4/25/09 Virginia Brewing Company Winchester, VA According to Moonalice legend, today is World Malaria Day. In the spirit of the day, we went down to WalMart to buy you all some malaria, but they were out of stock. Maybe next time. According to Wikipedia, this area was occupied by native tribes beginning around 1000 AD. Wikipedia talks about the Cacapon, Opequon, Shawnee and Tuscarora, but they make no mention of the Moonalice tribe. This is a gross oversight. According to Moonalice legend, the tribe first came here during BC to AD changeover. They established a farm dedicated to production of hemp and calendars. Hemp was, well, you know, hemp. But AD calendars were a brand new thing, and the tribe tried to cash in. Unfortunately, the tribe was way too early. The first Europeans didn’t arrive until the early 18th century, by which time the Moonalice tribe had forgotten where they put all the calendars. According to Moonalice legend, the Shenandoah Valley was the breadbasket of the Confederacy during the War of Northern Aggression. It was home to the 420 Moonalice Agriculture Regiment, which provided hemp to the Confederate army. The Valley was also home to the 420 Moonalice Signal Brigade of Northern Virginia. This Brigade specialized in smoke signals and had a very rough duty during the war. For four long years, they puffed away like chimneys, which made them more lethargic than was the standard for Confederate soldiers. Given how many times Winchester was overrun by Yankee soldiers, lethargy could have been a real problem. Fortunately, the Yankee troops doing the overrunning were the 420 Moonalice Supply Corps of New Hampshire – the Hemp Pickers. When the war began, the Pickers made a deal with their Virginia counterparts to trade Winchester back and forth to make everybody look good to their boss. According to Moonalice legend, the first fort on this site was built in 1756 by Colonel George Washington. The one who chopped down the cherry tree. Also the one who may have been colonial Virginia’s greatest cultivator of hemp. Word has it that he left a really big stash here. According to Moonalice legend, Winchester native Patsy Cline was a Moonalice on her mother’s side. Denied the opportunity to play bass – she turned to singing. Fortunately, tribal rituals had given Patsy enormous lung power.

Moonalice Live at River Street Jazz Cafe 04-29-09

Here is another great show this one comes from a cool club in Pa and it the band seems to enjoy themselves and gives us a great show with an equally radical set-list hope you enjoy this as much as i did. remember all these great shows that i post comes from Tim Stiegler (The worlds best sound-man)and the band itself please visit their website www.moonalice.com and thank them

4/29/09 River Street Jazz Cafe Plains, PA According to Wikipedia, the original native tribes in this area were the Shawanese and the Delaware. What gives? No mention of the Moonalice tribe? The Moonalice legend is very specific on this point. The tribe has been here since dinosaurs roamed the earth. Yes, indeed. According to Moonalice legend, the tribe in those days showed far more initiative than it does now. They had two occupations, funeral homes and farming, and their hard work in those areas made our way of life possible. You see, the Moonalice undertakers buried dinosaurs while the farmers farmed dinosaur poop. The carcasses eventually turned into petroleum, while the poop turned into coal. So what I’m saying is that the tribe is responsible for global warming. Go figure. According to Moonalice legend, Wilkes-Barre was a major stop on the Underground Railroad. The station master in those days was N. Phineas Moonalice, who didn’t realize that the Underground Railroad had a timetable and expected him to keep the trains on time. Phineas thought his job was to wear a uniform with a nice hat and provide fresh doobies to passengers exiting the railroad at Wilkes-Barre. Management of the Underground Railroad as about to come down hard on Phineas when they discovered that his doobies were doing wonders for sales. Slaves throughout the south considered the alternatives – slavery or doobie – and without exception they chose the Underground Railroad to Wilkes-Barre. Wikipedia claims that the first customers for cable programming got HBO in 1972 in Wilkes-Barre. Apparently they don’t count Moonalice’s pioneering contribution to pay cable – a 1968 live broadcast of the first 4/20 smokeout in Tokalot County. One explanation for the oversight may have been the failure of that broadcast. The entire Moonalice Television Network team passed out just before show time and viewers saw nothing but a test pattern. For reasons to no one can explain, the tv audience thought the test pattern was fantastic, causing the Moonalice Television Network to rebroadcast it every year since then. According to Moonalice legend, Wilkes-Barre is the birthplace of Mister Peanut. The tribe believes in mascots – we travel with a bunch of them – but Mister Peanut is special. It’s not just the top hat and monacle. It’s the fact that Mister Peanut doesn’t wear pants. For a guy with nuts in his name, that is very brave. According to Moonalice legend, today is the first anniversary of the death of Dr. Albert Hoffman, the inventor of LSD. Dr. Hoffman invented LSD when he was 37 and then lived to be 102. Coincidence? We think not!!!

Moonalice Live At The IOTA Club 04-27-09

4/27/09

IOTA Club & Cafe

Arlington, VA

According to Wikipedia, Arlington was home to George Washington Custis, his daughter Mary, and his son-in-law, Robert E. Lee. Wikipedia says that Custis was a “far sighted agricultural pioneer.” He was also the step grandson of the legendary hemp farmer, George Washington. Putting two and two together, we consulted the Moonalice legend. To no one’s surprise, the legend reveals that the Custis-Lee plantation rivaled Mount Vernon in terms of hemp production. If you find that hard to believe, go to the cemetery and imagine that every gravestone is a hemp plant. If that doesn’t work, light up your favorite herbal remedy and try again.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 199th birthday of Beethoven’s composition “Fur Elise.” It turns out that Elise was not even remotely furry, but she was all Moonalice. She had a very green thumb. Apparently her agricultural prowess contributed to Beethoven’s creativity. God knows it has been indispensible to generations of parents forced through their children’s endless performances of Fur Elise.

