Mulletude

Park Ave Fest this Weekend

2011-08-01T11:14:00.003-05:00

Fresh off our triumphant gig at the Isaac Heating & Cooling Employee Picnic, we’ll be servicing our female fan’s air ducts this weekend at Park Ave Fest! The fun starts this Saturday, August 6, at 1 pm with acoustical stylings of Sean Fahy. He’s the lovechild of Richard Marx and Rob Thomas, without the hair. It continues with our favorite guitar & drum duo, Jumbo Shrimp at 2:30 pm. They are Erik’s second favorite thing that involves two dudes. Lastly, it’s Mulletude and Trapper Keeper from 4:30 – 7pm. Not sure who is going on first, we’ll let the two bands fight it out. See you this Saturday.

Das German Haus - Friday, June 24, 2011

2011-06-19T19:20:00.004-05:00

Hot on the heels of our riot inciting performance at (broken) Rib Fest, Mulletude and Trapper Keeper will be gracing the stage with Police Tribute "Driven To Tears" at the German House in the South Wedge on Friday, June 24. It's the evening before the Rochester Real Beer Expo on Gregory Street where you can sample fine craft beers from as far away as Gates! To kick it off, we'll be giving samples of Utica Club and herpes to the crowd. The band got involved in some of the Charlotte Beach riots, check it out!

We've moved over to facebook

Trajedy Strikes Twice

2010-07-12T15:37:00.003-05:00

Back in May, it was premachurly reported that Erik Von Carhart was killed in a boat exploshun. As luck might have it, when they recovered his body, Erik was just passed out from whip-its he had done moment prior to the devastashin. His long road back to recovery hit a bit of a snag last week while he was rehabbing on the canel trail near Pitsford. Theirs no easy way to say it. Erik was R'd by a B. In otherwords rapped by a bear. He was quoted in the D&Ce saying "it was humiliating the way he let his friend watch". Need less to say, our September gig at Bugaboo Creek is cancelled. An onlooker snapped this photo.

Audishuning New Guitarest

2010-05-25T09:57:00.002-05:00

It is with great sorrow that I announce the passing or Mulletude guitarest Erik Von Carhart. Erik was killed last night in a spectacular boat exploshun in the retention pond outside of his trailer court (see picture). We'll be collecting his remains with a pool skimmer later today if anyone would like to join us. Calling hours will be held at the street meat cart outside of the Village Gate between 1:00 and 1:08 p.m. tomorrow. There will be no funeral ceremony since nobody replied to the facebook invite that was mysteriously sent out prior to his deth.

In other news: Mulletude is on the serch for a NEW GUITAREST! If you can shred with the likes of CC Deville, Carlos Cavazo, and Jake E. Lee then show up at Erik's calling hours. Bring food. You must have your own gear and drug connection/lab. Pleese leave your illigitamates at home. No nagging baby mamas either.

RIP Ronnie James Dio

2010-05-17T12:38:00.003-05:00

Since Lars Ulrich weighed in on the passing of Dio, we thought it was appororiate that Mulletude did as well. Dio was the undisputed leader of real metal fans. That's truth that's hard as steel. I would guess that if you added up all the times the band and our fans have seen Dio, Sabbath, or Rainbow it would add up to hundreds. He was that influential and always a great performer. And what he lacked in height, he made up for in flawless vocal performances night after night. Better yet, he's from freakin' Cortland, NY.

Dio is our Jim Morrison, our Kurt Cobain, our John Lennon. Except way better and more talented. The last time I checked, John Lennon never wrote about neon knights, riding a tiger, or standing on a silver mountain.

So here's to you Dio - you were a rainbow in the dark.

Mulletude at German House with The Isotopes Fri May 14th

2010-05-14T13:29:00.000-05:00

$5 pre-sale tickets are available at the Record Archive and the Keg. $7 at the door. Or you can buy them right here and have them waiting at Will Call ($0.50 surcharge per ticket to pay those greedy paypals)

Feel the love

2010-05-12T07:46:00.000-05:00

Here is a glimpse into behind-the-scenes Mulletude planning. Rock shows as awesome as our's require much thought.

