Actually, this post has nothing to do with Valentine's Day, but we called it ISB Valentine because Valentine's day is only 3 days away!  YAY!  Well, the boys of ISB are currently working on a side project, which is why you haven't seen much news on this Incredible Shrinking Page lately.  We are trying to grow up and learn to collaborate more effectively, and it's been an exciting journey.  Certainly, we will keep you posted with all that is new and exciting!  Now, go hug your lover!

Howdy there!  It's almost Christmas here and we ISB boys are shopping and wrapping gifts.  We hope you're having a restful holiday season.  Hope you enjoy our lil' Christmas diddy we wrote.  Happy Holidays once again!

New songs and new everything coming soon!

Oh, it's cold...like, REALLY cold!  This is probably the coldest October we can ever remember in Chicago...soooo, it makes us think about global warming... and it's a bit unsettling to be honest. 



So, ISB has been practicing hard.  We've been writing new music...we feel our most current song is a hybrid of genres...so, since it has no title at the moment, we're just calling it our Quentin Tarantino Western Gothic Song.  We have 6 new songs total at the moment, so stay tuned.



Paul had a burst of creative energy recently and started making an animated music video for Rise to the Clouds, so stay on the look out for that.  Stay warm!!!!  Well, if you're in Florida or California or Arizona or ...or....well...you might already be warm...but if you're cold, try to stay warm!  Talk soon!

 Good question!  Things are changing....in many ways....we are trying a new approach to our way of doing things as a band...as of now, we're writing new music.  We'll be in touch.  Hope all is well.  This summer was ridiculously cold...Paul has a cold right now and it's annoying because it's still summer.  Happy Labor Day weekend!

 Here ya go folks.  Many people think we are actually stick people.  So here, for the first time, you can see that we are human....oh, you'll probably want to click the pause button on the lower left hand corner of the screen or else your head might EXPLODE with two songs playing at the same time...arrrrggghhhh!!!!

Love him or hate him, there is no denying that he made a huge contribution to the music industry and this world.  This is a sad day. 

So, two days away is our MOBfest show and we are dang excited.  You'll meet George our pet Alien. Also, we are going to have an interview on Fearless Radio a few hours prior to the show.  So please follow the instructions below VERY carefully!!!!  If you screw them up!!!  OMG!!!  We don't want to think about what might happen if you mess up the following instructions!!!!

okay....maybe there really is no need for us to have typed out those instructions in giant red letters...and honestly, what would really happen if you didn't happen to follow them perfectly?  We are just very dramatic people and felt the need to type them out in big red letters just to get you all emotional for no reason.  See you at MOBfest!

Um....we are speechless
 

The alien thing will be revealed to you later - don't be alarmed!  Aliens have feelings, just as we do.  We are simply happy to have been invited to perform Chicago's renowned MOBfest again this year.  By the way, our performance this year is at Fiesta Cantina in Wrigleyville, which is at 3407 N Clark, Chicago, IL.  They have killer margaritas, and a beaming station to beam you up to the second floor where the actual music will go down.  The show begins at 9pm and there are 3 other great acts performing that night.

 Too tired to type out the details now, but will in morning...zzzzzz (this is a pic from our show at Mickey's in Michigan this past weekend)........NOW I'M AWAKE AGAIN (this is 2 days later)!!!  Details for our show at Underground Lounge on Saturday night as follows!...but first I want to say, we are really stoked to be performing with good Chicago friends King Sparrow.  Also, please check out Goes Cube, from New York, who is headlining the show.  We think they are amazing, and in our opinion, they have a very Deftones vibe, which means this will be a LOUD show!
