One Third
After agonizing, soul-searching, what-have-you, we've reached a decision: Onion Flavored Rings can't play The Fest in Chattanooga next month. It saddens that simple economics forces us to miss a chance to play with so many of our friends at what is sure to be fun on a scale even grander than last year.
But perhaps we'll make our way to the region later in the summer or fall. And in the meantime, Paul's other band Surrender is headed out on tour soon, and his old band Go Sailor has some shows planned in parts east.
And one third of OFR will be at The Fest for sure: Erick's in several bands slated to play over that weekend. In fact, there's so much going on, no one's going to miss li'l ol' OFR anyway.

The Fest in Chattanooga
Not much to say about it yet. We're going to try to be there, but no promises.

MRR Review of "Funny"
There's a nice review of our last record Funny in issue #320 (January 2010) of MAXIMUMROCKNROLL:
I've always been really impressed by ONION FLAVORED RINGS' vocal melodies. With the simple rhythms of Steve and Paul's stringed partnership and Erick's sharp drumming, the songs are super sing-songy, almost like nursery rhymes, which creates an incredibly satisfying listening experience. Funny is just another excellent presentation from this Bay Area pop-punk outfit that met in Amsterdam in 1972 at the squat that the RFA fled to at the peak of their infamy. Which is also funny.
No, we don't understand the penultimate sentence either.
