Looking through an interview Barge (bass) did a few months ago I discovered this gem:
"We have never really been able to successfully support ourselves via the traditional 'punk rock' touring model anyway. Our band doesn't seem to mesh well with exchanges of currency in any form, actually. Perhaps, in a larger sense, the romance of "hitting the road" or "beating the bushes" or "eating shit for 23 hours and playing music for 1" will have to be thrown by the wayside, especially for bands like ours."

It is with this in mind, and a deep, profound sense of giftofsinnitis, that we would like to announce:
new thrill parade's....

CAPES ACROSS AMERICA TOUR  2009. march 3-april 30th.

because when 1 week tours end in failure, heartbreak, and misery, the best thing to do is go out and repeat the same process but with the addition of eight times the length.

check out myspace page for dates as they float on in. if you see any opening and think you are the one that can help us then please do.

right now we need help in:
Florida- finding venues/bands
Cleveland- any bands want to play?
Athens
Some parts of Texas

anyway. more to come when all dates are confirmed.

we will have our new tour-only EP cd-r, "THE BELLYWASHER", with us. this will probably be your only chance to get this one. limited run of 130 or so. 5 never heard tracks. it'll be cheap too.

Also, keep your eyes out for the Tie-Dyed Batcave music video which is now in post-production. that should be done by mid to late february.
