Hey Buffalo.  We are gonna play a show at the beginning of the year.  You should really come out.  It's gonna be cheap fun.  Buy tickets online!

As you don't need this blog to find out, we posted the 2nd annual kindo What Child Is This. Merry Christmas! Hopefully, this will not be the last Christmas post either.

To celebrate, I have posted the annual Kindo tradition of 'O Holy Night'. This will not be the first christmas post!

Hey Friends!

We are getting very excited as we prepare to leave the USA for blessed Japan.  We are playing only a few dates over there, but are glad to finally perform for all of our Japanese fans.

We have been busy writing the new record and are preparing to film some live studio performances of both old and new material in the coming months.  We miss touring, but hopefully it won't be long before we can hit that road again.

Fall is here.  My favorite season.

Thanks for listening to and sharing our music, folks!

Joey

Hey all. We have begun recording and writing a new record. We would love for you to stalk us discretely by following us at Twitter.com/thereignofkindo. Also, we are going back to japan. Very excited about the new material. We'll talk more soon. Joe.

hello all,

Our bestest bud Jeff Martin will be playing some shows acoustically and it would please us very much if you supported him when/if he plays in your city.

Jeff would also like all reply's about this to be sent to jeffmartin@111records.com. Do not reply here for no response will be given and you will be destroyed.

Also, they are some very cool things that have happened to The Reign of Kindo lately. We will update you all very soon!

Hi, hello; How are you?

So as it turns out, I still like music… I might even love it.
Believe it or not, I still like the songs that I sang when I was in a band called this day and age.

So here is the plan:

I (jeff martin) am planning on playing 8 or 10 or 12 solo/acoustic shows in the fall (as thisdayandage).. this day and age is not reuniting; this is simply for fun, for those of you who love(d) our band, who started enjoying our music  after we parted ways, and who thought our sets were not a balanced mix of “always leave the ground” / “bell and hammer” songs.. for these shows, I want YOU to help create the set each night.. I will do my best to play any song from either of our albums…. this will be great and exciting and adventurous, don’t you think?

You could even begin emailing me ( HYPERLINK "mailto:jeffmartin@111records.com" jeffmartin@111records.com) your ideas of a “perfect” TDAA set list as well as what cities I should come to.. We could be friends (maybe we already are).. the goal is for you to be singing just as much as I am at these shows. (oh and also let me know what cover song(s) I should do).

I hope this letter finds you well, and I sincerely hope you will attend these special shows. maybe you and your friends could plan a road trip, because I’m not sure that there will be anything like this to follow.

It would be quite helpful if you could spread the word. dust off your thisdayandage albums and let’s make these shows memorable… the idea of this is literally for you (and completely pointless without you).. I will see you soon.

PS: the other guys (who were in thisdayandage) are still alive and well and my best friends.. they are (present tense) in an incredible band called the reign of kindo. Please support them.

Much love,
(jeff)

PPS: I just finished recording four songs.. I’m excited to share them; they will be available at these shows.

Hey everyone,
Hope that you are all well. A couple quick things:

Ever wanted to own a Reign of Kindo hoodie?? Well, the first piece of news is that the new Kindo hoodie is available at 111store.com.

Also:


"111 Records is offering some crazy deals on old This Day & Age CDs. You can buy a brand new box of 30 of the last TDA album direct from 111 Records for only $30 and sell each copy to your friends and family for as much as you want. If you sold each disc for $5, you would profit $120! If you sold each for $10, you would profit $270!

We are starting with just one box to gauge the interest level but we have hundreds (of boxes) available. If we're not quick enough to make more boxes available on eBay, please email us at info@111records.com. Oh and shipping is FREE!

Thanks guys.

Hey all,

We leave for tour on Friday!! Yep, this Friday. I hope that by reading this you become aware. I hope that by being aware you look at the dates. I hope that upon seeing a date that is close to you, you will recruit at the very least 400 people to come join you at that venue for a fun and candy-filled evening with the kindo gentlemen. There is a lot of hope here, it is up to you to not shatter it.

As for the new song, it will be up soon. It is actually our Japanese bonus track that our wonderful label in Japan gave us permission to share with you Americans for a short while. Maybe THEN you'll look at our dates.

Thanks friends, hope to see you VERY SOON!!!
