WE HAVE LIFTOFF. I feel like I’ve just hit the town in a snazzy new pair of slacks or something. Thanks to John of Young Rival (can those guys do EVERYTHING or what?!) for the new awesome design, and for working so hard on it while already working so hard for us by driving our gear across the continent. If there is a nicer band in this world, they would probably have to be some sort of deity rock and roll outfit.
In other cool news, our video for What To Say (directed by Jared Raab) also has a Making Of which you can view right here (The Making Of Born Ruffians – \”What To Say\”), and see how we turned ourselves into green shapes of ourselves. Thanks to Brian Hamelin for the edit!
We’re off to San Francisco today, and if it rivals Los Angeles last night, I will most certainly blow a fun fuse or ten. LA was insane. I’ll have pictures at some point. Keep checking back.
See you tonight!
ruffian mitch
I loved the making of “What to Say”! Super interesting and very very original – Jared should do some more music videos for you guys! (Retard Canard!!!)
Also, next time you guys come back down to Austin, we need to play some soccer!
I love the laughing chain at the end of the “Making of…” too funny
Please always play at the Echo. It complements your music/performance very well.

I’ve broken the crap out of three strings and we’ve only played five shows. Something is wrong with me. Halp.
try not being so awesome during the gigs? or try to unleash just a little bit of your manlyness on the bass? sometimes you have to be gentle with your bass mitch it cant handle so much power.
Jack, your not supposed to stalk me on here, whats wrong with a man crush? I just enjoy the razzmatazz!
dont know what “razzmatazz” is supposed to mean but i like it derek tell me more.

That Making Of was pretty insightful.
One of the highlights of seeing you guys live at the Say It release was meeting Matt Johnson after the show. I got to speak to the Ruffians and the singer from Nirvana The Band after the show. I was pretty happy that night.
Im just doing this to see my color. also thanks for the pick in chicago mitch
i know i’m late but i was just looking at my pictures from that night and i had a flashback to the awesomeness so woooo!
