t’s spring 2004, and the Mae Shi have just learned (via an Instant Message chat with KRS/5RC founder Slim Moon) that their debut full-length Terrorbird will be released on 5RC that summer. To celebrate, the band embarks on a new project – the DVD that would become Lock The Skull, Load The Gun. They ask every visually-minded friend they’ve made in the past decade to direct a video.

There were 33 tracks on Terrorbird and there are 32 videos collected here.

Also included is The Celebration Tour, the feature-length tour movie documenting the Mae Shi’s first U.S. tour, when the band booked a 31-date tour by publicly offering to play any celebratory event—be it a birthday party, wedding or bar mitvah—for $100...It’s got everything your average tour documentary has – wide open roads, empty bars, dishonest promoters and drunken hijinx—but with the added bonus of animated flying monsters, firework accidents and a laugh track.

And so we are looking for a new singer for the band. We're not looking for someone to replace Ezra -- we're looking for someone that can add his or her own thing and help us move in a new direction. Someone who is interested in songwriting, particularly writing lyrics and melodies and taking songs we've recorded and helping us "organize" them.
