Summer tour update and more

Summer tour is pretty fucking close to being completely booked.  This is the tour flier.  It's not 100% up to date, but it's close enough.  I'll post the full list of confirmed dates and shit at the bottom of this

As it says on the flier, we're doing a weekend with Scaring Sparrows this weekend to kick off the tour.  We're playing Sacramento on Sunday at a record store aptly called Records in downtown Sac.  It's a tour kick off of sorts, and we haven't played Sac in a while, and don't plan to for a while, so if you can, come hang out and make it good.  Plus it's a fucking free show.  When does that ever happen?

Update

I'm pretty bad at actually keeping this thing updated. Oh well, looks like I have some catching up to do for anyone that reads this


Tour went great. Definitely one of the funnest times I've had, mostly thanks to We are the Kids. Those dudes rule. Played some good shows, met some good people, had some good fun all around. Can't wait to do it again

Other than that, we recently parted ways with our vocalist, Eric. For various reasons. There's no hard feelings, everyone is still cool. We're all going to take over vocal duties, so we won't be finding a new lead vocalist. We also added a second guitarist, our good friend Chris. We're writing a bunch of new songs (which will make you shit your pants), and the old ones are being re recorded with new vocals, so look out for both of those soon.



The split with Internal Conflict is also underway. We're slackers and haven't recorded our side yet, but IC's side is almost done and sounds fucking insane. Four (or five? I'm not 100% on that) IC songs on one side and two, maybe three, of ours on the other. Released by Holy Smoke/Hungry Ghost/Night Owl. A ton of shows are planned as well.



And in case you haven't heard them, please go listen to Flower Violence right now. Seriously one of the best bands in Sacramento.
Go right now

Summer tour is in the process of being booked. There's still a ton of holes in it, so if you can help out in anyway, that would be rad. I'll post them a little later if I get the time haha.

Other than that, I can't really think of anything else. So whatever.

NEW EP DONE!

Recording is done and mixing is being done as I copy and paste this. Which means we should have EPs at the show Friday, even if we have to personally burn each one for you. Fuck it.


We'll also have new shirts, a new song, and tons of other new, fresh, and exciting goodies for your mass consumption or whatever.



Come hang out

We're also playing Reno on Saturday with We are the Kids (duh) and Media Blitz from Socal, along with some locals. It's going down at the HQ, 528 Sinclair St. RENO, Nevada. . We haven't been in Reno in a few months. Hopefully we can see some familiar faces?

Small update

We got another new bassist. We're also recording right now. We're playing with MDC Sunday. We leave for tour in two weeks.

Re recorded EP will be out by tour, along with new shirts. Hopefully the seven inch will be out by the time we leave for summer, but I doubt it.

Spring tour is totally booked, some things got moved around, but it's good to go now. Summer tour is being booked right now, we've got some good shows booked.


If you live in Sacramento go to Branch St. House tomorrow to see Touche Amore. One of the best bands out right now in my opinion

Change of plans

Before we release our new record, we're going to do a split with our friends in Internal Conflict (www.myspace.com/internalconflictcali). We're going to have two songs on one side, and they will have 5 or so on the other side. Different covers, hand numbered, the works. It's going to be sick. Expect that soon

Also, we're re recording our EP and re releasing with new artwork and such. It's going to be good. So we'll have the new EPs for tour, and the 7inch split hopefully by summer. After we come back, we will write more stuff for our 10 inch, record it, and release it. If all goes well, we will release the 10 inch in late summer, early fall and tour off of that for a few weeks in the fall. We have big plans that are starting to pan out, so hopefully everything works out the way we anticipate.

Tour is Finalized

April 3rd - The Garage, Olivehurst, CA

April 4th - The HQ, Reno, NV

April 5th - The Taylorsville House, Taylorsville, UT

April 6th - The Blast-O-Mat, Denver, CO

April 7th - The Amped, Albuquerque, NM

April 8th - No Man's Land, El Paso, TX

April 9th - Dry River, Tucson, AZ

April 10th - Pharaohs' Den, Riverside, CA

April 11th - Java lounge, Sacramento, CA

We are also now apart of Hungry Ghost Collective out of Baton Rouge, LA.  They will be helping us release our 10 in, along with Night Owl Collective and Holysmokes records.

News about the new record

The 7 inch we were planning on releasing is now going to be a 10 inch. Mainly because our new songs are a lot longer than originally anticipated and we didn't want to cut anything out. So we're just going to put it all on a 10 inch.

Also, since it will most likely not be out for our spring tour, we are going to be bringing a cd version along with us. Probably a limited run, only about 100 or 200. All hand screened covers on cardboard sleeves, hand numbered, and probably shrink wrapped by hand as well. April 3rd will be the release for that, and if all goes well, May 16th will be the release for the 10 inch.

We only have on open date on our spring tour left. If anyone can help us get a date in Albuquerque, NM area on April 7th, that would be rad!
