THAT LYING BITCH ...

Any musician has the right to create a 2nd band if they choose and that's exactly what 2 of the band mates from the Plain White T's have done. The band is called "That Lying Bitch" and it consists of Tom Higgenson and Dave Tirio from the T's as well as 2 other guys named Darren and Eric. They have decided to start from square 1 again after all these many years. The guys met back in High School and have always played in Punk Bands. Darren had a band called "THE SCISSORS" and apparently he talks about his EX in the new band's music. She was the guitarist in Darren's old band which ended a few months before "THAT LYING BITCH" was created. Eric and Darren are on the guitar in the group while Tom's on the drums and Dave's on the bass. Darren uses a VOX in the group and everyone is on backups. The band's name came to be when Tom told Darren he had his Kerplunk Greenday album and turned out Tom didn't have it after all. The guys are only playing around Chicago as of now but perhaps they'll tour around, eventually with even the T's. Their tunes are pretty catchy and can be only heard as of now via on youtube. Here's a clip of them at a gig.  

Their Nicknames are: Peeping Tom, Darren Trama, The Godfather & of course Dave Hovno.

If you ever get a chance you should really check them out .. Their influence for their music is actually The Ramones.  All of the band photos posted in this blog post are from the band's facebook page. 

To all my readers out there I will be keeping you posted ASAP with anything NEW that may go down with these guys so stay tuned !

Love Always,

MY BEACH TRIP '11

Hey all,

I'm sorry I haven't blogged with you in a while. So lets see what's new in my life I am here at the beach until well tomorrow evening & finished a video project dealing with a concert I was in back in May. It came out amazingly well but the stupid issue is the file is so big it wont allow me post it on youtube and or facebook or even email it. So alas I had to shorten the video and post it as 2 parts for youtube. I just won today at the casino 30 $ on the slots but lost 10 $. Apparently my lucky winning music to help me win is again the PLAIN WHITE T'S. Lets see my concert I'm attending is 2 nights away & I'm hoping I get the Meet & Greet with the band. I just got a tweet back yesterday on twitter from @jacksonrathbone & he's the guy I'm seeing on Wednesday evening with his band mates of the 100 Monkeys. I am stoked to party with that band at the venue named Bourbon Street Ball Room & can't wait to hear some good laughs from Jackson & Ben Graupner.

Let's see what else has been instore for me over my beach trip I got some sun Saturday, & Sunday & plan on getting some more sun tomorrow aka Tuesday so I look great for the concert. I went shopping today as well and bought some new Skinny Jeans from aeropostle and couldn't stop thinking of Tom Higgenson and the fact I heard about him lol as well. and of course I bought a new pair of shoes from sketchers shoe outlet for my job as well. I know for tomorrow the only thing in store is more beach time of course and going to get a Rita's Ice.

I promise you all I will be blogging some more soon & will keep you posted with some new photos from the concert Wednesday evening. Is it possible as well to wish I could bring the T's with me to the concert I guess it is but would they really show up?? That Idk.

Love Always,

Joanna

 

MY PLAIN WHITE T'S ENCOUNTER MAY 7TH, 2011

THIS IS MY NEW BLOG HERE ON BLOGGER AND I WOULD LOVE TO TALK ABOUT CONCERTS AND WHAT ELSE MAY BE NEW IN MY LIFE. THE LAST CONCERT I WAS AT WAS ON  MAY 7TH & I WENT TO SEE THE BAND THE PLAIN WHITE T'S PERFORM AT A DOWN TO EARTH SHOW. IT HAD BEEN AT THE KENTUCKY DERBY DAY EVENT AT PIMLICO IN BALTIMORE MD. THE BAND WAS AMAZING AND GREAT AND AGAIN LEFT US THE FANS COMING BACK FOR MORE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE PLEASURE OF MEETING THE BAND AFTER THE SHOW FOR PICTURES AND EVEN WAS ABLE TO TALK WITH TOM HIGGENSON HIM SELF WHO'S THE LEAD SINGER AND WAS ABLE TO CHAT WITH DAVE TIRIO TOO THE LEAD RHYTHM GUITARIST. THEY ARE BOTH SWEET AND PRETTY AWESOME GUYS TO TALK WITH. I WAS ABLE TO BRIEFLY TALK WITH TIM LOPEZ AND DE'MAR HAMILTON WHO WERE PRETTY GREAT BUT VERY SOME WHAT QUIET AT THE MEETING. MICK IS THE QUITEST ONE OF THEM ALL THOUGH AND SEEMED TO BE PRETTY SHY I'M THINKING HE NEEDED A BEER TO OPEN UP FOR CHATTING. WHEN I TALKED WITH TOM I THANKED HIM FOR MY BIRTHDAY SHOUT TWEET WHICH WAS ON APRIL 25TH 2011. TOM THEN SAID TO ME YOUR JOANNA AREN'T U? AND I REPLIED YES I AM AND HE SAID WELL IM TOM ITS NICE TO MEET YOU. HE IS SOO LAID BACK AND COOL I COULD HAVE TALKED WITH HIM ALL DAY. HE HAD TOLD ME PERSONALLY NO HE'S NOT WITH ANGIE ANYMORE AND I FOUND OUT LATER THE DETAILS WHY. HE I BELIEVE IS GONNA BE A TRUE LEGEND FOR BANDS AND SO WILL HIS BAND MATES. HIS BAND MATE THOUGH DAVE NOW BECAUSE IM THINKING HE DOESNT GET TALKED WITH AS MUCH AS TOM AND TIM DO HE WAS REALLY MORE OPEN TO TALK WITH ME THEN AND I WAS ABLE TO KIND OF STUMP HIM WITH A MUSIC QUESTION TOO.

FROM THIS MEETING I PROMISED TO MYSELF IM HOPING I CAN BECOME GREAT FRIENDS WITH TOM AND THE BAND. I WANT TO TRY AND KEEP THE RUMORS ASTRAY AND HELP CLEAR THE AIR FOR TOM AND THE BAND MATES.

 LOVE ALWAYS,

JOANNA
