Where would you park your DeLorean?

This one is parked in a new coffeeshop in Chicago caled Worm Hole.  The whole place is straight out of 1984 and has a souped up time-traveling DeLorean in the front window.  That means The Squad could play this joint any year we want!

 

Bioshock Keeps on coming!

I haven't even played Bioshock 2 yet, but I'm totally excited about Bioshock Infinite after seeing this trailer:

Got great pics of WRS? Gimme!

Since we have a new album coming out and are ramping up our promotions, we're looking for the images that really capture both the images and feel of WRS.  So many great pictures only include one of us, and we're a band so that just won't do.

Do you have a great photo of the whole Squad you think would make a great promo pic?  Send it or a link to us - you could be part of the WRS press kit or maybe even future posters and albums!

Here's an old favorite of mine. I love the meta nature of an image of an image of the band! (Plus Bruce is in front for once!)

Dream Gig: WRS plays Mars 2112 in NYC

We don't have the gig yet, but The Squad dreams big, and this wild fancy bar & grill set on the planet Mars itself seems the perfect venue to maximize the Nerdwave experience.

If you or yours can make this dream gig happen, make it so and let us know!

Check out more madness on io9.com and the Mars 2112 site!

The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy: Dalek Section

So pleased to be able to see more articles in the Guide. Mine stopped receiving and the new version I picked up only allows me to write 140-character comments about things. It also has some sort of stylized fruit on it, rather than "Don't Panic" in large, friendly letters.

 

IRON BABY!

Sometimes a movie come along that immediately calls for another movie to come along.

 

Tornado Rider - another awesome Power Trio

Jennifer ellen Cook turned me on to this majesty of musical mayhem. 3-piece punk band, but the lead singer plays hardcore cello and like to climb around and hang from things while playing and singing!
