athens at dawn...	Jun 28 2008 8:55 PM Hello. Any 4th plans yet? We are playing the belltown block party. We have aquired a large blank canvas and paints. Hopefully by the end of the night everybody will be naked. Should be fun!
~LOO~	Jun 26 2008 3:34 AM Hey Israfel!! I'm so proud of you boys finishing your studio, trying to work on songs and getting some shows together. You know I love you and I will always be one of your biggest fans no matter how big you get!
Harmony by the Bay	Jun 19 2008 10:29 PM Here's wishing you a fun weekend! We have the civil war battle here this weekend so we are in for a good show! Blessings and abundance, Katherine & Sean Harmony by the Bay
dead	Jun 5 2008 4:53 AM Dude you guys have been a band forever, and I don't feel like you've really made it yet you know. I mean where is Israfel headed for the future? Are you guys gonna focus on the band for years to come? If so, do you plan to make any money off of the bands music? Do you just plan to be an indie band that keeps making better and better music like you have been for the past few years? What is your plan for the future, or are you just going to play it by ear? Either way I'll be with Israfel to the end... I love all four of you and have for like 10 years each.. Sometimes I look back and think that maybe I should have been a part of Israfel, but then I look at myself in the mirror and think "nah, I did pretty well for myself." But damn, you guys sound more tight, together and innovative every time I see you. Sorry I missed your last two shows, it's been really tough with all the finals I have coming up, I haven't even been able to take my lady out to dinner, and I'm sure you guys know what that's like. As your guys music matures I feel like I'm maturing too, and I take away something new from your music every time I listen to it. Whatever the case, I just hope you guys continue to make music until the end, if there is one, whenever that may be...
h.k.m.a	Jun 3 2008 2:59 AM I know who he was, just hoping you thought that it was good to be Shel Silverstein-esk.
h.k.m.a	Jun 3 2008 2:54 AM Okay (I hope that's good), who's on right now?

Shannel	May 29 2008 5:02 AM How long is your show Friday?
(devorah)	May 25 2008 5:49 AM You guys are amazing and I am becoming more and more of a major fan! Keep up the great work! Love you all! (sad I am going to be missing your shows)
dead	May 22 2008 1:11 AM Dude I was listening to Jenny today and heard sounds that I had never heard before, especially at the end. Damn that's a good song I can't get enough, I remember listening to it and always hoping that it would never end even though it does and I feel like somehow the song hints at something eternal while at the same time taking comfort in the uncertainty of tomorrow.
cries for normin	May 21 2008 12:27 AM you guys have TWO SHOWS!? i am so excited about that, you have to tell me all about how they go ... love from scotland.
Andrew	May 19 2008 4:46 AM who's on now. brad and i are making the cd. any suggestions?
dead	May 8 2008 1:26 AM WE are fixed... right were we are

cries for normin	Apr 25 2008 7:25 AM i love you guys so much, i am going to miss all of you more than i can express. thank you for being so beautiful.
joe	Feb 25 2008 2:27 PM Damn I miss you guys! I can't make it on Friday, but keep playing shows and I'm going to trek it on up there to see you. ~President of the Olympia chapter of the Israfel fan club
joe	Feb 21 2008 9:55 AM Hey, uh, do you guys have any turtles?
(devorah)	Feb 20 2008 6:28 PM I think we should all have a party up in Indianola after the show? Yeah yeah anybody?
dead	Feb 13 2008 2:02 AM Another Coastal Cafe show? Nos! I'll have to be there, gangstas! I know friday night's dodgeball, but I rarely go anymore anyway, plus doughnut fest is drawing remarkably close! Woot!

cries for normin	Jan 24 2008 5:47 AM what ever
cries for normin	Jan 21 2008 4:41 AM do you guys always play sleeping the day a way that slow? i dont know if i like it. i mean i still love the song, i just dont know about that tempo.
dead	Jan 20 2008 8:40 PM I totally am gonna make Israfel: The musical or some other working title but you get the general premise from that one at least.
dead	Jan 19 2008 1:29 AM It's almost showtime! You guys up first?
dead	Jan 18 2008 9:12 PM Yeah you play your heavenly tunes, I'll bring the apocalypse!
dead	Jan 18 2008 8:25 AM $5? Damn, plus ferry? That's right I'm a cheap bastard! Let us dance! Raphael mother fuckers? You don't get it? Hint: Ask Alex. Jonah, you should get it too, if you don't I'm disappointed. Plus I mean it's not even a true Israfel show I mean Israfel is there but it's not an Israfel show, you guys will probably only play for a little over half an hour, plus the bremerton ferry takes like forever and I don't really like the city of bremerton and it is dodgeball nite and Kelsey and Bethany were in town they wanted me and the lady to go to an italian place all at 7 on friday night! And if you think I've talked myself out of going at this point, you're wrong mister! Yeah that's right baby, I'll be there as long as I can find it I'm officially boycottin
