Here it is folks. I filmed all day Saturday before last and captured some pretty entertaining moments during our transformation into FISHBOT. I dunno what I would call this video, videoblog? webdoc? short doc?
The Making of Fishbot from Eric Edward Fishboy on Vimeo.
Also, the album is mastered and it sounds wonderful. I've got from mildly pumped to extremely excited about this next release. Right now we are figuring out dates and formats and what not but look for a track or two on myspace soon. I'm also about to post a flood of shows we'll be doing in denton and austin with people coming through for SXSW. As of now, we aren't on the offical list but will be playing at least once in Austin and a few times in DFW during the fest.
one last thing. If you do the TWITTER thing, add me over here http://twitter.com/yofishboy

who is watching THIS?
First of all, thanks to everyone who came out to our show Saturday. If you weren't there or didn't hear the news, we surprised the audience by playing the entire set with basically keyboards and drum machines, dressed in robot costumes calling ourselves FISHBOT. It was a lot of fun and I should have a video documenting the entire day up soon.
On to weirder matters. If you are a total nerd like me you are anticipating/dreading the release of what most have haled the Citizen Kane of graphic novels: WATCHMEN. Author Alan Moore hates every movie adaptation of his books and would literally spit upon anyone who would try and adapt something he wrote. He doesn't own the rights to his most popular works which are have been slowly becoming movies over the past 10 years. Like me, you probably knew all this...but what I just found out is that the title track of the soundtrack is a punk rock cover of Bob Dylan's Desolation Row by My Chemical Romance! WTF?! Watch this:
My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row
I'm not a fan of this band, but this cover that really should have never been made is oddly fitting for a movie that should probably never be made. Follow my logic here: when a mediocre director (the dude who made 300) gets to piss all over a classic, what better to be on the soundtrack than a mediocre band pissing all over another classic?
