crazy game of poker

Hi! Were a punk rock band from Gaithersburg. We FINALLY HAVE songs, but for the last year weve been preaching about practices and recording shit, but we have continuously let you down. Im sorry. You see this band started out on a real limb, Andrew had gotten me into this whole punk rock thing and he said we should form a band. We both decided to play guitar but none of us knew how and didnt really have one of our own. We didnt let that stop us, so we said we need a bassist, and one day at lunch (8th grade 2004/2005) i went up to Matt and said you wanna be in me and Andrews band? He said sure, and i said okay cool, but your playin bass. Andrews sister left that summer to go to NC and left him her electric guitar, room, tv, and all this other shit. And by the end of the summer i too had gotten a guitar (but it wasnt a good one). David and Robby had quit the band briefly in september of 2005, mainly cause of Robbies personal grudge with andrew and since david and robby were inseperaple because ROBBY went to poolsville and not Gaithersburg, it was the call for some hard times, but thats beside the point. But David apologized to Andrew at a Hank Wangford concert and reunited. During Christmas of 9th grade Matt got a bass, and stared taking lessons. We started getting this whole band idea into our heads (well at least me) and thought by no time we would have songs. Well its a year and a half later and we still have nothing recorded. Andrew wasnt bad at guitar, but the lessons definatly helped. Robby was drummer, but he didnt know a thing about drums, and i tried getting him into cool music, but he was a big drip about. At the begining of 10th grade i kicked him out, because he wasnt getting a drum set anytime soon and im not sure if he really wanted to be in the band in the 1st place. he was bringing us down, and we wouldnt have gotten that far, i mean we would have still had to wait another year for him to learn how to play drums and he wasnt so enthusiastic about it anyways, so in the end everybody won! By this time i was already taking lessons for 2 months, and playing guitar was A LOT easier. This is when we started preaching about recording and shit but we definatly werent ready. we still totally sucked and need a drummer. Then we got Kayla, but we never got around to a band practice and she was a senoir and graduated. Its 2007 and were in 11th grade. We finally came along a drummer whose name was Daniel Cannistra!!! I had an awesome idea to ask him to be NLF's drummer, he accepted this task/quest and they went on to make good/ok music. Since 10/20/07 (October 20th of 2007) NLF has had several interesting band practices. Most of them consisting of playing Halo and now Rock Band, but they made some descent songs. 20s Romantic and My Penis being the 1st 2. Although those 2 songs dont really depict there style. Anyways it was like our 3rd band practice, and we decided to do a concert with Daniels other 2 of his 15 bands Five Heads Are Better Than Two and Rice Crackers. The show was supposed to be January 19th but it got pushed closer and then pushed back a tad, so it went from being 1/19/08 to 11/23/07 to finally 12/14/07! it was a wierd concert i mean a couple of more pratices could have helped and Andrew's "solo" project kinda took away from their show, but thats not stopping these young lads from making some punk rock for the masses. oh and then we played at GHS's International Night, which we had to switch Andrew to bass for, and Eileen did guess vocals for. My guitar didnt exactly work (it wasnt plugged in) which made for a somewhat disasterous show, i mean i think people understand that it wasnt working so were good, but ive heard many numerous things of how we killed and murdered that Moldy Peaches song "Anyone Else But You" but fuck it. so the next time you see these guys preform they'll have some better talent, actually work together on songs, and still make people laugh with there catchy punk rock songs, instead of having people leave to go talk shit about them outside of the show....but at least we had fun doing it!!! and David guarantees that next there show will make them better than Rice Crackers (he only hopes so) and then we'll tackle Siafu (since no offense but theyve kicked like every original member out so i mean its like what the hell!!!) Andrew also says we might try an unplugged show as well but thats still being deliberated. We are opposed to Racist, homophobs, and people that are just flat out jerks! FUCK YOU!!! So right now were just lookin' for some shows, and if you hear of any just message or comment us! :) -Daniel Frederick Jubert
