Hello friendos,

#1 I would just like to let you know that I am already planning a September-time supplementary addendum tour of Midwestern cities that I wasn't able to fit into the summertime tour schedule.  Later in the year, I am hoping to also do an additional supplementary addendum tour of Southern states that did not fit into the summer tour or the September supplementary addendum tour.  If you would like me to come play a show in your town, and particularly if you would like to help set up a show in your town, please write to me at casiotonetechsupport@gmail.com.  I swear I am not trying to be a jerk to anyone's city or state.  There are simply more places than I am able to fit into one big tour.  Thanks for your understanding, and I encourage your comments and emails.

And now here is what I believe will the final word on the North American Summer Tour.

Hello team,

I will be playing two shows in February:

2/12- Manhattan, NY @ NYU (Kimmel Center)
2/27- Chicago, IL @ Subterranean

Both shows are all ages! You can find more info HERE.

The other news is that two new Casiotone for the Painfully Alone full lengths will be released in the spring. ADVANCE BASE BATTERY LIFE, the singles & rarities compilation, comes out in early March. VS. CHILDREN, the new album with actual new songs somes out in early April. You can see the cover art & tracklistings HERE.

I also wanted to tell you that the band called Papercuts have recorded a lovely cover of the Casiotone for the Painfully Alone song "Baby It's You." I am super flattered because I really, really like that band. Thank you Papercuts. You can download a free MP3 HERE.

SXSW & Europe/UK tour news coming soon! Thanks for reading!

Take Me to Your Leader
By King Geedorah
Release date: 2003-06-17

I did a remix for Headlights' new remix CD, REMIXES, & it comes out TODAY. REMIXES also features remixes of Headlights songs by people like The Album Leaf, Son Lux, The Buddy System, Cale Parks, & T.J Lipple of Aloha. REMIXES!!! The thing that I did is for a song called "So Much For The Afternoon," & I sing on it. Actually, it kind of just sounds like I hijacked Headlights & made them be my backing band for a couple of minutes. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, & it's sort of the closest thing to a new Casiotone for the Painfully Alone song for the time being.

Anyway, you can buy a CD HERE, or, if you'd rather download it, it's also available from a lot of those places that want to sell you downloads.
