Hey Kids,….
….
Wanted to let you all know that I’ll be hosting MTV’s SUBTERRANEAN this Sunday, November 8th at 2 AM on MTV2…..
….
Yes, super late, I know but we all know about TiVo J and we all know about staying up late with a few friends and a few beers so don’t be a bunch of wooss bags, mmmkay…..
….
Anyhow, I had an amazing time recording this because I had a chance to get down to Brooklyn, NY and get a tattoo at a great shop appropriately called Brooklyn Tattoo (http://www.myspace.com/brooklyntattoo) by a great guy named Willie Paredes…..
….
We did it back in September when I took a trip to New York City, one of my favorite places in the world. ….
….
Willie was great. Great energy, nicest guy and about 3 feet taller than me. Call me weird but I’ve been tattooed a lot and the energy of the person who is tattooing you can actually make a difference in the amount of pain you experience and this tat was a breeze…..
….
Tune in to see what I got done AND also tune in to see me and my cocky self in action AND on top of that you’ll get to see The Cliks video for DIRTY KING. Now what else could you ask for at 2 AM?….
….
As well, wanted to let you all know that we have 2 very special shows coming up with the new line of The Cliks and with special guests Hunter Valentine…..
….
….
DECEMBER 11th -….
BROOKLYN NY @ The Knitting Factory….
Doors: 7 PM….
Show Time: 8 PM….
….
DECEMBER 12th-….
CAMBRIDGE. MA @ The Middle East….
Doors: 9 PM….
Show Time: 10:30 PM….
….
To all of you who’s cities we have not been able to come to for the last little while, please be patient. The transition in band lost us some tour planning time but do not fear, we will be adding a whole wack of dates for early next year. PROMISE!….
….
And if you’re anywhere near Brooklyn or Cambridge, get your asses in a car, on a bus, and yes, even on a plane to come see these shows because they will be KILLER!….
….
Love you all and can’t wait to see you at the shows…..

Hey kids,Just wanted to write a quick note to say thank you to everyone who came out to Phase Fest in Washington, DC. The show ROCKED!It was an amazing experience to perform with Brian Viglione and Tobi Parks and I am sure it’s an experience that will be repeated.A little up date on what’s up for the next few days…If you live in Toronto, I will be Busking For Warchild, an amazing charitable event tha puts me unplugged on the streets of Toronto.I will be doing 2 half hour sets, 1 right in front of the Horseshoe Tavern on Queen St. West at 12-12:30 PM. The second, right in front of the Much Music offices (CTV Buildng) also on Queen St. West from 1:30-2 PM.Please come down and spare some change for children from war torn countries. Every penny helps!As for touring, we are currently planning and will let you know as soon as we can when we’ll be coming to a town near you.As you all know, we had a little glitch with the band and that put our touring plans on hold so just hang tight because we now have our resources sussed out and will be making our way to you.Love you all and thank you for your ongoing support. I couldn’t do this without you.xoLucas

Dear Cliks Fans,
I am sorry to announce that Morgan Doctor and Jen Benton have decided to leave The Cliks to pursue their own ambitions.
To be blunt, the road beat us up and knocked us out. When we all woke up, we each saw a different road ahead. These things happen, it’s that simple. I respect their decision and hope you will as well.
So what can I say kids, I started this alone, 3 albums and 8 line ups later, in the words of Sir Elton John, “I’m still standing”.
I am as stubborn as a mule and sometimes not the easiest person to work with but that is only because I demand and expect no less than 100% from the people I work with and that will never change and I will never apologize for it.
I started this band as a vehicle for my music and that is exactly what I will continue to do.
And come on now, I am no stranger to change. Line up changes, sex changes, you know, it’s all part of the big plan ☺
So for now, a little patience is required while I look to the new exciting line up that is to be the next Cliks!
So if you want a glimpse of our future candidates come to our show in Washington, DC on September 26th where we will have Brian Viglione of Dresden Dolls fame on drums. http://www.myspace.com/brianviglione
And just think of all the new crushes you can have on the new members!
Maybe we can have so many ongoing member changes that we can start a trading card series. Now that’s a good idea!
Everyone will all sit at shows trying to trade their doubles and the conversations will sound like this:
Girl #1 -”Hey, I have 2 Heidi Chans and no Morgan Doctor. I’ll trade you.”
Girl #2 “No way, I already have a Heidi Chan, how about you give me your Jen Benton for an Ezri Kaysen?”
Girl #1 – “Do you have any idea how long it took me to get this Ezri Kaysen? That is a really rare card. Only 20 in existence. No way. I had to trade one of my Lucas Silveira’s before top surgery for it.”
Girl# 2-”Well forget it then. You suck. Wanna make out?”
Girl#1- “Ok.”Thank you all so much for your ongoing support and for seeing me through thick and thin. I’m a survivor and ain’t nothing gonna keep me down.
Sandra Berhnard said it best about her fans…”Without you, I’m nothing.”
With love and gratitude,
Lucas Silveira
