Soon my friends… soon.

We’ve been getting quite a few emails recently querying as to just what the hell is going on with our new sunglasses. These are fair questions, sirs and madams. Allow me to try and address this unfortunate business. When our shipment of glasses arrived it came minus one crucial piece of paper work; the paperwork that promises our glasses are not in fact made from reconstituted dragon scales and that we just say that to be funny. Or do we? Regardless, the powers who would keep anything made from any part of a dragon (or mermaid… or really anything that “isn’t real”) away from you decided to put a hold on us distributing our sick new glasses. We swore up and down that we were just joshing about the glasses containing “60% magic, 35% dragon face, and 17% mantis-dance” but we were met with cruel scowls…

With that being said, an enormous amount of our sunglasses are being held prisoner and there’s no way for us to get to them right now. As far as we know they’re being tested over and over again to make sure they do not contain any of the “Smurfs’ Dark Magiks”. I don’t even know what that means but that’s what the cute-sounding girl on the phone told me when I called to see what the score was (thanks for standing me up at Chuck E. Cheese by the way. WTF?!). So that’s where we stand with the glasses kids. They’re currently in limbo. For those of you who’ve all ready placed orders and are waiting on your glasses we apologize profusely. As soon as the glasses get released from the dungeons they’ll be on the way to your doorstep. As for those of you who are chomping at the bit to order a pair, they’ll be available about 39 seconds after they come through our office doors. Until then just try and avoid getting any Sun in your eyes. Maybe paint over them? I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.

For some reason, these guys refuse to sing any Queensryche… regardless of how many times you ask/beg.

Magooooooo! What up fools? Just checking in from the road. The KKBB crew is currently posted up in a hotel just outside of Boston, eagerly awaiting the date in Mansfield, MA tomorrow. So far tour this year has been most excellent. We managed to survive the heat of the southwest, the damnable hurricane in Texas, and a McDonald’s in Indiana. The latter by the skin of our somehow-sunburned teeth. We totes aren’t loving it.

Anywho, all the kiddies that are hitting up our tent this year seem to be pretty into our zombie survival gear. We’ve met a ton of cool cats so far and we’re steadily growing our legion of Facebook homies. We also started running our “Queen of the Sextropolis” raffle. Once again, like last year, we got a late start on the raffle-runnings but that ish is up and running now. Sorry the first few dates, we suck at buying raffle tickets in a timely fashion. Your hair looks nice today though. Keep it up…

The first day we ran the raffle was in St. Louis and we laid the crown upon the brow of Sara Bormann. Sara is a Virgo and her color of choice is pink. A gnarly little tidbit you ask? Well, apparently one time she got wasted and made sexes with a dude with one leg. You truly are an American Hero Sara.

Sara. She’s a giver. We applaud you.

Next up on the Sextropolis train is Kira Reed from Indianapolis. Kira too is a Virgo but unlike Sara favors the color yellow over pink. I’m with you Kira. What excellence had she been up to previous to her Warped outing? She dumped a bucket of cold water on one of her friends whilst said friend was showering. A merry prankster this Kira be. Merry indeed…

Not pictured: Bucket of water.

We ventured to Burgettstown, PA just outside of Pittsburgh. We ran a raffle and, you know, I feel like someone won but due to some technical difficulties on our side (we lost a ton of data, boo) I don’t know who it was. We’ve got a video coming soon of the winner adamantly screaming “Woooo!” and some other peoples clapping. So, you know, we’ll put that up soon and there will be at least some success…

Cleveland came next. Hanna Castle of Bucyrus took home the cheese that day. Hanna is a Leo and digs on the color purple. You and Prince, Hanna. You and Prince. Hanna likes to get a little tipsy and log onto Chatroulette. What does she do there? She makes faces. At dudes who show her their peeps. We’re all in debt to you Hanna. And dudes, stop showing your dicks on Chatroulette. We’re lacking a picture of Hanna (see above) but we love her all the same.

The last date we have to speak of is Hartford, CT. Kathy Bartholomew’s ticket got pulled that day and therefore won all the success we had to offer. Kathy is a Taurus and is into lime green. I like the specificity of that. Kathy once had sex with her best friend for some weed and never actually got the weed. Boned. You see what I did there?! Again, no pic. Sorry lady. We technology fail.

Last but not least we want to mention a little something extra we’re going to be doing on the road this year. Starting July 15th in Scranton, PA KKBB will be introducing the Foxden! The Foxden is a traveling boutique featuring Obey, American Apparel, Ambiguous, Heavy Rotation, Gentle Fawn, and friggin’ KKBB of course! We’re going to have a bunch of other accessories and assorted sweetness available. You can even cop yourself a fox tail! Make sure to come through and check it out! That’s all for now n00bs. Check back with us soon for more tour shenanigans!

