Weekend In Revie

So we got back late last night from a 3-day weekend that took us to Philadelphia, Cambridge and Providence.

We felt like we played awesome Friday night to one of the best crowds we've ever had. Thank you to everyone in Philadelphia, especially for Dennis from The Terrordome for allowing us to get on the show last minute, and our good buddy/art supplier Diana Palermo for putting us up. We will be back at the same venue on January 4th with Backslider, Lotus Fucker, Brainkiller, Scapegoat and Nothing Is Over. It will be awesome.

Saturday night we played a show with some Boston hardcore bands. We had some technical issues and honestly didn't have our sound together, but still felt we played well. Our sincerest gratitude to Tom from Draize and his friend Kim for getting us the show.

Sunday we played a less than packed show at AS220 but made up for it. After hours of a mixture of window-shopping closed stores (what's going on Providence?), Egyptian Ratscrew and Adrian studying dutifully, we got to the venue way early and befriended our new best jailbait friends Thursday Night Anthem. We also played one of our best sets ever and want to thank our buddy Emily Shaw for coming out.
The show was also recorded and though the sound isn't perfect, it is pretty great, so we'll probably include a song or two on our 2010 Tour CD-R.

We have one show left this year: the Lotus Fucker record release on December 18th. (flier in post below). It's at St. Stephen's Church in DC!

...then we have winter tour (we should have the final route/list of stops up in a few weeks).

After winter tour we'll probably play a show or two with our friends Brickmower and spend most of February recording between 5-10 new songs which we'll release throughout the year.

Spring break tour, summer tour, break, second LP after that. Sound good? Sweet.

Update 11/16/2009

So this weekend we played two awesome shows. We played Saturday night with our good buddies Math The Band from Providence and Bang Bang Eche from New Zealand. It was the latter's last US date after a two-plus week US tour, and if you missed 'em, they aren't coming back to the states for a few months at least, so bummer for you. But we all agreed it was our best show, and thanks to the Glass Door in Brooklyn for hosting it.

Last night in New Brunswick we played with the best lineup that's ever graced my basement: Mirrors and Wires, Deathrats from Maryland, Foreign Objects from Mass and Dead Uncles from Connecticut. Needless to say every band was incredibly amazing and you should do everything you can to hear all of the music from the above bands.

Our next move is a three day weekend this upcoming weekend. Here are the details:

Friday 11.20 The Whitney House in Hartford, CT
Saturday 11.21 The Democracy Center in Cambridge, MA
Sunday 11.22 AS220 in Providence, RI

After that we are recording a Tour CD-R which will include some songs we've had written for a while and didn't formally release on Wound. We will have these on our winter tour. Our next show, however is December 18th at St. Stephen's Church in Washington, DC for Lotus Fucker's record release weekend. Here is the flier for it:
