On Sunday morning, April 15th we (STNNNG) got into an accident on an icy interstate 52 coming home from a show we played in Rochester, MN.
The van rolled into the median but luckily didn't roll into oncoming traffic.
The van was totaled. We only had liability on the van and now we owe a lot of money.
Luckily we have great friends who are willing to play and help us pay down some of our debt.
So come enjoy a great line-up of bands and help relieve some of our financial woes! The sound at Hell's Kitchen is awesome and I've some pretty good times being there for shows lately.

|
|
Ha, thanks.
I haven't done this in awhile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I keep trying to post the photo. No worky.
|
|
|
i see 3 pics of totaled van
|
|
|
I can see it!
|
|
|
I think it might take three more pictures to really get the point across. SO TOTALED.
|
|
|
It must be my computer. All I see is a white dot.
But anyway, yeah, LOOK AT THAT FUCKING VAN! DO YOU SEE?
|
|
|
Hahahahahahaha
"The windshield, crushed, blood on dash, Bwampie's dislocated shoulder.....DO YOU SEE???"
|
|
|
how can i reach these keeeeeeeeds?
|
|
|
oh man that looks rough. Glad you guys are alright.
|
|
|
If you posted a picture of the van it might get more people enthused.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
really glad no one got Cliff Boone'd!
|
|
|
too soon
|
|
|
:I
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should find a way to set up the van on stage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Ha, mind-meld! I was just abt to post that
|
|
|
Hahahahahahahaha
I allllllllways, I allllllllllways, I allllways LOVE THAT ONE.
|
|
|
It's good that we can laugh, and not cry at this, eh?
|
|
|
I'll meet you in the middle and just have another round of post-traumatic stress shakes. Classical has a great manic laugh for moments like this.
|
|
|
hahahah i saw that pic and instantly "gah! PTSD" flashed in my mind
|
|
|
^Plz tell me that's a shirt that you will be selling.
|
|
|
That's the plan
|
|
|
CNNNNG Stunts
|
|
|
Oh man, you should totally have the Snake Pit stage set up like Metallica did for Cunning Stunts! Rather than the stage fall apart have a van hit it and explode. And, just like 'Tallica have a guy set himself on fire and run around.
|
|
|
Hahaha well done, CoF.
|
|
|
We will also be giving away one of the benches from the now defunct van.
|
|
|
OH I FORGOT ABOUT THE BENCH GIVEAWAY!
"The only thing left from the van."
|
|
|
we could really use that bench seat for the voytek van! we have no bench seats!
|
|
|
you can have it!
|
|
|
ohhh sweet
can we hold a special ceremony at the show where you pass it off to us?
|

Sounds like we will have t-shirts for this
|
|
|
Let's See!
|
|
|
|
|
|
~30 shirts will be available! Cats in photo will NOT be for sale :)
|
|
|
30 minus however many i buy, so many colors!
|
|
|
"I'm wearing 10 STNNNG shirts at once!" -neight
|
|
|
extra padding in case i end up half upside down again
at which point the van on the shirt would be half right side up again
TAI
|
|
|
Oh man that TOOK ME DOWN THE FUCKING WORMHOLE, NEIGHT
Extra T shirts as airbags and the right side up van? MAKE IT STOP
|
|
|
Posters for this thing are getting printed tomorrow...late as usual, but they'll be up before the weekend, so that's good.
|
|
|
Stoked to see these posters!
|
|
|
I'm stoked to see those shirts!
|
|
|
I have to work! Someone save me a Tshirt! I'm a sucker for upsidedown things.
|
|

|
|

I think CoF meant to type CNNNG Sunts.
|
|
|
I thought you guys were getting endorsed by KFAN and getting a bunch of "IALTO", "OH BOY, and "YEAH BABY" shirts? What happened?

Printing these things today. Three screens. Lots of tiny little lines. They'll be available for purchase at the show for American dollars if people want them. Dollars will be split between the STNNNG Is Destined To Have The Best Of Rides Fund and the Landland Keeps Its Lights On For Another Month Fund.
|
|
|
Holy FUCK MilkDRAGO! That's awesome, thank you so much!
|
|
|
Another one knocked our of the park. Gorgeous poster.
|
|
|
wow. love it, Milkdragon!
|
|
|
Holy moly, thats top shelf work!
How much will the posters be?
|
|
|
awesome!
|
|
|
that is incredible!
|
|
|
Thanks! I don't know how much they'll be...probably sorta cheap at the show, and then a little more than sorta cheap after the show. I actually built like 40 small paper vans and stacked them up for reference.
|
|
|
that is one of the best posters i've ever seen.
|
|
|
Seriously, gorgeous work. Once again. And I liked that you built miniatures for reference. Oooh, you should do papercraft with my kid! He LOVES that stuff.
|
|
|
Wow, that is awesome! Nice work!
|

|

You're so van. You probably think this song is about you. You're so van.
|
|
|
unbelievably awesome poster
|
|
|
Good grief, Milkdragon, that is absolutely fantastic!
|
|
|
I saw a photo of all the little paper vans. You are too good!
|
|
|
That is a beautiful poster. What kind of pen do you use to make your tiny little lines?
|
|
|
who's pen is you calling tiny
|
|
|
Milkdragon, that poster will be going up in my office and my bedroom. This may be my favorite STNNNG poster and I haven't even seen it yet.

