Well folks, as promised by the Nilla earlier, here’s some video footage from last night’s debut show in Columbia, SC.  This is our set closing double shot of “Robot With Aids” and “Man Machine.”  What do you think?  We really want to thank everyone who showed up to support us.  If you couldn’t make it, there will be a next time.

In addition to the video footage, here’s  a live shot taken by superfan Julie Owens.  ROCK.  Thanks ma’am.

Thanks to all of you who rocked with us last night. We know it was a school night and we know that most of you had to work in the morning, myself included. For those that missed out, not to worry. The next blowout spectacular super*rock show is just around the corner. We will announce that date a little later so that all you new peeps that just heard about us can have a shot at getting some tickets.

I am sure that some video and other media will be published very soon on this site. Check back for that. Also check out the reverbnation.com page (LINK ON THE SIDEBAR —>) and play with some of the neato features we have setup there.

If you have anyone comments, song ideas, lyrics, a request of any kind, please call our LOVELINE at: 803-712-DEAD (3323)

We need your help! The police just won’t leave us alone. On my way back from Taco Bell heading down Bush River Road, a porker pulled me over  just for the fuck of it. Why do I always get pulled in places where people i know can see. This time it was next door to my current employer. The pig never asked for my insurance card or registration. He also did not approach me until his two backup swine showed up. They then asked me to “step out of the car” and i got searched. “anything in the car” the cop snorted and I replied “Yeah, but you can’t find it!”. I am paraphrasing of course, I think my exact words were “no officer, but you are more than welcome to check”. Anywho, the cob roller gave me my license back just after telling the other two hogs “he’s clean”. You could see the disappoint in all of their faces. It must have been the same face that each of them saw on their parents face when their announced they were going to be cops. “bye fuckers” i screamed silently as I pulled away and i prepared to face all the questions from my employers who saw the whole thing.

This just in…apparently, the Lovecrafts will be headlining our first show in 6 years.  That’s right.  January 13, 2010 at Columbia’s New Brookland Tavern.  We’ve created this fancy schmancy Facebook group for the show.  Come check it out.  We hope to see you guys there.  We need the support so we can show Columbia how it’s done.  There’s been a lack of fun in the local music scene, and we’re here to bring it back.  Check it…

The Lovecrafts return on Facebook.

Here’s a quick single cam recording of the opening song of our set, “Chicken and Porn.” This was recorded in the practice space that we can longer practice in without having to pay a ridiculous amount of money. So, enjoy…

Chicken and Porn

So, with the upcoming show looming in the not so distant future (10 days to be exact), the “man” says we can’t practice at Allin’s swanky place anymore. Apparently, we’re too loud. And since you guys aren’t giving us all your hard earned cash yet, we can’t afford to pay the fine if it happens again. But, don’t worry. The LoveCrafts will rock on. Just in a new undisclosed location. On the plus side, the cop that came to put the handcuffs on rock was really apologetic. He even continually said how good we sounded. ROCK!

By the way, more rehearsal footage soon.

Here’s a clip from a practice a while back.  This was only the 2nd time the full band had played this song.  Both times that day.  This is how the song started out.  It’s since been added onto and full lyrics are done along with a new ending.  But…this is the beginning.

What do you get when you combine two members of one of Columbia’s most notorious original rock bands, unfortunately known more for their “Rock & Roll life style,” than their music, and three members of Camden/Columbia’s most notorious original rock bands, fortunately known for combining, humor, performance art and rock/punk? Well, that’s a hard question to answer. However, you do get four extremely talented musicians with a plethora of crazy ideas! Hello, we are a new band called THE LOVECRAFTS, and we would like to take you along with us for each step of our musical journey in a way that no other musical group has ever done before! We want to let our fans be involved in each step of the way in terms of our creative process, music, & shows via computer technology and cameras. We intend to stream each band practice on our site for your viewing in order to let you get to know us better and to see/hear how we work together to make music.  As music fans we have always wondered how certain artist came up with a rhythm or what inspired the songs themselves, before they got into the hands of a producer and were fine tuned. We are giving the public the opportunity that we all have been robbed of, to see works in progress, completed tunes, personal conflicts, etc. That way you will never have to buy some book about us twenty years from now to speculate what we did or did not do behind closed doors!  We want to be honest and open with the public and let you be the fly on the wall at rehearsals and band meetings. Also, we intend to completely and utterly entertain you in the process via said live practices and our concerts and records! Meet THE LOVECRAFTS, because we want to meet you!
