Good afternoon, Kids!

We did it. We got a Twitter account, and we're all still struggling to figure out the point of it, but we got one! Here it is:
twitter.com/awilhelmscreamwe'll be putting forth an honest effort to not forget about this and update you with 140 characters of passion/intrigue as much as humanly possible.
NEXT ON THE LIST OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT... A WILHELM SCREAM'S EUROPEAN VACATION.
We've been off the road for way too goddamn long... it's unfair to you kids. We gotta clean up and get back ontop of this "touring" thing that we usually do. And what better way to do that? Playing for you CRAZY fucking Europeans... We're starting out in Prague on the 20th playing playing with the Mad Caddies and our "BRUTHAS-FROM-OTHA-MUTHAS" The Flatliners... and then headlining/stumbling our way upwards to Reading and Leeds... now, with that - I gotta get this off my chest... We're playing AFTER Chuck Ragan?! and BEFORE Municipal Waste?! We're pretty quick at loading off stage, but we're going to break the "world's fastest loadout" record to watch MW - It's not because we want to - it's because we need to, and when you need something, that's an adult responsibility.
One last thing, there's a ton of sweet special-guest-stars with this run of shows. We get a few sexy one-night-band-stands with The Flats and Polar Bear Club - and we get to see our old tour-mates FAILSAFE and ALL IDOLS FALL (two bands that if you haven't heard, you should check them out... two great bands that we've drank off a few hangovers with).
and the NEW, NEW, ... NEWS...
WE'RE COMIN' BACK TO AUSSY IN FEB/MARCH! FUCKIN' SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL...
The last tour in Australia was absolutely mind-blowing for us... some of the greatest shows we've ever played... and we're happy to announce that we are part of this years
SOUNDWAVE FESTIVAL... Honestly guys/gals - the line up for this festival is fucking ridiculous, so I'm just going to list the bands that I'm ridiculously stoked on: FAITH NO MORE, SUNNY DAY REAL ESTATE, ALEXISONFIRE, COMEBACK KID, GALLOWS, ANTI-FLAG, REEL BIG FISH, THE WEAKERTHANS, ANVIL (who, if you haven't seen the movie about them, you should), THE CREEPSHOW... (wow, there's going to be so many Canadians on stage at these festivals... haha)... and a whole ton of other bands - OH, WE'RE PLAYING WITH PARAMORE?!... Man, that's such a The Swellers' thing to do. (I'm sorry Nick, I had to put that joke in here somewhere).
Go scope out that link... it's actually insane... we're so stoked to be a part of this festival. 2010's shaping up to kick so much ass.
SO - to recap: add us to twitter, party with us in europe, and get stoked on soundwave. READY? BREAK!
(I'm gonna have a whole other blog for the Canadian/US/Fest8 dates soon).
Aging gracefully,
Britown.