Feel the love

Erik: listen, we HAVE to practice early wednesday -- even if you guys have to scoot out of work a little early. I have to work at 830PM - 7AM both tuesday and wednesday nights.
So I wuold say 6PM at the LATEST.
So pull some strings, but get there early.please

Pat: No problem here.
I don’t envy you. It really sucks to be you.
Which has nothing to do with your terrible work schedule, incidentally

******

Pat: I hope Erik has a hemorrhage and dies during a Poison song

Jon: Unlike the Poison song, I WILL Forget You, Erik.

Erik: Ah, look what the cat dragged in...my bandmates. I understand you guys are just looking for nothing but a good time when you talk dirty to me, But you have to realize that you are just showing me that every rose has its thorn -- which is no way to tear down the walls I have built up.

Instead of making me cry tough, why not instead give me something to believe in. I know you guys think it's bad to be good, but you can
still send me some good love from time to time.

Otherwise, *I* will play dirty. I will use your native tongue when i state this so I know you understand: I will blame it on you when I make it a matter of flesh and blood when i throw your worthless bodies off a ravine....ride the wind f8ckers!

With that, I invite you to open up and say ahh....PISS!

******

Joe: Are we still on for Practice tonight?
Pat: I’m in
Jeff: I’m available.
Jon: Yes.
Erik: F you - *I* give the final OK
and I say yes, only if someone is bringing diet cola and everyone punches Jon in the ribcage

******

Joe: Now, why is it when I ask( for the third time)
"So, now that we have a date established.
-Any new songs do you want to try and squeeze in?"
It falls on deaf ears.
BUT WHEN JON WRITES EVERYONE RESPONDS LIKE A CALL IN FOR FREE TICKETS.

Jon: Any new songs you guys want to work on for these gigs?

Pat: Good question, Jon. Wish someone had thought of asking that.

Erik: who cares - they will just be songs i will grow to hate

******

Jon: Pat has replicated our Mulletude DVD so we can sell them on Sunday at the Superbowl Party for Jerremy. I am putting together a quick, cheap black & white cover with the Mulletude logo on it (below). Right now, it’s titled “Live at the German House”. Can anyone come up with a better title?

Erik: Jon's Farewell Show

******

Pat: Teddy geiger’s picture on the front page is pretty funny. What a girl

Jeff: Kinda looks like Erik’s high school yearbook photo.

Erik: *sigh*
it kind of does......

******

Pat: Erik, your job today is to get something on craigs list and then drop dead. We’re counting on you

Erik: may not happen....or will have to wait until tonight -- I am testing all day
all WEEK actually. In fact I have 2 overnight shifts this week....so i am not going to be able to counted on for much of anything....

Joe: You're poop. I hate you.

******

Joe: We need to really review Slide it in or come to a consensus.
There are a lot of breaks we are missing and are adding in the song.
I just finished listening to it about 5 times and we are over complicating it.

Erik: you are overcomplicating our gig
*Erik likes this*

Joe: You over complicate a lawn mower. I hope there is a fuel leak on your boat in the middle of bay.

******

Joe: did you want to try Foolin? I know that one.

Jon: I was just thinking, maybe we should keep Foolin’ in the set too.

Joe: I despise you

******

Erik: You're in love is a favorite as is just got lucky

I'm telling you, beautiful girls would go over well....

Joe: I'd like to see you go over in a well.

******

Pat: (to Handsome B. Wonderful of the Isotopes) We have a lot of stuff to discuss but I wanted to get the very very very important stuff out of the way first.
We’re debuting Whitesnake Slide It In – how do you feel about the Topes and the Dancers coming on stage and grinding all over each other while we play? Song needs copious amounts of humping.

Handsome: Sounds pretty funny. I would only grind on dudes wearing mullet wigs though. Especially blond ones

Jon: You may grind me but only from behind. I have a scorching case of herpes on the ‘ole tallywacker.

May 14th German House

2010-04-05T08:30:00.000-05:00

Yet another triumphant return. Fri May 14th back at German House - this time we'll be joining forces with The Isotopes. Their songs might not have words but they totally make up for it with tasteful humor, ball splitting riffs, hot chicks who put out, and wicked science. Well, 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

More details soon.

