Resolutions: 2013
I resolve to spend way too much money on records, not enough time writing songs, and to cover John Waite’s “(I Ain’t) Missing You” live at least once.

Every once in a while we get to play with bands that sound like we should fit real well together, then I watch a video or two and think, “oh man, am I trying hard enough?” I find I frequently undersell myself, so fuck that business. HMBSMS’s videos are pretty priceless and the music is joyous. It also looks like they put on quite a show. I’m actually very excited about this show and to see what they’re all about (and then to steal all their secrets…mwahahaha).
I’m also excited about what we have going on, but none of it is ready yet, so you’ll see the same show you’ve seen since the cd release, but know there’s an underlying energy connected to all those things we’re just buzzing to bring you.
He’s My Brother She’s My Sister
w/All Young Girls Are Machine Guns
Friday, April 19, 2013
Tickets: $10
He’s My Brother She’s My Sister invite a broad range of colorful words to describe their sound: “flamboyant folk,” “psych-acoustic,” “desert pop,” “estranged and glamorous.” No doubt this is due to their melange of musical styles, both modern and antique; their eccentric attire and sense of expression, both sincere and theatrical; and, their unique instrumentation, which includes a rhythm section bolstered by a tap dancing drummer.
Brother and sister Robert and Rachel Kolar split vocal duties, with Robert on guitar and Rachel on tambourine. Their voices range from boisterous to introspective, from breezy to emotive. Lauren Brown adds full-body percussion with her fluid tap dance and simultaneous drumming. Oliver Newell plays stand up bass with joyous flair. Aaron Robinson is on lap slide, verring from nuanced psychedelia to American roots riffs.
Slowdown front room
9pm
This is the 4th song from Witness Tree’s upcoming album “Breathe In”, to be released on 05/31/13. This song features additional vocals by Rebecca Lowry (All Young Girls Are Machine Guns).
I had an obscene amount of fun recording this with the guys. Obscene. After my first run-through, all I could say was, “I wish I were in a rock band.”
Last second show tomorrow, y’all. Rumor has it a certain Hood Cat will be there.
I’m so sorry.
Tiger - All Young Girls Are Machine Guns
It recently dawned on me that the only copy of Tiger I have online is the original before I handed it over to Will and said, “fix it.” So, here’s a solo version of the finalized product, likely the way you’d hear it at an open mic.
Please remember, as always, if you are moved to do so or happen to create a baby upon listening to this, Rebecca is a great name for a child.
Mixed Laughs: Ladies Night ⇢
If you’ve never seen an all female comedy show before, which I bet you haven’t, then don’t miss this show tomorrow night.
It features the funniest female comediennes in Nebraska, in all forms from stand-up and sketch, to improv and musical acts. You’ll see the Funnybone’s Heather Jones, All Young Girls are Machine Guns’ Rebecca Lowry, a number of awesome stand-ups from Omaha and Lincoln, killer all-female improv teams, and all this hosted by the Badland Girls!
Oh hey, remember that one time…
Or rather those four times?
Thanks.
1. Shooter is my boyfriend.
2. Shooter is a bar cat.
3. Shooter is a better cat than you or I will ever be as a human being.
So, this is a bit of a last minute push to get folks out tonight, but hey, Shooter can work miracles.
This Band Sucks: Collecting my gold watch, retiring myself to death ⇢
I recently received an e-mail that bothered me. I won’t name names, but let’s just say it came from a certain writer for a certain Nebraska Music website who wrote a certain 2013 prediction list. I was a little annoyed because, in his e-mail, this mysterious writer took credit for bringing me…
So, apparently we’re recognizable as feminist, female faces, but we are also a step above angry punk nonsense. This is how I choose to be remembered.
Sappy Holidays, Cats and Kittens, from your friends in All Young Girls Are Machine Guns!!!

Ehrmagerd. I mean, there are so many more faces than this that I can’t wait to see again, BUT I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THESE FACES AGAIN.
Don’t get me wrong, I love performing music with my band. I just, y’know, have a hard time not seeing all the kids’ faces all the time. No more month long stretches of shows all on Friday nights. At least, not until next December.
Tonight - All Young Girls Are Machine Guns
I (Becks) recorded all the instruments on this track, which, I suppose merely means I can play the sleigh bells a’ight.
You can find out more about the Christmas Toy Drive for Pine Ridge HERE.
Sometimes I don’t know what to think. Just when I feel most like the chips are down, The Reader puts me in this article alongside bands like Desaperacidos and Tilly and The Wall and The Mynabirds…good god almighty. If I didn’t question my ability to do anything other than making music, I’d juggle chainsaws right now because I’m actually one pretty lucky bastard.
