OK, so it's been
awhile. It's tough
juggling a life and a
band. But you knew
we'd be back. Just
like Jason and
Freddie, you can't
kill us unless you chop our heads off. Last I looked, our heads were still
attached, so we're reaching our figurative hands out from the peaceful
grave scene once again to startle you lucky victims with yet another
Aesthetics release. Why the horror movie motifs you ask? Well, they
kind of work as a convenient segue into a timely discussion about our
new CD, Two Bit Tricks, in which we've used those cheesy comic book,
monster magazine, novelty trick adds from the '60's and '70's as kind of
a slightly bent design concept. But we've dedicated a whole page on this
site to the new CD, so I'll not delve too deeply into it right now. No,
instead, I'll once again take up this premium home page space to
enthusiastically thank all the DJ's and MD's out there in radio land who
took our last release, Drunk In Disneyland, out of its pretty little jewel
case and played the hell out of it. We were thrilled with the reception
our first national release, Incunabula, had, but Drunk In Disneyland
went well beyond our wildest expectations, charting at tons of stations,
and going to and holding the number one chart position at a few
stations where the thing just seemed to go nuts. After all our hard work,
it's nice to see the band on a chart, and especially nice to see it on top of
a chart. It's nice because it means that our stuff is getting played, getting
listened to, and we're actually infusing a little Aesthetics style Rock into
the lives of folks across the country. After all, that's why we're doing this
in the first place. We'd also like to send out a big "thanks" to the folks at
the nationally syndicated Dr. Demento Show for playing Drunk In
Disneyland as part of their "demented diet songs" show. We've been
fans of the good doctor for years, but certainly never expected to actually
become part of the show. One bad trip to Disney World and one odd
song later, and voila!
