2012)

Hahaha.

longshot (February 17, 2012)

Kinda not totally hating this.

mill83 (February 17, 2012)

Not bad, and apparently BTMI has created a genre.

milner (February 17, 2012)

This is great! Massive surprise

i-type-poorly (February 17, 2012)

I can get behind this.

It's a little... manufactured crazy, but all the individual parts are things that I dig.

armsanddanger (February 17, 2012)

guy in the suit in this video (from the youtube still) is a producer/project manager at my office.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised PunkNews has responded so positively to this. I wasn't even expecting this to get posted. These guys are fun, and they don't try to be anything more; that's all right with me.

They're also from Providence, RI. I wonder what H.P. Lovecraft would have thought of them. Though I think they're Jewish, so it probably wouldn't have been anything favorable.

lostcausegiveup (February 17, 2012)

was Lovecraft an anti-semite? if so, i just learned something.

yeah, i'm also surprised so many people are enjoying it. that includes myself.

Ravnos (February 17, 2012)

Yeah, Lovecraft was a racist.

lostcausegiveup (February 17, 2012)

huh. that sucks. oh well, i still enjoy the books. Matthew Good is an incredible dickhed, but i own all the music.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

Well, I'm not going to deny that, but his hatred lied more with ethnicity than race. He was fiercely xenophobic and jingoistic, for reasons more cultural than biological. Likewise, he had an incredibly complex and conflicting brand of antisemitism: he was outspoken in his dislike of the Jews for who he saw as responsible for the world's ills, and yet he was vehemently anti-Nazi and even married a "well-assimilated" Jewish woman. There were many layers to that man.

I'm not defending Lovecraft's prejudice, of course, but it fails to have any bearing on how I perceive his work (though, at it's core, Lovecraft's own xenophobia pretty much fueled the entire theme of his work, the fear of the unknown). At the end of the day, he was still just a man who wrote stories. Calling someone a "racist" implies a sort of malicious intent, which wasn't Lovecraft at all. Unless he used his racist ideologies as means to inflict or incite violence or oppression towards others, then I consider it an insignificant matter as far as authors are concerned.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

I feel bad for Math the Band if they stumble across this.

"Hey, we got covered on PunkNews!"
"Really? What are they saying about us?"
"There's a lot of stuff about antisemitism..."

mrt (February 17, 2012)

Kevin would still be stoked, he's stoked on everything.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

All I can think about now is MTB doing a concept album based on Lovecraft's work. That would send the HPL Historical Society into a tizzy.

two (February 17, 2012)

I wouldn't feel too bad though, because I don't think they're Jewish.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

Just to clarify for everyone, I'm not implying they are. I'm not sure, really...Steinhauser and Mainville? It could be, though I'll be the first to admit that I'm culturally retarded. For the longest time, I always thought Amish people came from Portugal.

Skibz777 (February 17, 2012)

According to their Facebook, they are NOT Jewish, so I apologize on my part for any defamation of character that might have resulted from my assumption.

From now on, I will refer to Kevin as being Greek and Justine as South African, just to avoid any further confusion. Also, their names will be Bongo and Grizzle, respectively.

captain_lechuck (February 17, 2012)

Always nice to see some love for RI. While these guys are not exactly my thing, they destroy it live! Super energetic and lots of fun.

NCDS (February 17, 2012)

Did you ever see that episode of Seinfeld when they talked about the things you never want to see a girl do naked?

wakeentry (February 17, 2012)

I thought that I'd be the only one to like this.

justinshmustin (February 17, 2012)

Math The Band is one of the most fun bands I have ever had the pleasure of seeing.

Zephir (February 17, 2012)

Yay for Kevin and Justine. They're the best people ever and deserve all the praise. I am super stoked for this!!!!

rsplatpc (May 6, 2012)

Sounds good, good band to listen to while running if you are into health and whatnot
