So, I guess you want to know what's happening in the warped world of The Mad Laugh. Well, let's see...the 10 cases of Boulevard Wheat beer that the band was given by the sponsors of last month's Hooters show are long gone. Red has dyed his hair jet black and threatens to change his beard color from red to blue. Don't know what's got into that boy...by the way, you should have been there at the Hi-Lo last Saturday (10-9) to see his Sid Vicious impersonation. It was quite impressive, and Red would surely be proud if he could only remember it...



The Mad Laugh wishes to thank Mike Watt for filling in immediately after Baldi's departure.

As for Baldi himself, he is still very much involved with the Mad Laugh's music, as an engineer, a producer and sound man.

Bands you need to check out so you can say you knew them before they went national: The Fellowship Students. Ghosts of Monkshood. Little League Hero. Twenty Minutes to Vegas. Basement Dynasty. Ambassador Bill. I could name a few more, but the point I'm making is that the Oklahoma music scene, whether anyone else knows it or not, is a hotbed of musical creativity. We hope that we can hold our own in the pantheon of Oklahoma bands with big plans.

Okay...in other news...Eric Wheeler took Jimbo to dinner this afternoon and tried to make him eat fish oil sauce. Jimbo refused when he learned what it was, as Jimbo never eats seafood of any sort (and rarely tolerates the asian cuisine that Eric is so fond of). It is, however, interesting to note that Jimbo actually claimed he liked the stuff before he knew what it was.

The band is currently working on at least five new songs, which will hopefully be ready to play onstage soon. The next show we're playing is on Oct 28th at LiT in Bricktown. Last time the band played there it was a truly incredible evening of rockin', and this time promises to be even more festive, as several will no doubt be celebrating the upcoming Halloween observance.

Other shows in November and December have been confirmed but I don't have the dates with me right now and I don't want to screw up and post a wrong one.
