Wow! This is good ol Matty. Listen up ladies and gentlemen, you all look great. Ah, it feels good to be sitting in my room, on my computer, listening to Classic Case's cover of Soundgarden's "Fell on Black Days." We just finished up The Black Unicorn Tour with our buds in Classic Case, Showbread, and The Fall of Troy. It was a great ol time full of pizza, burgers, babes, dudes, dead batteries, broke trailers, sprained ankles, bruised knuckles, black eyes, mustaches, punching wars at gay hotels in Portland. Here's to Denny's, Taylor Gahm, being hot, Me lookin good, lookin at kids sweatin their faces off, Downtown Singapore for hopping on those shows. The shows were all amazing and I just wanted to go ahead and throw out one of them there tip of the ol hat kinda thing to all you guys, from me, the rest of the band, and the rest of the bands on the tour. We couldn't have asked for more awesome bands and especially more awesome kids to come out to our headlining tour. You made us smile, we made you smile. 32 shows in 33 days, thanks Dave. Everyone is happy. Now, leave me be. I got stuff to take care of. And by that I'm probably just gonna go back to sleep for a few days.

By the way, continue to support the other bands as well as our good friend Will. He has a new label now and he just put out the Black Unicorn split featuring us and Classic Case covering each other and some more, including an unreleased track by us called "Cape Fear." Find out more at myspace.com/futuretenserecords or futuretenserecords.com

Keep checkin out our website for more news about our new album, Suck Out The Poison, which should hit stores this fall. I love you all.

That last I love you all part was not really true. I can't possible love everyone. Plus, who knows, you could be a really really crappy person, and I don't love crappy people. Fo sho! Peace.

PS. I have a copy of our new record and you don't. I win! Trust me though, you really really really really want it. No seriously, you do. You know I'm right.

this is matt, the bass player for He Is Legend. I hope you read this and feel as good about it as i do. cause it feels pretty good, and cool.

first things first. bamboozle was definitely a sight to see, i don't think i've witnessed hanging out with as many bands as we know all at the same time and just walking around and seeing band dudes and babes everywhere and seeing all sorts of babes and dudes just in one area at the same time. there were so many people there and it was so hot and i passed out in our van cause i was hot and tired and sick of walking around cause there was so much to see. but it was fun, we played terribly and sounded even worse and we rocked and rolled and spit and did what we do and it was a lot of fun for all of us. i even got hit in the face with a shoe during our second song. gotta watch out for them flyin shoes. kids are freakin mean and crazy.

secondly, lastly, and most importantly, its just me and schuylar left out here. the rest of the boys are enjoying themselves at home in wilmington north carolina. chillin, being awesome, preparing for our headlining tour later on this month. we just have bass and vocals to do on the new record and it will all be finished and dumb and awesome for you guys to wrap your ears around. enjoy this post almost as much as i didn't writing it. i feel weird. i just woke up, and diet coke with ice is amazing. cali, fools.

I have full access to their computerweb system and i brought my camera. So I uploaded some pictures from Sound City Studio and here they are (captions provided) for you to enjoy/not enjoy.

This is Mckenzie and Evetts hangin out in the control room, being weird.

um, ok there is no excuse for this. the lack of entries from us. its not so much that we are hard at work, bustin it out, layin it down, keepin it real for all our homies. We are just some of the laziest people on this planet. No we haven't uploaded pictures from the drum studio onto the web. No we haven't taken many pictures from the other studio to even think about putting on the web. We did however upload pictures from the drum studio onto this computer i hold in my hands right now as i type. BUT, i don't feel like taking the time to work on it, haha. oh man. anyway, i'm promising you we will get on it at some point. Booze, Adam, the guitar player for He Is Legend is hard at work in the studio laying down pitch harmonics and dive bombs. The rest of us are shacked up in our hotel in Cypress, Cali, a few miles from Huntington Beach. Me and Schuylar are at this coffee shop across the street, greeting locals as they walk by. I have to say the times have been fun and the record is coming along just as we expected...dumb. We are scheduled to fly out to NJ this weekend to play the awesome Bamboozle Festival at the Meadowlands. that will be fun. we get to hang out with some dudes and babes we know, and see our beloved merch guy and our really good looking tour manager.