Preparation for the gig

2009-10-30T10:47:00.000-05:00

Erik: I am picking up the gym membership today at 4, and I am grabbing the Good Guys Pizza gift card tomorrow. I think Minnow is going to go collect the one from the Wintonaire, unless someone objects to that...

Pat: I object to your existence

What's the German word for holy crap tonight is going to rock your nuts off?

2009-10-30T10:09:00.000-05:00

That's what's in store tonight at German House.

I can't control myself today. I'm drinkin way faster than I normully do in the morning at my day job.

If you don't have tix, don't pretend like you have something better to do until 10:30 (we know you don't) - we're gonna have a big crowd because we're awesome and Jerremy gets more love than Steve Phillips gets from fat girls that look like me.

October 30 at the German House!

2009-10-30T09:45:00.001-05:00

Dear Mullet-mulitia,
It's that time of year again... Our annual Halloween show will take place the night before Halloween. For you math-letes our there, that means Friday, October 30! Why? Simple. We understand that our loyal fans have many, many illegitimate kids from as far away as Wayne and Genesee Counties. This will give you, their court appointed guardians, an opportunity to feed the kids for a week on Halloween candy. So you are free to trick or treat on Saturday and proceed to put yourself into a diabetic coma from too many Malo cups, Nekko wafers and MD 20/20.

We also want you to know that Mulletude cares. Not just about hookers and blow, but also about the loyal fans that support our lifestyles. One of our favorites, Jerremy Lorch, suffered a paralyzing spinal injury in August. Proceeds from the Halloween show will go to support his need for an accessible van so he won't miss the next show. Check out his blog at http://www.jerremyrocks.org/. And remember, if you were injured in an accident, we would do the same for you! So please, buy a ticket, come support a good cause, and get black-out drunk for devil’s sake!

Usually we stick to the casual encounters section, but this time we're in the musicians forum

http://rochester.craigslist.org/muc/1441281749.html

Feel the love

2009-10-09T09:13:00.000-05:00

Jon: Do either of you have a high res version of our logo or the original file that Fish did?

Pat: Did a quick check don’t think I have it, will look some more later

Erik: No pat, He's not talking about the rainbow logo you have used all too often

Jon: Swing by your place at 8:30?

Erik: as long as its from a noose

Erik: Listen, I just wanted to remind everyone, that between the velvet lies, there's a truth that's hard as steel

Let's try and keep that in mind

Pat: Hopefully you’re the opposite of the vision that never dies

Erik: I AM the vision that dies...I am the last thing that most people ever see before being slapped in the face with a 10 pound maul

Sean: Does this mean we are going to practice tonight? If so, I'm in.

Pat: Tonight’s tough for me, moving (again)

Erik: tonight would be tough for me too

Sean: Looks like i'm changing diapers then. "Tanks for nutin'"!!!!

Joe: Good Call. I would rather change diapers than be with Jon

Jon: I would rather change drummers than deal with you. I hear Steven Adler is available.

Pat: you home yet? glad to hear that the surgery went well. jon still smells awful and erik still has no talent

Joe: I just got home yesterday. Just taking it easy. I hope jon slips on the ice for RIT Hockey kickoff.

Sean: I hope that during the show Friday night.....A giant tornado comes through and kills all of you.

Jon: Well the downside is that I would be dead, but the upside is that Erik would be dead. I’m liking this idea. Sacrifices must be made.

I can picture it now; Erik gets sucked up into a vortex and spit out over Darien Lake. His lifeless corpse tangled up in the Superman Ride of Steel framework. Maybe a foot lands in the wave pool. A pair or soiled mesh shorts falls onto the midway… that’s what dreams are made of.

Pat: Please let it be Jon. [link to D&C story of guy getting stabbed on Monroe ave]

Jon: Damn, that’s at the end of my street! I didn’t hear sirens or anything last night. Weird.

That building is sketchy. Always a bunch of losers hanging out on the front steps. Erik, you would fit right in.

Erik: I made an announcement in the musician's community forum…..should be showing up soon

Jon: Your coming out announcement? Good place for it.

