The Crash Take Off crafts.

So the Crash Takeoff in addition to being serious rockers has also taking up crafting.


That's right we're that cool.  See below what we do when we take the week off from practice.

Even Leeloo the Absentee Cat makes an appearance





For example, here is as he Chet shows apprehension as he stitches his racoon keychain...
I think he's doing a fine job.                                           

We're playing in Atlantic City!!

The Crash Take-Off will be playing at Elephant Talk Indie Music Magazine Festival in Atlantic City, August 7! More details to come. But yay, gambling and music, who doesn't love that?!

Audrey's Golden Birthday

The very fabulous Audrey White, lead singer and guitarist, celebrated her 29th on the 29th of June! In celebration, we went and did what most middle/highschool boys do to have a good time: LASER TAG.

It was basically Awesome, the Red Team (that of the birthday girl itself) won and the rest of us were relegated to 2nd and 3rd place. Celebration continued with excellent eats at Log Dog Pizza and boooze at P. Brennan's.  Happy Birthday Auds!

Punk Rock and Bloody Rides

Thank you to all those who came out to the show on Thursday at the Four Fields to support Lisa and her mission trip to Israel.   I feel I should explain why I had a scowl on my face and contusions and scraps up and down my legs. 

Yes, to be honest I almost went Pete Townshend on my amp.  The little piece of crap shorted out on me four times in the middle of the set.  DO NOT BUY LINE 6 AMPS.  It did serve a good purpose teaching me how to use different amp voicing while practicing, however if you are going to play out get a tube amp.  Also, I broke a string and my guitar wasn't quite sounding in tune after that.  Arg, yes I felt punk rock, yes I was channeling the Sex Pistols to rage with my music.

So, onto the bruises.  Mountain bikers like to be close with nature, but not as close as I got last weekend.  We'll say I became very intimate with a rock, some trees, and my handlebars.  Check out some pictures right before a jump at my last race (notice the blood dripping down my leg - awesome):

We're playing a Benefit Show - Thursday, April 22, 2010!

Hope to see you there :D

Recording!

While Tini is in Italy (which is super awesome for her, super lame for us), Kelly and I decidedly dragged poor Chet away from his precious sleep and used up all three hours of his day.  (When you work 12 + hours a day, commute for 1 hour and sleep for 8, that only leaves a smidge of free time...)

So thanks Chet!!  We recorded some awesome harmonies and bass lines and are almost done with tracking our Waltz and Loop, now named "Almost There."

I think we'll have to write a song about sleep deprivation and being overworked.  Any thoughts on lyrics?

p.s.  I bought a new guitar!!!! and it sounds hot.  Ibanez acoustic electric unfinished...  Sounds like buttah.  Feels amazing.  Smells good.   Makes Julliene fries.  Did I mention I'm in love?