As of now we have some songs with full guitar tracks on them and we're hard at work getting the rest of them done, hopefully this week. lemme tell you, it sounds like an angry pregnant tank destroying hospitals. and that is totally literal. its wrecking havoc on Huntington and as soon as we can get it back in its "garage" we'll tame the beast and put some gnarly vocals and bass tracks on it that would make a horse cry and explode at the sound of it. so, thats gonna happen and its kinda weird but hey, what can ya do. we'll get back to you soon, hopefully with pictures, but probably not. the pictures we took would make your eyes burn. which might not be a bad thing considering you wouldn't be able to see how absolutely hideous we look right now. but yeah, take it safe dudes and babes. Cali, fool.

oh man, ok. well, we're sitting in a hotel room in reno, nevada. our manager is little and half mexican, but he's cute and we love him. we're playing some sort of college sports party thing, something to do with wake boarding. i don't really know. all i know is on the drive here it was snowing and its april and nevada. i didn't think it snowed in nevada. at all. ever.

the past couple days have been quite eventful. we've had since monday off, so we've just been chillaxin' a lil bit. our good buddy scottie whiteside came to the ol HB and hung out with us for a night, along with corndog/nuts. that was fun. we also hung out with some friends that took us out to some real rad place. its always nice to do something besides staring at a bunch of ugly dudes in the same room for hours upon hours straight.

we also made it down to San Diego to hang out with our booking agent and our buds in The Receiving End of Sirens. Thursday we were supposed to go to the Warped Tour kick off party at the Key Club in LA, but us being us and also being southern and not very smart got our van towed. Ya see, in the good ol' land of NC, when a parking meter says "9am - 4pm" that usually means after 4pm you don't have to pay to park there. Apparently in LA it means "hey this is part of the street after 4pm and you can't park here." So, like I said, us being us, we walked around LA for a good couple hours, met up with TREOS, hung out, whatnot. Came back, no van. Not even our van. The van we're driving that is. You can't, or you're not supposed to be able to, get a car out of impound if you dont own it. So Steve is stuck for a couple hours, trying to get the van out. Me and Mckenzie hitch a ride to the Knitting Factory to see TREOS, yada yada.

Anyway, that was just a little update from our short time off. We go back to HB tomorrow and start the rest of recording. Fun stuff. Mckenzie is huge and is wearing a Pantera hoodie (rock!), Steve is reading with a beanie on, go figure, Nate, our manager, is laying on the couch looking surprisingly African American. T-booze, thats Adam the guitar player for He Is Legend, nowhere to be found. I miss you Adam, the guitar player for He Is Legend.

Oh yeah, bought an SD card reader, I think mckenzie has an SD card in his camera, I however have an xD card. so I lose, and I have to go buy a USB cable and get those pics from Sound City up here, or somewhere. Word, Cali fools...uh I mean, Nevada fools. Get some.

hmmmmmm, ok, here's the deal. this is matt. we have tons of pictures of Sound City Studio, but us, being the smart people we are, forgot to bring USB cables to hook our cameras up to our computers. so, we'll have to fix that problem and then we will start posting some pics for you.

its monday, 11:45am, me and steve and mckenzie are gonna do some dang laundry cause dirty clothes aren't that cool anymore. steve is watching some weird nature show. Adam the guitar player for He Is Legend is wearing a hat and a mustache.

we have the next couple days off for editing purposes so we're gonna spend it doing laundry and eating really bad food. k, enough for now. love you fool, cali. bring it, i'm retarded.

so hey, this is matt.

um, i woke up this morning and i had a little problem yesterday, which has turned into a big problem. Fred Jr, on my cheek. And if you don't know what i'm talking about, I'm referring to pimples. Zits. I hate them. I'm 23, why do i have a pimple on my face. ok so that has nothing to do with today really and i'm dumb, and forget what i just said, i'm sure adam the guitar player for He Is Legend will have something to say about it later.

ok so here we are, we have one more song left to do drum tracks for. bout to get some good ol breakfast in my belly and play a song a million times and i'm not even being recorded. well, i am, but not for serious, fool. so i took the time this morning to capture a heartfelt moment on my camera phone. here it is for you to enjoy. a nice quiet mckenzie-steve-bagel moment in the studio.

thats how we do in cali fool. lates.

um... this is matt williams the bass player for He Is Legend.

i think i'm addicted to Guitar Hero. Buy it, play it, love it. love you.

i can't get enough. they should make Guitar Hero illegal cause i'm stupid and i don't know what i'm talking about cause i've been in this studio way too long way too much this week and i'm going crazy and i hate facial hair, i hate growing it, i hate looking at it, i hate the way it looks on each and every one of us. its gross. and when i say gross, i really mean amazing. and when i say hate i really mean absolutely adore. yes, i said adore. stop looking at this entry. i swear on my life, it will actually make you a dumber person. for serious, fool. cali.
