Our brand new movie shorts, the Isotopes' Public Service Announcement and the Merchandise Commercial, have been added to this site for your viewing pleasure. Check out these and all the other sweet vids we've created on our Video Page.

The last show of the year will be the karoake show at the Bug Jar the night before Thanksgiving. Bass playing extraordinaire Trent Steele has a baby on the way later this month, and guitar shredding ace Lance Uppercut is expecting in December. All the best to these two in the future and we look forward to their eventual replacements. Go Topes!

Finally the new CD has been released! If you didn't make it out to the show last night, you better have a good excuse. Thanks to everyone in the packed room for coming out and supporting us. Everyone who was there witnessed the debuts of Go-Go Dancers Molly Tov Cocktease and Jean Creamer and keyboard player Dick Fitzwell. All fine additions to a lineup that was already pretty freakin' sweet.

If you're here to see the two new videos we premiered last night, they're not up yet, but very soon. Check back.

Everyone who came down to the parade for Labor Day got their doctor recommended daily dose of rock from, you guessed it, the Isotopes! We should have some new photos and video from it up here soon.

Coming up is the much anticipated CD release show for Sounds of the Subatomic World, the Isotopes first full-length release in 3.5 years. Along with this release, the Topes will be unveiling 2 brand new video shorts that were just filmed. Warning: after watching the merchandise commercial, you will buy multiple t-shirts.

Brand new videos from the Water Street show have been added to our Video Page. Check out some of the highlights of the night including the swing classic Sing, Sing, Sing and guest singer Kevin O'Connor performing Neil Diamond's America. There are six vids in all and we'll probably add more soon because the video came out SWEET!!!

Holy crap there were a lot of people at Water Street this past Friday. Thanks to everyone who made it out, except for those guys who were stabbing themselves. They probably should've stayed home. Next time there's an act between bands, we'll try to find one that doesn't tell the audience to "f*ck off" while performing. Of course, preceding and following the Topes is not easy.

Make sure to check back to this site soon, we'll have video from the show that was probably our biggest production to date. BML went out with a bang and we really appreciate them setting up that show so we could make up for the January debacle.

New CD by the end of summer. . .maybe.

Some bands might take some time off when their drummer breaks his ankle, not the Isotopes! In their hiatus your heroes learned at least one or two new songs and I think Handsome changed some notes in one of the solos.

Most importantly though, they redesigned their website to reflect the band's asskickery and sweetitude! This slick new design is intended to optimize the user experience through strategically positioned media and navigational simplicity. Please let us know what you think, email the Topes: spitbeer@theisotopes.com.

The Isotopes were not able to perform at their last scheduled show Jan. 26 at Water Street Music Hall. Unfortunately, although he rarely gets the better of us, Atom Smasher was able to sabotage the show by breaking Hercules Rockefeller's ankle. Thanks to Tom Foolery and the Shannanighans for stepping up at the last minute and filling in for us.

The Topes will out of commission for a few months but watch for a return in the Spring. Also, there will be a brand new CD coming out soon.

Thanks to everyone who came down to the Bug Jar for our Annual Christmas Show. Those people who were close enough to the stage got to see our brand new movie The Making of: How the Isotopes Saved Easter (A Sneak Peak). Now it's available to those who didn't elbow their way to the front. Check out our Video Page to watch the new movie and a couple of songs from that show.

Updated - 12/05/06

New Video!  Check out the teaser for the trailer for the making-of documentary of the brand new Isotopes Easter Special!

Updated - 10/23/06

The new disc has been recorded and we can humbly say that it is the best recording ever made by a Rochester band. But that shouldn't surprise anyone. What should surprise you is that we're actually charitable enough to have a couple of the brand new songs available for FREE on our website! Go to our Audio Page to check out the new tunes.

Updated - 09/20/06

Thanks to everyone who made the voyage on the Genesee River with the Isotopes. The event was such a success that we may just do another one in the Spring, but with a bigger boat and more drugs. Watch for video clips from that event appearing on the site soon.

