-08.29.07 -- doxie update #58
hello
the doxies are going to be playing some shows soon that you should check out. coming up labor day weekend we'll have two shows. the first on friday night will be in columbia at mojos with Caulfield and the Magic and Pale Family. Both are local groups that can really heat up a stage. on saturday night we'll be heading to the river for our fourth consecutive appearance at the euphio campout south of salem, mo at camp zoe. this year the festival is lumped together with schwagstock 4000 so it should be an interesting experience to say the least.
we will be in st. louis in september at the play: stl festival, a three day event of concerts and conferences designed to promote midwest talent. we'll be at the halo bar late friday nite september 21. our co-opt records label mates sweetwater abilene and bockman will also be at the fest.
in general happenings, our drummer john gilbreth got a gig on tour with the wu tang clan for the last month so we've been rehearsing with Duece Carlos on the skins. we're getting pretty damn good at learning to play with new drummers on short notice. most of the credit has got to be given to the drummers though, we already know the songs. we are ready to get into the studio real soon. we have an album's worth of material, but we're not sure that it's done yet, or even started for that matter, so no dates yet. we do know that we'll be recording with wil reeves at his new home studio we helped build last spring. i think he's calling it the red rocket due to its towering height and color, but don't quote me on that. wil plays solo material under the name penny marvel and also bass with bockman, whose last album he recorded and mixed. check em out at http://www.co-optrecords.com

sincerely,
bryan

We have some new pics posted of our recording session for "In Search of...". You may notice that Bryan the bass player is suspiciously missing from the photos. Don't read anything into it, he's just the only one who knows how to work a camera. Check em out.

- 01.20.05 -- New Shows, New Sounds by: Tim Doxie
So, Here’s a run down of what’s up in Doxieland. We're so worked up about returning to the stage in our native Columbia that we have locked ourselves in an oxygen warehouse to rehearse and just now realized that we haven’t updated the site in a while. Don't be mad, we'll make it up to you on February 4th when we take the stage at Mojos with fellow Columbians The Confident Years and new comers Abileen. This one will really be a humdinger, Wes is back in the fold and we've never sounded so good. As for the new album, the mixing sessions are nearing completion and the tracks will be off to the mastering plant soon. Speaking of Doxie sounds, our album is now available at many fine MP3 sites including itunes.
OK, back to the O2 plant.

- 01.13.05 -- Submitted For Your Electronical Pleasure by: Tim Tim Chiroo and The Brig
Hello vast internet land, and post seasons greetings. The Doxies will be turning over a new leaf in '05 and focusing on bringing the rock. Last year had its ups and downs, but we've dragged ourselves out of the gutter and are rehearsing feverishly. We're happy to announce that Young Wesley, the keyboard virtuoso, is once again and forever more a part of the doxie machine.
In case you're wondering, we are starting with the final mixing process of our new as yet to be titled album. Hopefully the whole thing will be off to the mastering plant by the start of February and we’ll be on the road again that same month.
The first show of the new year will be at our old stompin’ grounds Mojos here in Columbia on February 4th with another group of natives The Confident Years.
Also, Tinderbox Tragedy has been digitized and made ready for download at the following sites so fill up those ipods with the doxies:

Huggie Huggie,
Team Doxy

- 09.12.04 -- Greetings Exulted Ones! by: Bryan
Welcome to doxieland, where all the fountains spout chocolate and the trees bare gumdrops!
We have finally begun the mixing of the new album, tentatively titled "50/50 Miami". It is our best studio work to date. Expect it to be released late this year or early 2005.
We are trying some new things as far as the live show goes, playing as a four piece sans keyboards has allowed us to get back to our roots with some slammin rock-n-roll that is making ears bleed. We're perfecting our new gig here locally with some free shows coming up in October, and will bring les doxies v2.3 to ya'lls who live elsewhere soon, promise! I'll try to get the rest of the guys to chime in on the site soon, so you can get their perspectives on life and love. later.

- 07.10.04 -- Greetings from Radio Penny land by: Tim Doxy
In case you were wondering we are alive, but have gotten fat while recording our new record. Personally, I've ballooned to 235 pounds. That being stated, we've all started crash diets before appearing at the out door Eupio-Campout early next month. For example, Bryan is eating only beer. Fact is, after a while your body actually starts to matabolize the calories in beer and it works as like a liquid diet.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you, Wes wrecked his motor scooter. He got drunk, actually .28 blood alcohol content on the books, and knocked him self out when his head collided with the concrete. Luckily, he was found by our friend Israel, of Martyr's Brigade fame, unconscious in the middle of the street with urine covering his pants. Not uncommon, but this time he was bleeding. There's a happy ending, he spoke in tounges at the hospital for a while but walked away with only a healthy hematoma.

As far as the new tunes go, get ready folks for a true sonic experience. The steady hands of Jason at Penny Studio in St. Louis are guiding us well.

We love you all and miss the smell of you hair,
Tim Doxy

- 04.19.04 -- Stu-Stu-Studio-oh by: Bryan

- 03.01.04 -- New Doxy Album set for production! by: bryan
Hello friends. After countless hours of meditation and debate in the council lodge, the doxy elders have decreed that we are to return to the studio for spring. We plan on working at Radio Penny Studio in STL for april. We are gonna take some time off the road to work on new material and record, so don't expect us to visit too much this summer. We will play some selected dates around the midwest to try out new material, so keep your eye on the "tour" page to see if your city will get some. Our faithful steed Gray Willy does have some adventures planned, however. He has informed the band that he will be touring with or without us, so stay tuned for weekly updates of our old gray van's world travels in the "journal". Also, I have added the Doxy Bull t-shirts to "The Doxy Store" section as promised, and some new "pics" from our shows in Columbia and Wichita. Until next time...

