Comic!-Tour Day Four!

Classic Creeps LIVE ACOUSTIC CASSETTE + Alberto CDR Edition

Hey guys! We leave for tour tomorrow and I wanted to show off a few new items we'll have on the road with us.

The first is a super rare limited edition cassette release of Classic Creeps performed live on acoustic instruments by Ryan, Rob and myself. Michael Briggs of Gutterth and the Violitionist sessions recorded it at his place the day after we got back from the west coast leg of the tour and it sounds great! This is going to be put out by Slanty Shanty Records out of Norman, OK as part of their Tape Club but we will have some copies on tour.

Next we have a the ALBERTO SIMMONS EDITION of the Classic Creeps CDR!
These were handed painted in shades of yellow and white and then screen printed with brown ink. Each one is unique, handed numbered, painted, silkscreened and then burned to a fauxvinyl CDR, singed and put in a plastic slip cover.  There are only fifty of this edition, we'll sell them on tour first and then put the remaining on the website when we get back.

comic!-CLASSIC CREEPS!

ok! the day is officially here, Classic Creeps should be in stores and everyone tomorrow! Its been a real joy and pleasure writing, arranging, recording, drawing, embroidering, planning, plotting and promoting this whole project over the past eighteen months. For the rest of the year we'll try as hard as we can to perform this album in your town or as close to your town as possible. If you want to help set up a show somewhere please feel free to contact us at the email over on the right.

Also! there has been a slight delay in the embroidery portrait production assembly as my dear sister has gone out of town for a bit. If you ordered a deluxe package and havent gotten it yet, please bare with me and this delay.

thanks everyone!

Check out these CREEPS!

Here is the very first batch of embroidered album cover portraits for the deluxe pre-order packages! Welcome to the family guys! Expect more soon!

alright back to getting ready for the release show tomorrow!

Classic Creeps vinyl is HERE!

Here is the first official Classic Creeps GIF!

Autum the Owl Music Video!

Good Morning everyone! Today we have the first official music video from Classic Creeps for the song: Autumn the Owl (Mistakes the Feelings of Being In Love with the Feelings of Being an Owl) I directed it my self by hand writing the lyrics and waving them around the screen with some owl (and human) friends. It is premiering over at the awesome blog You Aint No Picasso. Hope ya like it! (watch it full screen!)




Also, I fixed up the yofishboy shop with those CDRS and new shirts last night. Let me know if there are any bugs.

Classic Creeps CDRS!

Here are some pictures of a limited edition first run of Classic Creeps CDR sleeves I made this weekend.   Since there won't initially be an "official" CD release of the new record I made these for folks who still prefer the format. The first run of 50 was made by hand painting orange and yellow designs on chipboard sleeves and then gocco silk screening the front and back cover. If another run is made there will be new colors and a new design with a different character from Classic Creeps on the cover. This one is the "Autumn the Owl Edition" 

These will be up for sale online tomorrow, as well as at shows until they sell out. 

Track by Track interview with Paul Slavens!

I drew a comic about this a while back and now the interview I did with Paul Slavens and KXT is up on their site over here! Paul did an excellent job editing down my rambling interview to nice little 15 minute overview of the album and plot(s) of the record. Check it out!

Also, we're one week away from the Denton album release show at Rubber Gloves! Here is a link to the Facebook event page! Get excited!

New Release Show Poster Comic!

Are you guys excited for this show or what? You should be! I'll probably print some of these out and throw one in if you come the show and buy the record. How does that sound?

Live from 35 Conferette

Here is a video from the 35 C show a few weeks ago shot by THE NEENER. Tommy and I have this same click off conversation every time we play this song:



It looks like the "official" release date of the album has been pushed back to May 10th which means that is the day that the record will hit stores. I should still have copies at the release show and if you ordered a copy from HHBTM.COM you should still get it around the 19th. It seems that pressing plants have been overwhelmed because of Record Store Day exclusives causing delays in everything everywhere.


Also, I've been pretty bad about mentioning Classic Creeps reviews on here as I have mostly been linking them on twitter and facebook, so I will start out by saying thank you to everyone who has mentioned or reviewed the record so far and apologize if I miss you.

First here is nice well thought out review from 0g Trans Fat, a blog with a couple other great movie and book reviews.

Here is a nice one by indieblogshot

Here's one from Songs from the Road with who I did a long interview with outside of Dan's before the video above. They mentioned that they will post that soon.

and lastly (for now) here is a really nice review from a Croatian Weed Blog, translate that one and its a good read!

Classic Creeps Update! New Acoustic Vid!

First, Mike posted a small picture of what the buttons and poster will look like over at the hhbtm blog. It seems there are still plenty of $20 packages left with the vinyl, poster, and button set, but only 4 packages left with the embroidered cover (w/ vinyl, poster, and button set).  So if you want to get one of those you still can but it wont last long because I've already started making them. Also, if you bought one of those embroidered covers and haven't heard from or responded me or Mike asking for a picture reference please send me one ASAP.

If this is your first time to the site and have no idea what I'm talking about, click our new album cover below:


The release show is three weeks away! This is going to be an extremely fun show with three of my favorite local bands: Spooky Folk, New Science Projects and Alphabet. Mark the date! April 23rd at Rubber Gloves!


Finally, I will leave you with this video from an acoustic session I did during 35 Conferette for Radio UTD. They wrote a nice piece on our whole experience over on their blog too!




P.S. thanks to everyone who ordered the Albatross vinyl yesterday! I'll be sending these out soon!http://classiccreeps.com

CLASSIC CREEPS DOT COM

The full album is up for streaming over on the right via bandcamp and now on the new CLASSICCREEPS.COM! Which features the full comic from the liner notes that tells the whole story of the record (one page per song.) It also gives some information about the pre-orders which can be bought at HHBTM.COM I'll repost them here just for fun.

package one $12:

•12" Vinyl (insert includes entire comic on front and back insert) with Digital Download 

package two $20: 

• 12" Vinyl (artwork includes entire comic on front and back insert) with Digital Download 

• an 11 piece 1" button set of all the album characters 

• a 11.5"x24" three color silk screened poster draw by Fishboy of a connection chart of all of the characters from the album

package three $50:

• everything in package two plus

• become a Classic Creep with a custom 12" cloth album slip cover embroidered with the picture and name of your choice!

this last one is going to take a lot of time and effort... and if it looks like we are getting too many orders we'll have to stop offering it....so if you want one order quick!

There is also going to be a short run of casset tapes and CDRs in the near future for those of you who prefer those formats. 

 Expect more show announcements, comics and more fun stuff on this blog in the next coming months. 

-Eric


PS I'm going to keep this post bumped to the top of the blog for a while...incase anyone was confused.

Hey friends here is a quick update on the progress of the art work for the new Fishboy album: Classic Creeps (release date TBD) There are 12 pieces of embroidered art that will be photographed (10 characters/songs,  1 title, 1 track list) and with help of my sister we finished two yesterday!

Yes, this is kind of a spoiler to the final cover, but you guys want the inside scoop of the process right? maybe?
