Hey folks.  Looking for some summertime fun?  We recommend the "Balconies" cave adventure at Pinnacles.  Here's a pic of the HIJK crew celebrating Nobi's 1st birthday in a sweet cave (Photo by Valerie Woo).  If you forgot your headlamp, no worries, head on over to SF's Cafe Du Nord for our lively indie show with Generationals and Gardens & Villa 7/15.  We'll showcase some of the new songs we've been crafting, get sweaty, and probably drink a few cold beers.  This will be a special show with some talented touring bands so stroll on down! 

Friday, July 15 :: 8:30pm

"Just Like Heaven" live!  Here's our performance from Cafe Du Nord last March.  Filmed & edited by Anson Ho. 

Here's our version of "Somebody To Shove" from the Secret Satan cover show. Our friend Dennis posted all the songs from the show on his YouTube channel: thedunkmonkey.  Check 'em out. 

Howdy y'all...grab that new costume get-up you've been dying to wear & come on out for this special Halloween show! All the bands performing have chosen to cover a particular band for each set. The show will be action-packed...short sets with all bands performing in costume as the band they're covering.

But wait...the bands being covered are a SECRET!

Wha? That's right, no one knows...the cat's in the bag. Looks like you'll have to come to the Hemlock Tavern and find out!

A few months ago we did an interview with the folks at myx.tv about our experience of making the "Alibi" video and how the medium of film relates to music. They are now playing the video with our goofy intro / outtro...

The full interview should be online soon.

Last night we got together with Nate and put the finishing touches on our new EP.

The title of the EP is still pending, but the track list is:

1. Rest My Bones
2. You're Upside Down, You're Funny
3. Ba Na Na Na Na
4. Mouthful Of Marbles
5. We Are Free

We'll get a preview track up as soon as the mastering is complete and will have cds shortly there after.

This recording is a bit different than our last record, The Pen And The Letter. This EP is more raw, spontaneous and more representative of our live show. That being said, it is filled with beautiful harmonies and layers of guitar in all the right spots.  ;)

Thanks Val for the excellent rendition of us and for putting Nori center stage where she belongs!

Vocal recording is sounding great.  We've finished drums, bass, and guitars...so getting close!

Tentative track listing:

1) Rest My Bones

2) You're Upside Down, You're Funny

3) Ba Na Na Na Na

4) Mouthful Of Marbles

5) We Are Free

Nate & Dave have been writing harmonies, eating potato chips, and hanging with studio dog Henry...more updates soon!

We have a new lineup and couldn't be happier.

Meet Karl Tupper.

He was in Golden Birds.

Karl has red hair.

He's saving the world.

He plays bass.

He kicks ass.

After 18 months of brainstorming and coding, Trevor's side project is now open for business to the public. FourFour is a platform for running feature-rich official band websites and mailing list services with no coding or design skills needed. HIJK's website uses FourFour. Please spread the word...

Just released is the UC Berkeley compilation, Caltopia 2008. This comp is to kick off the new school year, features our song "Smells Like Cigarettes" and the album is free for download. Yeah!

A local videographer named Eugenia Loli-Queru contacted us wanting to shoot a video for "Alibi". With only 4 hours of shooting and two days of editing, this beautiful little video was born.

There's even a "making of" article and video.

The Guardian presents Un-vusual: A Video Art Contest. Winners will be shown at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate park this coming Friday. Please join us!

We got lots of love and support from the local papers for our cd release show. Here is just a few of the clippings:

"Many of the songs evolve significantly as they go... layered with complex melodic passages that unfold over repeated listens." - The Bay Bridged

"Tastefully delicate art pop" - SF Bay Guardian (Ezra Provost)

"Not a note was overlooked across HIJK's full-length debut." - East Bay Express

Next Show: Thurs. 4/19 @ FAT CITY 314 11th St. @ Folsom, SF, CA $7, show starts at 9pm w/ The May Fire (EP release show) Fujiko Chan Murder Of Lilies we play second! News: We will be touring through Spokane, Seattle and Portland the first week in May with Love Is Chemicals. Spread the word.

Thank the pranksters. Our myspace plays jumped today. Some unknown person spammed the entire Yale campus with a fake "spring fling" ad with bogus info that HIJK is playing with Boards Of Canada. See the Ivy Gate Blog.

It's an all-ages show. Yeah (has it been so long?). Seeeew, we received the brand new HIJK promotional EP CDs and they're (OMG) totally awesome (that's the cover on the right ->). Call your friends - if they sign the mailing list (by going to hijkmusic.com) we'll give them a free copy at the show. And, of course, we'll give you one when we see you there. Ps. HIJK play's first that night. ******** ::ALL AGES::: BUY TICKETS ONLINE Bottom of The Hill - San Francisco Saturday, the 17th of February - 10:00pm (doors at 8:30) $8 in advance / $10 at the door - The Look, The May Fire, and HIJK (formerly Hijack The Disco) ******** xo, Mike | Trevor | Dave

Let's have a gay old time! That's right, let's get together, make merry, and look back on 6 years as HIJACK THE DISCO. Please join us this Thursday (12/14) at The Eagle Tavern with our friends The Ex-Boyfriends for our final show of 2006... and last show ever as HIJACK THE DISCO! For those of you who don't know, due to the growing popularity of Panic! At the Disco and confusion about the similarities between the two names, the time has come to begin the next chapter. After much discussion, HIJK (spelled out when spoken) seemed the obvious choice. Not only does it visually recall our past as "Hijack", but it's simple: the alphabet is a foundation for language, language is the foundation for lyrics, and everyone knows how to sing "aych-eye-jay-kay." Bonus: For this show only, all HIJACK THE DISCO merch will be HALF OFF! So, stock up on holiday gifts for your cousins & ex-boyfriends... beat the rush... and capture a moment in history! Hope to see you this Thursday! December 14, 2006 THURSDAY NITE LIVE!! THE EX - BOYFRIENDS, EXCUSES FOR SKIPPING, HIJACK THE DISCO 8pm, 21+ The Eagle Tavern 398 12th Street San Francisco, CA 94103 (415) 626-0880 xo, Dave, Mike, Trevor

Hi Friends! Regardless of what the Kansas school board says, things are constantly evolving... We moved into a new practice space with Minipop AND due to the overwhelming success of Panic! At The Disco, and the uncanny similarity between their name and ours, we have decided to change our name! In fact, after hearing our record, Panic!'s manger said that we had to change our name. It's gonna happen soon, so bring your suggestions to our show at Cafe Du Nord THIS Tuesday!