According to Moonalice legend, today is the 250th birthday of Mary Wolstencraft, a Moonalice matriarch who wrote books and practically invented feminism. She was the mother of Mary Shelley, the woman who wrote Frankenstein.

According to Moonalice legend, Arlington County used to be run by the Moonalice tribe. How do we know? Wikipedia says the county misplaced a town in 1930. Who but the Moonalice tribe could lose a whole town? Apparently, the locals got really buzzed and forgot where they put Potomac, which soon became known as the lost town of Virginia. Fortunately, Potomac was eventually rediscovered by the National Register of Historic Places. Apparently they are keeping a really close eye on the place to make sure it doesn’t disappear again.

Today is also the birthday of Ulysses S. Grant, Coretta Scott King, Jim Keltner, and Frank Abignale, Jr. In South Africa, today is both Freedom Day and Unfreedom Day. Very Discordian.

According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, Arlington is the best city in America for walking. According to Moonalice legend, it is also a fine city for the consumption of tribal herbal entertainment.

According to Moonalice legend, Arlington used to be part of the District of Columbia. In the first half of the 19th century, the district had two counties, the southern of which was Arlington. After nearly fifty years as part of the District, residents of Arlington petitioned Congress to rejoin Virginia. Wikipedia says the locals wanted to preserve slavery. The Moonalice legend has the real story. In those days, Arlington harbor was very active in all manner of trade. It was a particularly big player in the hemp trade. The locals anticipated that Congress would eventually get really weird about hemp and decided to hitch their wagon to Virginia.

Live At Kaplan's Barn Millerton NY October 17,2009

ok sorry it's been a while but here is the first of what i hope is 2 surprises for tribe members from Me........

10/17/09
Kaplan's Barn

Millerton, NY

According to Moonalice legend, Millerton, NY is located in Duchess County. That may not seem like a big deal to you, but Dutchess County once employed G. Gordon Liddy as an assistant district attorney. Liddy spent a large part of the 60s trying to put Timothy Leary in jail. In the end, Liddy went to jail for his role in Watergate. Why doesn’t that kind of thing happen any more?

According to Moonalice legend, October 17 was a HUGE day during the American Revolution. On this day in 1777, the home team won the Battle of Saratoga. In 1781, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown. In addition to October 17, these events share one other common factor: both battles were catered by Moonalice 420 Barbecue. Moonalice 420 practically invented barbecue. Their popularity was due to the fact that they smoked everything: meats, poultry and hemp. Why doesn’t that kind of thing happen any more?

According to Moonalice legend, October 17 is Eggplant Day. Fortunately for us, it’s only celebrated in France. On a more positive note, today is the birthday of William Anders, one of the 24 astronauts who made the journey from the Earth to our tribe's home planet. Happy Birthday Bill!

BREAKING MOONALICE NEWS

ok so this news is a bit sad.... but hearing the bands tapes from The Jewish Mother show the band is taking a step forward...this was posted at the Moonalice forum at http://msgboard.moonaliceband.com/topic/ge?replies=11......and heres what was posted....

Here's the deal . . .

GE is no longer with us. I don't know if this is a short term thing or a long term thing. The choice was ours. The first straw was GE's decision not to play the Virginia Beach gig. The conversations that followed led the rest of us to conclude that we needed to move forward on our own. Perhaps this is what bands mean when they talk about "musical differences."

GE is our dear friend and we wish him well. Who knows what the future will bring relative to GE, but relative to Moonalice you can expect the band to be hyper energized. The gig in Virginia Beach blew our minds. The gig on Saturday night in San Francisco was magical. The upcoming gigs should bring more of the same.

We recognize that change is not always easy for fans, but we ask you to give us the benefit of the doubt. We are on a mission here and this change positions us to really go for it.

Take care,

Chubby

11/02/07

Inter-Media Arts Center

Huntington, NY

Other acts: Taylor Barton opens

According to Moonalice legend, the great patriot George Washington was a member of the tribe. Everyone knows he was a Mason and our first president, but his role in the Moonalice legend has been obscured by the passage of time. It turns out that after chopping down the cherry tree and not lying about it, George was sent off to spend some time with the Moonalice tribe in Northern Virginia. They taught him how to be a farmer – a hippie, if you will – and George went on to a distinguished career as a plantation owner. Contrary to popular wisdom, the Washington plantation was devoted the cultivation of America’s most important indigenous crop, hemp. Given the critical nature of hemp in the economy of the period, it was natural that a hippie such as Washington would be put in charge of first the army and then the country as a whole. While people were less uptight in those days than they are today, they nonetheless used a code to let the general know when they were in need of additional hemp products. The code, which is still in use today, was brilliant in its simplicity. If you needed supplies, you put up a sign that said, “George Washington slept here.” Judging by the signs around Huntington, demand for hemp products appears to be very strong.
