MONKEY VS. ROBOT

The Monkey vs. Robot circus punks are almost all gone. Last time I checked, we only had 3 sets left. Only 75 sets of the 16-inch punks were made. They were printed and put together all by hand and signed by Vinnie. The new line of MVSR toys and the new website will be up soon.

If you haven??™t heard about this incredible tour by now, you must be living under a rock. Gym Class Heroes will be playing a ton of tunes off their amazing new full-length CD ???The Papercut Chronicles.???

PUNCHLINE

Punchline just got back from Japan. Fe rachio shetai kuremaska? They had a wonderful time because thats what you do in Japan.

They are announcing plans for a headlining tour at the end of this week and have a new website coming soon and a new video and a new song and a lot of new things. Maybe even a new table and chairs.

My name is Adam and I am wearing nothing but a shirt. No bottoms, ladies. No bottoms. If you like their music, you should see them perform it with their own wooden instruments.
