OK, we know it's been a while since you've heard something come down from SOS HQ, so without any further ado, here goes the latest batch of scrumptious SOS news nuggets.

Right off the bat, SOS are proud (and relieved, but mainly proud) to announce the official RELAUNCHING of the SOS website, emblazoned with a design that takes SOS to the 21st Century and beyond! Mad thanks to Mr. Jeff Schram for going above and beyond the call of duty to get this sucker up and running! The address stays the same http://www.SOSNYC.COM, so mosey on down and click away. Yes, they know that they're not out of the woods yet and there's a lot of content to be put on still, but hey, it sure beats the old look, right? And peep the new media player where you can access all of the SOS CDs in chronological order. Pretty nifty, eh? Check back for reminders and updates regarding our latest and greatest technological breakthrough!

Now, as for shows....ah, autumn, the kind season when the air becomes crisp, the leaves turn colors, the World Series occurs. Y'know what autumn means to SOS? THE NYC MARATHON, baby! Yes, roadrunning fans and competitors, SOS once again is honored to make its infernal racket as part of the NYC Marathon...but first....

Ah, back in their backyard. Unfortunately, due to Travis' recurring role as The Great Pumpkin at the annual Serious Business Halloween Soiree, he won't be bashing the skins for SOS this particular evening. So, pinch hitting for Travis Harrison, Francis Lewis Varsity batting record holder (.522 people), current Dead By Choice and former SOS drummer extraordinaire himself, John "insert nickname here" Galligan. Yup, this and more...like a set by Dead By Choice too, as well as a tentative surprise act to end the evening off right. It's always 5 'o clock somewhere, and there's a sneaking suspicion that, like the movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray, that it's gonna be happy hour for an extended period of time on Oct 27th.

After the band licks their wounds, cleanse their livers, and rub the perennial glitter dust, facepaint, and crust from their eyes, it'll be that time again, friends.