Random Craigslist Guy reading announcement: “Okay I was never sure if there really was a GOD until I went to the Mulletude website and saw their video's, now I'm sure there is NO GOD! This has to be the worst band ever! The whole mullet thing I get, it's a joke, but the truth is the band sucks and their hiding behind the gimmic. The singer couldn't hold a note if it was in a cup and the rest of this joke for a band should stay in the basement and play to their 4 friends. A-Pub has indeed falling to the lowest point ever. I know the economy is rough right now but is this the way to go? I think not. I would rather hear a DJ spin the tunes, than to watch some moronish band pretend to be something their not. If I had a mullet and thank god I don't and never have, I would be pissed if this was all there was to represent my style. Mulletude, please crawl back under the turd you climbed through to reach the sun and forget about being onstage. A-Pub you should really think about what you're a doing to the business, find another way to entertain the soon to be gone crowd.”

Pat: I kinda want to do a missed connections post playing a joke on erik

“I saw you at high fidelity playing guitar, you looked like a gorilla with a jonas brother’s haircut. I’m into that stuff, I’m like that lady from Connecticut. I want to j*** on your t*** and punch you in the face.”

East End Fest - June 5, 2009

2009-05-26T09:41:00.003-05:00

As an appropraite warm up to those less talented and less entertaining musishuns playing the Jazz Festivul the following week; Mulletude will be rawking the East End Fest in front of the Channal 10 building on East Ave. on Friday June 5th from 8 to 11 pm. (yes, we will actually begin on time at 8pm).

You remember the East End Fest...when you were 23, you met your first wife and her 3 kids there. It happened right before you peed your pants outside of Salingers and right after some guys from Greece with the same haircuts yelled a lot of threatening stuff at you while walking away. Ahhh, memory's.

You are going to want to get there early before it gets crowded. Candid is on before us at 6:45. Other stages will feeture 50/50, Unkle Plum, and our friends in the Isotopes. There will be lots of beer, lots of sweat, tons of portojohns, and loud music. Everything that makes life sweet. If you don't think that is sweet, perhaps you'd like to go see Michael MacDonald the following week. I here Clay Aiken has extra tickets.

A little refresher from last year:

We've got a stimulus for you...

2009-03-31T20:35:00.004-05:00

3 more days until our show with Papercut Ninjas and Hooligans' Island at A Pub Live, Friday, April 3, 9:00-2:00. New songs, $2 bud draftts.

We'll be playing outside of Easy on East (formerly High Fidelity) at the East End Fest, Friday, June 5th. That's rad.

Mulletude De-Flowering Show on April 3

2009-03-17T13:31:00.003-05:00

We're back!

We no you've gotten cozy sitting around your section 8 apartment and/or trailer home with no purpose, no agenda, no reeson to keep on livin. That's all about to change! Friday, April 3 at A-Pub Live. The fun begins at 9 pm with our friends in Hooligan's Island and Papercut Ninjas. Mulletude rocks your pants off after that.

A-Pub Live is located on Lawrence Street behind Daisy Dukes and across from The Pig. In other words, it's near the corner of East & Alexander. You can park in the East End garage for free and walk or in one of the pay lots near bye the bar. If you are smarte, you will get there at 8:30 and find a free on-street spot and pound beers with the band before we go on. Just a sugjestion.

We'll have plenty of new songs plus all the old clasicks. Be ready to rock... children of the night!

Don't be a wuss tonight

2009-01-16T09:28:00.001-05:00

Two options for tonight

A) Sit at home wrapped up in a slanket watching America's Funniest Mobile Home Videos on ABC Family while pondering what kind of pathetic loser you have to be to miss the rock show of the year because the wind is cold.

B) Suck it up, put on a hat, get to High Fidelity early to avoid lines and drink more, buy a Mulletude T shirt or three for added warmth, and rock your ass off for our last High Fidelity show

We're going to get the show started as early as possible to squeeze in as many triumphant anthems and jean creaming power ballads as possible.

Gig Fri Jan 16 at High Fidelity

2008-12-30T09:47:00.000-05:00

This one is going to be a ridiculous blowout - it's our last High Fidelity gig. (not our last gig, mind you, we'll still rock). High Fidelity is changing formats and we want to make the last show there completely kickass, they've been really good to all of us.

