Under New Management

Friends, friends of friends, and people who are not our friends. We have a big announcement to make. We just hired Phillip McCavity as our official manager. He's listed in our top friends list and from now on will be handling all booking and coordinating for us. We're excited to have him aboard because he's the shit and now we can focus on the MUSIC and not the trivial details of a running a band, like booking shows, making sure that there are no brown M&M's in the backstage area, working out the merchandising..travel arrangements, and stuff like that. He's got the experience and the connections to help us develop as artists. Literally his words over a pitcher of beer and a platter of hot wings at Hooters earlier today. Good times. More to follow. He's now our official fourth member and his pimp hand is strong so watch out. Stop by Phil's profile and add him as your friend. He's really a great guy. Ask him about the mud shark incident in Memphis when he lost his 72 StingRay to Keith Richards in a poker game. Classic story, but I won't spoint it for you, you'll have to ask him about the details. -On Switch

Why we're called On Switch
DATE: 07/27/2009 10:29:16 / MOOD: other

Often asked why we're called On Switch.  Of all the possible names why that one?
Is it because we when we enter the room we light it up like when someone turns the lights on?  Nope, that actually has never ever happened.  In fact it goes directly against the principles we were taught in ninja training.  We try to enter every room in stealth mode, undetected and under the cover of darkness.
Is it because we're always in non stop fly by the seat of your pants live fast and die young party mode?  The answer is no.  Sometimes we go minutes, even hours without without being in party mode.  
Is it because we have an uncanny mastery over the properties of electrical magnetism and are able to control the electrical current between two conductors.  Nope.  We can only claim to have a mild working knowledge of anything like that if any at all.
So why are we called On Switch.  Why not Dragon Bone or Ferocious Orangutang?  Or something really macho like Spunk Shaft?  
The answer is the same reason we don't write songs that are played in strip clubs, have full sleeve tatoos (boob jobs for dudes), look like a walking ad for Hot Topic, and don't go around starting fights over bullshit.  It's a simple but understated name, which can mean many different things but is never cheesy or lame.  It's a classy name for a classy band.
Plus it happened to be what was written on the piece of paper we pulled out of the hat.  That's right, came that close to being called Spunk Shaft.
