the misdemeanor charge of interference with a public
servant has been dropped completely by the city of houston against
tyson. the charges against greg who shot the
videos have been dropped as well. it dragged on with five non-trial
court appearances and then someone decided to actually look at
the video. oh yes, that video which showed a very large, maniacal
officer tackling the band on stage in front of everyone for an
alleged noise complaint. obviously there are worse injustices
in the world, but this was really unfortunate. thank you everyone
who spoke up and showed your support. many were people worried
it was going to hurt the houston music scene and make other bands
not want to go there. we can only tell you this...you can count
on the gallants coming back to houston very soon.

many of you you know this, but just in case....the Throes
has been released on vinyl through Alive Records. it was re-mixed

but is really a version of Mothers Blues. There is only 500 of
those. The 2nd lot of 500 will really have Anna's Sweater. this
was not intentional and was a mistake. but hopefully you enjoy
it anyway. the re-mix will also come out on cd sometime next year.

ok an update. two gallants came back from tour with damien
jurado, headlined the great american music hall in may. that was
nice. the band was told not to use more than one video tape and
they used two. needless to say one was confiscated. we need to
sneak back in and get it if anyone has ideas. the band is taking
a little break from the road. it's been since the end of october
last year since there has been a break longer than 2 weeks. this
summer will have scattered bay area shows, a possible small sf
show coming up, the bands first appearance at high sierra music
festival, a benefit for greenpeace in berkeley, a 1 year old fans
birthday party, a show at the catalyst in santa cruz with devil
makes three, and then the band's first shows in England. two gallants
also play Reading
and Leeds festivals this summer and several London club shows
will be booked around this time. oh it will be lovely.
the latest issue of Believer
Magazine includes a compilation of various bands coverings
songs for various reasons. two gallants were asked to contribute
and so they chose a song called
"Annas Sweater." it's a cover by a defunct sf band called
Blear that a few of you may remember. adam is caught playing the
wurlitzer, you must go find this song.
check
out a review in French from Les
in Rocks web zine. it looks positive, but hard to tell?
there was also a live review from the last LA show at the
Knitting Factory in the NME
from a couple weeks ago.

the sf noisepop
show this friday 2/25 is getting some good love. thanks to the
guardian,mesh magazine,and even the chronicle for the recent articles
and plugs for the show. tickets are moving and your best bet is
to get one in advance at the box office at the
independent. if you go up until 5pm friday there is NO service
charge , you save a couple bucks, and ya are guaranteed in. or
you can go ticketweb
and you won't have to even get up. conspiracy of beards (a leonard
cohen tribute in male choir form), trainwreck riders (sf), and
devil makes three (santa cruz) are all worth it too.

what’s new is that we just crossed the country in six
days, six shows. we met some amazing people in the process. thanks
to tim for having us and forgiving us for being retardy in reno
once again. thanks to bryan at the high life house in the springs.
everyone we met there was kind to us and Fagteam was excellent.
thanks to matthew in south bend for being so hospitable--making
us pasta and salad and sitting us down for a good ole’ hearty
heartland meal. thanks to anna in oberlin for taking us in off
the road and setting up a show that was fresher than fresh though
the fates were so against it. Walken happened to be in town ‘cause
a house in Milwaukee where we were headed to return to got itself
burnt down by a bunch of riotous kids when PCPenis from asheville
played there a few weeks earlier. so we ended up playing in an
empty apartment on what acted like mainstreet oberlin with Walken
and PCPenis that night. it was a show not to be forgotten. Walken
brought the pain, a pain long overdue. they were, as usual, amazing.
after the show we went to a reservoir and went swimming and threw
our underwear in the woods then decided to drive to new york at
5 in the morning. that was a great idea. thanks to nat for setting
up the show in new york and to all the ex-patriot san franciscans
for coming out. sorry if we left our minds in the night prior.
thanks to Built to Spill for having us open up for them and all
the folks for coming out and making us feel like we actually deserved
to be there. we’re traveling home slowly and unless you’re
elsewhere we’ll see you when we get back on the 10th. until
then be sure to keep collecting worthless necessities and remain
constantly afraid of tomorrow. we love you all. 2gs…

we would like to thank all of you who came out to the independent.
we were honoured that so many of you managed to pull yourselves
away from the other temptations of a saturday night for a little
bit of tear stained blood. ah, the tender heart. if only its wings
could go unclipped. we were honestly honoured by your presence.
every one's. even the drunk members of our childhood who made
sure to be their loudest during our quietest songs. if anyone
did not get a poster and is interested you can email us back and
we'll get one to you somehow.

dear people. happy to see you. this is the first official two
gallants news posting written by two gallants. hopefully it will
not be the last. introductions first: my name is adam, i play
the box. and my name is tyson, i play the pans. we are two gallants
born and sheltered in san francisco. we just finished recording
our first album. it should be out in april on ALIVE
RECORDS . we are calling it "the throes". it is
a long tale of gluttony and disgust with the human condition,
all written in primaries. we dedicate the throes to all the loved
ones who fill the spaces in our lives without the capacity to
care for the problems of others when the gift of their attention
offers no rewards in return. forgive us for getting e-crazy on
you. our computer is broken.
we are currently planning a tour in march with one of our favorite
bands, the north country sophists known as HOLY
GHOST REVIVAL. they are from bainbridge island, WA. we all
met about a year ago during our first trip north. they hold their
instruments like impatient rifles in some antebellum daguerreotype.
their songs are filled with really thick words like those that
make us wish we had paid attention back when paying attention
was our only responsibility. they are each extremely talented
musicians and one of the few remaining bands that actually knows
how to put on a performance. we are honoured to share the country
with them. this tour will take us down, across, a quick stop in
juarez to pick up some pharmies, through that ole ravaged south,
up the coast, back across, and home. look out for shows near you.
if any of our cds from the last tour skip please come find us
at a show and pick up another one of our skipping cds. this time
we will give it to you for free. just keep showing up at shows
and eventually you might just get one that works (this is how
we keep them coming back). but if you come claiming that you bought
a scratched one and did not, your hands will be cut off and duct
taped to your forehead so that you may watch your reflection in
the article of your sleigtery.
please disregard all of the above. this what happens when you
give a retard the control of information. (playing president is
swell, huh jr.?) finally the cliff notes (i'm sure legacy remembers
these): prepare yourself to be informed of upcoming shows and
such and be wary of record stores that may carry the throes. be
well people. we love you all.
-2 belated gallantesses.

we're on the road again for about 6 weeks. spread the word
if you know some peeps across the country and keeping checking
back for show
updates. thank you for all of your support so far and coming
out to the elbo room before we left SF. also thanks to mystery
machine for hosting that show and doing a killer job with the
press. we will be making a full length record when we return and
have signed to Alive
Records whose recordings are distributed through Mordam.
it will be produced by a guy named Jeff Saltzman. come of his
credentials include managing Green Day and Offspring, engineering,
mixing, mastering records with Stephen Malkmus & Death Cab
for Cutie, as well as producing recent Bay Area bands Heavenly
States and Low Flying Owls. the record will hopefully get released
around Spring 2004.
