So… since we love making music, writing songs, having fun, and making videos, we’re starting a totally NEW thing called ‘REQUEST SONGS!’ We’re accepting TOPICS from you, our fans/friends and we’re totally writing a song about it! (and if you’re lucky, we’ll make a VIDEO to go along with that!
All you have to do is write to us with a random topic here on our site, on our Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/askyouingray), or email us at askyouingray [at] gmail.com and we’ll do it!
This first video, Undersea Office Life, was requested anonymously… but its about an octopus eating a sandwich and his desk job. Totally random.
We’re going to be headlining a fun show at the Hawthorne Theater on January 27th, 2011. Grab all of your #PDX friends and come out to dance with us.

Halloween has always been a fun reason to celebrate ghouly ghasts and haunted houses, but on Sunday, October 31st, 2010 there is another reason to get out and celebrate. We’re playing our debut show in Portland, Oregon after a long transition from Chicago. Grab your sweetest costume and your dancing shoes and get down to the Hawthorne Theater at 1507 SE 39th Ave, Portland, Oregon. The doors open at 7pm, $8 and we’re playing with Andrew’s Ave, Times New Roman, and Sam Wegman.

While wasting time playing every instrument I can get my hands on, and while Trey is out of town, probably gambling all of his money away in Vegas, I decided it would be fun to record a quick acoustic version of Reckless! Let us know what you think!
It seems I might have unknowingly contributed to the latest internet meme. These pics look quite similar to this pic of me playing Crack-the-hWhip with some metal kids.