- 01.29.04 -- critical juncture by: biggity b (that's bass, dog)
hello endearing fans. We are at the point that we are running out of Tinderbox Tragedy and are thinking about repressing. However, usually when we release a new album demand for the previous slackens. So we have a couple of options... 1. Re-release TBT with bonus accoustic tracks and some reissues off of Tractor Crash. or.... 2. Go into the studio and make a whole new album. They will both eventually happen, but one will happen first. Stay tuned to find out which...we are at a critical juncture.

- 01.20.04 -- Good Shows, Good Press by: bryan
Hey, thanks to everyone who came out to our shows last week and all the great bands who shared the stage with us. We had a wonderful trip and are looking forward to hitting the road full time. We also had great reviews in the KC Star, Lincoln Star-Tribune and the Omaha Reader, no doubt this helped expose more people to the doxies, and we love to expose ourselves. We also recorded all the shows this weekend so stay tuned to the audio section for some live mp3s. Make sure to check out the tour page for upcoming dates, and check out the shows this week in Chicago, STL and Columbia. Later-B

Thanks to everyone who came out for the free show at the Blue Note on Saturday nite. What a great time, Split Lip Rayfield really tore up the stage, I think. I don't remember much past the doxy set. We are currently in the middle of filming a video for "Callin' the Kettle" off of Tinderbox Tragedy. You may have noticed someone filming at the show on Sat. It will be up on the site as soon as it's finished. We also will have some new T-shirts for sale on the merch page in as little as 20 days! WOW!

- 11.05.03 -- The Men Vs The Robots by: tim
We’ve got some great shows coming up in the next few weeks. It all starts in Springfield Mo on November 15th with the first round of the battle royal we deem (big announcer voice ala monster truck rally) “THE MEN VS. THE MACHINES.” Yes, that’s right folks, We’re taking on post modern tech-o-philes (they're so weird I invented a word) Billy Schuh and....the foundry at the elegant Outland Ballroom in Springfield Mo. If your in the area, you don’t want to miss what will surely go down as a defining moment in the battle to keep rock out of the hands of those meddling machines. “That’s enough, we can’t take anymore,” you say, then we say, “oh, we have much much more!” We’ll be rocking the CoMo free style (NO $$$) with the gas tank twanging boys from Wichita, Split Lip Rayfield at the famously infamous Blue Note on December 6! So sleep easy children, and read the new journal Bryan wrote as a bed time story.

- 10.08.03 -- Camptown ladies: won't you come out tonight? by: B. Madness

- 09.17.03 -- Until The Van Breaks by: Tim

Kansas City's 90.9 KTBG just added "Carry Me Home" to their full time playlist so contact them through their station web site http://ktbg.fm/index-new.html and let em’ know what ya' think. In related news, if your looking to go to the show at Mojos in Columbia this Saturday then tune into 102.3 BXR Friday afternoon and win a pair of free tickets.

- 09.10.03 -- Shows And Such by: Tim
Hey All. We've finally emerged from the deep Missouri woods with a new focus and some unexplainable rash (I wont go into it). We're still newbies at this whole web thing, but the powers that be are hard at work and we should have the Doxie Death Star fully operational in no time. Untill then, check out www.emergencyubrella.com for an updated list of shows . While your there you should dig on all our friends bands and drop them an email if you like. See you soon, Love Team Doxie.

- 07.21.03 -- A note to the masses... by: B. Madness
A big thank you to all the folks who came out to our show at Mojo's on the 19th. We had a blast, it was really great to play in Columbia again.

We are played on the alt-country channel, believe it or not. So tune in and hear some midwest rock straight from outerspace.

- 06.25.03 -- no news is food news by: bryan
Well we've wrapped up the spring touring schedule with the emergency umbrella float trip last weekend. Boy o' boy was it exciting. Summer is here and the lack of a/c in the Grey Ghost makes touring fragrant so we're engaging in other efforts. In the works is some new material for a recording session to be launched soon. The new song "climbing oak trees" which you may have heard on the spring jaunt will be among the stuff that gets on tape. We will be playing a couple scattered shows this summer and are booking an extensive tour in the fall. In the meantime check out http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thedoxies/ if you want to chat with doxies and other freinds. Here's tabs on everybody if you're interested: Brent is in NY helping people to help free Tibet, Bryan is growing a wild and vibrant organic garden, Tim has been promoted to manager at the fish packing plant, Kevin lost his glasses again when he passed out in a parking lot, and Wes couldn't stop bitching long enough about his newest ex-girlfreind turned lesbian for me to acertain what he's up to in his non-doxy life. Until next time...

There will be outdoor concerts on both Friday and Saturday evenings featuring Emergency Umbrella bands as well as a float trip on Saturday and a skeet shooting competition slated to begin at dawn on Sunday morning. Camping is available and the site provides access to a “swimming hole” and Billy, this time you’d better keep your britches on! More info coming soon, but in the meantime, mark your calendars.
