The Hamburglar


I just got back from tour. We played some good shows, some drunk sloppy shows, and some goddam righteous shows. Stay tuned for pictures.

We also now have a Kegs of Acid website, www.kegsofacid.com.
We have finished mastering our first album, titled "This is the First Kegs of Acid Album". Expect more on that soon.
We also just got test pressings of our first 7" split with Prince Rama of Ayodhya, called "The Dream Team"

I was sad to see it all end, but I'm glad to be back on a somewhat regular schedule and go to bed before 4 in the morning. I learned alot, though. Let me lay some knowledge on you that I was able to discover while out on the road.

1. The Hamburglar has supernatural powers on par with a god. The Hamburglar came down from heaven on the back of a crystal dolphin with R2-D2 riding behind him and landed in Jamaica where they are building a community of dedicated followers.
2. The Hamburglar invented weed.
3. The Hamburglar is jealous god and demands sacrifice and adoration.
4. Ronald McDonald is an evil underworld lord and the hamburgers which the Hamburglar tries to steal represent secret knowledge that Ronald lords over humanity. These "hamburgers" include the secrets of time travel and communication with women.
