CHOCOLATE MILK TRAILER!

Eliza Kinkz, who some of you may remember from animating the Parachute video has made a pretty excellent animated short film called "Chocolate Milk." She was nice enough to let me write and perform the soundtrack and I'm very excited to announce that it has been accepted into the SXSW film festival this year! Check out the trailer!

New Poster! Feb 10th at Denton Square Donuts! Solo Show Tonight!

This show is going to be pretty rad! For a warmup I'll be playing a solo set tonight at J&Js in Denton to benefit Safe Ride. There is a cover, so I will feel extra guilty about trying to please the audience and take all kinds of embarrassing requests.

Comic! Tour Day Eighteen-San Francisco.

I drew both Gabe and Daniel the same because I can only draw like five different types of people.

Also! I am playing a solo benefit show in Denton next Thursday! If you are around come to J&Js! 

Poster!-Friday at Hailey's!

Lookin forward to this show on Friday in Denton!

We're back dudes!

Hey friends!

We are back from tour, which was a blast, of couse.  I have been super busy but all the tour comics are plotted out and ready to be drawn...I just need the time! Also, two new additions will be made to the store and adjustments to the sizes we sold out of on the road will be made as well.

We have two Texas shows in November, one is a post Austin Comic con part at Skinnys on the 12th (FACEBOOK INFO HERE)

and the other is at Hailey's in Denton on Nov 18th with Dust Congress and Welcome Signs.

More updates soon, in the meantime, here is a video from a cat party we played tour in Worchester, Mass! The whole crazy show is up on youtube thanks to Bonica!

Back for Now!

We're back from our west coast leg of the tour! It was pretty excellent! Thanks to everyone who came out and to all the new friends we made. I didn't have time to draw any comics on the road but I've been taking notes and plan to draw a comic for every tour date and post them up here. Yeah, I know I haven't finished that other comic project I started this summer yet, but I haven't forgotten about it. Everything will get done eventually.

We had a lot of fun touring with this acoustic set up and it looks like the fun will continue with our east coast dates, aside from our Athen's popfest performance which will be with the full band. Here are a couple of songs from our awesome packed L.A. show at Pehrspace shot by sexwithdonuts.com . This is the only time we have ever played Duncan live!



We recorded a live version of our acoustic tour set last night at the Violitionist studio and plan to release that some where in the future.

I'm going to update show dates here shortly so look out for that too.

New Classic Creeps CDR-ARCHIBALD ASPEN EDITION

The Autumn the Owl Edition of the Classic Creeps Limited Run CDR set is almost out and since we are about to be out on tour for most of September and October, I made the next run! The Archibald Aspen Edition is made up of 49 chipboard sleeves hand painted with shades of blue and then screen printed in red. The CDR's I use are a faux-vinyl so they look like little 45's. Each one is hand numbered, signed, and unique. After these are gone another edition with different colors and a different character will be made. They are ten dollars+shipping in the yofishboy.com store or on bandcamp (and come with a digital download) and ten bucks at shows!

New Video! Aspen 2k!

here you go! pass it on to everyone and let them know we'll be on tour in ten days!

Shows this Week!

Sorry for the lack of comics lately! I've been working on a new video that should be up soon, Here is a mini poster gif for all the shows we have coming this week!

The house show on Sunday in Denton is at 1106 Frame Street, Denton, TX  starting around 6pm! It will be a three piece show with Oaklands, The Yellow Dress and Denton's Alphabet!

Creep of the Day!-BUTT!

Today's Creep(s) of the Day is the rock and roll two piece BUTT! Mario sent me a email a few minutes ago saying "Eric, you totally nailed butt.  yep, I just said you totally nailed butt."




Also, we just confirmed two more shows! One in Iowa City and one on Vashon Island!

Easel Ain't Easy Interview/New tour dates!

I did an interview with Breena of Easel Aint Easy about Classic Creeps, drawing comics and the new song I wrote for her forth coming graphic novel. Check it out !

I also posted some new tour dates to the right and on the shows page. I'm still getting things confirmed so I haven't posted everything, but its looking great so far. If you see we are coming near you but not close enough, send me an email and lets try and work something out!

We're very pumped to play shows with Boat, Aqueduct, and Red Pony Clock on this trip...also to celebrate Patrick Tape Flemmings birthday in Des Moines! Here's the new Poison Control Center music video!

New Soundtrack Song!

I wrote and recorded a new song for the soundtrack to Breena Wiederhoeft's new graphic novel Picket Line. She told me there was a character whose father-in-law looked like a dinosaur and that's all I needed. Listen to it here and preview the book at her site here! 

Creep of the Day!

Today's creep of the day is Shelby! I wrapped up a ton of portraits this week and are wrapping up a few more soon. Please email me if you are sitting at your computer fuming about how late these are and understand that there are several steps involved in making these, and getting them out to you, many of which  are out of my control time wise.

Thanks again!
Eric

Comic!-Free Birthdays. Plus Winners!

Blogger was down most of the day so I didn't get to post the winners of the dance contest! Sean was the first to send his in late last night so he gets the vinyl and tshirt:

Comic! The Making of Alyson, PLUS! A CHALLENGE!

now that you know how it's made, watch it again!


We've gotten some really great responses from the video so far! Thanks to these kind people who have posted it:

Magnet
You Aint No Picasso
The Dallas Observer
The Dentoneer
Fensepost
Reviewsic
Frank Hejl's: Drag Me to Hejl

The Dentoneer suggests that the dance in the video is a new style called 'Fishboy' although I prefer 'The Fishboy' because it sounds more like 'The Freddy' .  Which gave me the idea for this challenge:

To the first person to recreate this dance in a youtube video, I will gladly mail a vinyl copy of Classic Creeps and your choice of t-shirt. To anyone else after that, I'll give you a digital copy and thank you drawing in your choice of digital format (even PNG!)

The ball is in your court America.

New Video! Alyson Revere!

Here's the new video! It's going to be featured tonight on Magnet's film at 11 but you can see it here now...and oh boy does it have everything you ever wanted in a music video: DANCING, check. ANIMALS, check. CELEBRITY CAMEO, check.


CHECK IT OUT!

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!

Creep of the Day!

The Classic Creep of today is Christian Wigley! 

A quick update on those who have ordered a custom embroidered portrait sleeve cover. I have the first ten (out of 30) embroidery sleeves done and will get a few more in before my sister who has been graciously helping me with these takes some much needed vacation time and then comes back and knocks the rest of them out with me. Thank you so much for ordering these and being patent.  I will let you know when yours is done and emailing you asking if I can make you a "creep of the day." 

Live video from Danielson Show!

Thanks to Jun Kang for shooting this show! More video coming soon!

Classic Creeps vinyl is HERE!

Here is the first official Classic Creeps GIF!
