We're Killing Ourselves Off For The Good
Of Humanity Like Arnold Schwarzenegger In
Terminator 2 JOYSTICKS Tour 2000!
|
The Joysticks have
initiated the breakdown of OOBS and
Personnel-associated substructures within. This
massive, landmark, interstate, summer
tour
2000 is counting down
the days until the 4-year project, known as
OOBS, dissintegrates. We believe the
organization has accomplished more than was ever
thought possible back in 1996 when it was
founded. With these accomplishments achieved,
OOBS is obviously a more than successful
venture. We hope that the one-time small
cassette label turned revolutionary band
alliance and state of mind will spawn many
future experiments from the roboyouth of
tomorrow, helping to carry on the
OOBS legacy. We thank you all for your
support, interest, and contributions. Until we
meet again...over and out.

Joystick-ensued Riot Breaks Out At The
Beehive
|
What was supposed to be
a mild, sololy-handled-Gregg Joysticks'
performance because of an ill-stricken Richard,
turned into a massive riot. The diversified
crowd didn't not know how to handle the mild
turned destructive and in-your-face noise act,
thus rebelling in an unruly fashion. Here's an
indepth recap
of what happened.

Hungry For The Joysticks
|
In a recent contest
held by "Mr. Make Me Hungry Man" (whatever that
means), The Joysticks were blatantly
disrespected in an attrocious act of ignorance
and public humiliation. Their remix track, "I
Mixed (Fucked) Your Mom Last Night" was absolute
genius, and the best mixing job one could make,
especially considering the piss poor samples
provided. After listening to the winners, I now
realize that this HHMH
organization was merely looking for artists that
could create remixes that sounded exactly like
the original, or at least that's what it sounds
like. When an original, interpretive piece such
as The Joysticks' gets submitted it becomes
easily overlooked because of it's depth and
indecipherable nature. This is a tragedy to one
and all, so I have made the track
available to you
all on the web page.
I'm sure you'll enjoy and agree it should have a
place on the MMHM remix release.

The Joysticks...Best Show Of
Talent?
|
While close-minded,
bonehead teachers like Mr. Paglia, who produced
the Talent
Show 2000, believe the
Joysticks are a talentless group of degenerates,
it was recently documented quite to the
contrary. As a matter of fact, it was stated
that The Joysticks are the "Best Show Of
Talent" in Pittsburgh! For more on this and
to read the article in it's entirety click

and you'll find The Joysticks' portion to be
fourth from the bottom.

Exploitation of Boy Band Market
|
The Joysticks' latest
stab at exploiting the pop market is in the form
of the boy band phenomenon. Starting as a mere
prank
on the school newspaper, The Char-Valiant, this
Joysticks' turned boy band craze erupted into a
massive publicity stunt. The Joysticks
restructured their abandoned MP3.com site to be
an exact replica of 'N Sync's and then added
their own songs under 'N Sync titles.
Look,
laugh, and listen.

Best High-School-Aged-Band
|
The Joysticks have been
voted the "Best High-School-Aged Band" by
InPittsburgh Magazine!!! Check out the article
regarding this prestigious title on the
InPGH
web site, or
our
local cut and pasted
copy. We must note,
however, a couple mistakes in the article, such
as the omitting of Joe, Agent Dr. Analysis, the
use of the old Joysticks band name, and the
wrong OOBS Records URL.

Best American Support Band
|
The Joysticks have been
declared as Solex's "Best American Support
Band". See it for yourself, as well as other
artists' Top 5's and 10's of 1998 on the
Matador
Records page (it's
down near the bottom, so scroll!).
