Like Michael Jackson said it's HiStory

2005

• 8/27 Peppercornapalooza: a Benefit for the Village Free School
• 7/23 Iron Artist III, Wonder Ballroom (124 NE Russell, just W of MLK) [Electricky] - The premier timed sculpt-off event of the season. big bucks to the cause that spawned.
• 6/25 Multnomah County Bike Fair. . Portland. apparently awesome
• 5/28, Amnesia Brewing, on Mississippi (across from the ReBuilding Centers north end, you know, where SCRAP used to be) [Acousticky] - after the Portland Innovations Bike Ride.
• 5/27 Monsters of Bike Rock return, Acme, SE 8th and Main: meh! what should have been my last show! why didn't he "Get Out" when he could? I mean he could have lived like a king at bikesummer in LA Who will take the title, "Portland's Worst Drummer"? Who will update the friggin website, i mean, who will update it less frequently?
• 5/14 Alberta Art Hopstarted with bike boys and girls rolling in from all over town: Ben and Izarra tandomizing, revphil and Sara drumming in her green sidecar platform bike, Timo taking a tour of Portland starting in West Gresham and ending with a sofa in an alley north of Alberta on 21st. Strangely, Wes only had a Bob Trailer. You know your band is serious about bikes when the guy with a trailer has the least to carry. Thanks to the SCRAP art space a respectable business that suffered with the TMB very well. Our hot biker engines (Sarah, Sara, and Izarra) hauled the boys all day with great fortitude (both of the legs and ears). We vow to play more shows where folks are only able to hear us for 30 seconds before we roll on. Everyone was loving us, except for the chopper cops, who seem to give give even law enforcement a bad name. Telling people that they are not safe in an empty street... sounds like a threat. Basically, "You are not safe because I am here."

  Both Sara and revphil (old beaten down critical massers) have learned the hard was that some battles are not worth fighting. Still we rocked on down the road (occasionally in sync) and met up with those March Fourth. More importantly we were being paid in Mic-a-lobe Light beer (wow, its actually good!) and gift certificates (totaling nearly $100) to play in the street! And unlike the at Lucky Lab, we might be asked back!!

• 5/11 Clarence of bikeTV from New York says we helped generate a "great response" from viewers who saw the recent episode on Portland's bicycle infrastructure and culture. Featured in this episode was the Bicycle Girlfriend video, also known as the blackest mark on revphil's singing career. Clarence was not specific as to whether the response was "great" meaning positive, or "great" meaning lots of people are complaining. We couldn't be happier.
• 5/10 we practiced at the Pheramones den. without Ben! crazy! but it worked.
• A long time passes. did something happen here?
• 2/13 Worst Day of the Year Ride a fundraiser for the CCC, For 3 years running this historically nasty day of winter was warm and sunny (although it did hail briefly after the ride was over). Finally we got to play a gig with Last Regiment Syncopated Drum Corp, who are still awesome. Alas, our acoustic set was far too powerful for the bewildered servers at the Lucky Lab as revphil's performance of "bicycle girlfriend" caused them to come running out of the kitchen. Also notable, was the drum set consisting of a wood bench kick drum, cookie tin snare glass pitcher symbol, pint hi-hat, along with spatula and serving spoon drum sticks, which caused much wincing and sour looks from the otherwise-entertained audience. Next time Phil will play the bongos, or else.
• 1/20 SCRAP The Regime Nocturnal a benefit show for SCRAP. Finally all the shake your naughty thing bike music is all under one roof: Show Me the Pink, The Pheramones, and the Sprockettes. Come celebrate another four years of resistance with us.
  
• 1/5 on KBOO 90.7 FM Are you listening to your community radio? we rocked The Bike Show with Ayleen and Sara at 9am! Sara was disheartened to learn the true meaning of "Road Pizza"... its not about scavengers, but it is about flat meat. Thanks to the Kboo engineers for getting us on the mic

• 12/10 Midnight Mystery Ride to Scrap. badass. girls in hulahoops. wicked quantities of adult beverages. Someone cleaned up. Thanks.

• 10/6 BikeSocial at Urban GrindCoffee 2214 NE Oregon (2 blocks North of Sandy Blvd)
• 9/25 @ Iron Artist 2004 a FUNdraiser for SCRAP with March Fourth, TheDivided, DJ Safi and the Sprockettes! We were forced to make art rapidly cause we had matching outfits. We won the best use of theme award: flight, and helped make 5 grand for the brave little nonprofit that could. I always wanted to play the Disjecta.
