BUY STUFF

November 2007 - Joe composed music for video artist Larry Lytle whose PEOPLE LIKE US exhibit will be showing at L2kontemporary gallery,
990 N. Hill Street. L.A. 90012. Go see and hear our fellow drool brother!

October 2007 - The Drool Brothers are recording and recording and recording and......recording. Chuck also recorded a song with his kids for halloween called Creature from the Black Lagoon. Tom played bass on it. It's a big hit with friends and family. Did I mention recording? Joe has taken the role of video dude and we may post some scenes on youtube some day - stay tuned!

July 2007- Hana Lee Studios is up and jumping. Chuck is recording a few bands along with the Drool Brothers forthcoming release. Joe is videtaping some of the volatile rehearsals and he may post them on youtube.

January 2007 - In October, Chuck and Tom finished the new and improved Hana Lee Studios. It is a one room studio. The Drools completed a song entitled "Misery Ride" and are working on another album while at the same time, working out the bugs and learning the new gear in the studio.

June 26, 2006 - The track "Boogaloo Hat" off the Thematic Variations in Dance, Volume 1 EP is featured as track of the day on
garageband.com based on music fan reviews. Joe is upgrading his answering machine with Jensen transformers.

April 2006 - On Saturday April 15 @ 11am the Drool Brothers are on WPMD, Tee-M's unsigned music show with Mike Stark with special guest
Bill Ward from Black Sabbath and others doing Beatle tunes. Replays of the show can be heard 3 times daily 7am, 3pm and 11pm (pst) . The show will repeat around 90 times till the next month's show! Also, Chuck & Tom are in the midst of building their studio.

END of 2005 Rant! Where are the Drool Brothers? Will Chuck ever finish remodeling his 1963 guacamole colored home in the coyote infested hills. Will therapy or prescription pills help him through the experience? Will Tom ever stop pursuing the ultimate boogie band paycheck and shun the artistic endeavors of one of the worlds most annoying pop bands? Will Joe continue to walk in circles repeating the words "General Electric?" Is there an offshoot band in the works involving Teenage Japanese Girls? Will the new Hana Lee Studios come to be? Well..... 2005 wasn't a complete waste as the Drools performed on WPMD thanks to Tee-m. It was chaotic, sloppy but fun nevertheless. The new track, Transistor, got a spin on Mark Sovel's INDIE 103.1 show in L.A. The song "Hey Kelly" from Kasio Montigo continues to earn us an occasional IHOP dinner (no dessert) through the emancipating phenomena of digital distribution. Oh yeah, we also received a couple of really, really bad reviews, which validates the fact that we are doing something right! One thing that is certain; there is a mass collection in the db song portfolio that needs to be recorded, and with any luck, performed in 2006. Stay tuned to see how the psychological drama unfolds for us 3 high maintenance rock babies.

March 2005 - The Drool Brothers will be making a rare appearance on tee-m's UNsigned music show, Saturday, MARCH 26th, 12:00noon. So make a bologna and mayonaise sandwich and tune in, streaming live on wpmd. The Drool Brothers will bring new meaning to the term "unplugged."