Go to here.

Blaow! It’s my favorite time of year! Or, is it my least favorite? I DON’T KNOW! I’M SO EFFING DIRTY! That’s right, KKBB hath hit the road again on the Van’s Warped Tour. I’m writing this post from the 2nd bench of the KKBBmobile (a.k.a. my bed) in Mountain View, CA. Today is day 2 of the tour and so far we’re having a blast. We made it across the country with minimal hiccups and hit the ground running yesterday in Carson, CA. LET’S EFFING DO THIS AMERICA!

Since we’re so pumped to be back out on the road we thought we’d do something sweet for you guys. We decided that at the end of Warped Tour this year we’re going to randomly select 10 people from our Facebook fans to give a free shirt to! I know right?! It’s friggin’ AWESOME! So if for some ridiculous reason you haven’t all ready liked us on Facebook get your ass over there and do it! Unless you don’t like free sh*t then never-the-hell-mind…

Anyway nerds, that’s all for now. We’ll definitely be checking in periodically from the road and dropping our stories of success/tragedy all over the interspaces. ‘Til then…

call 585.678.1801 for a good time

Yup.

As most of you probably know, the KKBB crew is about to hit the road again on the Vans Warped Tour. Another stellar year of living in a van, occasionally showering and almost always smelling like straight up feet. We totes live the dream. What you may not know is that we are throwing a HUGE party this Sunday to see us off! It promises to be quite the blow out.

DJ Ease and DJ Annalyze are going to come through and spin tracks while everyone gets their drink on! Ladies drink for free and it’s only $5 a cup if you come with a penis. Oh yea, our homeboy Mikey Jones is going to be there giving out $40 Howlin’ Wolf tattoos. Mikey’s got mad skills and you’d be a fool not to have a gnarly wolf on your person somewhere.

Where is this bonanza going down? I CAN’T F*CKIN’ TELL YOU! Not yet anyway. You’re going to have to check back here on Sunday. Hit up the Facebook event page and attend that ish. We’re going to post a phone number you can call and get directions. Then, the shenanigans will begin. Oh yes, there will be shenanigans…

Are you into Joywave? Do you live in Rochester? Do you have thumbs to make taking pictures possible? If you answered yes to at least 2 of these queries then you are in luck! Our friends in Joywave have a show this Friday and we have some tickets to give away! FOR FREESIES! All you’ve got to do is take a picture of a beer rocking sunglasses (see above success) and post it up on ye ole KKBB Facebook. It’s so damn easy you’d be a total jerk not to do it. And you don’t want to be a jerk, do you? I knew it! There’s hope for you yet my friend. Make with the digipixels, post your triumph on the Facebook and we’ll see you Friday! KKBBeer!

As some of you may know, for the past few weeks KKBB and some of our esteemed cohorts have been sponsoring DJ Roulette at Dragonfly on Park Ave. Sunday nights brought about a super swingin’ time with jams being kicked out by the masters of the funkdrome and drinks flowing by the kiloliter. It’s been wildly awesome and we managed to raise some ducats for the Roc City Skatepark. Basically just an extreme success all around. Hopefully you made it out to one of them and had as great of a time as we did.

But like all good things, DJ Roulette has come to an end. KKBB will be hitting the road in just over a week to once again traverse our great nation on the Vans Warped Tour and we’re going to be busy as eff between now and then. Plus, my PKE Meter was spiking something fierce at the last DJ Roulette and frankly ectoplasm is way gross. It looks awesome but you shouldn’t touch it (trust me). Dragonfly will still be the best place to spend your Sunday nights, with or without rampant ghosts, so make sure to get your ass back there!

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped put it together and everyone who came out to shake what His Noodley Master gave ‘em. DJ Annalyze and DJ Ease saw us off with a dope set Sunday and it couldn’t have ended any better. Big ups everybody and good luck to the Roc City Skate crew!

You better be there!

Yoooooo! KKBB is celebrating the release of our fly new gear with an epic shindig at Thread! This Saturday June 5th, get your sexy self down to 654 South Ave any time between 6-9pm to enjoy the festivities. The KKBB crew will be there representing the best we can and doling out high fives in an extremely willy-nilly fashion! If I have anything to do with it it’s going to rule something fierce! After we’ve sufficiently blown up Thread’s spot we’ll be retiring to Lux Lounge just down the street to continue our rampant shenaniganery. Yea I make up words! DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I’ll be the handsome gentleman at Thread with the glorious hair… BE THERE FOOLS!

