well we have released a little 5 song demo. we made and sold about 50 of those i think. now we are going all out and
recording all the rest of our songs and covers! and releasing that sometime in may. so far i have only recorded the drums,
and it sounds awsome. we used twice as many mics as we did for the original demo, and took much greater care in recording
it. ill get back with more news at another time when im not so tired. please, if anyone know of any shows, or wants us to
play in a shows, email us at the bigcheeseska@hotmail.com thanks -matt
WOW, it appears that people are actually visiting this site, at least i think there are. but anyway another much needed
update. were not very good at this updating stuff, But here it goes.
So as most of you know we recorded with rich, but the vocals were hurtin and we never really got around to going back to
fix them, and eventually the tracks got erased by accident. So we went a while with only the 4 or 5 Cds that are floating
around from the rich recording, then something amazing happened. Mark got a job!!! He now works at the pioneer gas station
in Alliston so go there and bug him. Anyway, after he got his job he went out and bought some cool recording stuff and stole
some fancy recording programs off the internet. Thank god for the kazaa. So now we have been recording with him, and it sounds
awesome. Not as good as with rich but quite good all the same. And the best part is that we can spend as much time as we want
making it sound awesome and we don’t have to pay for any of it, besides the CDs and stuff. So were hoping to have that
done by the end of this month or by our next show which brings me to the next topic. Ah yes, we are going to have lots of
songs on it, and most will be news ones. And there will be some secret tracks, so keep an ear out for them!
We haven’t played since the summer so were hoping for more shows. Well play anything. But I think that we have 3
coming up in December. None of them are fore sure but I think that there in one on the 9th 10th and
11th of December. But nothings written in stone. In fact im not even sure where they are. But well get back to
that later. Anyway, that’s all for now.

Alright time for some much needed updates to our whacky site, as if anyone looks at it anyways, I mean i am pretty much
just talking to myself. Well our band has had some major changes over the past couple months so lets take it from the top.
We finally finished recording our e.p and got to hear our singer dave for the first time in all his monotone glory, and it
made baby jesus cry. So we dropped dave a painful experience but it had to be done for the good of eardrums everywhere. We
were looking for another singer for a while and couldn't find anyone who was available to jam all the time, and things were
getting kinda hopeless we even tried to teach marks bird to sing, and then something wonderful happened, mark sang. So now
we have mark singing for us now which makes jamming and writing songs a million times easier. Things are looking up now, we
have a show coming up this weekend at some rich kids house, richy rich i think. As soon as we get a couple shows under our
belt with mark we are going to go back into the studio(apartment) and re-record the e.p. Well i did it i updated see you sometime
somewhere somehow.

WOW, its been awhile since we have been on here updating things. well thats because we have been buisy with fun things
like.... recording a 8 song EP. thats right 8 songs. its almost a full length. anyway the instruments were recorded back in
march and earlie april but the thing that has been taking so long is dave. we have been waiting around for him to stop getting
grounded and record the EP for 2 months. but now the time has come and tonight ( may 25) he is recording. while we were waiting
mark, devon and i have been comming up with the inserts and such so hopefully the EP should be done by then end
of may, or possibly earlie april. well, we have a show comming up in a week and dave wont be singing as he is going to blink182,
tisk. so we have a replacement.anywho, bye for now

Me and Devon cancelled the unplugged show due to not practicing or learny any songs that we were going too, but we attended
it on march 10, and it was fun. We have 2 new shows coming up at the end of march, on the 26th we will be playing in Alliston
at the arena with kyla Atlas' band midnight mission, (apparently another ska band). then the next friday on April 2nd we will
be playing at Hockley again, with Adam Bomb, Revenge of the tape, the Impaired. I was just informed last night that we were
signed up to another show to help profit the improv club at school, stay tuned for more info on that.
Another bit of news is we have been jamming with a saxophone player named Rebecca, she was making up stuff to one of
our new songs and everyone seemed to like it, hopefully she will be jamming out a few songs at the march 26, april 2nd shows.

The show at Hockley was excellent the friday the 13th bad luck thing definetly didnt take any effect on us cause the
show was excellent, all bands played very well, and the place was packed when we went on at 9:15, a little problem with
the drum situation but it got sorted out, I personally think this is the best show ive ever been to in the tottenham/hockley/alliston
area ever, thanks to the Impaired for putting on a good show, our next is going to be saturday the 28th and were not entirely
sure where yet. we have also decided to record, we havent made a date yet but it will probably be within the next month so
definetly by april we will have an e.p. out with probaly around 7songs, we will keep you informed on this matter.

Why hello all you nobel followers, we have recently played a fun and super secret show at Dave Henry's mansion. it was
very fun and exciting. the 12 or so people who were there seemed to like us. We have two upcoming shows in
the next month. one on the 13, yes thats right, Friday the 13!!!!!! something is sure to happen. then after that there is
a possible show on the 28th. were not sure where abouts this show will be taking place but it will be sure to be a doozie.
matt
We are not sure when, but sometime in the near future another party show will be played this time taking place at
Marks house, the show is for special friends mainly but if you really want to come talk to me and im sure ill say yes. Adam
Bomb and the Landmines may also be playing at this fun get together. Id like to apologize for one thing, there is no spell
check on this internet making device that we build this site with, so when ever Matt has written something it is sure to be
riddled with wrongly spelled words and mispronunciations of various words.

The show at st. thomas Aquinas was exceptionally fun a very large stage and a great turn out made for a great night,
all bands played very well despite the short set times, we got a mear 20minutes with little time to set up amp settings or
check sound, but we pulled it together pretty quickly and had a lot of fun, we currently have no shows planned and probably
wont be playing one till a little while after the holidays due to me going on a trip muhahaha but well be back soon enough.

MUSIC! Yes keep your eyes peeled (and one open while you sleep) for show updates! picture updates! and one day we might even
have an album! so look out for that (and a song that isnt just random noise to put on the site!)
