FATAL FLAW at the Lizard Lounge
We sure hope that 2012 is treating you very well thus far. Now that 2011 is finally out of the picture for good, we feel like we should probably tell you that we never really liked that guy; he was all wrong for you.
At one of the many, many glamorous and star-studded holiday parties we attended this year, an old acquaintance asked, "Hey, are The Fatal Flaw still playing shows?" That was perhaps a wake-up call that we haven't exactly been playing out quite as often as we should. So our goal is to remedy that going forward with a greater number and variety of public performances. Starting ... pretty much immediately.
Saturday, January 14th @ The Lizard Lounge
(1667 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02138)
Marc Pinansky (of Township) 8:30-9:00
The Fatal Flaw 9:15-10:00
St. Helena 10:15-11:00
Black Fortress of Opium 11:15-12:00
Doors at 8 pm, $8, 18+

In a related story, we're also happy to announce that we have a new member of The Fatal Flaw to welcome into the fold: manning the drum kit for us full-time will now be none other than snappy dresser and local legend, Randy Tartow (aka, "Dancin' Randy"). He's awesome, so if you're able to come check us out on the 14th you'll be in for a real treat. Be sure that you say hello and make him feel right at home!
We should have some more news and updates for you soon enough. Until then, be good, take care, and hope to see you soon.
Best,
Joel / The Fatal Flaw

FATAL FLAW with the Apprecitation Post at TT's
Just around the corner, on Friday, September 30th ... that's one week from this Friday ... your friends in The Fatal Flaw will be performing in colorful Central Square at TT the Bear's Place (10 Brookline Street, Cambridge, MA 02139).
We will be supporting a band that I've long hoped to play with: namely, The Appreciation Post. We've shared a rehearsal space hallway with these gents for a couple of years now, and whenever I hear them playing their excellent songs through the paper-thin walls of the Sound Museum, I always feel a combination of pleasure, admiration and, of course, envy. And that last reaction might just be the highest compliment one musician can pay another, really. Their stuff is a delightful combination of intricate, well-crafted, catchy, and hard rocking, and definitely something you want to check out. They're also debuting a new guitar player at this show and have a delightful sense of humor, if you needed extra motivation. (Plus, I've heard them working on their super-secret cover song for this show, and it sounds like it's going to be pretty awesome.)
The Appreciation Post (midnight)

TT's with Chixdiggit // Insubordination Fest
Next week The Fatal Flaw will be participating in a couple of super-fun shows that also promise to be one serious trip down memory lane for yours truly.
If you'll indulge my nostalgia, many of you reading this here newsletter probably already know that I cut my musical teeth as part of the mid-'90s California pop-punk and Lookout Records community (first as a member of the Mr. T Experience, and later as part of the Avengers, Pansy Division and the Plus Ones). All of the bands we'll be performing with next have strong ties to that era, and I go way, way back with most of these guys: Chixdiggit (Canadian masters of the form, with a new album on Fat Wreck Chords), Kepi Ghoulie (of the Groovie Ghoulies) and Emily's Army (whose drummer is the progeny of Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong ... I opened up for his band 15 years ago, and now his son's band is on tour and sharing a stage with me: I don't know about you, but I find that totally awesome and even kind of moving).
Thursday, August 11th, 2011
@ TT the Bear's - Cambridge, MA
w/ Chixdiggit (11:45 pm), Kepi Ghoulie (10:50 pm)
The Fatal Flaw (9:55 pm), Emily's Army (9 pm)
Doors 8:30 pm, $10, 18+
Tickets
We're also playing with all of those very same bands (along with 11 other fine acts) two days later as part of the Insubordination Festival in Baltimore, MD. This annual event is like a pop-punk class reunion, and folks come from all over the country to celebrate our particular brand of rock and roll. I've played past years with various bands, but this will be my first time bringing The Fatal Flaw to perform and I'm excited to learn exactly what this audience will make of us.

At long last, the second full-length record by Boston's own The Fatal Flaw, NARROW HOURS, will be released and the official album release show will be FRIDAY, MAY 27th at TT the BEAR'S. $10, 18+, 8:30 doors.
Check out this incredible line-up: Sidewalk Driver. Hot Protestants. The Future Everybody.
Star-studded from top to bottom, I'm sure you'll agree.
These record release shows only come along once every few years, so we like to make a big deal out of them. Accordingly, the first 100 folks through the door will receive their very own copy of Narrow Hours absolutely FREE.
That's only ten dollars for both the show and the CD combined.
We implore you to be there!
