we
went on like a three month bender or somethin and nobody bothered to
update the goddamn myspace. well shit, how else are y'all supposed to
know what the hell's been goin' on round here anyway?
For
starters, way back in June we finally got our asses in gear and went on
tour. Shoulda done that years ago.....damn lineup changes. It was a
really fuckin cool time despite all the shit that went down. To make a
long story short, we played our asses off, drank heavily, smoked far
too many cigarettes, got busted by the cops, lost the keys to the van,
had said van break down outside Louisville, KY, had to cancel two shows
that we're STILL pissed about not playing (we HATE canceling shows),
and wound up playing Cleveland on a Sunday night. Yum. Seriously
though, many thanks to all the cool people and rockin bands we met
along the way (MCC, your "gift" came at just the right time) and
especially to Jake L. for being a great friend to the band and
supporting us through all this shit. It was a huge task sometimes,
putting up with our shit, but you really pulled through.
Post-tour
saw us reconstructing what was left of our pathetic little lives and
trying to comprehend the situation. It's a big step, going out on the
road alone for the first time, and I think given the circumstances, we
did all right. No one was a bitch, everyone pulled their weight, and we
all came home with a better understanding and appreciation for what
touring bands are up against on a daily/..monthly/yearly basis. The band that left Columbus in June was not the same band that came back in July.
All
in all, It really was a cool time. We played a bunch of shows in July
and August, and it was sweet. If you missed them, you missed out,
because they were some of the rowdiest sets we've played in a long
time, especially the July 31st show with MF Gnar and August 14th with
Tombstalker. All those dudes are absolute badass when it comes to
music. After that, well, we've just been busy. We're all over the place
now: Roger lives in Yellow Springs busy bein' a hippie, Joe is in
Columbus setting up Slacker House, and I moved to Cleveland to start
the revolution. Seriously-..first thing we do is kill all the lawyers.
Not
to fear. We've been writing and booking shows and buying gear
(including a sexy sexy Emperor 2x12 and extremely loud Peavey 400
Series bass amp-think Sunn, but with less mystique). And fucking. Lots
of it. Each other. In the butt. I catch mostly, but on Tuesdays Joe
lets me flip for it. Roger, as always, takes the pictures.
Look
out for some crazy shit coming up. New songs, hopefully a full-length,
and maybe a split vinyl and some other goodies...If you've looked for
our EP at Used Kids or Lost Weekend and it's not there, it's because we
need to make more of them....yay DIY! cutting costs and saving lives,
that's the motto at Ed's House, and it works for us.
6 years and
5 months...damn. Thanks tremendously to the people who have helped us
get this far, and everyone who has contributed something to the
journey...see you at the shows.