T shirts now available. 15 bucks. That's less than you spent on a lap dance at the barrel. Email us at mulletuderocks@gmail.com if you want one or just bring lots of extra money to the show. Makes a great gift.

Jeff: Is there any plans for a Mulletude practice this week? I’m traveling next week (the week of the show) and don’t get back till Friday 10/31 morning. I’d like to run over The Trooper if possible.

2008-09-17T14:15:00.000-05:00

listen up turdburglars, if you show up at 8 expecting to rock, your going to have to dough nate to the cause. as long as your gonna spend money to get in, you might as well start at high fidelity at 3. you've spent 10 bucks on worse things than this. remember that spin doctors CD you bought in high school? don't lie.

Go to rochesterfallcrawl.com and find out how get the wristbands early.

Nick will be in the clink until Halloween but have no fear, Sean is going to rock you like a hurricain. Ristbands are $10 (going to charity), get started at 3 and by 8, we'll be sounding great

Where it all began

2008-08-01T07:50:00.001-05:00

Park Ave Fest is the best. To think that just two years ago, we were a bunch of uneducated unemployed long haired freaks happy to play 12 songs for free beer. Look at how far we've come. Now were a bunch of uneducated unemployed long haired freaks happy to play upwards of 30 songs for free beer.

Joe Bleaux rocks our nuts off but we need to Nate St. Ides back for a guest appearance sometime. Mulletude, the Genesee Brewery, EMTs, Mr. V, and Foxy's miss you terribly

Park Ave Fest, Saturday 8/2

2008-07-25T07:46:00.000-05:00

We'll be rocking Prepp's yet again this year. We'll go on at 3, Hooligan's Island and Papercut Ninjas will open starting at noon. The sooner you get there, the better we'll sound because you will be a cross eyed mess.

For those of you unfamiliar with park ave fest, i'll give another sin op sis. Who am I kidding, you all no about it, but i'm going to summer eyes it anyway.

Park Ave Fest is a glorious weekend where thousands of people get so drunk that they make sure to fall asleep face down so as not to choke on their own puke and wake up with mystery injuries. All this is under some phony pre tense of celebrating a crappy crafts festival where smelly developmentally challenged hippie morons try to sell you pomegranite hemp mustard and camp good days and special times boondogles. No one who enjoys park ave fest buys anything except for fried food. If you like the crafts, you will not like us.

what was up with festival guy getting kicked out?

2008-07-14T13:01:00.000-05:00

Let the record show that mulletude had nothing to do with festival guy being escorted out by some ogre. While we prefer our topless fans to not look like Dumbledore, dancing is always welcome

feel Nick's ubiquity

2008-07-14T11:35:00.001-05:00

If you don't know what that means, Nick is everywhere. And by "If", i mean, "Of course".

Wholey crap. What a great knight. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us and thanks to all the people who've been in prison or something who were just finding out how kickass we are for the first time.

Rochesterunderground.com has a ton of pictures from the night and video too - here are some links a few of them

Mulletude making plans for the weekend:

Jon: You guys want to go to the taste of Rochester on Saturday? Lou Gramm is playing at 8:30. It’s free.
Joe: I'm out. Isaac HVAC party.
Jon: Wow. That sounds "urgent".
Pat: Please let everyone know that my isaac air conditioner works great, my apartment is cold as ice.
Erik: Too bad Joe isnt willing to sacrifice his love's party for the show......Though I hear she can get pretty hotblooded when she doesnt get her way. Whatever -- chicks and their headgames
Joe: I wish Erik practiced the songs before a show so it didn't "Feel Like The First Time"

July 11th East End Fest details

2008-06-24T08:58:00.000-05:00

We'll be rocking East Ave in front of High Fidelity, Friday July 11th from 9 to 11. It's going to be sick. If it rains, we're going to set ourselves on fire. We'll be adding some new songs and we'll be featuring a killer guest guitarist, Geoff Dahmer, on a couple tunes.

kickass time last night

2008-06-07T08:43:00.000-05:00

Thanks to everyone who came out and thanks again to high fidelity for putting on a great party - we had a killer time.

Mark down July 11 on your calendar - we'll be playing out front at the next east end fest from 9-11.

