The band, not the personality test.

So yesterday marked the semi-debut of Wonderlick as a live five-piece. I say semi, because we recorded a radio session yesterday, but it won’t be broadcast for a couple weeks. Once it is, we should be able to get all the tracks live on this site in a sharable player. Many thanks to Dennis “The […]

We’ll get all these arranged nicely in the Press section eventually, but here are two more Topless-related features from the interweb. The first is an interview with an Iowa paper, written by my friend Kembrew McLeod. Kembrew’s a prankster as well a respected academic, so you can understand why we get along. We did the […]
Today’s the street date for Topless at the Arco Arena. If you pre-ordered it through us, your package should have arrived by now (shoot admin@wonderlick.com a note if you haven’t received it). The band will be doing another Wine Time with Wonderlick webcast this Saturday night, 7/11, at 6pm PST. Tune in, and bring your […]

To promote the video for “This Song is a Commercial,” the label’s put together a contest. Basically, you send in video of yourself dancing to our song, and you get entered to win a portable MP3 player plus a year’s subscription to Rhapsody (we’ll probably load the player up with Wonderlick’s collected works, as well). […]

Here’s the label for the Topless CD. As you can see, we love it so much we incorporated it into the banner for this website. It will probably become a T-Shirt, as well. It’s based on a poster I saw a few years ago in an exhibit of WPA art. In that one, the shadow […]

So last night was our first experiment with webcasting. Wine Time with Wonderlick, in which Jay and I spent a little over a half hour drinking a fine bottle of Bordeaux, giving each other shit, and responding to comments typed in by viewers, was kinda fun and kinda embarrassing. The high point was probably when […]

I like watching music videos, but I hate being in them. Miming is evil. Jay’s a little more of a ham than I am, but neither of us feel compelled to spend an inordinate amount of time in our own video. So a bunch of gracious volunteers will be sitting on this couch today, making […]
Welcome to the new Wonderlick website. We’ve pre-populated it with some of the recent news from the old site, various posts from Lick’s Facebook page, and several years’ worth of interviews and reviews. But the real action is in the future — we’ll be turning various widgets on and off and maybe moving things around […]

So, the label is very eager for us to do semi-regular webcasts. In an effort to be accommodating, we will be trying one this Saturday, 5/9, at 7pm PST. We have no idea what we’re doing here, so we’ll be just as surprised as you if you tune in. We’re calling it Wine Time with […]
