Concerning the Get Up Kids Show...
Due to our recent bout with bad luck, we will not be playing the December 10th show at Club Laga. Due to a miscommunication between the business folk, we've been bumped from the show. I apologize to our fans who bought tickets with the hopes of seeing us play. For those of you who did buy tickets off of us personally, we can refund your money up until the day of the show. Email us at punchlinebooking@hotmail.com and let us know. We're really sorry, this decision is out of our control.

Our show in Baltimore was cancelled. I apologize for the impressive number of recent cancellations. These things just happen I guess.

The upcoming yet to be titled EP will consist of 4 songs which we are currently being worked on. If you like Major Motion Picture, you will like the EP. Trust me on that one.

Thanks for reading... Steven

Punchline Recording Again?
Yes. We're recording again in January 2002 just because we have fun putting out our music. The EP will be out sometime in early March.

The December 4th show in Kent OH w/ My Hotel Year has been cancelled. There will be no Christmas this year. Just kidding.

I urge you all to buy your Get Up Kids/Punchline ticket off of the band.

Thanks for reading... Steven

More Thanks...
Wow. I don't know about you, but that was quite a show for me on Friday, October 12th at Club Laga. All summer we looked forward to coming home and playing Pittsburgh for the first time in a really long time. We couldn't have asked for more than the crowd and the crowd response we recieved on October 12th.

Thanks so much everyone.

Thanks...
Thanks to everyone who came out to the Re-Surgence Festival yesterday at the Post Gazzette Pavillion. It was extremely mind-blowing to play on the same stage that Britney Spears plays on. Even Elvis has graced his presence there. We had a really great time and enjoyed talking to the crowd all day.

The Street Team is progressing. There is now a Street Force section under force.

There is also a new Punchkid of the Month!. Well kind of...

There will be a new "band" section up soon. I just need to get the pictures off of Hooey.

The new Reviews are up also.

Don't forget... October 12th my friends...

Keep the Faith. -Steven

Hi Everybody ...

Tickets for the October 12th show at Club Laga are on sale now at www.ticketmaster.com or you can get them directly off of Punchline, A Week In July, and SF Firehydrant.

We are planning on sending some flyers and stickers out to the people who signed up for the street team and left all of their information. I apologize for the current lack of organization with the street team. Like Chris always says, "We'll get it togehter Steve, because if we don't, we won't have learned a thing".

The Fairweather show in Cleveland which we were originally scheduled to play does not include us on the bill anymore. Hence, we are not playing the show.

We're in the process of making some new T-Shirts and let me tell you, they are really, really, nice looking.

For those of you who don't know, Josh often updates our website. Josh has a slight drinking problem.

The "J" in PJ stands for "Jrape".

Thank you and Goodnite. -Steven

Its me again...

Major Motion Picture is out now!!! We will have information about ordering up soon, and we will have it in every town we play in for the rest of the tour...

Right now, we have many t-shirt designs, but we need more…so we decided to have ourselves a little contest. Anyone who can design an awesome t-shirt design for us that we decide to use, we will reward with a free copy of Major Motion Picture and a t shirt of choice. The design must not contain more than two colors, and it must be a relatively simple design. I know we have some very talented and creative fans, so I figured this would be perfect for if anyone has any free time to help us out. The design should be either in .bmp form or from Adobe Photoshop. Email all entries to punchlinebooking@hotmail.com.

To everyone who has emailed us in the past month since we have been gone…we will get back to you! Internet access has been few and far between on this tour so its really been hard. Same thing to anyone who has sent mail orders in…they will be sent out soon and your waiting will be rewarded.

We really need help with a show in Chicago for either July 27th or 28th…if anyone can help out, that would be great!!!

7.12.01
Hey Everyone...

Sorry I haven't been updating the page too much. Internet access is like gold on the road. So is showering, sleeping in a bed, and air conditioning. Just thought I'd let you know that. We're in San Diego right now and having a great time.

Please keep checking the page for new updates. "Major Motion Picture" will be out sometime next week.

Rock.

4.7.01
Hey Everyone. Here's some news...
Unfortunately, our show in Frostburg on the 8th is CANCELLED! We apologize for the short notice, seriously we are sorry. There was a miscommunication, so unfortunately, we will not be playing.

We're still finishing our upcoming album, but don't worry, we're in the final stages, so it will be out as soon as we possibly can get it to you. As always, check out the new mp3's at .

Thanks to everyone who came out to our last couple of shows. We've had a lot of fun and have tried to put on a good show for all of you.

We're are out of T-shirts right now... But we have hoodies. Don't worry, I'll put a picture up soon for everyone to see. I'm sure you are all worried (blatent sarcasm).

PJ said Paul is gay. I'm pretty sure its a rumor though, keep checking back on that one.

2.28.01
If you haven't already checked them out, our brand new Mp3's are up at www.mp3.com/thepunchline. Thank you so much to the thousands of people who have downloaded our songs in the past couple of days. Thanks to you we are number 3 in the punk charts on Mp3.com!! Please keep downloading! As always, we would greatly appreciate it also if you would tell your friends and people on your Buddy Lists and ICQ lists. You guys rock!

Also, check out our brand new Yahoo Club which was made by our good friend Andy. Thanks Buddy!

Leave us a message on our ugly meassage board.

2.26.01
The new Mp3's are up! Please check them out at www.mp3.com/thepunchline. We would greatly appreciate it also if you would tell your friends about us and families and pets and whoever else I am forgetting with access to a computer. Thanks!

Also, we have a new message board due to InsideTheWeb closing down. Leave us a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

2.17.01
Another year, another website. Things have changed a lot in the past few months, so I figured that it was about time to sit down and touch up the site.

We have finished recording our new album, Major Motion Picture, which we plan to have out by the end of April. The album consists of eight songs which we believe is better than anything we've ever created. There will be 2 mp3's from the new album up on mp3.com for your listening pleasure within the next week. Please download them, please make mix tapes, please tell your friends, please tell your family, please... What was I talking about again? Oh yeah, so after the civil war, General McArthur led his men to the "Indies" which is now known as present day "Peru". We will also be adding more songs from oour self-titled album on Mp3.com. Enjoy the site. Let me know if there are any problems, or if you have any ideas. I'm no Webpage Master, constructive criticism and advice is welcome. My door is always open.

And thanks to everyone who came to the show at Laga last nite. You guys rock.

Thanks,
Steve Punchline

 



This is the Punchkid of the month. His name is Billy and he is from Alaska. He is 14 years old and likes to "mosh" to "heavy" music. I don't really know what that means. I was just quoting one of the three letters he sends me a week. His favorite Punchline song is "Express", he claims that song is "simply grillin".
