“The bands and tacos begin at 2pm in the courtyard and, after 8pm, the live music migrates to the back room. At 10pm the DJs start upfront and at 2am, the bands stop and its just DJs front and back. ”

We played Santos with Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Freshkills/YYYs at Santos

Mum was the word prior to the show. Sorry. And it was our first show with our new bass player, Mishka. He only had one week to learn 7 songs and he did smashingly. Here’s a review, some pictures and tenacious user comments from Brooklyn Vegan.



Nick Zinner remixes “Revelations”

512207204f2d7b65610b0444dbb13e26-300x300

One night at Kokies we saved the life of Nick Zinner. He was caught in a glue trap and about to be devoured by a ferel bay area “pirate-punk” in capris and a GoGoGo Airheart badge that doubled as an eyepatch. She had a disconcerting jaw twitch, a visibly annoyed drummer boyfriend, and kept referring to herself in in seafaring terms, so we bopped her over the head with a Budweiser miniture and got him out of there. Ever since, he’s been in our debt.

Some debts can only be repayed in remixes. Thanks, Mr.Zinner!

To our German/European friends

It’s now that much easier to order our record thanks to the finest human beings EVER…the staff of x-mist. Seriously, these people sweat kittens* and poop angels. That’s not gross, it’s nice.

*”sweat” as in “secrete from sweat glands”, not “sweat” as in “hit on”. Hitting on a kitten is a lame thing to do. They are naturely affectionate, but you shouldn’t take that the wrong way. They like you in the same way we do… as a friend. A salty friend.

Jens from The Giraffes interviews us in The Deli

Little known fact. but Jens and Johnny, between them, have dated ELEVEN deli counter girls. Eleven. Two more and it’s a baker’s dozen, and the entire strange confluence of events falls apart. Because now Jens has interviewed Freshkills for a magazine named after said type of meat and cheese store. Unflippingbelievable.
Read some things that we were willing to say-
