We’re moving!! That’s right, we’re leaving lala land and moving to that funky, hoppin yet down-to-earth desert town, Tucson, AZ in just a couple of weeks! We’re super excited - especially because we’ll be living in an actual *house* and turning it into our own recording studio. We’re ready to break out of apartment living and make as much noise as we want!

But we have one last chance for the local angelenos to groove on with us. Here’s the scoop as only phil can bring it:

So, as I know you’re all die hard Modeens fans and can’t stand the thought of never seeing the band again, we’re going to suit up in our super-hero costumes for one last rockin performance at our favorite haunt, THE CINEMA BAR, this SUNDAY, 11/23! It’s going to be an all day affair, starting at 3:30pm! If you’re up for a BBQ, the grill will be fired up out back, so bring your meat or veggies or tofurkey and cook away!

But don’t just come to see us - there’s also gonna be a JAM - so bring yer guitar or whatever noisemaker you’re into and hop onstage!

If you’ve never been, the CINEMA BAR is located at 3967 Sepulveda, Culver City, 90230

Please come down and help us rock the joint in this very special farewell performance!

First, if you like psychedelic rock from the sixties, Trip Inside This House is the blog for you! Curated by DJ Valis, TITH digs up old stuff you’ve never even heard about but will go gaga over!

And he’s a big supporter of modern bands carrying on the torch, so he likes to interview musicians with all kinds of cool questions. One of his regular features is The Wayback Machine (remember Peabody and his boy??) every Monday. And he’s featured two Modeens!

and it *doesn’t* taste like chicken:

communication is at the heart of a true democracy - if you see this and don’t like it, let your representative know - they tried to do this in 2003 and millions of letters and emails made them back down: http://www.stopbigmedia.com/.

Aight, time to rock it out again - this time in support of a local haunted house! As many of you know, we’ve been participating in this haunted house for the past 3 years and it keeps getting better and better! But chills and thrills don’t come cheap - so cmon down and put a buck or two in the donation jar!

The 5th Annual Haunted House on Grandview Hill is open on Wednesday, October 31st (Halloween Night) from 6pm - 9pm, locally produced and free to the community. Each year a group of Venice and Mar Vista artists/musicians/performers/costume junkies create a unique spook house with campy theatrics, performance art and good old fashioned chills and thrills. Located in Mar Vista on Grandview Blvd near Palms, this house attracted 300+ visitors last year and is a local favorite.

This year’s theme is “Planet Doom” - think Plan 9 From Outer Space with a time machine: zombies meet aliens, do some time travel and wrestle with vampires (and the odd mummy). Also featured are a live alien band, space art, an intergalactic bar, and space ships. If you want to get involved in the haunted house in various capacities (either as a scary member of the house or behind the scenes), call Jessica at 310-737-1066 to find out about upcoming local meetings.
