2003:

Well Hello there kiddies....Surprised to see an update?!!! Could The Dalians be making a comeback!!! Check back as we are stirring some brew in the making!

Sunday April 8th: That was Officially the TRIP FROM HELL! The Show was great...thanks Nate for hooking us up, and to ALL those Kids that came out of the woodworks to jerrys saturday nite, even though Unwritten Law was playing around the corner! It was great to be back in the old hood and see all our old friends... oh yeah back to the Trip From Hell...we left vegas w/ just exactly enough time to get to bakersfield and load in before the show was sposed to start...only the truck wasn't quite cooperating...It broke down about 15 minutes out of Vegas and Saustin had to crawl under it and rewire some shite before we were on our way again...Theeeeeen 15 minutes after that, The U-Haul got a Flat Tire in State Line! So we call U-Haul to see how we're gonna get it fixed and they give us the run around...yada, yada, yada...we ended it up leaving it there and just putting the equipment in the back of the truck and hoping for the best... all was well, we got to the dale on time and had a great weekend. But then on the way back the FREAKING truck just Stopped. Sooooo we had to get that towed from BAKER to Las Vegas...fucking Nitemare! I can't tell you how much respect i have for touring bands after this little mishap, I'll never take them for granted again!

Friday April 6th: We've got a show in Bakersfield tonite and we're about to leave...Check us out tonite at Jerry's Pizza on Chester Ave. ~Viva La Oildale~

Monday April 2nd: Just got back from a weekend in Hollywood w/ DriveTrain and Nothing Yet...Super fun weekend all and all...

Sunday March 25th: It was so rad to play a show w/ Snap-her...my girlhood dream come true. I totally could have done w/out all the drama (i.e. Saustin renaming every song in our set "Jesse's Girl") and it would have been great if we played better but what the hey right? You only live once and those Gin & Tonics are Oh So Tempting! DRIVETRAIN played after us and rocked REALLY LOUDLY...and then Snap-Her...I guess the Turn out could have been better but i guess there was some competition from the Tea-Baggers show over at Money Plays...BASTARDS. PS thanks Tiger...Check out his site Big Lizard Records.

Saturday Feb. 24th: The Show last nite was really cool. I Love the Tounge & Groove...its such a seedy place, and you can't beat the Location. I heard a vicious rumor that The ADZ are gonna play there some time in the not so distant future...(Knock on Wood) anyway the show went great, we played first and i personally heckled some old broad outta the bar, Nate Dog was pretty sick, and Sauce was...well...Sauced as usual. We played some of our new tunes and actually sold some shirts! (FYI- if you wait till all the bands are done playing at one of our shows i'm usually so drunk i'm giving the merchandise away...) Exit One Eighty Played after us and Did a Rousing cover of "Blister In The Sun" They also covered a Queers song w/ that shit talkin' kid from berkley Mike Wise (check out his remarks about our Scene on SinCityMusic.com's Message board or just click here) I didnt' even know that X-Bestfriend was gonna do the show w/ us till i saw they're smiling faces across the bar. I didn't catch much of they're set but i did hear that they covered "Puff the Magic Dragon" (the Peter Paul and Mary version) and thats just too fucking CUTE! all in all it was a great nite, i personally went and ate a Happy face Pancake at BlueBerry hill after the show, while Saustin and the skin kids went back to the house for Beer Fest 2.23.01

Tuesday Feb. 20th: Last weekend is a Fucking BLUR. 3 words are all i can conjur up...Punk Rock Bowling. Thank god i've got the pictures to prove it (click here to check em' out) anyway we're playing on friday at the Tounge and Groove, the show starts at 9pm and we're playing w/ Exit One Eighty.
Hey i wanna say thanks to sweet li'l caty for circulating our mailing list around a few of the local highschools...now even more kids can enjoy my bi-monthly postal harrassments!

Febuary 17th: Today we're playing Larry's Birthday party over on DI & Eastern, if anyone needs directions email me before 3pm. Thats about it, oh yeah and we're going to see RKL tonite...Yipeee!!

Febuary 14th: We just got back from a Rousing set at the Junkyard! Thanks folks for letting us play...and good luck cleaning up that Stage, I guess that should be directed at jim though, oh yeah and Jim...Jesse wants you to FUCK OFF! (in the nicest way)
So it all started w/ some paper airplanes during the Exit One Eighty Set, But the boys got bored w/ good ole' aviation and just started wingin' Ice Cubes at the Stage! ( Sorry to Geoff who got a chunk right to the sternum)...Then when we took the stage IT WAS ON!! We got covered in Toilet Paper and Beer! We had a super time though, and in my opinion played a pretty good set! Check out the Pictures Here...Oh yeah The Pics from the show on Feb. 2nd are up...click here to view them.

Febuary 13th: Lots happening on the Dalians front... First of all we might be Relocating...Waaaaay out by A Bomb Records. We're just wherehouse kinda kids i guess, Hey Don't forget the show at the Junkyard w/ the Lucky Stiffs and Exit One Eighty on Valentines day (Tommorrow Nite)

Febuary 12th: OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so EXCITED! I just got an email from the Great and Wonderful Tiger of Big Lizard Records and guess what??????? WE might Get to Play with SNAP-HER at the Cooler Lounge on March 24th!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhh i'm going to pee my pants!!!!! Check this out...Last nite we're at the Cooler chillen' and drinkin beer cuz we heard there was gonna be some Punk Rock Bands from Mexico there....WRONG! we arrived to find DEATH METAL nite! But we didn't have any other pressing engagments so we stuck around, And after the last of the hair farmers took the stage they loaned us they're equipment and we jammed a few...that was until Gabes girlfriend got in a fight w/ some lost alzhiemers patient lookin' for his geritol...To funny!! Thanks fellas...who ever you were for letting us use your equipment.