4 days til rock

2008-06-02T10:17:00.000-05:00

First East End Fest of the year this friday. The festivitees outside end at 11 at which point we will turn it up to elevin.

For those of you unfamiliar with the east end fest, it's quite an event. Tens of thousands of sweaty drunks converge on tens of functioning portojohns.

The Isotopes are playing on Swan St Stage at 6:00, they're great. and I'm not just saying that as their best and only guest occasional keyboardist

We won't have an opening band this time but you still might want to get there early. We're right in the wheel house of many of the portojohn deuce dropping outskirts newbies that only make it to the big citay here and there.

if anyone has any footage of mike dickinson's wicked stage dive, please email it to us

Thanks for a great knight everyone

2008-05-03T11:10:00.001-05:00

We had a killer time last night, hope you all did as well. I'm not sure how well our manager mike dickinson (see link to the right) is feeling this morning after his glorious stage dive. spending a month in trakshun aint no big thing.

Get ready to do it all over again in a month, June 6

Thanks to everyone over at High Fidelity, you guys all rock

We have to pubicly fire Sting Ray Rodriguez again. We gave him another chance on the whistle and he turned into cindy brady looking at the red light on the quiz show. For shame, sting ray, for shame.

We've added another opening band

2008-05-02T05:51:00.000-05:00

Going on before Papercut Ninjas will be a up and coming band out of Texas, The Oswalds!

HiFi tomorrow - be their!

2008-05-01T10:11:00.003-05:00

On Dos De Mayo, we will celebrate all things Mexican, Metal and Mayonnaise. We will bequeef our metal offerings to our dark overlord masters as a humble sacrifice to the beast. Our gift to you will be triumphant solos, thunderous drums, glass shattering wails, glorious attire, and spastic histrionics. That, and herpes.

Prepare to be rocked abundantly.

Only a few days left

Inside peek at Mulletude's gig preparation

2008-04-24T08:10:00.002-05:00

Below is a transcript of discussions for next week

Jon: Are we going to do Rebel Yell? Completely unsolicited, that was Jerremy’s birthday song request.
Erik: ok, IF we do that then we need a second guitarist - and keys are uber important.......but unlike the trooper, etc, it's easy
Jon: Can Sean do it?
Erik: I think so
Joe: I know so
Pat: Sweet. I’m a big advocate of as much sean as possible. I’m also a big advocate of as little of erik’s life as possible
Erik: things you advocate have a habit of not coming to fruition -- for example, let's take a look at some of the other things you have advocated, like losing your virginity, having friends, keeping some form of hairline, and not being a flower-sniffing toolbag
Pat: I’m torn between wanting you to die in an instant or in a long, drawn out, painful way. Instant death would spare us the misfortune of having to tolerate your idiocy for another second, but it would also take away the joy I would feel knowing that your demise was cruel and agonizing.
Jon: Maybe we can tie him to the spoiler of that little plastic toy rally car he drives and drag him over the 2 million or so pot holes on 490. The screams of pain will make up for the additional idiocy we have to endure as he squeezes a few final moments out of his woefully pathetic life.
Erik: I would love to see the 2 hapless boy wonders, who can barely mow a lawn, figure out how to secure ANYTHING to a car using rope....
Jon: Who said anything about rope, I was going to nail you feet to the spoiler and let your gigantic, mis-shaped head bounce off the road like a bocce ball.
Erik: that requires a hammer -- do you even know what a hammer looks like?
Pat: Guy redoes one kitchen with a half traffic light/half roman bathhouse motif and he thinks he’s bob vila. I hope your confusion over red green and yellow continue at an extremely busy intersection.
Erik: I dont think I am bob villa - I just think jon is a worthless dumbass

After all that, we've found that Rebel Yell is a worthy addition to the set

Playlist of all our heroes

2008-04-23T11:24:00.005-05:00

Here's a bunch of videos of songs played by our heroes that we cover - consider this a homework assignment for those of you who might not know all our songs, it'll make
cinqo de mullet even more fun for you.

