Hey ya'll. unfortunately blogspot has come to a end, but we are relocating.
I've decided to keep things a little neat, organized, and convenient for everyone then flicking to one website to another.
it was fun while it lasted on blogspot, but don't worry. Our blogspot is still going to be up and running to direct people to our new location of the internet.
thanks again to everyone for looking/reading at this little corner of the world wide web.
NEW LOCATION!!!!!

week one of east coast tour
What up yall. It's bin a little over a week now since we've bin on the road. So far it has bin very exciting. Hung out with good people and made new friends. Louisiana, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia were amazing. Every show we played, we've gotten good feedback. Loading in and out of small venues/co-ops, heaving 100lbs speakers cabs through a flight of stares and cracked sidewalks. We couldn't be any more happier.
Flinging download cards, stickers, posters; spamming motherfuckers like we some bible beaters spreading the good word to door to door.. We smile and move on to our next targets. Devouring bowls of instant oatmeal & Ramon noodles with a re-filled water bottle from the tab. That's what bin up for over a week.
Right now; we're on our way to Brooklyn, NY. Never bin to NY so we're prepared for shitty parking and horrible, horrible traffic.
-FD
by the way; I'll post up photos after the tour.

Houstonpress review on FD2 EP + late night gig friday night
Instrumental two-piece Female Demand keeps on trucking behind last year’s self-titled EP, which boasted production from Manny Nieto, who did time behind the boards with the Circle Jerks and HEALTH. The band’s two-piece sound is completely analog, harkening to Lightning Bolt and the late Death From Above 1979. Their live shows are hectic, sweat-drenched affairs full of kids spazzing out and dancing, making Female Demand’s shows some of the most fun in town.
--Houstonpress
, also we got a late night gig this friday @ this new afterhours bar
it's all ages and byob too.

California + West TX snow storm
The California trip was a success. We had a bumpy ride for shows, but made connections & met great people. Talked business with folks in high, high places, got to see a part of American that we never got to see, spot a tumble weed on the road. It was great.
We're looking forward for more Gigs in California and Along the way this coming April, but the main idea of this blog entry is we got caught in a snow storm in West TX.
Never in our lives seen as much snow we've witness down in West TX. Enlightening, but the most uncomfortable and dangerous thing we've done since a band. We like adventures, but damn! WE WERE NOT EXPECTING THIS!!! AND @ 2AM IN THE FUCKING MORNING!!!
--also here's the videos of us performing in Denton, TX and Cali. (the Denton show, the camera got cut off too early!)

Space City Rock review on Self-Titled EP
Female Demand
Of the four tracks on Female Demand's self-titled EP, the one that hits the hardest is the opener, "Sweet Nothing" -- it starts off with almost wah-wah-sounding bass and stuttering, barely-restrained drums, then stomps its way into two minutes and change of driving, thundering, bass-and-drums instrumental rawk, leaning heavily towards the sludgy, garage-y side of things. The sound swings between noisy, punkish blues, stoner-esque metal, and an almost prog-funky vibe, if you can believe it, and the result is something like a loose, angry-drunk, alternate-universe version of Dub Trio, or maybe Jucifer rocking a dance party without the vocals. Put it all together, and it's a hell of a ride, especially for a two-man outfit.
The band slows things down somewhat for "I Thought I Told You...," and on first listen my heart sank, figuring the FD duo had done the inevitable and, y'know, toned things down for the record. Happily, they step back in after the mid-tempo intro, kicking and punching their way through the remainder of the track while riding a sing-song-y riff -- it feels weird to say that, I know, about a vocal-less instrumental, but Bradley Muñoz's bass at one point sound like it's taunting the listener, daring 'em to make something of it. "Skies Are Falling" is even more fuzzed-out and crunchy-sounding (a good thing, in my book), with drummer Jonathan Perez hammering away at his drums like he's trying to crack the ground below his kit wide, wide open. For final track "Like Catching Butterflies," the duo delve a bit deeper into footpedals-and-laptops territory, letting Perez manipulate stretch his bass sound out to infinity and then launch it into space.
If there's a quibble to be made about this, it's that I honestly wanted to hear it louder -- messier, more raw, more overdriven, so loud the speakers start to crackle. The bass sounded nicely grimy, but I wanted the drums right down in the muck with it, dirtied up and boomy, like, say, the way the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion's Russell Simins sounds on "Sweat." Muñoz and Perez pull it off on "Sweet Nothing," but not really on any of the other tracks on the EP.
The kind of noise Female Demand makes really shouldn't be cleaned up, not one bit; it should make you feel like the band's playing right on either side of your head. (And yes, I did turn the damn thing up 'til my ears nearly bled.) 'Til that happens, this is no replacement for seeing the band explode live on stage...but hey, it's a damn good start.
Thanks SPACE CITY ROCK!!! :O

Japanese blog entry.
What are the odds!? :O
How it goes is, I got a email from this guy in Japan. He asked if we do international shipments. I replyed, "HELL YEAH WE SHIP TO JAPAN!" ... so i changed my settings on the Female Demand's big cartel to Domestic and International shipping. The next day we got a order for One Vinyl EP and Two CDs (self-titled EP & FD-2 EP). Packed them up and shipped it to Japan.
After practice, Jon was google-ing our name for updates on anything then he stumbled on a Japanese blog. THIS GUY BLOGGED ABOUT US!! HOW DOPE IS THAT?!!?!
so yeah, that's it. :)
-- & in case you guys didn't know. we have our store up online.