In other news, the Topes return to the studio with their newest addition, guitarist Lance Uppercut, in mid-October. The new CD will be available in early 2007.

So the Topes had another run-in with their arch-nemisis Atom Smasher, this time on 98.9FM. We have updated our Press page with audio from that radio appearance. Also, any time an Isotope or any member of their immediate or extended family is mentioned in any type of publication, you'll find it on the press page just to make it look like we get a ton of pub. Perhaps Atom Smasher is right, we really are the most over-exposed band in Rochester. Oh wait, I forgot about that band with the old people in it, Atomic Swindlers.

Also, our Merchandise page has been redesigned and updated with all the latest Topes' merch. Except of course for those items that would land us in federal prison with Tommy Chong.

We just updated our Video page with some sweet footage from our show at the Bug Jar over Memorial Day weekend. Extra special thanks to Mike Schroedder and Marty Sindon for filming and Grant Heberger for doing a phenomenal job editing. Check out the beautiful go-go dancers as well as the smokin' hot Eddie Nebula, our guest musician that night.

The Isotopes would like to thank Asbury Lanes and Unsteady Freddie for having us over July 4th weekend. We had a great time and were treated like the rock stars we are. Special thanks to Mike and Sandy from NESMA for making the long trip to NYC and for the great show review!

Happy Mexican Drinking Day everybody! Check out the Videos section for brand new footage from the Labor Day Parade. Yeah, the Isotopes play parades, so what, what are you gonna do about it?

The Isotopes' friends over at HeavyRoc.com decided they couldn't resist the topes' advances any longer and made them the Band of the Month for March. Check out the interview here.

The Isotopes are five! The month of January marks The Isotopes five year anniversary. Yep in this month five years ago The Isotopes were born and weighed 6 lbs 2 ounces and their genitals weighed in at a massive 150 lbs. So make sure you email us and wish us a Happy Birthday. Or don't... fine.

"Congratulations guys, from the moment I met ya I knew that you all were a pretty big deal. Thanks for shattering any hopes I had of a professional announcing career. Mazel Tov!"

Wonder what happened to theisotopes.com all last week? Were you going through withdrawal by not being able to view the most prolific "scientist/musician/underwear model" guys around? Well we're back now. Our super computer, Commodore 64, crashed and it never backed itself up. Bad 64, ...bad. Anyways, we are back up on our new super computer, Colecovision, and are running like Chesty LaRue's fishnet stockings after she gets done loading our equipment for us. Thanks for your patience and you can now resume your lustful, tissue filled late nights of viewing... The Isotopes website.

Did you miss the Christmas show? Were you there but couldn't see the movie because the setup totally sucked? Great news, the movie is now available on this site for your viewing and downloading pleasure. Check out the Videos section.

Also, as if you didn't get enough cool crap from the Topes for Christmas, we now have tracks from our newly recorded, yet-to-be released CD on the Audio section. Yeah, you're welcome! And remember, GO TOPES!

Updated - 12/03/05

Ho ho ho! The Isotopes have begun (and almost completed) shooting for "How The Isotopes Save Christmas", the new "family" oriented special from The Isotopes movie director Greg Herman.  The 'Topes have only one chance to save Christmas (and their unbelievably kick ass Xmas show) from their evil arch nemesis, Atom Smasher.  Will the 'Topes save Christmas?  Will Santa survive to deliver all of your presents?  Will the Topes ever get a budget larger than $100 worth of beer, drugs and Santa suit rentals?  2 out of 3 ain't bad.  Be sure to check out this blockbuster production featuring a cast of local faves and of course, the Isotopes GoGos.  Look out for the brand new Isotopes pint glasses available at the next show, picture soon.

Updated - 09/28/05

The 'Topes are going into the studio this weekend and next for a brutal new recording with the help of Doug White at Watchmen Studios.
