We are T.S.A.OR in more individual terms; trevor, jesse, eli, and, of course, Bill the Bowler. The Artists are stationed in San Francisco, where we eat and stuff.
As far as hiring us for a gig goes, were good, do our own equitment setup, and are free.(unless if it's a square gig, or you WANT to pay us...)
We play a variety of music, everything from raggae to alt punk. Pretty much, we play GOOD STUFF- for those of us who can't keep attention for one music genre for more than a couple of minutes. We have a drummer, a guitarist, a bassist, and a guy with a throat and a microphone.

So TSA isnt dead anymore. w00t. Eventually we'll revamp this site for the new TSA, but until then, this bulletin is to assure you that we are, in fact, still alive.

January 3rd, 05
So our battle of the bands show at the pound is on Sunday January 23rd, at 6:00. Be there. Or don't be there. We'd really prefer you being there, as opposed to not being there. Not being there is just lame.

Happy New Years, guys. We've got a few new things going on pretty soon. First off, the new TSA forums are open, so ya'll can talk your internett-ish there. Also, we're going to be recording a few tracks pretty soon at The Dutch Oven. Lastly, it seems we're going to be in the first round of The Pound's Battle of the Bands again pretty soon, later january (we'll get you a real date on that pretty soon.) So yeah, fun fun fun.

As far as policemen and rock and roll shows go, they... dont mix. Which pretty much describes how our show for greg went. So yeah, cops came (while we were playing cop killer, strangely enough), people left, then came back (stoned, naturally), and we made our way back to bill's house. I think people had an inherant lack of interest in us after we let TSA chums josh and tony open for us, with josh on guitar, tony on bass, and both making their frighteningly futuristic (or:sucky) take on such clapton classics (oh yeah, we dont like clapton) as Laila and sunshine of your love (cream rocks, though.)
In summation, if you didnt show up saturday, you didnt miss much.
In other news, i think our polar oppisates (minimum wage) broke up. Now we control the megaverse

We've got a show at greg's house on saturday the 23 at 6. If you dont know where that is, e-mail us and we'll get back to you (or IM gooberhimself) there's a cover charge, so bring 2 bucks, and more in case you feel like stuffing money in our pants. We're playing with acoustic shadow, a metal band.
In other news... we've got a secret that we cant tell you yet. Because we're awesome.

-it may be that we're gonna play a show at pleanis' house this friday, so move your fat asses down to his house (with the battle cry, "Party at Pleaner's House!) anyway, we're probably gonna be there, if not playing, at least bill the bowler and jesse will be there to knock over lamps and throw stuff at pleaner's little brother. Party on!
Meanwhile, if you see any rudeboys running around north beach on holloween, pumping ska out of a ghetto blaster, that's probablyg gonna be us. because we're awesome.

-Woopdeedoowhapaaa! You know the battle of the bands show that we played last wednesday (and forgot to tell everyone about)? We owned it! at least the first round. They're going to have some finals, but they havent told us when they will be yet. we'll keep you posted this time so dont worry. Also, we're playing a show on july 15, at The Gaslighter in Gilroy... yes, gil-oneandahalffuckinghoursaway-roy. I dont really have a good feeling about it. Most of the people we've talked to say that gilroy isnt fun. It's supposed to smell like garlic, and the population consists entirely of mexican migrant workers. So i guess we'll see how it is... anyway, if you want to see rock it with some other bands, and dont mind driving way-the-hell over to gilroy...drive way-the-hell to gilroy and see us play with some other bands. bitches.

--Yo people. I got the forum up and running if you want to do any ranting and raving. Just click forum, to the left. I've layed down some rules in the first post, just to let the smacktards know that papa don't take no mess. Also, if you're wondering what that happy face holding a bible is talking about, just click him to go to one of our "affiliates". Don't forget to use the username "TSArulesMySatan" (trust us, you'll appreciate it.) And before I forget, someone should remind me to put up the pics of us playing at Eli's birthday party. There's a photo of his cousin Jesse looking... menacing. There's also the fact that we're playing at Marina Middle School's Multicultural Festival (which was created to celebrate the tremendous history of the...multiculturals...) Usually they have their school's shitty classical orchestra perform, but they seeked us out, hoping to find some "mainstream rock and pop" music for the students. Oh dear. Looks like those poor bastards are in for an unpleasant surprise.

--Happy april fools day. I know what you're thinking--I bet those wacky starving artists are going to do some funny April fools thing to trick us, oh there so funny, hahahaha. Right? wrong. Fuck that. I'm not pullin any of that cliche shit, 'cause you know how id do it. IKEEPSITREEL! anyway, we got an email back from that lady at the vibe (for those who don't know, this teen's club in foster city. I think that's where all the suburban emo bands play or something.) It took her long enough though. she said in the thing that she didn't mail us back since she forgot. suuuurreee. anyway, she said she'll send us the contracts when she gets the CD (am I the only one that thinks that sounds like some line from a bad spy movie?) hopefully we're playing there but I still don't know what these people are talking about. whatever. I'm out

--Hey ya'll. Eli's havin' us play at his birthday party on the 13th (see shows for more info), which kicks ass. You people should be as generous. Anyway, the number to call us is changed. Now, call (415)407-3437. Bill the Bowler got pissed off when a bunch of random people called his house, so he threatened to beat us up. Anyway, drop us a dime. Or you'll be beheaded!

--Merry Fuckin Belated Valentines Day, You Little Bitches!!! TSA is currently without a gig, so if you'd be kind enough to let us borrow your homes, your ears, and... YOUR SOULS, it would be much appreciated if you'd let us play somewhere. 'Cause we're really bored. You can't let our madd phatt skillz go unappreciated, can you? So email us at our address (right) or leave a message for Bill teh Bowler: (415)563-2390. If you end up talking to his mom, ask for "Eli" (wink) See you later, homies.
