We're playing Friday, July 3rd at the fabulous Make-Out Room
with Boneless Children Foundation!

Put it in your smart device: this show is from 7:30 to 9:30pm, which will allow parents to get to bed - and Parents to get to drinking - on time. The doorman will want a $7 bribe to let you in.

In other news, "We Took the BART" took a spin around the net-o-sphere after a random dude made a video for it. The local CBS questioned our rhythmic but non-native wording, and the BART blog - yes, BART found us! - wrote it up all nice-like with some choice Parental input. From there it went on to a couple of transit-focused blogs, like The Overhead Wire. As always, you can download your very own mp3 copy of public transit rock history about an inch and a half below these words.

Here is The Parents' Very First EP!

  1. We Took the BART!
  2. Make It True or Crush
  3. How to Speak Italian Like an English Tourist
  4. Circles
Here's what's coming up:
  1. eat square breakfast.
  2. put new EP on website.
  3. take nap.
  4. book shows.
  5. write new songs.
  6. PRACTICE!
  7. go camping.
The Parents are Emily, Sara, Sean, and Chris.

We're a four-piece indie pop/rock band of Chicago-expats who used to play in the same music scene from 2000-2007. We promote our shows, set up quickly, and only rarely leave equipment behind.

We've got a (particularly fun and crowded) Tuesday at El Rio, a Sunday BBQ at The Stork Club, a Saturday benefit at The Starry Plough for the Children's Hospital of Oakland Patient Care Fund, and a Halloween show at the Stork Club (as the Mamas and the Papas), and an awesome Friday playing with the Old-Fashioned Way at The Hemlock Tavern under our belt.

Emily (ex-Passerines) plays guitar/bass.

Sara (ex-Go Away Please Stay, Passerines, Starlister, Health&Beauty) plays keyboard/melodica.

Sean (ex-First Coat, the 68s, the Paraleisural Uninsurance Temp Agency, Fulton Pyser) plays bass/guitar.

Chris (ex-Cola Wars, Millimeters Mercury, Zinc Finger & the Major Groove) plays drums.
Of course we have a myspace profile!
(it's still listed under our old band name, though)
