So i (ben) used to play in this band called PERSONS. not to sound arrogant, but we were really good. no one ever knew who we were though. the only record of us on the internet was just put up by our friend Dave, and he decided to make this strange video documenting our last show ever. check it out if you are really bored. this is what Dave wrote about it:
The best band to ever come out of Abington, PA, was a band called the Lain Meyers. They later streamlined the band and became “The Persons.” Pete Leonard, Steve Heise, and Ben Daniels all drank beer one time. they went on to make microtonal music, play in bands like Sunny Day in Glasgow, Rifle Nice, Dragon City, and 500 other bands.
I made this movie to skew and destroy the memory of The Persons and leave their only record on the internet as a ghosty slo-momemo-ry. Then I superimposed Jim Lewis lip-synching the rocky horror picture show in order to further corrupt the image.
Live from megan meginley’s apartment in west philly - 2003? special guests stars: all of the meginleys and some white kids dancing.
we’ve officially started recording a new album. every weekend we get to use this big room in a dance studio in a tiny town in new jersey that is right on the delaware river and basically the nicest place within 2 hours of philadelphia. it’s really fun. there are lots of mirrors and kids gymastic padding hopefully it will be done by thanksgiving and out early next year! here are some pics.
this is a wall collage i made one night 2 years ago and then totally forgot about. it’s called “I Could Talk About Wine and Organic Food but Only Because They Made Me”
so we got back from europe last week. the trip was so much fun and it was nice to get back to the UK with the full band this time! In each place we went Josh would buy a whole bunch of postcards and then he would draw cartoons of what we had been up to and then he would mail those to various friends back home. i think he’s going to try to collect them all and make some sort of book out them which we’ll put up here. it should be like a tour diary type thing but, you know, interesting. but i think for me the best thing was getting to wear sweaters in july. i need to move to a place where that can happen.
now we’re all back and starting to get ready to record the next record. before europe we spent the summer recording demos and we are excited to see how they turn out when we record them “for real”. the album is not going to be called ‘evil with evil against evil” anymore tho. i dont know what it will be called.
