If you like what you see, maybe you should subscribe to our YouTube channel, eh?

But more importantly, we’re doing this as a benefit for Nevada Partnership for Homeless Youth, a great local nonprofit whose work helps displaced teens, both with food, clothes and temporary housing in the short term, and with life skills, personal development and reconnecting with family in the long term. To that end, we’re asking for a measly $5 donation at the door to benefit NPHY, and we’ll also be donating $1 from the sale of each copy of “Unknown” sold that night as well. In addition, we please ask that you take a look at NPHY’s “Wish List,” and if you have any of these much-needed personal items available to donate, to please bring them to the release party.

And there you go! The public debut of Jackie Pope on drums and Pj Perez on guitar! Our first live show in more than a year! Surprise guests! And YOU! Let’s do this. See you March 30.

You can now purchase our entire new album, Unknown, at iTunes, Amazon MP3, or in physical CD direct from us.

All your favorites can be found on Unknown, in fist-pumping new versions: “Alone,” “My Reality,” and of course, “Pseudo Angel.” And there are new gems for you to sonically digest, including “Bad Blood,” “Disaster Remedy,” and our newest creation, “Wasted Time,” which is sure to burrow itself inside your head like an ear-worm of the highest order.

And there you have it! Go, download some inexpensive, new music, rock your hearts out, and then let us know what you think. And don’t forget to hook up with us on Twitter or Facebook!

Unknown hits the streets and the web on Nov. 8. Stay tuned for more details on how you can get your hands on the full album!

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be releasing more news about the disc, including song listing, purchasing info and maybe even some sneak peeks — if you’re nice. As well, look for other news about the band coming up. For the most access, be sure to subscribe to our insider email list, or follow us on Twitter or Facebook. It’s going to be an exciting time to be an AYU fan. And an AYU member.

If you live in Las Vegas, you can come down and drink with the boys and experience the nonsense live as they talk about band stuff, art stuff, comic books, and whatever else comes up. If you can’t make it down, listen live online at DoubleDownRadio.net. It’s that easy. Hell, you can even call in with stupid questions at (702) 516-5506.

Kids’ Co-Op (located at 4316 N. Decatur Blvd.) is the only registered parent cooperative preschool in Nevada, offering an enriching, parent-involved education for young children. The non-profit 501(c)(3) organization is self-funded through registration fees, private donations and public fundraising events such as this one.

Joining As Yet Unbroken on the stage at Las Vegas Country Saloon are fellow local bands Pigasus and Viva Valhalla. There is no cover charge for the show, which begins at 8 p.m., but donations for Kids’ Co-Op in any amount are being requested. We hope to see you all downtown to rock out for a great cause!

If things seem as though they’ve been quiet around here, well, you haven’t been getting the view from inside our studio. But there’s a reason for the seeming inactivity from outside the AYU fishbowl. We did part ways with guitarist Peter Stauber in the fall, leaving us back to a three-piece ensemble. Old pal and former ax-slinger Rick Espe stepped up to the plate to play our last 2010 gig at Brass Lounge in November, and it was a bad-ass show all around. Much props to Rick for getting up to speed so quickly and cranking it to 11!

Instead of rushing out to find a new permanent six-string wizard, we decided to take the time to do what you guys have been asking for years: Record a damn album. So, for the first time in our three-year existence (yes, three years!), Tim, Mark and Pj forced themselves to focus on nothing but writing and recording songs. And it’s going pretty damn well, y’all. We’ve recorded about a half-dozen of our old favorites, and have written and/or recorded four or five new songs — with more on the way, including a cover of Queen’s “Fat Bottomed Girls” as YOU demanded!

We’ll start sharing some of the behind-the-scenes action on our YouTube and Facebook channels soon, and hope to be able to drop a new song on you soon, before making available the as-yet-untitled full-length CD.

We appreciate all your support, and hope you’re ready for some mind-blowing rock music in 2011. Because we’re bringing it. Stay tuned.

Love,

Tim, Mark and Pj

First up is a double-bill with Thrown Clear, who you may remember from our previous appearances at N.O.I.S.E., coming up this Saturday, Sept. 18 at 10 p.m. inside Bugsy’s Speakeasy (6145 W. Sahara Ave.). It’s a free show for you adults of legal drinking age out there.

Another free gig comes your way Saturday, Oct. 23 at Money Plays (4755 W. Flamingo Road) with our friends in Adognameddutch. The noise begins at 10 p.m. and, again, bring your ID provin’ you’re 21 or older!

Two weeks later, we have a really cool show lined up. We’re performing with Seattle-based geek-rockers Kirby Krackle and local bands Dead Neon and Minor Suns at the Las Vegas Country Saloon (425 Fremont St., above Hennessy’s) for a night of music and literature to celebrate the release of two books: Dead Neon, a fiction anthology edited by Dead Neon’s Jarret Keene, and Tales from the Boneyard, a comic compilation edited by our own Pj Perez. It’s also the unofficial afterparty for the Vegas Valley Comic Book Festival, so … yeah, it’ll be awesome. Details forthcoming.

As if that’s not enough, we’re in the mixing and editing stage of recording on our new EP, so … clear room on your iPods for some sweet new music.

What does this have to do with As Yet Unbroken? Well, the rest of the band will be on hand to help celebrate the debut of Mark’s new show, as we’ll all take the stage after the reception to perform a full-on set for free. Yep — fine art, comic books and rock ‘n’ roll. What more do you need? And it’s all ages! So, you know, come on down, hang out, and get your culture on!

The reception starts at 6 p.m., AYU goes on about 10 p.m., and we expect to see each and every one of you there. Huzzah!
