new tunes and fun in radio flyers
November 13, 2004

My dearest friend,

Tune in Tokyo: On Sunday, Nov. 14th @ 10:30 p.m. the cut*off will be on 88.7 KTCU "the Good Show". You can tune in at 88.7 on your fm dial or if you are out of state or out of the frequency area just follow these simple steps to listen on your computer:
Step 1: go to http://www.goodshow.net/
Step 2: click on streaming audio
Step 3: click where it says "click here" after reading
"To listen to our broadcast online" in the left corner
It is that simple to fill your Sunday night with joy and pleasure that will tide you over for years. This will be the first time our newly recorded songs will be provided for the public. Listen and tell us what you think of the new recordings and our radio voices. The squid has informed us that for all those that do not listen he will start a devastating yet believable rumor about them. So, you better do as you are told. You better listen to the radio.

Radio is a sound salvation,
the cut*off

where is the cut*off?
August 26, 2004

friend,
 
                 bad news out of cut*off land....kyle recently broke his wrist trying to break cement blocks in a tae kwon do tournament and is in a cast....he was attempting to break the record previously held by area tae kwon do legend michael "bloodstain" hutchison....dark karl is now slightly disabled karl for the next month or so....we've had to cancel some stuff, but we'll be coming back at you like a tornado of teeth and fingernails at the end of september....we're playing the dallas music festival around that time so you should receive an update....also, the squid has decided that kyle shouldn't suffer alone, so he's agreed to get punched in the kidney once a day until kyle's cast is removed....that means if you see the squid on the street, at the mall, or anywhere else, be sure to sneak up from behind him and give him a right hook for kyle....we'll have him peeing blood in no time....so remember to keep the laces out and you'll hear from us soon....go groundhogs...

the cut*off is inviting you to start your weekend on Thursday, May 27th at the Curtain Club in Deep Ellum. We will be headlining so bring your friends and have them bring their friends and so on. Also, the cut*off will be playing May 28th at Lone Star in Coppell with Rezonwood and American Idle. the cut*off will be playing 2nd but, get there early to see Clay Aiken sing the blues and stay late to see Rezonwood do the robot for their cd release. Updates have been made to our website so check it out and see if you have a picture on our site. If you don't, search for Socks (our photographer) at theses next shows and bug him to take a picture of you. This will be the perfect ending to a tough week for Chad. Chad had a final this week in his Sex Education class and has been really stressed out. Chad has agreed to this:
the 1st fan to bring him a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips will get to stand next to him during the song of their
choice. Sounds fun, Chad loves his fans!
this weekends forecast is clear skies and plenty of rock.

Quick Recap:
-Thursday May 27th Curtain Club (www.curtainclub.com)
-Friday May 28th Lone Star (www.lonestar-countryclub.com)
-1st bag of salt and vinegar chips= 1 song standing by Chad

guess what, we're still a band!
January 12, 2004

hey guys,
 
            lots to cover....first off, we're sorry we haven't played in so long...there was some trouble in cut off land....jayson came to practice one day demanding that he become the new lead singer...kyle objected and began to argue, so jayson hit kyle in the face with a guitar pedal....2 days later jayson apologized and gave kyle a dozen roses and a journey t-shirt....kyle then stepped up like a team captain and said "from now on, we're friends forever, always we'll be there...just like the zack attack! "....so with that out of the way our reunion tour 2004 begins on january 17th at club clearview in deep ellum at 9:15....it's been a while, so here are a few easy steps to follow...
 
1. make up an excuse for your parents so you can be out after 10pm.
2. take a shower and part your hair
3. tuck in your undershirt
4. bring a ziplock bag
5. get to club clearview at 9pm
6. buy the squid a shot of gin
7. sit back and watch as a rock show ensues
 
also, visit www.frankblack.net to find info on the pixies tribute album...we have a track on there and you can download it from the site...
