Hey Buddies!

We are back from a quick swing through the state that “Cops” built and we had a blast despite our Friday show being cancelled! Deciding to make the best of a bum sitch, the whole gang spent the day at Disney World! We made it through all 4 parks in a single day and had about as good a time as one can imagine.

I posted pics on my Flickr page and will most likely post some more on our MySpace page when I have a chance.

Big thanks go out to all of our Florida friends both new and old! The Buddy System’s big list of good dudes continues to grow: Jesse & Nethie, Jack at Aestheticized Presents, and Curtis from Summer Birds in the Cellar!!

This Saturday we will be sharing the Georgia Theater stage with this grab bag of killer acts: Venice is Sinking, Casper and the Cookies, Deaf Judges, Fairmont Fair and Matias. The doors are at 9 and we are on second so come early and stay late! Chances are we might have something special up our sleeves for the show, come find out!

We leave you with this gem of a band photo taken after Lauren and Craig convinced Mat and I to face our crippling fear of heights and ride the Magic Kingdom’s “Splash Mountain”… as you can see it worked out great, our fear = comedy gold.

THNX
The Buddy System!

Kindercore’s ani-band is hitting the road for a surprise evening in beautiful Birmingham Alabama, come say hi!!

Secret History Productions presents: Islands with The Buddy System at the Bottletree in Birmingham Alabama on Thursday, May 1st!

This show is for ages 18 and up. Ticke​ts for this show are $12. You can buy them online HERE!

Check out the Buddy System’s Clap Paws video (which was featured on MTV2’s Subterranean this past Sunday) to get yourselves in the mood:

So who are Islands? Well I think the kids have been talking about them for a while but here is some more info for the curious minds among you:

“Islan​ds sprou​ted out of the kindr​ed x-​ray visio​n of Nick Diamo​nds and J’​aime Tambe​ur,​ two rag-​tag youth​s from the weird​ side of the track​s.​ Previ​ously​,​ they’​d worke​d toget​her in sludg​e-​crust​ band “the unico​rns”​ and, after​ some time apart​,​ met up in L.A. on the set of Woody​ Allen​’​s film “​Melin​da Melin​da Melin​da”​.​ Unexp​ected​ly,​ they’​d both been separ​ately​ cast in the pivot​al “​resta​urant​”​ scene​,​ in small​ “​walk-​on”​ roles​ oppos​ite each other​.​ Their​ fierc​e compe​titiv​e spiri​ts kept the two from getti​ng too close​,​ but once the final​ cut of the film surfa​ced and they found​ both of their​ parts​ had been left on the cutti​ng room floor​,​ their​ dorma​nt frien​dship​ had been rekin​dled,​ cloak​ed in mutua​l pity and despo​ndenc​y.​ After​ much delib​erati​on,​ they agree​d to retur​n to the snowy​ clime​s of Montr​eal and jump head f​irst into the often​ heart​break​ing world​ of music​.​”

Here’s a video:

THANKS!!!
The Buddy System

Yup, it’s true: The Buddy System’s video for Clap Paws is debuting on MTV2’s Subterranean this Sunday night (or Monday morning if you’re picky) at 1 am! Tell your friends, your family and all of your pets then tune in and express your appreciation to the fine folks at the Viacom family of companies by dropping a note on The Subterranean Blog requesting that they keep playing our jams.

Peep the YouTube version here to prep yourself for the real TV deal:

Also this Saturday night we will be sharing the stage with the incomparable Je Suis France and the fantastic Royal Bangs at the Fabulous 40 Watt Club for the 10th annual Twilight Delirium show. Je Suis France will be dropping their new Death Wish E.P. (which sadly has nothing to do with Charles Bronson) and we will have our new limited edition Electric Science Team Buddy System DVD, shirts and buttons for sale so bring some extra cheese!

As always add us for updates HERE.

We loves, ya!

Ryan, Lauren, Mat & Craig

So today is the anniversary of my lovely wife’s D.O.B. and as part of her present I got my Buddy System bandmate and all around buddy Lauren Gregg to paint a Lewis Fambly portrait. The resulting painting is far cooler than I could have imagined so I am sharing it here for all to see.

Please to enjoy the Lewis Fambly…
