So So Glos report from the road. More dirt from the band on ¡The So So Blog!
Somewhere nearby Wilson, NC. While gearing up for our Wintour '09, we picked up a few new toys to play with. This pump is magical, sucking and filtering WVO in one neat little (and totally observable) process. It totally fulfills that curiosity you must have at some point (I certainly did) had about what gas looks like/how fast it comes out of the pump at the station. A total mystery, am I right? Ever try giving one of those a skyward squirt at your local Mobil (not recommended)? Anyway, here's Zach pumping some of that liquid gold. Every last drop!
So much promise in this here bin...
UH-OH! We got majorly siked out when we opened this baby. Let this serve as a reference point for newcomers to the grease game.
THERE WILL BE BLOOD! I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!
P.S. We are playing a bunch of shows across these United States. Check here.

From the Road
Barack was just elected. It's a sigh of relief that let out like a
roar. The times are a changin' and we're on the wide-open,
running on used vegetable oil.
We've met so many awesome (and insane) people who've helped us get good oil (liquid gold or "the good shit"). Many other people are turned on by the practicality of it (more on this soon...).
Our big news is that we just released this album TOURISM / TERRORISM on Green Owl Records (it dropped on Election Day). The album's a short-player that we recorded in one crazed week. It's an ode to a world broken by the soon-to-be ex-president's reign.
Listen to it all straight up, start to finish, like the days when the album was one cohesive thing.
We've all got a lot of work to do... don't forget to dance.
Love,
Zach Staggers / The So So Glos

About The So So Glos
The SO SO GLOS are four brothers who play the punk rock and roll that they believe in. Originally from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, they now live at the Market Hotel in Bushwick- a space they founded that is both their home and community. Brews, smokes and music blasting, the J train crushing along the tracks outside, non-stop. That is their music: aggressive, urgent, and immediate- political and poetic because it has to be. But these Brooklyn kids aren’t just touting the same old punk; Graced with electro MPC breaks, surf sounds, gang vox, and a little tambo it sounds fresh. Still though, after the rubble settles and the smoke clears, its unmistakenly punk rock in its spirit.
They started the infamous Market Hotel venue with promoter Todd P because they felt, with the DIY scene getting stronger; Brooklyn needed a larger all ages DIY venue. They were right- The Hotel has gone to host some of the best bands of now (No Age, The Black Lips, Dan Deacon) and some of the most legendary NYC parties in recent memory. Never content to play hometown heroes The SO SO GLOS self-released their S/T full length in 2007 and supported it with DIY touring at house parties and punk clubs all around the US.
In August The SO SO GLOS recorded "TOURISM / TERRORISM" at Staten Islands SOR studios with Adam Reich producing and mixing done by Spidey (Ghostface Killah). At 27 minutes long, the record is somewhere between an EP and an album. It was made a shortplayer "for the trigger happy iPod generation" half-jokes 21 year old lead singer Alex Levine with a grin. These guys are for real.
The SO SO GLOS will begin a new tour in October, with dates lasting until everyone f@cking gets it.
