Thanks for all that showed up to the Ottobar show to rock out with Liquor Bike, Landspeed and us. LB rocked as if they didn’t stop playing…it was great to see so many old friends. You old bastards need to come out more often! Anyhoo…we’re taking a bit of a break for now. We’re going to work on some new stuff soon and hope to be back playing in early ‘09. By then, ska should be back in and stretchy funk pants will be all the rage with bass players. Ah, memories.
In this time of stock market speculation and the fear mongering being perpetuated by the media at large to lull us into complacency so that the ol’ boys club of corporate criminals can buy us, and future generations, out for pennies on the dollar*, you need something you can count on! You need something that is real, tangible, even squeezable. This Friday @ the Ottobar, that very thing is being made available to you; a real, honest rock show!
Join us Friday as we warm up your sleeping ears and hearts to the sounds of a re-united (for one night only!) Liquor Bike. Landspeed! Record is also along for this outpouring of hope and tinnitus.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is an accompanying art show taking place upstairs from 6-9pm curated by LB’s David K. It will feature all sorts of memorabilia of the Baltimore rock/indie scene from the late 80’s thru the 90’s. It will be awesome…and, there are pics of Al when he was skinny- it’s true!
——————————————-
Our pledge to you: if we tank this show and our stock falls as a result, while we may take a federal bali-out, we WILL NOT accept our pre-planned incentive package that was penned behind closed doors. HONEST!
* This is not necessarily the view of Pulaski…we read it on a blog or something.
We had a blast @ HampdenFest and were glad you joined us, if you were there. We always love to make new fans, especially if they are indigenous. We’re hoping to have some pics up soon- especially of the after show photo session featuring us sun burned and be-moustached!
Saturday, Sept. 13th- The Hampden Fest!
We close down the fest @ 6pm on the Atomic Books stage…what more could

Friday, Sept. 26th - Ottobar - Liquor Bike 10 year Reunion Show!!!
We are not kidding…the Liquor Bike 10 year reunion show- w/ Landspeed
Record! This isn’t some school type reunion where folks awkwardly mingle and
comment on how fat each other has gotten and/or how much botox work they’ve
gotten done- no sir! It’s all of the above with skull crushing rock and lots
of drinking! We may pull out a Sick song or two if we can figure out the
complex chord structures and delicate harmony interplays. On the reals.

Michael Whiles over at the newly formed Bmore Live gave us a great write-up and an interview. An excerpt: “A healthy sense of humor doesn’t necessarily mean clowning around. Too often in music, humor is used to disguise a lack of talent, but nothing could be further from the truth with Pulaski.” Thanks Michael! Check out the full article here.
It is with much sadness that we report our cancellation of the Black Hole show. Roy just found out that he must attend a mandatory out-of-town work conference. All tickets for this show won’t be honored at our next performance: Friday, Sept. 25th @ Ottobar - opening up the Liquor Bike Reunion Show w/ Landspeed Record!!!
This just in: Roy faxed over the outline for his conference-
By the looks of it, he will have his hands full. Go Roy!
Join us and Test Pattern Radio at the Black Hole Rock Club in Dundalk! This is our first time playing there…the club looks pretty cool and has a bunch of levels and such. So, make sure you can sleep in Saturday and help us rock the ‘Dalk.

Our good friend (and lyrical contributor/political advisor), Nick Kujawa, though it would be a good idea to film us making our latest record, You’re Dead To Me, I Love You. 4 years, 30 hours of film, a record recorded twice, some extra hard drives, and some tears later, “The Love and Death of Pulaski” emerged in conjunction with the record. Now, through a special deal with AardVark Audio Visual, it has been posted to YouseTube.com and embed here for your viewing pleasure- in 8 bite-size bits.
P.s. - we didn’t win the Artscape thing, though, it was an honor to be nominated. Thanks to all that voted!
It doesn’t get any better in Baltimore than to get an endorsement by the venerable City Paper. Even though they are owned by an out-of-town conglomerate and base their content on selling ad space in a dead-tree weekly newspaper, they are in step with all that is ART in Baltimore. So, take the advice of the City Paper and vote Pulaski for Artscape!
Pulaski was chosen out of 40 bands to compete for a spot on the Saturn stage at this year’s Artscape! Now we need millions of votes from you — the interweb generation.
Yes, now YOU can make a difference in something that really matters!
So vote, vote, vote — early and often.
If elected, we promise to make complete fools of ourselves in from of tons of people and important, national bands.
Who do you want answering the phone at 3am?
The answer is simple — us.
Thank you for your support, fellow American.
