We are all geared up and ready to hit the road in October. We are very excited to do this tour because we have been making some great friends in the last couple of months and it will be nice to hang with them. Plus, we need a good excuse to go visit as many friends as we can before the rain starts hitting us all day, every day. Please come visit us and give us hugs and hi-fives.

We are getting some bitchin new shirts printed up for the tour, and if I say so myself they look pretty damn good! Along with new shirts, we are hoping to have "Lottery Of Recognition" out on vinyl by then. If it doesn't make it, you will just have to wait. We have moved on to the second press of "Lottery Of Recognition" CD, which has all new artwork. We also have copies of the limited(500 pcs) 10" split vinyl/CD with LOOM entitled "Clutches" and the limited(500 pcs) 7" with SIRHAN SIRHAN. Come grab a few before they sell out.

Also, I have added a couple new photo albums in the pics section of our myspace. You can all go look at how ugly we all are, laugh at our mugs, and tell us how silly we all look.
(Thanks Shannon and Lara)

PRIZE COUNTRY will be headed into the studio this year! We have 9 new songs, that make me VERY proud to be a part of this band. The writing has taken on a mind of its on. We are more fluid and honest in the sounds that we create now more than ever. Get ready for blistering rock awesomeness!

I booked studio time for the first week of Dec with our good friend Adam Pike(THE MEDIAM, PAINT BY NUMBER, RED FANG, DIESTO, etc. and he just finished recording the newest BLACK ELK full length). Two of the new songs will be recorded during this session. We may be dropping one song on a split with GIT SOME, one WILL(worked that out today) be on a split with HOSTILE COMBOVER. I will be hitting up labels soon for interest(hint hint). haha Shameless begging is not really that becoming is it?

We plan on going into the studio with Kris Crummet early of 2009 to record yet another PRIZE COUNTRY record. This will probably be a 7+ song limited vinyl/CD EP. However, who know how the winds will blow. It could end up being a full length something or other to do something or other with. Regardless, these songs will be recorded in early 09, and should be out by spring. Look for more details to come.

More touring......If we make it through this next one without killing each other, or getting arrested for something stupid, we are planning a west coast tour for late Feb/early Mar There has been talk about going out with GIT SOME for some or all of this. Just wrap your head around how awesome that would be!!! If it doesn't work out though, we will still be hitting the rails ourselves, or with someone else.

Thanks for your support, love, hugs, drugs, beers, floors to sleep on, lips to kiss, and friendship!!! We love you all!

Jacob, and the P.C. boys.
