yo! last stow aways news on this page ever: this is the website:right here. Also, new fashionable site because I lost the other one's password: right here. Also, i'll probably be moving this page soon.
7/24/01
hello. it's been a long time since I last upsated. We've played two shows since, a bad one at Joe Weber's house and a good one at the Murphy's House. We're trying to find someone to record the new material we have with Jake on Drums well enough so we could, say, do a split seven inch with doomsday cauldron. I am completely redoing the webpage, all the stow aways stuff is moved out, the last time youll ever hear about the stow aways is when I finally set up a different page and link it. But, i updated the shows page, which will pretty much be like a tour diary type thin. New pics from Jake's house show. We got a show at Jake's house again on the 11 of august with a bunch of touring bands. more info on everything soon.
6/21/01
hey there. we got some new flyers up. today is the third show at Mike's house we've put on, hopefully it will work out. Also, after a long string of two or three shows in a row and then breaking for a little while and then more, after the show today, our next show isn't until July 14, and that's all we got booked for July. Flyers for that will be out shortly. If you missed the June 14 and 15 shows, then you are an ass, and an unlucky one at that, because you will unfortunately never be able to see Communist Conspiracy Rhythms in it's original line up with Rob at drums. June 14 show at the Peirce St. house was cool, we were together but the levels sucked, and there wasn't much energy. But Doomsday Cauldron and USV were amazing. June 15 was basically a dozen people in Jamie's garage, which was cool because it was Rob's last show and they were all friends. We kinda got shut down by the neighbors, and Fightbacks only got like a 15 minute set (sorry), which sucked because they are really rocking. We all went to pizza shutle for one last after show dinner. June 16 was, our first show with Jake on drums. There was a real weird vibe around that show, but I thought the show went well, because I had fun and that's all that matters for me. Rob was sitting on the couch on my immediate left, and it was cool that he came to the show, but kind of surreal that he was sitting on the couch and not the drum stool when our set was going on. By the way, everyone is on great terms, all of us (Rob, Giff, Tony, Jake) are still close freinds and always will be. So it was really great playing the first show with Jake but still sad that Rob wasn't in the band, because we've had some great times playing shows and being a band. (Rob trilogy R.I.P. June 15). But, as far as recording goes, we are still planning on recording most of the songs we wrote while Rob was in the band with Rob on drums, with possible split seven inches with Doomsday Cauldron and more. The June 20 show was a whole lotta fun, Senile Citizens and Frontside bluw (sp???) be away, Pro. D. opened it was cool. So that's really all thAt's been happening lately in Communist Conspiracy Rhythms world. Check it later. (p.s.: suggested listening: At The Drive :Relationship of Command or any other, Seven Days of Samsara "We're all already dead" seven inch, Fugazi "steady Diet of Nothing", Q and Not U "No Kill No Beep Beep", Paper Chase "Young bodies heal quickly, you know", Lawrence Arms/Chinkees "Present Day Memories", Fifteen "Survivor", Against All Authority "24 Hour Roadside Resistince", the fightbacks, Muder in the red barn, Public Enemy "Fear of a Black Planet"
6/2/01

5/31/01
Hey, links newly added to the bands The Fashionable and Oh So Congley.... The Fashionable is a new project to take the place of the Stow Aways when the Stow Aways die, and Oh So Congley is a band with Tony drumming. It's old school DK-meets-crass-and-opivy type of band. Our first show is Friday June 8. Plus, everyone come out to DANFEST III on Satruday at the punk mahal, CCR plays @ 1:30.
5/23/01

