ok. so if you're just tuning in here's the deal--
we spent a good deal of last year on the road. about 100 shows all in all... ozzy osbourne taught us all the secrets of dark magic (along with some fine pointers on bat decapitation), we befriended a sasquatch, repelled down honest abe licoln's nose on mt. rushmore, and met marty mcfly... the actual marty mcfly. pretty sweet. everything was going great and the world was our oyster... and then on thanksgiving day in san fransisco we were robbed of every piece of gear we owned. fuck. bummer.
but alas friends, all is not lost! we were saved by the skin of our teeth thanks to an insurance policy we started literally 2 months before the theft. talk about good timing. we were biting our nails for weeks wondering if the check would come through, because lets face it... insurance can be a craps shoot. word of advice to ALL bands, no matter how serious or active... insure your stuff, dudes. i'm serious. its not
that expensive. even if you only play in your garage and do afew shows around town here and there... if you're place burns down/floods/robbed, you're screwed. we are still out of several thousand dollars but we got enough to buy some new stuff. so guess what? its on. bigtime.
we're in the process of booking some shows for the upcomming months. a few things are confirmed, afew things are still pending...but there are gonna be some sweet shows in there. we're pretty pumped. we'll have more shows up on the calendar very shortly. not sure if we're gonna be touring anytime this year, at least not to the extent we have the last few years. BUT we will be making some records. or albums... whatever you kids call them these days. i'm not sure exactly what we'll be putting out... maybe a full lenght, maybe some 7"s, maybe some splits, afew contributions to some comps, a symphony, russian opera/and or ballet, broadway adaptations of our lives titled "
KTP: the saga continues, the return of the king, the sequel", probaly some sort of combination of those. we have a pretty good amount of new material, with more comming all the time.
we'll also have a brand new website launching within the next few weeks. we'll do our best to keep it updated with cool stuff. (by cool stuff i mean stuff we think is funny that everyone else will think is boring as fuck) so thats exciting.
thanks for sticking with us guys... we are lucky to have met some pretty awesome people in the last years and you guys are all awesome friends. when things looked the bleakest our friends had our backs and we're more than thankful.
last but not least, here's some new t-shirt designs:
