Just got done watching the music video for New Day, fantastic job. It looked like there was a little bit of fun happening. Wish I could have been there. I liked how it started out a BBQ, then a house party, then a full on Banana Convention concert. Oh yeah, the dance line was fantastic.

I just got done watching y'all in Chicago at the HOUSE OF BLUES!! Nice work TBC!! I was fist pumping and screaming like a girl whenever Pood was shown. It was all so very exciting. You guys did a fantastic job. Out of the three bands that played, you were the best. I don't even remember the other two bands. Who were they? Exactly. Great work Bananas. Shar, your shoes got a lot of coverage and you looked and sounded absolutely incredible. By the way, what was up with the pickles? Fletch wanted chocolate instead? Great performance, you all nailed it.

Hey Fananas it has been a while but HELLO! So TBC has new and exciting things coming up. We will be playing for a chance to win 10,000 from a competition through 7-11/Slurpee, and also for a third year in a row we will be featured at the WARP tour. Finally we are slowing down our schedule to begin writing new songs for a new album and also to bring new and exciting visuals to our live performance. If you have any ideas for us whether it be looks,songs anything at all LET US KNOW! Remember we don't do all of this for just us it is also done for you! Remember that and we'll be seeing you soon.

So the studio build is getting roughed in and it's lookin' good. I have a west-coast trip this week, but when I return and get the construction finished, (lots of finish work to do and such) what do you guys think of having an open-house-keg-party thing?
Invite fellow musicians/friends over, socialize, show 'em the new production facilities, launch "Confucius Records" officially, and just have a good time hanging out... Maybe sometime in early December?
Anyway, just something I'm thinking about. I've been to a few openings in CA and it's typically a wine and cheese fau-fau thing, but since our vibe is more garage rock --Shlitz and nachos seems like a better bet.

We've had three practices with what may end up being the permanent new guitar player in the band, and it's been going real well. He's no Ray Torres (who is??) but we don't want him to be. He's doing his own thing and doing it well. There'll probably be a rocky start, but once we hit our stride with this guy, things are gonna get real good. Be sure to come out to White's on November 14/15 for his first Saginaw area shows and judge for yourself!

This was from the recent edition of the Cincinnati City Beat:
12 a.m. The Banana Convention (Saginaw, Mich.)
Pop/Rock
At any high school battle of the band contest (I've been to too many), you'll find your expected sound-of-the-moment bands, but inevitably a group of kids takes the stage (kids you know are all class clowns) and plays some weird carnival music with surrealistic lyrics about Star Wars. The smiles don't leave their faces (to be fair, they're probably all stoned) and, almost every time, they end up being the highlight of the night. The Banana Convention is that band all grown up. And I love them for it.
Dig It: No Doubt: The Early Years, mixed with liberal amounts of Steve Martin albums and ... a banana, of course.

Ironically, a bunch exist. I have a REALLY huge iTunes playlist of demos actually. As the band evolves, it's more about quality than quantity these days.
Believe me, I got tons of stuff on the hard drives. Tunes of a caliber that other bands wouldn't hesitate to put online. (and have and do)
The BC demo stuff is already superior compared to songs that the band used to consider 'finished'. For instance, compare version 1 of "She Makes it Easy" to what it is on "EFDS." Knowhatimean?
Actually trying hard at producing and recording: this is a good thing.
Demos start with the band and then they decide how to rearrange the songs and instrumentation to make 'em better. Once the music cooks a bit, be assured you'll hear the best versions. Just getting through a song in the past and stuck to a CD was something of an accomplishment. Now, what the band is planning and how they're going about making the new album is a whole new deal.
We'll still post alternate versions of older songs and other playful demos, but since the BC is "in the studio" and trying their best, They're shaking up the process a little. Not to worry, tunes that don't make the album cut will have a digital home right here though.

Watch this.
It's Billy Holiday on one of her final TV appearances. She's reunited with Lester Young. They had a thing years before this recording. I can't explain it without writing some sort of thesis... but you don't even need to know the context between them, it becomes clear as she sings then listens to her old lover talk to her with music.
My friend Mike found this for me. I've only ever heard about it and it lives up to expectations.
50% of Billie is still 4 times as good as any contemporary singer.

