dudes, i'm slackin here...

yea yea, i know, i'm slacking on the blog. Things have been crazy. So much music, and so little time. No, that's crap. so little sleep is more like it. You know what i realized? when you stop trying to be something or write in a certain way, you write a fuck load more. I think that's where things got jacked up before. i was always trying to be 'heavy'. Who gives a shit? Write what you feel, and then you're good. you'll have so much music, you won't know what to do with it all. Anyways, we just lined up something pretty kickass. We are going to do an acoustic set in the Hot Topic at Mall of the Bluffs in Council Bluffs, IA. That will be a first for me, and i'm pretty excited. I'm not sure what to expect, but you know what? Those usually are the best shows. And that's the cool thing about this band. We are actively trying to do things differently. I don't think any of my other bands could pull off an acoustic set at a Hot Topic. We are actively trying to throw people for a loop. I kind of enjoy it. Some say that the definition of 'insanity' is doing the same thing and expecting different results. Well, BOH is doing the ass opposite of what we've ever done in our collective pasts, and its nervous. but a good nervous. That's kind of the point i suppose. Moral of this story, go to the CB Hot Topic on May 1st at 6 pm. you'll find us there...

True Story...


So, i was downtown today on my way to a meeting for work, and an apparently homeless fellow started walking towards me. The conversation that ensued is as follows:

Dirty Old Man: Good Morning.

Me: Morning...

D.O.M.: If you don't mind my asking, what do you do?

Me: For work?

D.O.M.: No, for life.

Me: I write songs.

D.O.M.: Good, had you told me what your job was I was going to take your wallet. Have a good day.

and he kept walking. true story. Moral of the story: sometimes homeless men have more important things to say than your boss.

i really kind of like that picture...

anyways, a little update. We've been working hard on writing and getting things lined up to do the record. Lots of new songs that are badass! So, we are all really excited. I think we are really nailing down the 'BOH' sound. What i'm starting to learn is that the more that I write, the closer i get to that sound and really defining it. Sometimes, there may be a really good song that I love, but just won't work for the band. I've always been the guy that writes and assload of music, and all of it gets used, because, well, i wrote it. But, what i didn't understand is that the project as a whole should have a distinct sound. And i think that has a lot to do with really figuring out the guys you are playing with. I think i'm at a point now where I can write a song or parts for a song, and have it sound like Scott or Josh wrote it. Not that I'm trying to do that, but because i'm getting my finger on the 'BOH' sound. It just took 60 some odd songs to get there i guess.

Getting things ready for merch as well, so hopefully in the semi near future, we'll have merch available. We've also got a couple of shows in Omaha next month, hit up the myspace for the dates.

oh boy...

pretty much what i'd look like if i ditched the facial hair. Anyways, thanks to all the people that braved mother natures bitch ass last Friday. That sucked, but thanks for showing up! That was probably the tightest show we've ever played as a band (go figure). We were all pretty stoked afterwords. Good times. Anyways, we've got a shit ton of new music rolling around right now and we are getting shit put together and will have something formulated here soon. And by something i mean a fucking record. And it will probably blow your pubes off. Well, maybe not. But, it'll be kick ass. I'm really excited. Tons of good music. Anyways, I wanted to post something real quick, cause i've been busy as hell the last few weeks and haven't posted anything. Anyways, in the words of Scott Armstrong ' I'm going to go continue pissing excellence all over everyone...'.
