The Codes – Two Weekend Shows in Philly!
Philadelphia, PA - Friday June 22, 2007 - The Fire
Let's play a little game. We have a handful of extra tickets for our show at the Fire on Friday the 22nd. Email me right this second and tell me you want a free ticket (thecodesmusic AT gmail DOT com). If you're fast enough, I'll hook you up.
We're playing with some badass bands including Jonny Rumble, Red Ox, LO Power Plane, and Seizure 17.
The Fire - 412 West Girard Ave - 9pm - $7 - 21+
Philadelphia, PA - Saturday June 30, 2007 - The Parkway Room
We're calling this one Codesfest 2007. It's an all night celebration for three of our closest friends. Join us as we wish Harsha and Chloe a happy birthday. And help us say farewell to Joe the Mason as he prepares to move up north to his hometown. Plus, there's no cover charge! RSVP using this link if you want to be in the cool kids club (or just show up). Everyone's invited.
The Parkway Room - 2201 Pennsylvania Ave - 10pm - Free! - 21+
Friendster is Dead
I just closed my Friendster account. The site is on its last legs. Plus, who needs Friendster when you have MySpace. I mean shit, even my street has a MySpace page. All the top friends are my neighbors.
Webster Street could kick your street's ass any day.

The Codes Say “2007 is the Year of the Make-Out”
It's been a while since I last mentioned my band here at The Churning. I'm trying not to be such an attention whore. Ahhh, who am I kidding? I'm the biggest attention whore of all time. So, fuck it. Here's an update:
I sent this information in an email newsletter. If you want to be added to the email list, send an email to thecodesmusic[at]gmail{dot}com with "Subscribe" in the subject line. Don't worry, we'll only send them every month or so. And remember - If you're on the distribution list, it's because we think you're sexy and we want to see you at more of our shows (and by "shows" I mean "make-out parties"). Okay, let's get on with it.
Studio Time - Drexel University
Students from Drexel's Music Production class have invited The Codes to record at MAD Dragon Studios as part of their Music Industry Program. The sessions are scheduled throughout May, and we're hoping to walk away with at least three finished tracks. After a short break for recording, we'll be back on the stage May 22 for one of our biggest shows ever:
Philadelphia, PA - Tuesday, May 22 - The Manhattan Room
This one is going to be insane. We're headlining an incredible lineup that includes three bands from Florida's Post Records. Mumpsy, Dodger, and Sean Moore are stopping in Philly on their East Coast tour. We want to fill the M Room with Codiacs to show these Florida boys what Philly's all about. Check out their magic on MySpace (linked above). These guys really are amazing.
New York, NY - Thursday, May 24 - The Knitting Factory (Old Office)
Next up, we're hitting the road with the Post Records gang. We're joining them at the legendary Knitting Factory with Brooklyn's Unicornicopia. This will be our third time taking the stage at the Knit and for some reason I get the feeling this will be another night of drunken debauchery. Plus, there's a rumor that Natalie Unicornicopia is planning a few surprises.
Philadelphia, PA - Wednesday, May 30 - Grape Street
We're closing out May at Grape Street in Manayunk with Spoons for Adam, Crashbox, and The Arrangements. We're expecting a good turnout for this one - seems like Grape Street always draws a crowd. And the sound system rocks here, so we're planning to cut a live recording at this show. Come out and cheer us on. You might hear your voice on one of the final tracks.
And we already have two weekend shows booked in June, so keep an eye out for the next update.
Later, skaters!

Our bar tab the night before was 2,500 dollars. For about 30 people. Um, we got fucked up. I felt like utter shit in this picture.
 
I approve!!!
Hang Out with me Tonight
I promise I don't hate you. How could I possibly hate anyone who likes The Codes?
