Hey,

We've been a little lazy about posting some of our media coverage. Some people may think that means we're not active, but that's not the case at all. Until we can find more of the coverage, here's some stuff that's come out in the past year or so....

NBC Nightly News from SXSW '09:

Piece 1

Piece 2

It was super fun to play in Austin. It looks like we're going to be playing again at SXSW on the Middle East/North Africa stage with Rachid Taha. Thanks to everyone who came out, we'll see you next year!!

Metal Waves:

Al-Thawra Interview

This shit is from Tunisia. Besides that Nox Magazine piece that came out last year, this is one of the best ones to come out of the Middle East itself.

Mother Jones Magazine Jan '09:

Mother Jones Clipping on Photographer, Chris Dilts's site

This piece took a while to come out. Chris Dilts came out and took a bunch of amazing photos about a year after they came out to review our initial show. XD

Shift:

Review of a show at our house w/ The Kominas

A different version of this piece is going to be in the Chicago Sun-Times some time this weekend. If anyone has the chance, pick it up and check it out.


Alright, we know there's a ton more shit out there, but we'll post it later. Someday we're going to collect all this shit and put it in some kind of comprehensive media kit, but that's all for now.

As always, let us know what you think!!!

That's some pretty cool exposure, guys!  SXSW is always awesome; I hope you'll get to go back next year. 

A friend of mine lived in Tunisia about 15 years ago.  He said he was amazed now much western music made its way there, despite the fact that there was almost no distribution for "non-megastar" acts like Anthrax and Type O Negative in the Middle East.  Pretty cool that they have a punk press, as well.
