Live Showz

Kirby Krackle rocked the High Dive in Seattle last night with a full set of nerd rock! We took some videos for you to enjoy, kicking off with our final song of the night, Ring Capacity, featuring our homey Beefy! Enjoy!

Fan Expo

Toronto. Home of the Blue Jays, Our Lady Peace (one of my favorite bands), and seemingly hordes of girls that like to dress up in raccoon ears.

We took the KK caravan of tricks to "The Queen City" for 3 days of hustle and our second appearance at a Canadian show. We had our best single selling day ever on Saturday, and ran out of albums on Sunday with 6 hours left in the show. That was a first both cool and annoying, but that way we got to walk around for once and check all the great goods and art. Felt good to get the juices back after a lackluster showing at San Diego and once again saw how Canadians get their "beyond nice" rep. It was great to catch up with the NYC Marvel gang again on Saturday night, see artist friends Laurie B. and Kandrix, plus Jim Zubkavich who went above and beyond in letting us crash at his place, plus we enjoyed some fine local micro-brews. Also, we saw Spock! Looking good Leonard...


You never know who will be in the booth next to you at these conventions, but we were entertained all weekend by the ladies from UTERUS PARADE. Yes, you read that right. They create cute home crafted mini-comics about their adventures both real and made up, and sew crazy octopus plushy things with evil eyes. Awesome.



We cornered the film crew from CTV; the local news program that was doing a piece on the show and Jim did a great interview that was aired that night. All weekend we had folks come up to us after having seen the spot and it was a lot of fun. You can follow the link below and we are featured at the 16:20 mark.





Only one more convention left of the year and it's gonna go off with a bang! For the weekend of October 3rd-5th the Long Beach Comic Con is flying the full band down for a big rock show benefiting the HERO INITIATIVE, a charity that helps out retired comic creative types needing funds for medical services among other things. It's gonna feel really good to be involved with it and we're really excited for a big rock California adventure.

Starting Work on New Album!

We're headed into the big studio this weekend after a few weeks of working on the new album. We'll be cutting the brand new track and tweeting from the studio with pix and fun times this Saturday if you'd like to follow the madness! You can find us on twitter at www.twitter.com/kirbykrackle.

Have a great week and after seeing the video below, we hope to harness some of that energy for sure...

SDCC

Sorry for the late post, post-SDCC has been hectic so here's the breakdown. First, a couple of crazy pictures from the show floor and of our table:







It was 5 days of awesome - selling cd's, interacting with our fans, and meeting tons of new ones who thankfully made the effort to come by and tell us how much they liked the album after buying it online! We saw some con goers turned fans from San Fransisco from February who actually brought us gifts, some folks who have been graciously spreading the word in Canada for the past few months, and even a fan named Mario who came all the way from Mexico City to say hi to one of his favorite bands. WOW. All the fans who came by who enjoy KK and share that enthusiasm with us are so fun and amazing that we try to cherish every moment while we're there. It's a great feeling!

As you know from following us on Twitter (you do follow @kirbykrackle, right?), we love using it. We did some next level stuff and did daily Twitter contests. Each day we would post a first-come first-serve contest on our page when the show floor opened offering the winner their choice of a free shirt or album once the task was completed. One day, it was to sing the Mario Brothers theme song at the top of your lungs, and the other was to sing "Naked Wii" while slow dancing with Jim like in the video below. Katie and her boyfriend Aaron were great to meet and were good sports letting us film it to post online (Part of the deal)! It was so fun, and to the few people who accused us of maliciously abusing our fans via the contest? TOTALLY.



As always, cons have tons of great costumers, here's some of our faves:








Crazy fun, five days of craziness. Thanks to everyone who came out to see us, we had a blast and are already signed up for next year! It's a crazy party, hope you can join us!
