Feliz cumpleaño$

Well folks, it seems that Fridge has really sold out and become corporate whores. Paid gigs and a forthcoming album where most instruments and lyrics are audible have really caused us to question the validity of our collective existence. We haven't come to a conclusion.
What we have come to is a nearly-finished album that'll be burning holes in your mediafire account just in time to make the perfect Valentine's Day present. As a seasonal treat it is comprised entirely of love ballads and a Frank Sinatra guest appearance on lead guitar in our cover of Dead Kennedys' "Too Drunk to Fuck." Play track 12 backwards on Windows Media Player to get the full effect.
Thanks so much to Bumpin Jones and everybody who came out on the schoolest of school nights to boogie with us at Nectars. Neither the crowd nor the gravy fries disappointed in the slightest.
This weekend we'll be hitting the road to visit dear friend Kristofer Giordano and all of Quinnipiac University to show them what basements in Burlington, VT (circa, like, a couple months ago) sound(ed) like. The unrelenting excitement is burning a hole through all of New England, not dissimilar to that which expelled Dinosaurs from the earth several decades ago.
Next weekend (10 February) we'll be returning to Maglianero (they serve coffee and punk rock) to play the Vantage Point release show. Bring your skateboard (ask them first though, I'm not sure that the ramp will be open and I don't want it on me if you wind up disappointed).
Sam will be saving the world for a couple of weeks after that. What a guy. Ironically, his heart is bleeding so much that Central America now has yet another canal wreaking inter-oceanic economic imperialism and misery. Nice work bud.
If you dislike having a good time then February 24th will be the worst night of your life, as the two biggest bands in representing Church St barista/musicians join forces to sonically and physically destroy the Radio Bean, midnight - 2 AM. Super Bonheur & F$.
Like the rest of the world, we will be celebrating the leap year at Brennan's from 2 - 3 PM.
Notice the lack of basement shows? I hadn't until I mentioned it, but now I just can't seem to think of anything else. Hopefully come March that'll be a horse of a different color, but our hearts do go out to those still throwing down and to the casualties of past noise violations that are now exercising more caution and restraint before opening their homes to police brutality. Anyway, we're looking forward to partying with you soon. Let's make it happen.
We've been trying not to make a big deal about it by never mentioning it, but Harrison recently celebrated a very exciting birthday. You did it, big guy.
Ok that's enough.
- Edward.