That's why, when I've been checking out reviews, I just see if it's positive or negative (and most have been positive so far), and maybe just read the final summary paragraph. I've kept myself pretty spoiler free for this movie, as well as Batman, and can't wait to see it this Saturday

In the mean time I would like to say hello to all the Fananas and hope all is well with you. At out next few shows you will be hearing some rocking new tracks live!
These songs won't be off our NEW EP (which you should buy) or our full length album (if you don't have you should buy). They are fun, energetic, filled with soul and every banana is singing together in harmony! So come out to Whites Bar this Thursday the 8th and hear the new new new with the good ol' favorites!

We will only have a few EPs available tonight until the bulk order of them come through, so if you want one now, you better make it out to the show early and get one immediately! I have a feeling we just might sell out of all the copies we'll have on hand tonight.
A Dream By Rock
Monday, 14-Apr-08 08:26:49 EDT
Last night I had a dream. It went like this. Marshall and I were in a television studio/gas station, don't ask me, and we were waiting to go on. We could hear The Banana Convention performing behind the curtain/subway sandwiches. Salt N Pepa were also backstage with us. I asked if they needed anything and they told me to fetch and they threw Marshall down a hill and we rolled down the hill until we hit a front porch. We walked into the door and there was The Banana Convention performing. EVERY member of The Banana Convention. Bill, The Toe Dollies, Buddy, Christy, etc.... So, when we walked in, you motioned to us to get on stage. Then we sung a song and it has been going through my head all morning. All I remember is the chorus. It went like this: Always tell me that you love me and I will always tell you that I love you, too. Then my alarm went off.

It's two full weeks before our next show, and I don't know what to do with myself, so I wanted to stop by and say hi. So Hi! Hope you don't miss us too much.
You can pre-order our EP in the Merch section of the site, so you should do that. It's only $5! Or you can take advantage of the EP/T-Shirt combo and get both for only $10! That right there is a deal. Just call me Monty Hall. See y'all on the 18th!
Okay. It's not as bad as I thought. I balanced my checkbook which took two hours of going through everything and I found that I had a couple of decimal point errors. Also, I wrote a check to Pood for around 11 dollars quite some time ago which never got cashed and that screwed things up too. As it stands I'm not in the hole. I have less than a quarter tank of gas and only around $20 for the next two weeks, which is I'm sure going to gas, but I'm not in the hole yet. I may need to find a way to get some money to live on for the next two weeks but I'm trying other avenues before I bother my friends. Thanks folks, I appreciate the concern.

I wouldn't be able to buy it till we get paid though so I dunno if that helps at all with your current situation :(

Hey guys,
I'm posting from SXSW in Austin. Lots of pretentious indy rock rolled up into a few over-hip blocks of the LoneStar State.
Fun and Funny stuff.
Don't take this the wrong way, but the BC would kinda fit in here as y'all are better than the stuff I'm hearing... plus you got that Rust Belt anti-sheen authenticity... I guess you could call it that.
At any rate, the BC is a different vibe from the indy rock norm that's saturating this town right now.
I have a few leads on getting the BC's song's into a few indy films, but I'm still hunting for info on getting a slot somewhere around here in '09.
If, for nothing else, you guys should do this 'fest as it'll show you how other bands do their thing.
Later,

The video for their first single, "Mixed Up SOB", was directed by "Weird Al", my all time favorite. What a great combo! Check out the video for yourself right now!
Man what a weekend. Awesome shows and little sleep. When we got back from Czars I sleep for roughly 14 hours. I went to bed at 7pm and got up around 10:30 am. Maybe my math is a bit off but that is a lot of sleep!

I love the sound of an acoustic guitar. It is more emotional, more "real" If you know what I mean?
Maybe an acoustic Banana Convention CD? I could call MTV and see if they would start up UNPLUGGED again and put you on their show. I know that I would love it. Heck, if KISS can do UNPLUGGED, so could The BC.
By the way, I love Gerty at the end of the song.

The band has recorded a new version of one of our tunes specifically for premiere on the Z93 show "BackYard Buzz." It's a live-to-tape production nice and raw, like a good cut of filet mignon. Tasty flesh indeed.
Oily can fill in the details about the debut, but from what I've been messing with the mix is pretty cool for an 'in-the-living-room' kinda thing.
Be sure to check it out. I think Afrodytee and Oily'll be on interviewed on the program as well.

