Funny thing when something that needs to be said or something that you'd like to say, you can't find the words to say it.  

This past Saturday night one of our close friends and bass player, Brian Redman, was involved in a motor vehicle accident and passed away. Waking up the next morning to the news was very painful. Trying to collect thoughts, reflecting on all the time I had spent with him, rethinking if I had heard it correctly, is he really gone? It just couldn't be. I'll never see my friend again and I am beyond words to describe how that makes me feel.  

I'll never forget Brian Redman, hard to forget a guy that was a walking party. No matter who came in contact with Brian, they were instantly attracted to him. He was one of the most sincere, sarcastic, witty, intelligent, talented guys that you would meet. Even if he was having a bad day, he put on a happy face to raise the spirits of those around him. He was a good...no, he was a great friend to all those that he cared for and cared for him.  

As I sit and type this, I still can't find the words to say what I would like to say. I'd like to write every single memory of the past 12 years with Brian, I can't wrap my head around them to write them down, besides...I don't think anyone would understand some of them other than me and him, that leaves me completely hurt and sad that I will never be able to say "hey, remember when..."

Last time I saw Brian, he was running around in a pink tutu and corpse paint...that's the Brian that I loved and will never forget. Life of the party.  
Brian was one of the greatest people that I had in my life, I will never forget him and I will miss him every single day.  

I love you Brian Redman.

We're playing another show on April 22nd at the Vera Project in Seattle. We'll be playing with 108, Pulling Teeth, Wait In Vain, Parasitic Skies and others. Should be a good time. The place is small and a good amount of tickets have already sold, we're not saying this show will sell out, but there is a possibility.

http://www.ticketweb.com/t3/sale/SaleEventDetail?dispatch=loadSelectionData&eventId=959874

We're also figuring out some more shows for Europe, South America and US shows later this year. We don't have exact dates...but they'll be late Summer/Fall when, and if, they happen. We'll keep everyone updated. We're also going to be re-releasing a 10 Year Anniversary Expanded Edition of our 1999 LP, "Are These Our Lives?". It will have the full lyrics and expanded explanations of all the songs and it will only be $7.00. Panic Records will be releasing this in time for the April 22nd show in Seattle.

I think that's everything right now. We'll post more information as it becomes available to us. The chakras are aligned.

Originally, I wasn't psyched at all on the Reunion DVD. When I initially saw the footage of the Seattle Reunion shows, I was completely disappointed. The angles didn't look good to me, the shots that were there, I felt missed things that I wanted in there. Overall...I thought...this DVD was going to be bad. Granted, I was only watching one camera at a time, still though...it just didn't seem like the ones who filmed, although they did their best, didn't catch everything I was hoping for.

I think that's why the DVD took as long as it has to get moving. After lots of people asking about the DVD, wanting to have it. I decided it was time to get a move on it, what we had, was what we had and we'd make the best of it.

4 months ago I began working night and day and compiling as many extras as I could find to include on the DVD, it grew to a 2 disc DVD set. I wanted to make sure it had enough stuff to overshadow the idea that I had that the Seattle footage wasn't so hot. At least then, I wouldn't feel like kids were getting ripped off.

I was so wrong in my thinking that the Seattle Reunion show would be awful to watch. With the skills of John EightClip...he took the footage and made it look as though we had the best camera crew ever.

I just got the Edits of the DVD's and it all looks so amazing to me. I would have never imagined. John EightClip is seriously my hero. I can't even express to you how excited I am for everyone to see this DVD. A lot of work went into it and the end result is something that I'm proud of. I hope everyone else will be just as psyched. Looks like the preorders will be shipping in about 2 weeks. So psyched right now.

Thank you John!

The Trial Reunion has come and gone. So many old friends friends came out of the woodwork for this. It was one of the most memorable nights ever. To put into words the crazines...forget it. It was insane. Thank you for everyone that travelled 1 to 5000 miles to be there with us. I still stand awestruck that people would spend that kind of time and money to see Trial. To know that Trial means as much to others as much as it does to us, is incredible. Most people know that we are flying to Budapest to play a show. From what I can tell, not many know that we are also playing London. We're going to be playing London England on November 18th at the Barfly, there are still tickets available and you can purchase them from ticketweb.co.uk. Please spread the word about this show as there hasn't been much promotion for it, and we're afraid that people don't know much about it. The Budapest show is completely sold out now. Zoli and Norbi have busted their ass for this show and also in helping with the London show. We can't express how grateful we are for their help. Budapest is going to be a great show with awesome bands and great friends. All Trial merch that was ordered at the Reunion has been sent off. You should be receiving in shortly. If you were unable to make the Reunion and wanted a shirt, we've made them available for mailorder. You can pick them up from www.panicrecords.net Reunion Shirts, Hoodies, Windbreakers and Show posters are all available now. I think that's about all the news at the present time. I'll try to give a recap of the London and Budapest Reunion shows as soon as they go down. Also try to get some pictures up from the reunion shows too. Timm XXX

October 9th is getting closer. For those who are looking for tickets...sorry, the show is sold out. Neumos says they will open the curtains around the club so that those who were unable to get tickets can stand outside and watch from the street. You can mosh the passerbys. Again, there are NO tickets left for this show. Please don't ask us for tickets, we DO NOT have any. We have added one more show to the list of reunions. We'll be playing the UK on Friday November 18th. Since we have to stop there to catch a connecting flght to Budapest Hungary, we thought throwing in another show couldn't hurt. This will be at the Barfly in London, with The Break In, The Versus Project and November Coming Fire. The capacity is 250. Our friend DaveO says that there is a lot of interest in the show already and it will sell out. As soon as tickets are announced, don't wait around, get a ticket right away.
