Meet The Peenbeets, America's newest pop sensation. Mixing the bop happy melodies of Herman's Hermits with the intellectualism and spirituality of the Dead Milkmen, The Peenbeets are taking America by storm. Why? Because they represent everything we want in a band: Smiles, good old fashioned fashion, a positive vibe, danceable songs, great looks, and a secret abuse of illegal substances.

Greetings, dear Peeners! On behalf of Starco, General Structures and the band, I apologize for not updating this column more often. In addition to managing publicity for the Peenbeets, I've also been working on returning the infamous "Miami Relatives" to our nation's airwaves via public affairs programs, pie-throwing contests and a pending guest shot on VH-1's "The List." But I digress... The Peenbeets' front has been a hotbed of activity in the past few months. May saw Chepo's birthday celebrated in the form of a "TV Theme Hoot Nite" hosted by the band at Austin's Hole in the Wall. Participating bands included the Media Kreeps, Brown Whornet, the Wontons and the Sexy Finger Champs. Chepo accidentally had a "few too many" and suffered third degree burns when he shoved his face into a lit birthday cake. Fortunately, a phalanx of Shriners rushed to the scene and treated his injuries in the men's room, leaving Chepo no worse for the wear. Thanks, Shriners! Proceeds from the show benefitted the SIMS Foundation, a group providing mental health services for Austin musicians. The band returned to the studio in late July to begin recording the follow-up to their smash debut, "The Peenbeets Get Beet Up!," which has just been certified "balsa" by the Recording Industry Association of America. The sophomore effort (working title: "Number Two") is being recorded at Austin's Bubble studio with former Sixteen Deluxe guitarist Chris "Frenchie" Smith helming the board. They expect the album to be completed sometime before man lands on Mars. Well-known motivational speaker Mr. Positive continues to drum for the Peenbeets as Joel Fried pursues his acting career. Fried escorted Britney Spears to the HONCHO MENS CHOICE AWARDS, where he was nominated for CUTEST ASS IN A DRAMATIC TELEVISION FILM for "That She Blows." Fried recently sent the band a first-hand account of his Hollywood experiences and we expect to have that account posted to this site soon! Although the band is currently very busy filming new episodes for the fall season, they have managed to play outside of Austin several times in recent months. March saw the boys hit Norman, Oklahoma with the gals in Same Day Service. The band played Dallas in July with Chomsky, and a show is scheduled for August 19 in Houston with the Oilers at Rudyard's. We hope to see the H- Town Posse in full effect that night. And let's not forget the band's 8/18 show at Room 710 in Austin with the Spiders and the Bandinis. Several fall Peenbeet events are currently being planned, but we'll have to keep the lid on details for now since blabbing would surely undercut General Structures' cutthroat business savvy. Be sure to check back often for all the latest information on sitcom rock's hottest property - THE PEENBEETS!

Peace out,
Nelson Phuckett,
Director of Publicity
