Well, we're down to the last few coke-bottle green Madness in Miniature vinyls. Our first pressing will officially be retired very soon, so make sure you get a copy on coke-bottle green while they're still available.
Or...
You could get one of our new super sweet-ass second pressings, which feature coke-bottle green with orange splatter! "Splatter you say?" Yes, that's right...splatter. 12 hard inches of splatter. "Who knew 12 hard inches could produce so much splatter?" We did my friend, we did.
To celebrate our second pressing we're giving away a few signed copies! Choose between coke-bottle green, or coke bottle green with orange splatter. Click the link below to sign up for our mailing list and pick what sweet-ass color you want, hit submit, and you'll be eligible to win. Winners will be chosen at random. Hurry though! You only have till February 15, 2012...
Ohh bloggy blog how we've missed you! We've been ohhh sooo busy...
Busy getting wasted and blacking out. Busy having orgies. Busy cuckolding. Busy telling the man to fuck off. Busy prepping our mini donkey, Dirk, for the donkey show (there's one part of him that's not so mini...his big fat floppy donkey dick). Busy eatin rainbows and shittin stars. You know sweet-ass stuff like that.
And in the midst of all that awesomeness, we've even had time to do a little work. We're mixing a few B-sides, which we'll be releasing on a 7" Vinyl and digitally for the upcoming tour. The record is tentatively titled, The Soft Side. It features 2 songs from the Madness in Miniature sessions, both of which have laid back, mellow characteristics, with subtle hints of vanilla and genitals. Like a fine wine. Something good to bang to. Or cry to. The choice is yours. Maybe you could bang and cry at the same time??
We've also been in the midst of music video madness. We're wrapping up pre-production on our next music video, which we'll be shooting this weekend! The video is for House of Circles and will be based on the characters found on the Madness in Miniature album cover. We'll try to make it beautiful, exciting, and moving, but it'll probably just end up being weird, confusing and frightening.
We're also happy to announce our first pressing of Madness in Miniature on coke-bottle green vinyl is nearly sold-out! We'll have a second pressing available featuring coke-bottle green with Orange Splatter available very very soon!
Oh yeah, one more important announcement. We're gonna be hittin the road again this spring. Dates below with more TBA. See you all very soon!!!
Happy release day to you. Happy release day to you. Happy release day dear Madness in Miniature Happy release day to you.

Well, our third album is officially 5 months late but today is the day we reveal what we've been doing with all of our time off. We are very pleased to announce that we will be releasing our third full length record, Madness in Miniature on October 25th, 2011.
We recorded this beast last September with our wonderfully talented amigo, Justin Smith at Pink Duck Studios in L.A., and with the magnificent Beau Sorenson right here in our very own basement. Tracking took a total of two weeks and then Beau took that bitch back with him to Portland for mixing. We took the beginning of this year to add some more bells and whistles...interludes, a few more home recordings engineered by yours truly...all while drinking mass amounts of Tequila and partying with none other than my main man, Darth Vapor. The end result...pure fuckin madness...hence the name, Madness in Miniature. "What an odd title..." you might be saying. Well, here's an excerpt from a Time Magazine article published in the mid-60s about doctors taking LSD to identify with their schizophrenic patients:
"One of the first theories about LSD was that it was a psychotomimetic—a mimicker of psychoses. The idea offered hope of finding a chemical cure for schizophrenia, as well as of increasing the psychiatrist's empathy with a schizophrenic by giving himself 'madnessinminiature' and thereby knowing what his patient was going through."
So there you have it. Here we are disappointing our mothers once again...Sorry Momsie Womsie. Hope you still love us. Would a free download of the first single, "Bit of Tongue" help you love me again?

Our short film "Vampires" was an official selection at this years Cleveland International Film Festival, and more recently has been awarded 3 Telly Awards; Cinematography, Art Direction, and Editing, and has been selected to screen at The Detroit Windsor International Film Festival. Who knew a video based around drugs, sex, and Emongs would get so much love? Thanks so much to all those involved in the making of this disturbing film.
We are mr. Gnome, a two-piece band from Cleveland, Ohio. We write music, make albums, and tour across the United States of America in a van named The Silver Bullet. We've been compared to everything from Massive Attack, PJ Harvey, Tool, Portishead, and Cat Power, to Pelican, Death From Above 1979, Bjork and Blonde Redhead. We were homeless in 2007. Now we have a 1 bedroom apartment. We've written 2 EPs (Echoes on the Ground released Oct 2005, and mr. Gnome {self-titled} released Dec 2006), and two full-lengths (Deliver This Creature released May 2008 & Heave Yer Skeleton released Nov. 2009). This is our sweet blog. It contains updates on the band, our shenanigans, our writing, recording, and touring. If you're new to us and need a little intro, our music and other info can be found at the links below.
