02/17/04 Welcome to the new almost completed Angry Penguin website I hope you like it. Again my mediocre web design skills have created yet another version of our site. We have not moved to the new server yet but we should be moving this week (for real this time) when we do you can expect a lot of additions to the website. If you are included in any of the photos on the website or any of the upcoming photos and you would not like to be please email me at slowdownson@hotmail.com and I will remove you.

Thank you to ever one that came out to see Monday’s show it was a HELL of night.

Due to scheduling issues Nora has had to drop off of the Feb 28th date they are extremely sorry and we are trying to work out another date with them for the near future. On the other hand we still have a GREAT show and I hope to see all of you out.

2/4/04 We should have photos from Fridays and Saturdays shows thursday night be on the look out!

I would like to start out by sending my apologies to anyone that was directly affected by the inappropriate acts that took place at this past Saturdays show. We here at the Angry Penguin do our best to provide a safe environment for people of all ages to come out and enjoy great music. Unfortunately that feeling of safety was compromised this past weekend. We can place the blame on lot of people for what happened but in the end we have only our selfs to blame. We started the Angry Penguin so that people would have a place to go and enjoy great music, we are still very dedicated to achieving that goal. You can rest assured that we will be taking every step possible to ensure that we never have a repeat of Saturday night’s events. So again I apologize to every one that came out and I hope that even with all of the commotion you were still able to enjoy some great bands. – Tony

We should photos from the fest up later this week, and by late next we should have some videos from the fest up as well. We have a lot of great shows coming up so keep an eye on the website for the latest.

I would also like to send out some Angry Penguin love to Frankie Fingers who was throwing it down for The Legacy Virus when he fell and broke his arm. We hate to see bad things happen to great people and Frankie your one of the best. - tony

1/17/03 DUE TO THE WEATHER NOUN FEST WILL BE STARTING AT 1.30PM BUT OTHER THEN THAT THE SHOW IS STILL ON. IF YOU ARE DRIVING PLEASE GIVE YOURSELF SOME EXTRA TIME. DRIVE SLOWLY IT BETTER TO GET THE SHOW LATE THEN NOT AT ALL!

I know it's last minute, but if anybody wants to set anything up at The (noun) Fest '04 please let us know, or just show up with what you want to promote. Whether you are a local record label, have a zine, artwork, political literature, or any literature for that matter, etc. Email me or Tony; our contacts are in the conact link on the side of this page, or you can call the hotline at 914-631-6121 I do know Trash from CT will be setting up a distro, Honor Skateboards, and a friend of mine from Hell On Earth Productions in Rochester, NY will be setting up as well.

Theangrypenguin.com will be moving to a new web server within the next week. So that we can replace the message board with a forum and have more space for our Videos (a lot more space).

1/04/04Happy holidays and a happy New Year. Now that I've made it through that, let's talk. Thank you to everyone that came out on Monday and to all of the touring bands. I heard it was awesome, unfortunately I missed yet another show due to the holidays. I went home to Rochester, not that anyone cares. My best wishes go out to Trophy Scars. I heard one of them was arrested on the way to our apartment. 2003 was a great year for us. We have met so many amazing people and seen some great bands play, some go on hiatus, some change names and get new members, or break up. To all of you who have played for us we thank you and wish you all the luck. We are looking forward to another great year as the entity, Angry Penguin Productions. Some say we are Gods among men. This is true. Tell your friends... You guys have really been great and without you we would have nothing. I think we have really come together and stuck together to build a great music community. We have fun with it and we hope you do to. I don't think you realize how important something like this is to a community until it's gone so let's keep it alive another year. Keep coming to the shows and leave the trash talking at home. We'll be here. Thanks.

12/22/03 Video from the WIth Honor show has been added to the website. The quality is poor and so is the sound but you should still be able to get the idea.