Although we'll be learning everything in spanish so maybe you don't want to bother...

cada rosa tiene su espina
el amor le da un mal nombre
vierta un poco de azúcar sobre mí

For those of you who rock and know every song and then some, hopefully this playlist makes it convenient for you to rock out while you work

Mulletude behind the scenes

2008-04-16T08:20:00.002-05:00

People may realize how consumed the members of Mulletude are with rocking and knocking up chicks. People probably don't realize that we're also consumed with hatred for each other. Here are some greatest hits from emails back and forth.

Feel the love

What was Bret Michael's thinking?

2008-04-14T09:40:00.003-05:00

Last night was the Rock of Love II finale. Yet again, he went with the self-respecting flat-chested one (Ambre) over the silicon enhanced train wreck with daddy issues (Daisy). What makes it worse is that Ambre is 37. What's the point of being in a band if you're going to fool around with broads your own age? Picking Ambre over Daisy was dumbre than picking Jess over Heathre. At least Jess was young.

Rumblings of a June show

2008-04-03T09:08:00.005-05:00

We have shows on May 2 and July 11 (May show inside at High Fidelity, July show outside at the High Fidelity East End Fest Stage). There are whispers of a Friday, June 6th show inside at High Fidelity after the first East End Fest of the year wraps up. I was hoping it would be on Friday the 13th, but i was wrong

Dokken "Breaking the Chains" on Youtube

2008-04-02T10:20:00.000-05:00

**this is an old post but the youtube video we posted had been pulled, but here it is again**

Last knight we practiced over at Von Carhart's trailer and Erik found a killer version of Breaking the Chains on Youtube. Check out the fan in the bottom right corner at the 50 second mark. He gets a ten for mulletude agression! That is how you rock people. I hope he comes to our shows this weekend.

Update

2008-04-01T07:32:00.003-05:00

In addition to our Stinko de Mullet (don't go thinking that it's on May 5th, we do it 3 days earlier, can't get furloughs on mondays), we'll also be doing a series of June shows on the Fast Fairy. We've also lined up slots at the Horizontal Boogie Bar, Silver Stadium, Renaissance Square, and Centers. Details to come

Also, we're changing our set to consist solely of Stryper. To hell with the Devil! Jesus rules Satan drools

East End Fest, Friday July 11

2008-02-28T09:32:00.002-05:00

Mark it down - we'll be headlining the main stage next to High Fidelity at the East End Fest on July 11. Not sure exactly when we go on, but the east end fests end at 11 so all you geeks who whine and cry that we play past your bedtime will be able to watch us for a change. This is big news for nerds!

We had another great time playing at High Fidelity. Joe and the gang there treat us so great. What can you say about the crowd... In spite of the weather, you guys came out, rocked and drank like true rock stars.

Thanks for making it so much fun for us.

Opening band: Hooligan's Island

Show starts around 9:30. Get there early, last time there were lines to get into the bar and lines to get backstage. Oh yeah. You know it.

A little snow never hurt nobody

2008-02-01T17:45:00.000-05:00

If you're a Western New Yorker, you can't let a little bit of white stuff deter you from rocking. If you think there's powdery white accumulation outside, then you certainly don't want to end up backstage. OH YEA

It's Mullet Gras, your beads will keep you warm and provide tracktion for your tires if need be. Get ready to rock. You no it.

Stop uploading Guitar Hero videos to youtube. Please!

2008-01-30T15:11:00.001-05:00

Ever since MTV stopped showing videos and started showing shows about how morbidly obese girls with bacne can get "made" into ballerinas, you tube is the way to watch videos by up and coming artists like Keel and Slaughter.

It's getting harder and harder to find the videos I want to watch because of all the dorks uploading their Guitar Hero videos.

When I want to watch Quiet Riot's awsome Metal Health (aka bang yer head), I want to see Kevin Dubrow (RIP), not some video tape of some dope playing a video game. I don't get this Guitar Hero crap. I tried hooking my Les Paul to my Intellivision and it didn't work.

I realize some of you might like pretending to be as cool as us by hitting green and blue buttons, and that's your purrogativ. But don't videotape and don't put it on the interweb. If playing it makes you a dork, then watching someone else play it would make you a level 20 dork.