Hahahahahaha YES.
|
|
|
Holy Shit dude! That poster is so fucking cool! This will be going up in my office as well. Definitely the best STNNNG poster I've ever seen. SOOOO GOOD Milkdragon.
|
|
|
Milkdragon never disappoints!
|
|
|
dang guys, thanks.
vert, i used a rapidograph on this...it looks like this:
IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW
I pretty much just use those and/or mechanical pencils. The original drawing for it is 8x10, then blown way up. If I get time before the show, there's a second version of this that I kinda want to print, but I probably won't have time so I should just shut up.
|
|
|
The show with these posters and van t shirts happens ON THURSDAY!!!!
|
|
|
tower of posh-itivity!
|
|
|
I love them, but I'm not responsible enough to own a rapidograph. I never had proper training in maintenance and cleaning. The set I had in high school was ruined and leaking within a couple of years. I miss making hundreds of tiny lines with the .25 pen.
|
|
|
milk dragon, that poster is radical, ...late to the game on it.
|
|
|
the .25 is where it's at. i suck at keeping them clean...the best thing seems to be making sure they get used super regularly, and soaking the tip when it gets all gunky (twss).
the .005 microns are also way rad, though they're kinda fragile.
|
|
|
For the record, that TWSS RULED.

Same page! I used a hot wheels van to draw from. Only took ~4 stores to find one. (great work btw)
|
|
|
Oh man HMH, those RULE. Thank you SO MUCH.
|
|
|
I'm so getting to the show early to get pick of the litter! Love love those shirts.
|
|
|
I think this show is going to be a blast!
|
|
|
what time is this show?
|
|
|
normal show times. ten probably.
|
|
|
I think I'm gonna make it out to this. Great lineup!
|

AWESOME!

