R.I.P. Corey Kotsel and R.I.P. Anthony Missasi
thefamily3 suffered two incredible losses in the past few months, but thankfully we have the gift of music to get through it. Tony was a great drummer (most recently in The Ricochet), stupendous Drum Technician (for Gartdrumm), and irreplaceable friend.
A memorial concert is being held for Anthony Missasi on Friday, June 17th at Dave’s Coffee and Wine Haus in Saugerties, NY. 3, The Ricochet, and Nightmares For A Week will be performing in celebration of our friend’s life.

Terrible Things have a new website up, www.weareterriblethings.net. Taking a hint from John The Baker who’s been hashtagging tuesdays on twitter for the past year as, #TerribleTuesday, the Terrible crew now plan on posting a new video on their website every Tuesday to celebrate #TerribleTuesdays.
Turning a new leaf without the support of Universal-Motown Records, Terrible Things appear to be filling the vocal/guitar void left by Andy Jackson by allowing more of drummer, Josh Eppard’s, talents to shine.
Terrible Things, now a three-piece (Fred Mascherino, Josh Eppard, Brian Weaver), are working on brand new material as an independent band, and are prepping for the 2011 Vans Warped Tour.
Josh Eppard will be performing twice every date on Warped. Once drumming with Terrible Things, and once rocking the mic as only Weerd Science can on the SkullCandy Stage with MC Lars.
Weerd Science’s long-awaited sophomore album, Sick Kids, was released May 17th.
Weerd Science also makes an appearance on the Warped Tour 2011 Compilation CD in the song, “Sound of My Voice,” a collaboration with tour-mate, Big Chocolate. The CD comes out June 7th.
Additionally, Weerd Science will be featured on the Horris Records mixtape, a Warped Tour exclusive. KRS-One, Grieves, Sole, MC Frontalot, Rittz, Scroobius Pip, and MC Lars also make appearances on the mixtape.
Fred Mascherino played an acoustic show on Friday, May 13th at The Note in Westchester. Below is his tumblr post complete with the setlist! Looks like The Color Fred is battle testing some new Terrible Things tunes!
The next Fred acoustic show is Friday, June 3rd at Planet Trog in Whitehall, PA.
If you live near Folsom, PA- Fred is giving guitar lessons at the new Let There Be Rock School. Great opportunity to learn from the man, himself! Lessons are running up until Warped Tour. http://tinyurl.com/3qdcb4l
Terrible Things will be performing on the full Warped Tour, electric, as a three piece. Drummer, Josh Eppard, will also be performing a hip-hop set at the Skull Candy stage as Weerd Science.

If you guys get the chance to see Josh as his rapping alter ego, Weerd Science during his small tour over in England or Warped, you really should - it’s something different all together.
NOW it’s official! Terrible Things are playing every date on the 2011 Warped Tour as well as Weerd Science! The UK can catch some Josh Eppard in May on the “Melanin Challenged Tour” with MC Lars, Akira The Don, and MC Chris.

I still can’t get enough of this song… and it’s been out since February 2009! Mours is Josh Eppard’s developing rock project with friends and fellow musicians- Dave “Wavis” Parker, and Anthony Masington. This specific tune also features Mic Todd on vocals, Kurt Brown on guitar, and Dave Daw on bass. There’s so much emotion embodied in this song. Love it!
I can’t wait for the day when this project picks up again.
For the past year, Josh Eppard has been busy touring the US and Canada with his spankin’ new rock supergroup, Terrible Things. Their debut record came out in stores on August 31st. Josh has also been getting the release of his second Weerd Science record, Sick Kids, in order. Actually, in a recent interview with CWG Magazine, Josh said to look for the record in April and that Weerd Science will be performing at Warped Tour 2011! Today’s his birthday too, so happy birthday to him.
Dave Parker has been writing and performing bass with The City Never Sleeps.
Anthony Masington has joined The Flatline Symphony on vocals. Their single, “Cross The Vulture,” is out on iTunes and TFS is in the process of finishing up their debut release, This Is What They Call Surgery. In the past year he also released the first album from his experimental project, A Scream For The Memory. Pop! Goes The No-Wave (Oratorium Records) is up on iTunes as well. Additionally, Ant has entered the studio with his solo rock project, Session 606.
These Mours guys are incredible musicians… on their own, with other musicians, but mostly- together. I can never get sick of “Sharks in London.”

The Wonder YearsThis is what has leaked. This, and the rest of the lineup, will be confirmed/announced on December 8th.
My favorite excerpt from this wonderful write-up:
Weerd Science - It’s more than just something Bill Nye might handle, it’s Josh’s MC stage name, and you can expect a new album from the MC in April. Josh also spilled that; not only will Weerd Science be on the SkullCandy stage on Warped Tour in 2011, but Terrible Things will be heading out that summer as well.
Here’s Tyler’s interview with Terrible Things at the Detroit Warped Tour. He spoke with Fred Mascherino (ex-Taking Back Sunday, The Color Fred) and Josh Eppard (Ex-Coheed & Cambria). Check it out and tell us how he did!

Fred Mascherino and Josh Eppard of Terrible Things hung out with Tiffany Mink at the American Rag booth in Salt Lake City at the 2010 Vans Warped Tour. While there, we decided to do a little segment called “Terrible Trends” with Terrible Things!
