Update 4/13/2010

We haven't posted anything in almost a month, but a bunch of stuff has been happening or is ready to happen, so let's update you.

We have played only one show in New Brunswick since November, and we have two coming up in the coming weeks. April 23rd with Useless Children from Australia, The Book Slave from Connecticut, and Mattress! This is our last show for the foreseeable future with a live drummer, so get excited about it! We are going to play all the songs we play well, and it's going to kick ass.
The next Monday, April 26th we are playing with MLU (from Nashville!), Kicking Spit, and John Wilkes Youth. This will mark Sis, our drum machine's, live debut. So be sure to come out.

In other show news, our late-Spring tour is almost fully booked! Here is a look at where we are playing city-wise. If it says help next to it, we are totally open to playing anything. Otherwise, someone has booked or is booking the show:

5/28 Grand Rapids, MI
5/29 Chicago, IL
5/30 Milwaukee, WI

We are very excited for this and can't wait to see awesome friends again.

In terms of music, we have a bunch of stuff coming out. Here is a short outline:

Demo Tape With Sis: we have a new batch of songs for our new lineup, and we will be recording these for a tape that we'll have with us on tour.
Split with Lotus Fucker: our best friends in Lotus Fucker and us will be doing a split. Marty and I will be taking some songs we had written but never got to practice as a 4-piece, and working on them. Kamikaze Dan, of Lotus Fucker, will be playing drums on the songs we have for this, and Marty and I, as usual, will split vocal/guitar/bass duties. We plan on recording probably eight songs, the best two of which will go on the split.
Tape with drums: all of the songs we don't use for our split with Lotus Fucker will go on one final tape that will feature our "old style" of songs.

We definitely will be playing some New Brunswick shows in the summer, and perhaps will even be doing another tour (short, 7-10 days) during August. That begs to be seen.

But we are very excited for resuming extreme levels of activity, and hope you will enjoy it, too! Thanks for reading!