As you may have gleamed from the title of this post, our friends Amber Pacific are hitting the road in a big way this summer. If you swung by the tent at Bamboozle and snagged this year’s Disco Zombie Dance Party of Doom comp then you’ve probably all ready been rocking out to Amber Pacific. Props to you! We’re happy to inform you that this gnarly tour also features yet another band from our sexy comp, City Lights! Make sure to get your ass out to see these guys because it’s surely going to rule all. We posted the dates below for you guys to scope out but before getting to that allow me to drop an Amber Pacific knowledge bomb on you…

Amber Pacific has over 150,000 records sold and coinciding headline performances on the Vans Warped Tour for four years in a row as well as the 2006 Take Action Tour. Amber Pacific is back with a brand new album entitled Virtues. The band has directly supported Paramore, Hawthorne Heights, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Sum 41 and Yellowcard on full routes.

20 dates with Runner Runner (Capitol Records) are confirmed from 5/20 through 6/11/10 and a full 38 date US run presented by Ernie Ball and Glamour Kills Clothing is confirmed from 6/24 through 7/31/2010 which hits all major markets.

Awesome right?! I KNOW! KKBB will be happy to treat your ears to Amber Pacific and City Lights, as well as a bunch of other sweet bands, if you come grab some of our gear on the Vans Warped Tour this year. You see, that is the only way to get your hands on the Disco Zombie Dance Party of Doom 2010 edition and you don’t want to miss out! Show some love to Amber Pacific and City Lights!

Foxes… the lot of ‘em.

Well kids, you’ve been waiting patiently for the new gear to arrive and I’m happy to report that it’s GOING DOWN TONIGHT! At midnight tonight new booty shorts and hoodies will be up in the online store and totally available for your purchasing thereof. So, you know, friggin’ do that! We were going to release the new sunglasses tonight as well but when we got together to do the photo shoot for the glasses we just ended up drinking Absinthe and drawing pictures of raptors riding tricycles. Our bedroom doors look super tight now but we don’t have any pics to show off the glasses right now. Very soon though! We totally promise.

Anyway, throw together a super pimp KKBB ensemble and you’ll be sure to make anyone with eyes insanely jealous of your sick threads. It may even work on the blind as our gear smells like magic. Don’t believe me? Buy something and drift away on the scent of unicorn-dragons. (?) Then, when we get the sunglasses in the store you can cop a pair of those to protect your eyes from the glare and inherent splash-back of Hateraid. F*ck Yea!

Sexy and righteous… like Molly from “Neuromancer”.

KKBB has teamed up with EvenOdd to bring you guys some sick bag designs! EvenOdd specializes in making gnarly bags from recycled material. Each one is hand made and totally one of a kind. Funk your assembly line bags that have been “distressed” by machines! The KKBB/EvenOdd bags have been put together from retired KKBB banners, seat belts, and used bike inner tubes. This extremely limited run of bags is only going to be available at the KKBB tent on Warped Tour so check the dates and get your ass there if you want one! We know you do…

For more info on our newest collabo check out the details on the EvenOdd site. Be sure to like their Facebook page too. Much more awesomeness coming from these cats in the future!

Queens of Win: Bamboozle 2010

So, yea. I’m a little late getting this post up. It’s just part of the deal when you excel at slacking. Good job me! But enough about how sweet I am. You know what else was sweet? Bamboozle in New Jersey! Holy crap, how sweet it was. The 2-day festivus maximus turned into one hell of a gnarly time. We got to hang out, meet tons of stellar people, and take in some sick sets. Drake, Deer Hunter, 3Oh!3, and MGMT, among others, were highlights for us. Ish was tight! A ton of the acts were fighting to get their hands on our gear and we were happy to oblige! We love you loving us. High five ‘boozle… New Jersey never won so hard (except for Bruce Springsteen).

Speaking of winning, we ran our Queen of the Sextropolis raffle whilst at Bamboozle and were happy to lay the crown upon the brows of Pamela Vergaro of Astoria, NY and Stephanie Lopez from Far Rockaway. Pamela loves anime and video games and Stephanie can whistle! Hooray! Congratulations ladies. You’re internet famous!

All in all it was a most excellent time. Big ups to everyone who came by the tent and showed us some love. The new gear was a smash and kids were nabbing gear left and right, sideways and slantways, like that crazy Wonkavator. The new booty shorts were of particular interest to the wise consumers of Jersey. Check ‘em out, along with new hoodies and Sunny Shades in our online store starting June 1st!
