Thursday, May 18th 2006, 5:58: So the Show Was...
So the show was awesome. The bands were awesome! Not like just one of them was awesome... They were all awesome. Rule 22 rocked, the Gusto rocked, and Downtown Brown really ROCKED!

If you missed it then you should really be ashamed of your self, because you really missed one hell of a show.

I will post photos soon, like in the next two days or so, that or on Sunday.

As far as future shows go, we will be having a few more here at Shady Knoll before we move out of the house in August so I will for sure let you all know when they are happening. Again as always we would love all the help anyone could give us in the ways of getting a show. so please let us know!

Thanks for reading!

Tuesday, May 2nd 2006, 5:41pm: NEW SHOW!, Show Page Updated!
Hello all,

I just wanted to let you all know that we have a show next weekend at our venue in our basement. Please check the Show's page for more info. This show will rock some serious ass so I reall urge all of you to check it out. One reason being that we havent played since January and I really think you would like to see us, two being that we will have new Merch, or more like we will have some new t shirts, and three being the fact that all of the bands that are playing are really freaking awesome. Actually it would be a crime not to come.

So with that said, tell all of your friends that there is a rocking show on May 13th @ Shady Knoll Retirement Center. Please contact me (the previous link) for directions to the venue, I really wish I could post the address, but its best if we keep it on the DL, so EMAIL ME for directions.

Also if you click on the flyer in the shows page, that will open it up to a full size flyer, so please feel free to post it up everywhere!

The only thing I have left to say is that I am still always trying to book more shows for us. I am starting to think I REALLY need some help in this area, so I am asking yet again, that if you know of anyone, or any place that needs a band, or if you just want to book us, that we would love to play almost any show you can offer. So again, email me with any info.

Thanks!

Tony

Monday, February 6th 2006, 7:57am: Photos uploaded, pics page redone.
Alright, so I finished the updates I was working on. I re-did the photo page, so now you can click on thumbnails instead of just text explanations of the photo. I decided that it is far easier for me to copy and paste code and show a photo instead of just pasting one link and then describing the pic. Also after all the work I did do with that page in particular I decided that I might need to start looking into a web program instead of working with the raw HTML. Right now as I update this I am writting in nothing more then a text box. When I want to put in a link, I write the code (< a href = " blah blah blah " >) or if I want to post an image I write the code as well (< img src = " blah blah.jpg " >). Apparently not many people do all there work like this. I mean it all has to come down to code, but a visual interface is what most people work with, and then the code is done for you. Basically it makes things easier at least thats what "they" tell me.

Anyways, check out the new stuff, it is nice and fresh for your eyes.

In non web based info, we had practice on Sat and it went very well. We basically wrote a new song. Lots of fun, really fast and kinda really poppy at the same time. Good stuff.

No new shows yet, but I am going to start today trying to book us some shows, or try to get us on something.

Talk to you all later

What up mo fo's

Hows everyone doing out there in internet town? Heres what is up with us..
We played a show in IL on Jan 14th. This was awesome! The crowd was awesome, and it was one of our best sets yet. We had a great time, and really want to play more shows. So I have to start booking us soon here, so if you hear anything, or have a show that you would like us to play, feel free to contact us @ donsformula88@gmail.com

So you will notice that the photos section is down. Basically I am trying to make it so that we have thumbnails instead of text. This isnt to complicated, but it is real time consuming. Considering I have to leave to drop off my rent, and then go get some sudiphed for the congestion of my nose, and then goto work, I dont really have the time for it now. But it should look good when its finished.
When will that be?

Well this weekend, most likely sunday, and it wont be the layout that is the new macoy, I will also be uploading some photos from the show in IL, some more from another show, and maybe more. All thanks goes to our little band photographer Jamie Mender (jaylee08@hotmail.com). She does awesome work, and if you want take photos of your band live, or for promo shots, she would be the one to get ahold of!

We have more new songs now, which is cool. We are working on writing more, and there is talk of recording again in the future. No specifics at this time at all, its all just talk, but with talk comes action, and then results, so it is still cool.

I am done now, and I will update more on Sunday

Later,
Tony

Tuesday November 22nd 2005, 7:20am:Did anyone notice how I stole the last headline from against all authority!?
Goodmorning all, and Happy Holidays!
No real new news, I just wanted to update you all so you know that we are still a band and we are still making new songs. Soon we will have some shows I can only hope, so keep an eye on the site as usual. Also, if you need a band, we would like to be that band. Not to sound needy or anything, but we really would take about anything right now just to get back into the swing of things.
Well thats about all for now,
I told you I didnt have much...

Tuesday October 18th 2005, 9:25am: Nothing New for Trash Like You!
Hello all!
I thought I would update the site a bit, let you all know how DF88 is doing, what our plans are, and all that jazz. Well we practiced this past weekend, and wow... We have a musicaly finished song (sounds very 70's arena rock like skynard) it is super cool. And also We may have started writting something that is nothing like anything we have heard before. And we mean NOTHING like it. I wont say to much more then that, because its so crazy that it might not turn into anything, but if it does, jaws will surely hit the floor.
We need shows! So I see we have alot of hits daily, and if any one actually reads this, and knows venues, or places in general that would like to have a super sweet punkish band, please feel free to get a hold of me asap EMAIL!! Seriously, email me, we NEED shows!
I will be up loading some photos from our show in our basement with WMS soon, so get excited!
Nice to get everyone up to speed, leave a message on our board, no one seems to use that any more, and its sad.
Peace

~Monday September 19th 2005, 8:12am: It Is Done....~
Ah yes, the site is finally finished, at least appearance wise. All I have left to do is add the bios, and we will be set.
Thats All For Today,
Tony

~Friday, September 16th 2005, 9:29 am: Almost completly finished!~
So yeah, I started up loading the new site yesterday and thought that it would take me a long time. well it didnt. So its basically almost completly finished. Aside from a splash page for the front, and a filled up links section, and a finished bio,merch, and other I think Im doing pretty good.
Many props have to go to Josh Cairney (Visual Static) for the assistance in slicing my nice new design into working links and such. With out his help, this wouldnt be working.
Any who, No new update for the band other then the site.
Take a look around the new digs, and shoot suggestions at me if you have them.
Peace,
Tony

~Thursday, September 15th 2005, 8:06am: New site finally starting to show up, far from Finished, I know I lie, alot.
Hi everyone. I just wanted to eplain why the site is so disfunctional right now. Well Im trying to get everything finished, but as you can see, it is not where near being done. the design is done, and the images that you can see around the text area are done, but for some reason not showing up. Beleive me, once its finished you are going to think it is quite the attractive looking website. But now it is crap.
Since it is the bands site, and we havent had an update since June, I thought I would tell you a little about whats going on. Well We have dan on guitar (nothing new) and we have three new finished songs (new) and they sound awesome (very accurate). Once we get a few more finished we will be ready to start playing (not just in our basement) so if you like us and want us to play contact me.
I have to get back to work, before I go to work.
Thanks for reading.
Tony