For example

3 Days to Go

2008-01-29T10:27:00.000-05:00

All hale the gods of rock. In 3 days, the bowels of the earth will rumble from the metal havoc we reek. Prepare to bow down and prostate thyselfs before the thunderous metal fury raining down on theee. For on Febuary first, hundreds of illegitimite future head banger spawn will be conceived in spite of mulletude's complete lack of means and desire to offer any child care what so ever. All who attend will overdose on genny soaked metal mayhem. And crystal meth. Your lives will be empty and unfulfilled from February 2 until the date of our next show but the memory of rock glory will live on almost as long as your tinnitis.

Brilliant Youtube parity

2008-01-27T12:55:00.000-05:00

Some Fin dude takes concert footage and overdubs his own dreadful guitar playing alont with other instruments. It sounds terrible but it sounds and looks like it's really coming out of the instruments played by famous musicians.

Here's Santana shredding

And here's Jake E. Lee with Ozzy. Ozzy's claps kill me.

Separated at Birth?

2008-01-24T14:47:00.000-05:00

Mulletude fan Jeff M pointed out the following uncanney rezemblents

Joe Bleaux from Mulletude

Uncle Jesse from Jesse and the Rippers

Here's a clip of Uncle Jesse alternating between singing and pillow biting, song's called "Forever". As in, this song sucks so much it will haunt your nightmares for ever and as in rebecca romaine dumped him forever because she found him in bed with a guy. The 50 foot tall mutant babies at the 28 second mark scare me more than drug tests.

Rock of Love 2

2008-01-23T09:27:00.000-05:00

The hottest one, Megan, apparently was on Beeauty and the geek and won it. Can you win two reality shows? I don't know.

Brett, if you don't pick her, Mulletude will.

There's also a hermaf..herrmaphruh...hermafroa...um there's a shemale on the show. She has a butchered accent, butchered implants, butchered collajen injunctions, and butchered junk. Don't do it Brett, she'll have you walking funny like somebody in an oz episode!

Bruce Dickinson said it best Brett. Run for the hills, run for your life!

Johnny Skoal stopped drinking long enough to whip up this flier on his Commodore 64. Id tell him not to quit his day job if he had a day job. Its pretty cool thou, would be better with naked chicks on it, but i still dig it.

Practices with Joe Bleaux are going really well aside from me feeling a little inadequate for not knowing the songs as well as he does even though I've played them a thowsand times. Feelings of inadekwasy are nothing new though, I can handle it.

On Feb 1, our opening band will be CNY's own Hooligan's Island. They rock.

Hooligan's Island site

They'll start at 9:30, don't miss em. We'll go on at 11 or so.

New drummer: Joe Bleaux

2008-01-08T22:09:00.000-05:00

After Nate St. Ides left the band, we searched far and wide from Hilton to Herkimer for a replaisment and his name is Joe Bleaux. Had our first practice with him today and he rocked well. We'll be busting out new ones on Febuary 1st, fear not, the well is not yet dry.

This Islanders Fan Will Rock You

2007-12-12T11:02:00.000-05:00

We need to find this guy and put him up for the weekend of our gig Feb 1st. This guy rocks.

Important Mulletude Update

2007-12-11T11:12:00.000-05:00

Mulletude's drummer Nate St. Ides has left the band to devote more time to starring in videos for 2guys1cup.com. We wish him all the best in his disgusting new endeavor.

Have no fear because Mulletude will be having a press conference at The Mirage to introduce our new drummer shortly.

We have the best looking fans ever.

I don't know why they say Papercut Ninjas and Mulletude are the same band though. And what's that nonsense about wigs? I don't know where she got her information.

Thank you Rochester

2007-10-27T11:18:00.000-05:00

Thank you to everyone who came out to the show last night. You guys rocked so much, can't say enough good things about that crowd. Great costumes (nice work ladies, Mulletude liiiike), great energy. We had so much fun.

Feel free to email us at mulletuderocks at gmail dot com if you have any pictures or video from the gig you want to share with everyone. Also, shoot us a note if you'd like to be on our mailing list (most of you are already getting hassled by us before gigs anyway, but still....)

Thanks to sound guy Matt for doing such a great job and thanks to Joe Gizzie and the rest of the High Fidelity gang for putting on such a great party.

Stay tuned for details about future gigs. We have some big things planned for 2008.