Don't listen to them Pooder. You have a nice bum. By the way, I think that there is too much swearing on this message board lately. My son has lost interest in your band because of this. I kid you not. He was reading this earlier this morning and got, seriously, upset over the words being typed here. On a side note, I really, really love the song MUSE! Mighty sounds so fantastic on that track. I think it sounds perfect the way it is. My son thinks you should not say the SH-- word, though. He liked it, until then. I think it fits perfectly in the song. Yeah kids!! I want to see all of you right now. I miss you all.

Awwww thanks Thumbs. That warmed the cockles of my heart. I don't hate the greats but I doesn't mean I have to like what they do. Its like Classic Books. What really makes them a classic? Was it Oprah when James Frey f'd her over and said all writers suck and these here Classics are what is good? Or is greatness decided on who is faster and can hit as many notes on the syncopated beats?
In all thanks for the nice comment and Ill be more open to Rush, King Crimson and what ever other stuff people say is great and Ill make my own assumptions. Love you fananas!

I agree, that's why my Wooten comment was fecitious. Musical histrionics never impress me. What's in between the notes is more important than the actual notes a lot of times. The best bass musicians really seem to grasp this concept.
I'm not a real musician, but I appreciate the folks who are and realize this.
Mingus I love.
Listen to "II BS" and you'll hear it.
Still, when Pood wants to go crazy on his strings, he can easily do it. Testament to the guy; he actually has the taste and discipline to know when to "behave."

I can totally hear Ray tearing it up on this. It is a slow chorused filled bass line much like what you would here on Kiss me Kiss me Kiss me,disintegration, and Head on the Door. So Fananas! if you love the Cure and you think thats what I get all my bass stuff from well this one you can tell for sure i did!

Hey All,
Lots of Fananas have been buggin' us about our recording schedule, looking for new tunes hot off the platter. Here's the scoop:
We've just finished doing a seriously extensive re-mix of our EP recorded during the summer last year and we're now in the process of having those songs mastered.
We also want to put one more additional gem onto the wax before it's released and the plan is to record the said particular fresh new tune this week. It's a simple song and will be an awesome addition to the EP. Wait for it... it'll be a nice surprise.
So, all said and done, the new disc will be in your hands in a few weeks. Cool huh?
Once that's done, we'll be following up the EP with the release of our LIVE album recorded at White's Bar. It seriously rocks. We are frightened of it. It's a big yellow monster and you're gonna luv it. We're toying with the idea of adding one more brand-new tune (that we're all enamored with) onto the LIVE record, and we'd like to addendum that to our '07 session as a bonus track when we play at White's Bar again next month. More plantain goodness for y'all!
After we lay that onto the grooves, then we'll send the whole Hot Burrito off to the musical mastering gods for one final layer of fiesta sauce to make it nice and spicy gooey.
You like? Well, that's not all. We're gonna support these tunes with a collection of music videos. You thought the BC was crazy onstage? Wait 'til you see us trying to act in front of the lens!
Later PotasiumHeads, --Dr. Bongo
p.s. - go to my DemoLab on the BC site for sneak peeks at a lot of this stuff

I must admit nastolga is not always a bad thing. I still throw in some old records and remember my early teens of being awkward and gangly. Ever time I listen to David Bowies Diamond Dogs it takes me back to when I wanted to feel like a hero and be the cool kid. Then I realized I read comics and have real records so that was out the window...not much has changed sadly.

I just read Pood's blog and it got me thinking how much music was always in my life. The only difference is, I do not feel the need to play an instrument. I would rather others do it and I will listen. I remember growing up with lots of different music. My favorite was in the "Family Room" listening to my Dad's 8-track. He had some good 8-tracks. I remember this one called, Funny Bones. It had some of those silly songs, HA I think there was one called that, too, I think there was one called Goofy Greats, also. Anyway, I remember songs like "Beans In My Ears" "Alley-Oop" "Hey Mister Custer" "Beep Beep" "May The Bird Of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose" I think that 8-track got me hooked on the weirdness of music. Could be why I listen to such bands as WEEN, Beck, Primus, and Cake. I tend to listen to the odder side of music. Thanks, Pood, for making me think of that stuff. I just so happened to find a zip file of that 8-track online. I am downloading now and I am going to be enjoying it again, soon. I will have to set up two bar stools in my house and listen to Beep Beep and when the song goes faster, I will run faster around the bar stools. Speaking of bar stools, Monte or Matt, what was the name of our basement game when we ran around the bar stools and then went into the other room to hide? Dang, this is one ADD riddled post. Thanks, Banana Convention.

