In other news, our LP is recorded and is being mixed and mastered.  Expect a cassette version on John Wilkes Booth Records.  Details about the vinyl release forthcoming.

Back From Tour

We're back from our long weekend on shows with Boxsledder.  Not only are they an excellent band, but they are road dogs of the highest caliber and we had an excellent time over the four days we played with them.  Listen to them HERE and buy their record HERE.  Thanks to everyone who came out to a show and hung out, especially those who let us play in and sleep at their houses.

We've got a handful leftover shirts from tour that you can pick up HERE.  Local people can grab some at our show with Tenement, Night Birds, Give, and Snake Handler on 3/29 along with the last handful of our live on the radio tapes.  Seeya there.

Skeletal Lightning Fest

In addition to the excellent shows with Boxsledder and the boss gig with Tenement, Night Birds, and Give listed in the last post, we're also playing the first day of a fest in Champaign-Urbana, IL.  Here's the low down:

4/5/13 @ 8PM
Red Herring, Champaign-Urbana, IL

We play second at 9:30.  Come scope it out if you're in the area.

Righteous Gigs on the Horizon

We've got some stuff happening!  First off, we're doing a weekend of Midwest shows with our friends Boxsledder.  Here's the low down so far:

3/7 - Milwaukee, WI w/ Tenement, Appleseeds
3/8 - Madison, WI
3/9 - Minneapolis, MN @ The Shack w/ Matthew Day, The New McCarthys
3/10 - Cedar Falls, IA @ Rat Nest w/ Strong City, Lipstick Homicide, Lover's Speed

Any suggestions are welcome, but everything should be getting worked on.
Additionally, we're playing this AWESOME show at the end of March in Chicago.

3/29 @ Township w/ Night Birds, Tenement, Give, Snake Handler

Do you see that lineup?!?!?

In other news, our LP is very nearly recorded.  We've mostly got some finishing touches and a few songs to redo/finish up vocals on.  News on that when it becomes apparent.  We've also got some live tapes and new shirts around.  I'll put them up online once we're home from the weekend, but if you want one now send us an email.  Thanks for the continued support!
