850-mile NPSH Pilgrimage

I just wanted to share a cool lil story with you guys. When we played in San Francisco with the Faint last November, Shaun spoted a guy in the audience dressed in a lab coat and goggles (just like how the lead singer of the Faint dresses), and Shaun said to him during our set, "Nice Faint costume!!!" and it was cool and all. That guy wrote to us on myspace last week saying he was making the journey from San Francisco to Seattle with his friend for our Holiday Spectacular. And they did! They made it some 850 miles for our show! Pretty impressive if you ask me.

Here's a pic:

That's David and Daniel bringin fishnets back in fashion.

Oh, and the best part? They said it was all worth it! Rock on.

For the rest of you out there, don't worry about making long road trips to see us (unless you want to!); we'll be coming to you in your city in 09! More cities, more countries, more fun. Let's dooooo thisssssss!!!!! Have a good New Year's Eve!

Moleskine Lust

Who else has Moleskine lust? Those beautiful little black (and now sometimes colored) leather (and now sometimes cardboard) notebooks... so smooth... so fresh smelling. The possibilities of endless ideas captured in beautiful tiny acid-free pages. It is all too much sometimes. I confess I have many more Moleskines than I am using lying around the house. There are so many different kinds I can't help but "need" them for all different aspects of my life. The new red ones are so beautiful. Can NPSH be sponsored by Moleskine? Please? 

I know I can't be alone. Who else has Moleskine lust?

*Holiday Spectacular Postponed*

Hey every​one,​

We were holdi​ng out, hopin​g it would​n'​t have to come to this,​ but we and the Vera Proje​ct have made the decis​ion to postp​one Satur​day'​s Holid​ay Spect​acula​r due to the curre​nt and forth​comin​g extre​me weath​er condi​tions​.​

But, wait!​ Befor​e you get all sad, THE GOOD NEWS:​ We have alrea​dy resch​edule​d the show (​still​ with Starf​ucker​!​)​ for one week from Satur​day-​-​ Decem​ber 27th.​ All Decem​ber 20th ticke​ts will be honor​ed.​

I know it's a bumme​r,​ but consi​derin​g the icy roads​,​ buses​ that won'​t run, and a Natio​nal Weath​er Servi​ce Winte​r Storm​ Warni​ng (​defin​ition​:​ A signi​fican​t winte​r storm​ or hazar​dous winte​r weath​er is occur​ring,​ immin​ent,​ or likel​y,​ and is a threa​t to life and prope​rty)​ start​ing at 4:00 PM Satur​day,​ we just could​n'​t take the chanc​e at anyon​e getti​ng injur​ed,​ burie​d,​ or froze​n or kille​d on their​ way to the show.​ And we love you guys!​ We would​n'​t want that to happe​n.​ On top of the alrea​dy icy roads​ that are not going​ to melt by Satur​day,​ there​ is an 80% chanc​e of even more snow (4 - 8 inche​s!​?​!​)​ arriv​ing right​ befor​e we would​ be going​ onsta​ge.​ And as much fun as it sound​s to be force​d to have a giant​ sleep​-​over in the Vera Proje​ct with those​ of you that would​ have showe​d up tomor​row,​ we gotta​ look out for every​one'​s safet​y and abili​ty to come rock out with us.

We are home!

We just got back into Seattle tonight! It is so cold. They are saying it might snow! That would be amazing now that we are home where our warm coats are. It was freezing cold in San Fran with our travel-lite sweatshirts. Yikes! 

Anyway, we just wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out to see us in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The shows were soooo much fun and we are so glad we could share the magic moments with you. And CSS! Massive love goes out to them and all their crew! They're nicest bunch of people you will ever meet. Thanks guys! 

We'll have a bunch of video and pictures to put up from our trip in the next few days or so. If you've got any pictures too, send them our way! 

Now next up is our HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR at the Vera Project one week from today. It is going to be funnnn to the max. We'll see our lovely Seattle friends there!

So much luv. Thanks for showing us a good time y'all!

This could become a habit

Once again, we set sail upon the majestic ocean of American road (and air) tomorrow morning!

It's a lot like this:


In fact it's EXACTLY like that, because we are going to LA too.

C U There!

We Have A Twitter!

http://twitter.com/NPSH



Yeah, just so you know, we had it before the KanYe-West-to-Steven-Colbert-Twitter-retaliation incident (which turned out to be fake?). 

Go and read how many suitcases it takes for us to fly to you on an airplane.

Good Morning!!!!


Us Playing Liam's Drums from NPSH on Vimeo.


Slow morning right? Isn't that nice? When you can eat breakfast at noon and drink coffee and read the paper? That's right. 

Now because it is a slow morning here is a lil vid of us playing Liam's drums while he was not at practice. We discuss band video blogs (blawngs) and how they are good. But we must make sure to check David's spelling. David promises to make more video blogs. Hold him to it!!!
There will be more vlogs!

Have a good day!

Whoa Technology

This is an LP VINYL RECORD ghetto blaster. I didn't know such a thing ever existed!



How about this one?
MIGHTY MIDAS TOUCH! That is amazing.


This one is your own personal disco dance party:

You might recognize it from a certain Madonna video???


Snap! I know iPods are sexy, but it's really hard to compete with some of these.

Check out more wicked boomboxes at the online Boombox Museum.

I want like a wall of these onstage as guitar amps. That would be raddddd.

Speaking of Darth Vader


Being reminded of NPSH's upcoming film reminded me that I recently found out this book exists. WOW. And with it you will learn such skills as how to make a death star cookie. Beyond WOW. I can't wait to try.

Thank you Neato Coolville, for existing as a flickr account.

I can't stop listening to this songgg


Sia | Soon We'll Be Found from Concord Music Group on Vimeo.


I'm listening on repeat over and over. So good. So lush. The video is cool too. 

I'm tired can we just sleep?

NPSH Establishes A Restaurant

I totally forgot about this until just now... but when we were on last tour with the Faint, we got crazy bored in the van with nothing to do. You know, when you get cabin fever and just start saying the weirdest things that come to your tongue? Yeah, that's where we were at. Anyway, we came up with the BEST NAME for a restaurant:

IN FRONT VEGETABLE OUTDOORS




It's the exact opposite of: 
Yeah. Pretty great. I'm thinking we should probably change it to IN FRONT VEGETABLE TENT. That has a little more flow, and the restaurant would at least have some type of structure. Look for restaurants to be opening soon.

Also look out for our "Darth Vader: Truck Driver" movie in theaters 2012. It's shot all in First Person from Darth Vader's perspective as he travels across the country for his new job as a trucker. It's our answer to the Daft Punk movie.
