Welcome, welcome. There's so much to share, that we'll jump straight to the news:

Well the show in Reno was awesome. First and foremost a VERY special thank you to Cam, Tress and Brandy for hanging out with us, hawking our shit, watching our shit and giving us a place to shit. Everytime we play with Dog Assassin we have a great time, and this was no exception. The kids were cool (except, of course, for the total douche bag who scammed a free shirt off the good Doctor with a falsefied sob story...but I digress), and much break-neck headbanging and corpse-crushing moshing was enjoyed by all. Should anyone from Reno be reading this, please know that we look forward to kickin' it with ya'll again soon, and please go check out Sound & Fury Records where you can score stickers, shirts and CD's that have been permenantly defaced with our logo.

Speaking of which, WE HAVE NEW SHIT ALL OVER THE PLACE, FUCKERS!!! So pay attention, cause this is the good part.

Should you bother kindly to trek on over to the Discography Page you will note that there are two new mp3's up off our up coming full length! See, we told ya we'd get the shit up there. We hope you enjoy them...we did it special, just for you. Those same mp3's are also available on our My Space Page if you're so inclined to use that particular medium. Also, we have now attained stickers for your sticking enjoyment thanks to the aforementioned god of thunder, Cam. These will be kicked to you at no charge at shows and with orders. In addition, we also finally have the one thing prized more highly by metal bands than the mighty SG of Tony Iommi itself - our own mutherfuckin' t-shirts! That's right, assholes, we did it. We'll try to get the shirt design and ordering info up within a week or two, but for now just know that they are totally awesome. Featuring artwork by the world's foremost comic artist/sniper Becky Cloonan and lovingly produced by SF's own design guru/drummer in nothing but totally awesome bands/psychokinetic human torch Scotty Karate, wearing one of these badboys will doubtless get you ostracized from all the coolest cliques at school. So make sure ya check back soon for more info on all that good shit, as well as more updates about the full length release.

Of course, there must be an equal and opposite reaction, so here's the bad news: We have no shows booked in the near future, and we'd like to change that. So please hook us up with shows, or we will total go sulk in the corner about it. ~ Population Reduction

Are you ready for more, ladies? Then let's get right to it:

We know that you've all been waiting with bated breath for new content on this site...and finally, finally a trip to the taqueria has yielded it to you. The details of this are much too highly classified to share with you all here, but suffice to say there are new pictures up. That was worth reading just to find out that you can stare at our ugly mugs some more, eh? C'mon you know you have nothing better to do.

That doesn't make much sense, but I'm kinda baked.

Anyway, you can all expect an mp3 from the new album real soon. I don't know when, exactly.

Fuck this, it's time for some strawberry Pocky. ~ Population Reduction

Welcome, welcome ladies. No time for pleasantries or flowery language, so here's the news:

Unfortunatley, this afternoon's show with Dog Assassin at Warm Water Cove was cancelled. We're super bummed about it, but may not have been able to play anyway due to a non-stop, food poisoning inspired toilet party hosted and attended soley by Pete. He's feeling a little better, and seems to have lost some weight, that fat bastard. Luckily for us, however, we will still be playing with Dog Assassin in Reno on the 22nd of this month, and we would encourage all of you who are in that area to come out to what will surely be the social event of the season.

Other than that we would again encourage you to check out our new myspace jobber, and if you're into that shit, kindly help us expand on our world wide free advertising campaign.

Well, that's about all for now. Again, please check the site frequently this month, as we will have lots of updates regarding the LP, new mp3's for download and tons of great merch for you to get your little hands on. Time to check in on Pete's "Vomit Party '05!" ~ Population Reduction

Welcome, welcome ladies. We hope that everyone had a safe and slobering drunk New Year's Eve last night. We sure did...and with that we invite you to step into the news for 2005:

Let's start with the 2004 recap: We played our first ever shows in California and Nevada last year...we'd like to take a minute to say a big special thanks to eveyone who frequents the scene here in the bay - when we moved out here from Ohio, we really didn't know shit about the area, or anyone out here, and lots of you have gone out of your way to hook us up with shows and shit...you know who you are, and you're all totally awesome, and you made last year rad as fuck for us. So thanks.

A bunch of other shit happened on the world scene last year, but we're not gonna go into that now since, frankly, most of it sucked. Murders, wars, disasters, and elections - all of which successfully sucked the turds from a donkey's ass. No need to dwell on it now...and that's the recap!

So what can you look forward to in 2005? Quite a bit of grinding douche baggery from us, we can assure you. We've already begun the editing and mixing process on the new album, and we hope to have it knocked out pretty soon. We're excited to once again have the endlessly talented intergalactic space assassin and super awesome human Becky Cloonan doing the cover art for this one. We'll be sure to keep all six of you who read this with any frequency overwhelmed with updates on our progress with it.

Also, we do have some shows set up for '05 already, so check the shows page for that info - to anyone who is interested in having us play anywhere at all, please drop us a line, as well. We're really hoping to set up shows in southern California as well as in Oregon and Washington, but anywhere at all will be awesome. That was the desperation portion of this update.

Other than that, you can expect all that shit we never got around to last year...stickers, shirts and all kinds of other merch that we promised you (and yes, we are actually going to do it this time! If that shit ain't available by march, you should all come and kick us in the nuts.) We aim to turn out some more patches right soon as well, and we'll let y'all know what's going on with that too. Also keep an eye out for our "Don Ho's Greatest Hits" cover CD by the end of 2005. Ok, that's not gonna happen, but we just wanted to see if any of you were still paying attention. Have a great year, assholes. Aloha! ~ Population Reduction