Oh, you should hear your backup track on Eugene, it's hilarious. At one point you're supposed to sing, "They say when he dances his feet don't touch the ground."
I'm not sure what you said, but it's along the lines of, "Heb slazed in the prances bleb beets touch ground."

Did some more LIVE recording last night of the BC. Sounds really good. Perception isn't always reality, especially if you hear things from the stage as opposed to the room. So, the fact is the BC laid down some pretty crisp tunes.
Tweren't perfect, but that's why I like it. Very authentic.

hey Crush
Velveteen is not really a Cure inspired song...though I am known for that. It is like American music meets Violent Femmes. Lots of pop, lots of breaks with hand claps and good ol' fashion love for the lost art of the chorus
However I do have a song called The Killing Joke that can fill that love of the Cure in which we know I have and you all should. No please remember I do not rip of the Cure or David Bowie Fananas I am just a huge fan of these cool kats! But yes I will have some new tunes coming to rock your faces off!

If your guitar won't stay in tune, that's good. It'll teach you how to listen for pitch when you have to re-tune the strings.
That's very important.
Once you start to hear the colors of pitch it all becomes a lot easier.
Nobody's good when they start. I'm not good and I've been randomly trying to learn for 15 years now.
But do this: Learn how to play an A chord, a D chord, and an E chord. If you can do that you can play "Telephone Song."
Once you can play that, then learn G and C, and you'll pretty much be able to play about half the songs we do.
Good Luck!

You should learn how to play a real guitar instead of that video game thing you got. Get decent at it and we'd let you play on stage with us during a song or two. It would be a lot of fun!

Hey guys.You still haven't replied about what I said about you guys being in New York.I'm getting bummed out.I know you just started talking to people,so why not talk to the soon to be future of the Banana Convention?I'm getting confused.
PLEASE WRITE BACK,

Hey Oily.
Haven't heard from you in a while. How about that one time when we did that funny thing and then we laughed about it? That was great. We should tell that story to Pood.
Hey Pood. Ever hear that funny story that happened when we were making that music the one time?
It was awesome. You'd laugh.
I should tell Fletch and Afrodytee about it!
It had me in stitches. Something about cat gut, horse hair and nails on a chalkboard.... oh, and a pirate on a barstool talking to a Mormon,

Maybe y'all should talk to your banana fans on this message board instead of talking to each other? Just a suggestion. It seems like the only people on this message board are you guys bickering back and forth. Pay attention to your fans!! Just a SUGGESTION! I am sure this will be missed and y'all will continue to discuss between yourselves and we will not understand what y'all are discussing because we have no idea what goes on. Let us in, man!! Talk to your fans. How hard is that? Once again, just a suggestion!

Ike Turner has died.
DO NOT ask Fletch to explain to you what an "Ike Turner" is. You do not want to know.

So here is a new Idea. How about we do a movie about Elvis getting pregnant? Think about it! It could be a musical!
Change up some of the big hits to be about pregnancy!
(all shook up)
Mmm
Hm
Yay, yay,
I?m all Knocked up!
Or this one
(Viva Las Vegas)
?Big fat baby fillin? up my guts, gonna take 9 months to cook it!
Odd food cravings like bleach and dirt make me wanna change my diet!
Well there?s so much to do so dive right in
No more livin a life of sin
Gonna find an OBGYN
Jesus, I?m pregnant!?
Or how about this one,
(hound dog)
?You aint nothin? but a mucus plug!
Hey my water broke!
Well, I?m Elvis and I?m pregnant and going into labor now!?
Or this one,
(love me tender)
Pumping breast milk
Looks like glue
Man milk tastes real gross
What do you think?

Hey. I like the new music on your site. When are you going to sing in the Upper Peninsula?
Thanks. MNM

Okay, so I revamped the music section.
It'll make it a little bit easier for us to upload fresh steaming piles of songs to your fragile little ears. Sure it'll be raw and half-baked, but I always liked to eat the raw cookie dough as a kid anyway.
Check out the new tunes (and the old ones) and just be careful about that somenila, alright?

Dude has jumped the Caesar's Palace Fountain into the sky. Let's hope there's a Snake River Canyon and hydraulic rocket ships in the afterlife!

That was prolly the best show I've been to. I'm so glad Fletch did his song. I've been patiently waiting, and it was well worth the wait. And Crush, totally been waiting for that too. So good. I love you guys. Keep rocking, and I'll keep hopping.