you only made thirty?
|
|
|
You only have to laundry once a month
|
|
|
I'm not! I'm not supporting any music tonight. I have friends in town. Stupid friendship, preventing me from seeing BANDS.
|
|
|
I'm going to iceage AND this show! But I don't have any friends.
|
|
|
wait i bet i can go to Iceage and THIS
|
|
|
Like me!
|
|
|
You can be friends.
|
|
|
This show is a show for friends.
|
|
|
A Family of Friends!
|
|
|
I'm going to this show. I'm going to start all the shirts on fire and climb that big angel statue during STNNNG's set.
|
|
|
|
|
|
i have no idea who that women is
|
|
|
I really hope I can make this. I'm gonna prolly be a sweaty mess after practice.
|
|
|
I'm gonna lace all my out-of-town friends' drinks with cough syrup so that they fall asleep early and I can come to this show.
|
|
|
Nothing like the Blind Shake while robo-trippin'!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Nice write up Empty (quick edit: My homeboy from Overproof is TOM). I'm only correcting cause I assume you get tons of traffic and I hope it gets Tom tons of work!
MMM: Burn the shirts, and you'll destroy that IRL friendship we've been building as of late...
|
|
|
Thanks Empty! And HMH, Blind Shake, Buildings, HK and Tom/pm!
|
|
|
ah, I totally just edited that HMH. thx!
|
|
|
Also, in case anyone is on the fence about attending this event, I've only gotten about two hours of sleep in the last day or so, so by the time our set rolls around tonight I am going to be a real treat! I'm already rubbing my crotch and singing "Touch Me" at my desk.
|
|
|
i can see that you're not afraid. but i've made no promises, holmes.
|
|
|
Cue: I reenact Val Kilmer's entire performance from the motion picture The Doors
|
|
|
sweet i love that movie!
|
|
|
FYI, I took the liberty of making buttons of the T-shirt image, so everyone who buys a t-shirt tonight will also get a free button!
|
|
|
YOU'RE ALL SLAAAAVES
|
|
|
bump!
|
|
|
classy, I may have to bring back to throwing ice at you to keep you awake. It will be a nice homage to the first couple of shows when I met you and saw STNNNG play.
I am skipping DJing for the most part tonight to go to this and didn't even think twice about it. No excuses allowed in this thread!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Someone needs to bootleg this shirt for me, cuz I don't think I'll be able to make it until midnight :(
|
|
|
I'm going to attend this van bennifer.
|
|
|
Love the new songs, it's like if Oxbow
made a country album
|
|
|
HA! Good to see everyone that came out. All the bands were really good.I now have a new poster and T-shirt and hopefully STNNNG will have a new van soon.
|
|
|
speaking of Oxbow, loved the Classical's shirt. Great set. Start to finish great show.
|
|
|
EXCELLENT TIME. Coach, sorry I didn't find you and say "hi".
|
|
|
great show, lads!
T-Shirt was not an XL as advertised, tho. A medium or large at best.
However, it really accentuates my man-rack, so there's that.
|
|
|
This was such a great night, thanks Blind Shake and Buildings, thanks HMH and Milkdragon, thanks Tom and pm and thanks HK. Coach is Ti Ti and veeery ready to go Ni Ni.
|
|
|
Stink - u didn't hold the shirt up to yourself!? Bums me out it's smaller than advertised, but a manrack looks good on ya, especially in yellow! (good to hang last night too, buddy)
|
|
|
Stinky-I think there are some actual XLs left in the box, we can do a switch.
This was fun! Why am I at work!
|
|
|
|
|
|
I am still really bummed that I missed this. Please play again soon, STNNNG!
|
|
|
The new songs are pretty amazing
|
|
|
No, pee.yay, you're supposed to be all "Well, you didn't miss much, abomb. STNNNG's new rap-metal direction isn't really for everyone. Still got a few kinks to work out, etc."
|
|
|
Our rap-metal direction isn't that new
|
|
|
I guess that's what City Pages meant when they referred to you guys as "The Crazytown of the local music scene." And all this time I had been thinking it was just a reference to your band-wide meth problem!
|
|
|
No worries Jawknee, as info, Em and I stood behind you for like all of Buildings set like TOTAL STALKERS.
|
|
|
This whole show was very good, but I have to say that the Blind Shake were on a whole other level last night. I mean even better than usual, which is saying a lot.
|
|
|
they are on steroids
|
|
|
I liked all the bands a lot and I bought a poster.
I thought the new STNNNG songs sounded like The Blues Brothers covering Oxbow.
|
|
|
It was the harmonica, wasn't it?
|
|
|
You guys really captured the Blues Brothers 'tude, and that really comes through in the sound.
|
|
|
it's the matching blues man hats
|
|
|
coach plays walking pentatonic basslines in every song.
|
|
|
Not to mention the shuffle dancing in unison.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you ever see me wearing black slacks & black shoes with white socks, kill me. Kill me dead.
|
|
|
Thats one puke inducing honk-monica there, coach.
|
|
|
This was fuckin' fun. STNNNG brought it (got there too late to see the others). It was good to see the likes of yous!
|
|
|
What I learned from this:
The Blind Shake run crisp, disciplined routes
STNNNG are slowly morphing into a mid-seventies hairy rawk behemoth. Love the new songs.
pee.yay is still adorable
|
|
|
Is there an online donation set up? I'd add it to the SiaNet Radio website if there is. Didn't see one posted if there was.
|
|
|
Sia, we wrestled with that but ultimately felt better giving people something for their money, so we did the show/posters/tshirts with amazing support from HMH/Milkdragon/Blind Shake/Buildings and Hell's Kitchen. Thanks for offering, I really appreciate it!
|
|
|
I posed sure to hard labor obligations and working late last night, but I would still like to buy a poster and shirt for the cause, let me know what's up
|
|
|
Man, first show I've been to that I wasn't playing in since the peanut was born, and it was awesome! Talked to jawknee, pee.yay., tom, pm, adam, the classical, mr. tears, boosh, hemdo village mayor, felix (happy birthday, man!), tex kjos, and saw plenty of other board peeps. Blew my chance to meet coach, though. I was in the way when he was loading out his amp, but was busy yapping with hemdo. Next time, mang.
The Blind Shake owned. Hadn't seen them in two years, and I'm pissed that it's taken that long. God, that drummer gets crazy sounds out of that caveman-style playing. And STNNNG ruled as usual. Like the new tunes, and you guys are definitely taking a turn towards hard-ass 70s rock. Love it.
Top serious question, though: What's the download code on that card? Mine literally says, "code" in the box where it's supposed to be, and it doesn't work. I NEED THE MUSIC, FUCKERS!
|

that drummer gets crazy sounds out of that caveman-style playing
YES! So much energy, throughout entire sets. Very impressive. Sorry I didn't see you!
|
|
|
Saw you from afar, sharyn, but never got over to flap gums. Sorry!
|
|
|
Two shows in a row I saw Slee from afar & never got to chat. We should rectify this.
|
|
|
WTF? Didn't know you were there! Fuck shows, let's get some Italian beef at your new favorite Packers bar.
|
|
|
Oh man I can't believe we missed each other AGAIN. Yr like my Desperately Seeking Susan.
|
|
|
I also saw groovy for just a moment, but I was feeling a little fried at that point and ready for bed.
|
|
|
Hahaha sharyn I was also on a t-shirt mission at that point!
Slee YES.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Woah. Adster rocking the Hate Face t-shirt! Sorry I missed this but work won out for me.
|
|
|
This was so fun :)
|
|
|
i only bought 2 t-shirts, i feel so ashamed
|
