Recording..

We've been pretty productive this Holiday break. Thus far we've gotten all the drum tracks, most of the bass and half of the guitar tracking done. Check our mobile uploads bin for pictures...

Chicago / Columbus / St Louis

Here are some pictures from our show at the Elbo Room and in Chicago.


Bernie's is a Great little Punk Rock Basement. Locals Rustmoth were so cool and supportive. We can't WAIT to come back to Columbus. We had 3 comedians open the show and that was such a fun transition into the rock.



We had a super time last night in St Louis. Four bands cancelled but Carridale, Illicitizen, and Hear Me Roar still managed to kill it in the Lounge at FUBAR. Superb bar, great sound.
Pics:

Peter Wochniak took a bunch of pictures of us so be looking for those soon.
Sorry to be so brief but we need to hit the road if we are going to be in Memphis in time to say hi to Elvis (and ancient Greece). I will hopefully be posting a more complere accounting when I get back to the Queen City.
Ciao.

great show w/ Rustmoth in Columbus. Have to eat and crash for tomorrow brings hell-driving to St Louis .

Nov 8 INDIANA IS BIG

Wow I had no idea we would be spending so much time in Indiana. Traveling from Cincinnati to Chicago allows you a lot of time to think about... well everything. Some noteworthy things I saw. Some crazy looking deciduous trees that had some kind of fruit or flower that was pale yellow and round like a tennis ball. The leaves were all gone. No idea what they were and at 70mph zipping up I-65 I don't think I will have a chance to figure it out. Also Northern IN has a serious wind farm you can see for miles out on I-65. Those things are both creepy and beautiful.
Also as a non-sports enthusiast I would like to lobby for our own lane. Da Bears were letting out when we got to Chicago so the trip to the motel was about 1.5 hrs of creeping on the freeway.
Here are some pics. We're off to find some dinner before heading to Bernie's Distillery. We are currently about 8 miles away @ the motel.I will upload the rest of this set of pics and some from the show in Chicago that ROB DUMAS was so gracious to come out and take. Thanks @stray!

Sorry to all the fine bands that rocked the Blue Rock Tavern. Our cam battery died right after we got there. Here are the pics up until that point.

Nov 6. Pt 2


Details later...must sleep

Nov 6. We Made it to Nashville, Mom.

Putting the ROCK to Rockslide we finally got around that sucker on I-40. Emerson, we finally opted for 321 to Johnson City. I don't know if we'll do that on the way back. Maria and mountains do not mix well.

We got started at 5am this morning and were on the road shortly after 6. The mission began the night before with the ritual shaving of the singer's head. Here are some pictures. If you are in the N Nashville TN area tonight, ride up to the Loudhouse in Greenbrier TN for the show.
