the Wankers are back to Rockin
Alright So the Wankers are getting back together. First Thing is First. Pat is officially not coming back, he hasn't actually told us this himself. But since it's been like four months, we figured he quit. Oh well, Zach has been doing great and shows more enthusiasm than any other maember of the band, hopefully it will last. He even passes out flyers, imagine that, passing out fliers for your own band. WOW Ok Anyways we are geting the shit back together, playing tighter then ever. We have been playing a lot of shows, tryin to get out of town more often. got a couple good shows comin up, with our good friends from TUBRING and possibly a show with MUSTARD PLUG? We are even putting together a "Heartland of America Tour!" where we will hit just major cities in OHIO. YES! Stay tuned | | Friday, June 2nd, 2006 | | 9:22 pm |
the Wankers are being lazy
Well the Wankers have been Lazy...Duh I'm sorry to report the Wankers have not been doing to much at all. We've haven't played a show in almost a month and have nothing set up as of right now. Seems as if some of the boys are losing interest, and this makes me sad. We haven't seen or heard from Big Pat in a long time. Only thing we know is that he was very upset with are practicing conditions, we had two shows booked back in April and he didn't show. So we don't know what is going on there. If anyone sees him tell him to get a hold of us. We would love to finish these last few projects we started with him. And wish him the best either way, hope there are no hard feelings. In the meanwhile Zach from the Eukanuba Jesuseses has been filling in, but we need to practice a bit more with him and write new songs. Jeremy has come back and shown in Interst in playing again, but has only been to two of the last shows. So right now things are definantly dragging and we need to figure out what the hell is going on. Again I apologize for the lack of updates, but there is not much to report.

He's Back Bitch
He's Back Bitch So for some time there has been talk of letting Jeremy, our keyboard playa, return to the band. After all we loved the sound he providedand and well, everyone deserves a second chance. After having a seriuos talk with the reverend, and having him play the last two shows, we decided that we miss him and what he does. He assures us he is all about the band and just needed some time to think things though. So in short Jeremy is back on the Keys baby. Rock. And on that note April 12th Cincy Punk Presents: the Poison Room 5th and Plum DownTown, Cincinnati, OH w/ Kid Gib (Canada) EataFetus Trio, Deranged Gerbils, and Jonah $4 21+ $5 18+ show starts at 8:30 | | Tuesday, March 28th, 2006 | | 3:58 pm |

the Wankers are good to Go
Alright, howdy everyone. Friends, Family, and Fans of the Wankers. Hope Everyone had a great Holiday. Ours was pretty crazy. We had a few minor set backs, which I will go into, that set us a bit out of the loop.Lots of stuff to report, i know we aren't the best with keeping people up to date via the interenet. And as we all know it's been a really long time since we have sent out out a group email. We have been sticking to News postings on the site and Bullenteins on MySpace. Mainly because it's rather diffucult to send bulk emails though our normal yahoo account, it keeps thinking we are spaming people. Where would they get a crazy idea like that? So we decide to take some peoples advice and build a wankers yahoo group page. Rock Your Socks Off! Click the link to check it out and join. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rockyoursocksoff This way we can send out emails to everyone at once and fans can send group emails to each other. So go check out the group home page, post a message, become a member, share files and photos, view show calendar events, check out links, create group polls, and more. It's all easy to use. Just go to the group home page now: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rockyoursocksoff and this will keep it so much easier to send out emails and let all members know what's going on. So check it out, because like I said we well be mainly posting emails though the group page and we don't want you to miss out. Thanks Alright down to buisness. As some of you may or may not know, Ryan Wankers has been in recovery for some time with a broken jaw. His mouth has been wired shut since Thanksgiving making it diffucult for him to sing. Thus, no shows. But we are happy to report that Ryan has had all the wires removed this week. So he'll start getting movement back soon and maybe he will learn how to sing. We are going to start practicing and hopefully be playing shows again in the next couple of weeks. So anyone that could help us out with a show. That would be awesome, seeing as how we have fallen out of the loop. It's been a while and we are itching to get back out there and Rock your Friggin Socks Off! And on that night I just wanted to remind you that the wankers debt full length, No Need For A Solo... It's Back to Basics, has been pressed and is availble online at www.interpunk.com 15 Tracks of High Energy Rock N' Roll. This Abulm is a long running effort to express our many musical tastes, but still maintain the high energy involved in our live shows. Spanning 60's Style Fuzz and Organs with the bizzare melodic screams of a highly modulated guitar this album will "Rock your Socks off!" We will more than likely be having a "cd release show", since we never did. That way who can get the cd pretty cheap too. Live in the Cincy area: You can also pick up Wankers albums at these Cincy based record stores: Phil's Music Books and More 4307 Winston Ave. Covington, Ky 41015 (859)431.7774 Everybody's Records 6106 Montgomery Rd.

