WRONG.

Unless you were about to say “Going to PA’s Lounge,” which is the correct answer.  The gates will be opened at 8:00.  Milquetoast will give you some of that old razzle-dazzle at 9:00, and we will follow soon after.  Our set will include a BRAND NEW SONG, we think.  Next will be The Atomica Project, visiting us all the way from the so-called “Windy” City (which in reality is not that much windier than here — no really, I’ve been there!), so please stick around and lavish them with your praises and gas money.  Indeed, it is sure to be an evening of sound and spectacle.

On a more somber note, we are in Lenten times and therefore I cannot accept any alcoholic beverages that find their way to the stage.  If you feel you must generously reward our efforts with libations, Stacia will have a Jack&ginger, Honeysmacks wants a Patron on the rocks, Nikki would enjoy a beer, and a Shirley Temple with an extra cherry for me, s’il vous plait.

Perhaps you’ve noted that we will be sharing a stage with The Daily Pravda and Midatlantic on Friday, November 7th at the Middle East Upstairs in Cambridge, MA. You may be wondering, “Daily what? What is this Pravda of which you speak?” Let’s examine the facts:

• From Wikipedia: “Pravda (Russian: Правда, “The Truth”) was a leading newspaper of the Soviet Union and an official organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party between 1912 and 1991.”
• Pravda is also the name of a Polish vodka.

Does that clear it up for you? Well here, let’s examine the video for their new single “Terrified”:

I’m sensing a political theme, but maybe that’s just me. A bit of a David Bowie/Suede kind of influence, wouldn’t you agree? Whatever it all means, it is safe to say that these are very charming fellows whom we have had the pleasure of performing with before and they put on a really quite good show. You are going to come. There I’ve made up your mind for you.

Next week, a hard-hitting exposé on the band that calls themselves “Midatlantic”. Until then, you can do a bit more research on The Daily Pravda at their website.  Now let’s drink some vodka!

Behold, the first post in the brand new Provocateur blog! Hurrah! Excitement! Et cetera!

YourFriendsAreNaked.com will feature Provocateur news coverage about as comprehensive as you’re going to find anywhere, straight from the horses’ mouths (my what an unflattering turn of phrase). In the coming days we will be adding galleries to the blog where you can see photos of the group, and even share some of your own (once they have undergone our rigorous double chin screening process). We will be posting clips of the new album for you to download and enjoy and turn into ringtones or whatever it is you people do. There will be contests! Prizes! Gossip! Windows Paint Artwork! Who knows really but it’s all rather exciting!

Did you know that we will be performing again in just a few short weeks? Well, we will be. Here are a couple of facts that you should know so you can prepare accordingly:

Fri 11/7 - Midatlantic (formerly The Bleedin Bleedins), The Daily Pravda, Provocateur - Middle East Upstairs - 18+ $9adv/$10dos

More details to come soon, as well as a brief introduction to the other bands we will be sharing the stage with. But for now, a different performance-related matter: It has recently been brought to my attention by a Madonna fan that She has been doing aerobic activities, including jump-roping in her unmentionables, at recent concerts.

Scientific Poll: Would you be more willing to buy our music if we were to begin our concerts by jump-roping in our underthings?

A) Obviously.
B) Gross, no.
C) Perhaps.
D) I just can’t be sure.
E) Only if Honeysmacks does it; the rest of you sorry lot can keep your britches on.
F) All of the above.

Please note that your vote doesn’t actually have any effect whatsoever on whether we disrobe and double dutch on stage (we won’t); we’re simply trying to understand the way a Provocateur fan thinks.
