Well look at that, maybe the Austin Chronicle is catching on! There is a little blurb about Hoagman’s video for “Alpine” in this week’s edition. Go Hoagman!

More later today for the FS Takeover Tour Press Conference!
Took us long enough, but we had to wait until the summertime to get the right footage. But here’s Hoagman’s video for our song “Alpine” about our south austin neighborhood. Enjoy!
Well, there’s been talk of a Full Service and Grimy Styles concert for a long time since we first ran into them through our producer (and their manager) CCGrady. Plus, we both rock the same venue – The Flamingo Cantina – regularly.
So finally it’s going to happen, though at a different venue!
FRIDAY MAY 23rd, 2008 @ The Parish Room (Austin, TX)
Show @ 9pm with FS playing first, Grimy headlining.
Hey fanSizzles….. Hoagman has already diced up the footage from our show in Houston at Ugly’s last weekend and I just uploaded it onto the FULL SERVICE VIDEO PAGE. Check it if ya missed the show, or if you were there and wanna see yourself rocking hard to the FS jam!
Be warned, though – the interviewer DOES reveal Bonesaw’s real name in the interview! The story ran yesterday in Bonesaw’s alma mater (Amherst College) newspaper. READ THE INTERVIEW
Austin’s FULL SERVICE
TAKES OVER 311/Snoop Dogg Summer Tour
Austin’s band of road pirates FULL SERVICE has just announced it’s most far-reaching and risky stunt yet: a month long “TAKEOVER TOUR” spanning the entire eastern and south central United States. The target – 311 & Snoop Dogg’s summer tour.
Having successfully toured the nation’s club circuit independently for much of the last three years, FULL SERVICE has decided to take touring and promotion to a new level.
Wait, so the band has been invited to tour with 311?
“Definitely not. We were not invited by any means,” says drummer Hoagman. “This is parasitic infiltration at its best. Will it be our greatest Takeover of all time? All signs point to yes.”
Armed to the hilt with a generator, a traveling crew of three dedicated street-teamers and existing fans in every city, 10,000 demo CD’s, and a commitment to go without sleep for a month, the band will play ‘takeover concerts’ outside of the arena venues, before the inside concert begins, at all fourteen stops along the 311 tour, beginning in Philadelphia July 15th and ending in Austin August 2, 2008. The band is also booking late-night club dates in the each city after almost every takeover.
Full Service has been in takeover training for several years now, having successfully executed missions ranging from college campuses at lunch time (UCLA, UC-Berkeley, FSU, for example) to the Austin City Limits Festival (see FOX News coverage). Their most successful takeover came in 2006 outside the Austin Music Hall at a 311 concert in Austin. Full Service set up directly in front of the venue, which was heavily patrolled by Police. After a full ten-song set with no hassle from the authorities (gotta love Austin cops), a large crowd was begging for sample CD’s and info about the band.
Amidst the ever more competitive environment for bands to gain attention, FULL SERVICE has forsworn the standardized and impersonal myspace “friend-requesting” campaign and has instead decided to take it straight to the people, LOUD and LIVE and definitely UN-INVITED!