Much needed facts and side projects
Alright, we just wanted to clear a few things up since the last time we sent out any updates. The facts are as some of you may or may not know: We have lost are Keyboard player, but to my understanding he wil still be recording on a few projects we are working on. There was talk of him coming back, but I'm not entirely sure what's going on with that at this point in time? Matt has not quit the band, he has played the last four shows we've had without the keyboard player. And he says he's not quitting anytime soon? We are taking a break for the holidays and are working on other projects and recordings. Check them out. Surf Cincinnati- ska surf plus new recordings of older songs with keys.

Well Good bye Jeremy and the Keyboards?
So after a year or so with the Wankers Jeremy Hensley, our keyboard player, has decide to call it quits. For those of you who are unaware of Jeremy you can check him out at http://www.damnwankers.com/thecrew/jeremy.html and see his old bio before I redo it and move it to the old crew section. Jeremy was very dedicated for the most part, euthiastic, and above all, very talented. He will be missed and we wish him the best in all he does. Check out his other projects: Eukanuba Jesus, Dancing in Isolation, and Type A This is a surprise to all of us, but in a way we saw it coming. The wankers have seen many members come and go though the years, hey we are not the Wankers for nothing, but we have stride to bring you old school rock. With out all fancy string attached. We are debating whether or not to replace him, seeing as how we wrote all the songs with out a keyboard in the first place, and get back to the old school? I don't know I leave this to you the people to decide. I like keyboards, but it seems at times they were a little much, no need to play all the time, and we found ourselves not playing a lot of our older songs. So let us know what you think about this. Keyboards bad or good? You be the judge? | | Wednesday, August 31st, 2005 | | 11:42 pm |
A Review from Cincy Punk
The Wankers - No Need for a Solo... by Justin Dennis on Tuesday 30 August 2005 Band: The Wankers Album: No Need for a Solo…It’s Back to Basics Release Date: June 2005 Record Label: Independent Web-site: http://www.damnwankers.com/ Image: http://www.damnwankers.com/merchandise/noneedcover.jpg No Need for a Solo... It's Back to Basics The Wankers challenge to bring together the sounds of almost every genre imaginable with their debut LP No Need for a Solo…It’s Back to Basics. Five musical minds express the fun in rock n’ roll that has somehow lost its potency among today’s compositions. Throughout this acrobatic album you might notice a somewhat sturdy attempt to teach us not to take ourselves too seriously. Most have labeled them “Space Punk” and “Spunge Rock”, but there really is no classification for such a wide range of tastes combined into a single band. Image: http://damnwankers.com/miscbackgrounds/thewankers.jpg The Wankers No need for commercial consideration or marketing meetings because these boys know how to get back to the roots of why rock is raw and untamed. High energy and good intentions seep from these lads with the satisfaction of creating something different in a world of redundancy. Exploration and experimentation in lo-fi surroundings are what they provide through this project without explanations. The Wankers are not only good for a taste of something a little off-kilter, but as well as supporting the music scene at its most basic form.

