Hey,
It’s been a while. How are ya? Good? Good. I’m good, too. I can’t believe I never mentioned this before… but our friend Nico Sy has joined Välmart on guitar. And guess what? He’s a chef, too. How did I end up in a band with two chefs? Can you believe it? We’re going to have to turn our shows into cookouts or something… That’s not a bad idea. I’ll get back to you on that one. Gonna record soon. We didn’t actually even finish the last time we tried to record… shit got in the way. I bet, with a little luck, we’ll have something sooner, and if not, later. Either/or.

Randy Marsh

I’m going to be Randy Marsh for Halloween, as long as I can get my lazy ass to the store to get a wig and some black hair dye (for my mustache) and a green overshirt, and maybe an obama shirt for underneath, that will show itself later in the night, when I’m properly sauced.

This is kinda cool… dude got arrested and decided to imitate Randy Marsh… nice.

We are going to record some “songs” on April 29, 2009 at Big Game Lodge Studios in “Van Nuys”. What this means is that Coors Light stock will rise, steaks will “cook”, a/c will blast. We’ll be re-amping, double heading, leaving old “strings” on my bass, “calling” friends to “do” little hand claps, you know, like the pros do “it”. Does anyone have a “video” camera they wanna “lend” us?

The time has come!

Very excited to announce that Välmart will be recording two songs sometime over the next two weeks and the music will be available for download as soon as its done. Stay tuned, friends!

Is it Silver? Is it Gold? It’s a Silverish Gold. Välmart!
