Day number 3

We're watching Jurassic Park 2 at our friend Jackson's house in Chatsworth (LA area) right now. Fuck yes. Just feasted on some spaghetti. Fuck yes x2.

November 28th-
Tour kickoff was wild. We played first and the place reached max capacity before we even finished our set. There was probably 60 people inside and about that many outside. Shit got wild during Grace Alley and Sabertooth Zombie, and nothing got broken, and everyone got paid that needed to get paid, including Java Lounge. That place is awesome. And it was good to hang out with some good friends before we left.

November 29th-
We played a fest in Sanger, CA, a complete shithole town just outside of Fresno. We got there at like 3 and didn't play til about 8. When we get there we notice our trailer is tilted as fuck. So we check it out, and come to find out, the fucking weld on the front part of the tongue is cracked, and the support bar is bent to shit. So we're worried as shit as to what we're going to do, but just decided we would figure it out after the show.

So...it's safe to say that 99% of the bands that played were bullshit Christian scenecore breakdown bands. Dude who booked it was a solid dude, and our friend Jeremy helped run shit and cooked a ton of food, though, so that was cool. Overall though, the show was pretty shitty. So we played at about 8, and right after us was In Desperation, followed by Five Victims Four Graves. In Desperation ruled as always. 5v4g used our gear. Granted, I'm not a big fan of their music, they are super good dudes. And they covered Suicide File. Awesome. A pretty good ending to a horrible show. We ended up leaving with a ton of sodas and water and food that they gave to us, and we headed to Jeremy's house to hang/crash.

November 30th-
Day off. Fuck. We get up at 10 and Jeremy calls his buddy that welds to come out and take a look at our trailer. He gets there, and welds shit up and says all should be good, so we say goodbyes and shit and bust to run some errands. We get ten minutes down the road, if that, and pull into a parking lot and check out the trailer and the fucking weld is broken again. After a bunch of deliberation, we decide the best thing to do is just buy a new one from Home Depot or something. But apparently, no Home Depot in the entire fucking Central Valley sells cheap trailers. We called and/or drove to about 10 Home Depots and none had anything. So we said fuck it and started driving to Bakersfield to see if we can find one there. Not even 30 minutes out, we see a small trailer outlet in the middle of nowhere, so we stop and check it out. They have some shit, and I tell the dude the deal and that we're on a tight budget and he hooks us up fairly well so I said fuck it and bought it. While they're getting the trailer ready (which took way too fucking long-we were there for two hours), the dude is asking us about the band and I say we just play punk music basically. He goes "oh shit, well we got the punk master working for us, let me call him up here" and calls this dude up over the intercom. So ridiculous. He comes out to the van and starts talking to us and I guess told Kyle he'd go find a bunch of old fliers and shit and copy em. He comes out a little while later with some Decry fliers and Reagan Youth fliers and Misfits fliers, all from the 80s. He was also tweaking out of his fucking mind. It was pretty ridiculous, but definitely entertaining. Anyway, we bought the trailer, dumped our old one there, and took off again. Now we're in Chatsworth watching Jurassic Park 2 and Jackson just went to bed. No show tomorrow either. Fuck. Oh well

Recording

Well, we are completely done with tracking drums and guitar for the 10inch. Sounds fucking good.

We leave for tour tomorrow, so we won't be able to finish up until we come back. However, we should have shit pretty soon after that once we record the rest of the parts.

Tour kickoff at Java Lounge tomorrow with Sabertooth Zombie and Grace Alley. Hopefully the building is still in tact after the show

I'm gonna try and keep this updated as frequently as possible. Not sure why I decided to do this because it's not like anyone gives a shit about our band, but it will probably keep me/us entertained. So this will probably serve as a tour blog once we leave, and will be updated with random happenings and shit like that.

So...last weekend we finished up recording for the split tape with Florentine Camerata. Tomorrow we will start recording for our 10 inch. We also have new merch being printed up this week and we will have that shit for tour. A long sleeve as well as a new t shirt design via our good friend Bryce Kresge from Bone Dance fame

Tour is coming up fast, we leave on Sunday for the California Love Fest in Sanger, CA. We only have 3 open days I believe, 2 of which are in Los Angeles. Shitty. But maybe we'll be able to catch up with some friends and hang out and shit. The "tour kickoff" is on Saturday in Sacramento at the Java lounge downtown with Sabertooth Zombie and Grace Alley from San Francisco. I'm sure the mosh will be brought.

After this December tour, we come back for a few days and then leave again for the northwest with our buddies Florentine Camerata on December 31st. We're meeting up with Blocked Out a little over halfway through and doing three dates with them down to Southern California. Then in February, we are doing two northern California dates with our friends Surroundings from Baltimore, Maryland. Band is fucking amazing, and they have a new LP coming out on Free Cake Records before the tour.

We'll be playing a couple of local shows here and there next year I'm sure. And then in April we leave for a 75 day full United States and Canadian tour. We need help with Canada dates, if anyone can help out, please get in contact with us.

Hail Satan.

Writing, recording, touring

So we started writing some more new material yesterday. We are starting to record tomorrow as well. As of right now, our release plans are a split cassette with our really good friends Florentine Camerata in time for our week long northwest tour with them to bring in the new year. And after that, a tentatively self titled 10in. In the next few weeks before tour, we'll be recording a ton of new shit, plus some old stuff and it will be sent off to be mastered soon after.

Tour is almost 100% booked which is exciting in itself. We have a lot of good shows, and hopefully a lot more coming. There will also be some really good bands joining us for portions of the tour.

Been a while

We're writing shit, we have a new bassist, we're playing/hanging/drinking with a bunch of friends this week/weekend, we leave for tour again in a few weeks. At the beginning of tour, we will be recording in Arizona for a few days with our good friend Jared. Stoked for that. Not entirely sure what the shit we will be recording will end up on, but it's tentatively set for an untitled 10" and a bunch of splits and shit.

Nothing I can really think of other than that. Plans for next year and coming together somewhat as well, so if you give a shit, I'll probably post something about them at a later date on here