A Tragedy in the Family
A Tragedy in the Family of Coven and Crazy D,a Great, Funny, Hard Core Partying, Hip Hop Group. the Wankers have played with them before, this comes from an email From City Mouse: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v27/golly/DSC00239.jpgAt our first stop on tour, our tourmate Hunter (Coven from Coven & Crazy D) drowned in Chicago. We love and miss him so much. It's still hard to fathom that something could go so wrong. We're back home now. We will not be continuing the tour as there is a lot of arrangements to be made and all attention will be devoted to his son and other family for the time being. The following is coverage from the Lexington Herald Leader and the Chicago Tribune. Herald Leader Posted on Sat, Aug. 06, 2005 Richmond hip-hop artist found dead By Ashlee Clark HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITER The body of a member of a Richmond hip-hop duo was found early yesterday in the Chicago River. Hunter Whitaker, 25, of Richmond, was found dead by the Chicago Fire Department at 5:50 a.m. yesterday off Lakeshore Drive, said Sgt. Robert Cargie, a news affairs officer with the Chicago Police Department. The cause of Whitaker's death will not be known until a medical examiner's investigation is complete, Cargie said. Whitaker and Richmond resident David Webster performed as the comedic gangsta rap group Coven and Crazy D. They had been on a U.S. tour with a Lexington punk-pop group, City Mouse. The first stop on their tour was Thursday at The Studio in Chicago. Coven and Crazy D's music had been compared to rap groups the Beastie Boys and The Bloodhound Gang. The duo released an album, Gangsters and Busters, on the Berea- and Lexington-based Eugene Records label this summer. "This is a terrible, terrible thing -- Hunter was a really great guy and had a lot of friends that will sorely miss him," said a post on the Eugene Records Web site. ********************************* Rescuers pull body from Belmont Harbor Tribune staff reports Chicago Tribune Published August 5, 2005, 4:03 PM CDT Chicago firefighters early this morning recovered the body of a man who apparently drowned while swimming in Belmont Harbor, CLTV reported. The victim was identified as Hunter Whitker, 23, CLTV reported. His address was not immediately available. Whitker was walking with five or six friends along the North Side harbor early today when he decided to jump into the water for a swim, authorities said. The friends called for help when he disappeared. Firefighters recovered Whitker's body shortly before 6 a.m., CLTV reported. The man was taken to Illinois Masonic Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. If confirmed as a drowning, it would be the second this week along the city's Lake Michigan shore. The previous drowning occurred late Wednesday. Jonathan Vroman, 19, of the 2100 block of North Sawyer Avenue, was walking with friends along the lake shortly before midnight that evening and decided to go swimming. Vroman jumped into the lake from a breakwater near Pratt Beach, 1050 W. Pratt Blvd. on the city's North Side. Friends called 911 when Vroman did not reappear. Fire and police rescuers pulled the man from the water about an hour after he vanished and took him to St. Francis Hospital, Evanston, where he was pronounced dead. The Cook County medical examiner's office determined Vroman died of drowning. The man's mother said she believed her son had been drinking with his friends before the accident. Tribune wire services contributed to this story. | | Monday, July 11th, 2005 | | 4:18 am |
Wow.
Alright I'm sorry I know I need to update some news every once in a while. But there is not much to report, things have been slow in WankerLand. Up in till recently we were hardly ever practicing, just playing shows here and there. With usually a different line up, depending upon you could or couldn'y make it. We got off our asses and joined the battle for Warped Tour. To our surprise we placed first in the Semi Finals and move on to the Finals on July 20th. at Sudsy Malones. So maybe the wankers will get some local exposure, since we all know we don't get out of town much. Oh well, I guess my boys are wankers after all. Check out the shows to see what we get in to next. www.damnwankers.com/where | | Friday, July 8th, 2005 | | 4:07 pm |
