Hey everybody! Anthony here with a blog update not being sent from my phone (featuring 5% less typos!).
So I'm sitting here avoiding homework and watching the world series and it got me thinking: are Dodger fans boycotting the oranges and blacks of Halloween because they would be wearing Giants colors?
Anyway, something more HP2 related:
I couldn't let Tyler be the only one getting into the Holiday spirit and bringing out his inner nerd! So here's a sweet promo for the show!
My apologies for biting Lindsey's "Stay Classy" but I really wanted you all to stay classy!
So, that's it and that's all folks
-Tony Grizz.
P.S. Buy Tickets Here!

SPECIAL COVER SONG ANNOUNCED!
I know the anticipation has been building for a while, but I'm glad to finally announce our special "Halloween" cover!
"Dragula" by our favorite band from the Great White North: (no, not rush) Black Coffee!
If you're wondering what all of this excitement is from, you must have been living under a rock and completely oblivious of our Facebook feed. I took a DJ gig on Pandora and ended up like this:
And finally, I gave Curtis a grueling interview on all things drums, mole people, and "death metal." Country Dave also mentions his diminishing role in the recording process.
That's it for my video recap. We'll have additional rhythm section recording interviews and some footage from the Halloween, but if you can make it out be sure to come. We have a very cohesive costume theme that we're all excited so make sure to see it in person!

Checkin' in from the East Coast
Hi friends :)
I'm writing you from my sister's house in Philly! I've been having an East Coast adventure since last Tuesday. I spent a few days in New Hampshire visiting friends I made when I lived out there, spent a night in Boston, played in New York for a day, and got into Philly last night.
The fall colors here are AMAZING! I wish I could bring them home with me. I will miss playing in piles of leaves like a 5 year old when I get back to CA.

I'm definitely going to miss all of the amazing food out here too like the German food in NH, Carnegie Deli cheesecake, and apple dumplings from Philly. I think eating is my favorite form of entertainment while on vacation, haha.
I've loved my time out here, but I can't wait to get home and play the SKALLOWEEN show at The Vault. Our costumes are pretty much amazing. I've just got a couple more finishing touches to put on mine before it's ready to rock. I don't think I've been this excited about dressing up in costume since I was a kid. I'm thinking about bringing a bowl of candy to put out by our merch so if you come say hello I may give you a trick or treat, most likely a treat though because I don't have many tricks up my sleeve.
As Tony Grizz mentioned, we are indeed revealing a very special cover at the show, but it's the one and only time we'll be playing it so make sure you're there! You'll be bummed if you miss it. A little reminder to any of those who have to travel a bit to get to Temecula, make sure you leave early enough to avoid traffic so you don't miss any of the bands.
Well I think that about does it for my blog. I'm going to head out to Rittenhouse Square (a park in the middle of the city) and work on writing some lyrics for new songs. I'll see all of you on FRIDAY! Can't wait to see your goofy costumes :D
thanks for stopping by,
Lindsey

The Headphones are Working!
1Hey everyone! This is Anthony with your monthly (I'm trying to be more accurate than weekly) update!
Today Half Past Two is recording! What are we recording you ask? New material? A new album? No! We're recording a cover song! It's for a compilation on Animal Style Records due out New Years Eve! We're unveiling this cover for ONE NIGHT ONLY this Friday at the Vault in Temecula where we'll be sharing the stage with Voodoo Glow Skulls, Chase Long Beach and more! So make sure to come out in costume and join in on the party!
So, back on the recording day! Tyler Moore, Dave, Curtis, and myself are all laying down the milky goodness that is the rhythm while Lindsey and the Doc are out of town. We'll have video soon of the whole process along with the incredible slow moving man!
Anyway guys, I have to jet so we can get this thing started. Stay classy and eat abba-zabbas to slow life down a bit.
Stay classy,
Tony Grizz

Country Dave Speech Bubble Contest Results
Good news! EVERYONE IS A WINNER!
We had a contest on our facebook earlier this week to caption Country Dave at The Grove in Anaheim.
Congratulations to all the participants and while Country Dave was a little too busy (important) to reply to all of you, he had me acquire highly authentic forgeries of his autograph accompanied by personalized notes. Enjoy!
