“We Come from the Swamp”

We decided last year to stop being a band, but we finished our album first. We Come from the Swamp is twelve tracks long and we’re offering it for free (or for whatever you’d like to pay) through Bandcamp. Please listen, download, and share.

Thanks for supporting us! We had a lot of fun doing this, and we’re grateful for all of the friends we’ve made along the way.

Pizza! — Big Mammoth Skull from Caitlin Craggs on Vimeo.

Our great friend Caitlin Craggs directed this beautiful new video for us. She also stars in it! The video premiered a couple of days ago on Arcade44, which also has a short feature on us. Thanks to Caitlin for making the video, and thanks to Annick Mayer for debuting the video.

Three new songs – available now for free

We’ve been hard at work on our new album for a long time, so it’s nice to finally release some of the jams to the world! Here are “Riding Through the Jungle” and “Buttersaw,” available as free downloads! As a bonus, we’ve included Kid Infinity‘s incredible remix of “Jungle,” which Geoff has been performing live with the group all summer.

Lottery League recap

Over the past month, Pizza! members were put randomly into three new bands as part of LA’s LOTTERY LEAGUE. Each group made recordings. Here are links to free downloads by the bands:

• Fooly Cooly (featuring Duncan) – “Make a Fooly Out of Me”
• Magii (featuring Geoff) – Into the Forest with Magii (3-song EP)
• Positive Outreach Program (featuring Tyler) – “P.O.P. Anthem”

The above photograph was taken from Charles Mallison’s Facebook album “First We Take Manhattan.” Charles is an excellent photographer, and he snapped a lot of cool images of the night.

Thanks so much to the Council of Chiefs for allowing us to participate in this project. It was such a good experience and it was an honor to be a part of it.

Lottery League Video Flyers

We mentioned that we were involved in the LA Lottery League, which is having its BIG SHOW tomorrow. Three of us are participating in the league, which has put us in new bands with strangers and given us a month to prepare for our performance.

Here are two video flyers for the Big Show, featuring Pizza! members. Thanks to Dalton Blanco for these.

Here’s P.O.P. (Positive Outreach Program), including Tyler:

Here’s Magii, including Geoff:

Come to the show tomorrow for your only chance to see these new groups. Also, click here for previews of some of the other rad Lottery League bands…

Greetings from the Swamp!

Pizza! has been “hard at work” on some new jamz. Here’s the footage:

“Bogus Rimshots” reviewed in LA Record #101; Free Show tonight!

The new issue of L.A. Record has been released, and it features a review of our Bogus Rimshots from the Fourth cassette. In case you haven’t seen L.A. Record, you should know that it’s the best and biggest music publication in Los Angeles and can be found for free at newsstands, venues, and record stores all around Southern California (full disclosure – we, uh, “know” some of the people who write for the magazine). If you haven’t heard Bogus Rimshots, click here to buy it from Kill/Hurt Tapes – but hurry, there are only about 30 copies left!

If you’re digitally inclined, the album – a compilation of our favorite tracks from the past few years – is available on iTunes via Manimal Vinyl.

We are also playing a Free Show tonight at the Echo (1822 Sunset Blvd.), which is also the only show we have on our schedule before the end of the year. It’s not necessarily our LAST show of the year, but it certainly might be…

We play at 10pm. Opener Halloween Swim Team plays at 9pm, closer the Sweet Hurt plays at 12am, and headliner Evan Voytas (featuring Pizza! member Duncan and Pizza! collaborator Caitlin). RSVP on Facebook.