For those of you who care, I've decided to end The Stow Aways. I've got about twelve songs left that I will record, some with Jake on Drums, then I'll master everything onto CD and put it up for free at MP3.com with art and the works, instead of trying to market it and sell it. This will also be the end of Stow Away Records, but the begining of a new label. More info soon at The Association of No Bullshit.
3/31/01
Hello! CCR has MEGA shows coming up, most of them I don't know the info for, but they are at the SHOWS PAGE anyways. The next show is next friday, April 6, at Port High Talent Show! Don't miss this clasic experience, it's bound to be hilarious when CCR meets a room full of parents and students. Who knows, maybe they'll like us. People can be suprisingly open minded sometimes. We also have some VERY big news: ROB, our good friend and drummer, is leaving after the May 25 show at Bo's House. We are very sad that he has to leave, but Rob's gotta raise money for college so he can go on tour with his other band, I Belong. Amazingly enough, CCR has been around for NEARLY A YEAR! Wholy fuck! Rob, Giff and I have had some awesome times driving around the state to play for any fucking person who emailed us. So ROB: we're really going to miss you, it's not going to be the same, and you will always be the original drum-fill ridden CCR drummer and writer of our three classic songs. As for CCR, Giff and I are planning to keep doing CCR, and we're working with Jake (from Half Fare and Universal Will to Become) and seeing what happens. Presumebley (I'm sorry, I can't spell), June 2nd will be our first show with Jake on drums.
3/21/01
Hey. I just added pictures of the bands we played with saturday to the Shows page. I have a little I Zone camera, and I figured, hey, why not show you the other bands. I tryed to get everybody in the pics, but, since it doesn't have good ranged, sometimes people that were supposed to be in the shot got blacked out or cut off. Sorry to the Gleanors and I Belong, I ran out of film on Consilation Prize.
3/6/01

The CCR MP3 page is up and we have music! go to: http://www.mp3.com/commie !. Also, The Stow Aways are using Interpunk as a distro now. I ENCOURAGE anybody who wants to order a Stow Aways tape to go directly through Stow Away Records because it's a lot cheaper, but we have Interpunk as an option for people who like to order over the internet. The tapes cost WAY too much now, don't worry, I'm going to get the cost down on "To All the Rockstars:" soon, hopefully to $3.00 or $3.25. Go to Our Order Page or the InterPunk Website and search for The Stow Aways for more info. Hope to see you this Friday at The Second Basement Show at Bo's house!

yo. we just played the couch a week ago . it was real fun, but there was some real stupid shit going. A lot of unnecesary grafetti every where. Come on, if ou're going to go to a show, respect the place that's putting it on. The Couch is very leaneant on a lot of things, and it's a really nice place to hang, so lets not have a couple of fucking dickheads come in and fuck it up, a-ight? Also, there were sapossedly some anti-gay rights, nazi punks there, and some violence happening in the pit over really stupid shit. Let me just set the record straight: Communist Conspiracy Rhythms is absolutly and completly ANTI NAZI, PRO GAY, ANTI RACIST, etc. I dont know why all of a sudden certain types of people are coming to our shows, but, hey, fucking grow up or your NOT welcome here, a-ight? But other than that shit, it was really fun. people seemed really happy with our set, even though we don't really have our shit together, and, as always, I Belong was fucking amazing, Sniffin Dog Ears was cool, and Half Fare was really rad. So, in other news We have a new show. It is in Fon du Lac, w/ Jinxed, Pudge, Pick 9, and Koji. Check out the SHOWS page for more info. Check out the STOW AWAY RECORDS page for new info on voting for songs, etc.
8/10/00
Hey! We got a show at The Couch w/ I Belong, Half Fare, and Sniffin Dog Ears, $3, 7:00 Sharp, we open. Check out CCR show page for more details. Also, we will most probably be playing the new band night at the Concert Cafe in Green Bay on August 18, and most definetly be playin on the 26 of August in Fondulac at some type of festi-party called Wade's World or something. More info, as we get it, wil be added soon. Again, check out the CCR shows page for more info. We are also planning to record sometime in the future as a full band, possibly with an all new member, so keep your ears peeled for a CCR full length this winter/spring maybe, out on STOW AWAY records. But in the meantime, I'm putting together a compilation that will be the first STOW AWAY RECORDS release. And it will be FREE! The bands confirmed for it are CCR, The Stow Aways, I Belong, Half Fare, The Suppermints... and some that are tentative are Astronout Icecream Headache, a solo project from Tyler of Half Fare, and the new, as far as I know yet to be untitled, band of Andy, the Guitar player from local milwauke hard/emocore band BUAER! That's all the news for now, but stay tuned for ultra cool new news from the CCR/Stow Away headquarters.
7/29/00
Hello. Our First show was a little sloppy, but LOTS of fun. The Supermints were really good, sand didn't show up, and I Belong was HARDCORE! Sorry we didn't play at green bay the next day.
