1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! If you can guess what songs samples 5 and 6 are, you can have Chris Thatcher. As in, you know, you will legally own him. Seriously.

Hello there everyone. Let's jump straight into it, shall we?

1) 99 SOR. We're being buried with emails regarding the release date but we can't announce one because we don't know when it is. What we can say is this: some record labels (not naming names here, so it can't be "libel") are just plain horrendous. That's pretty much all we can say for now. Seriously though, it's a sad fact that the bullshit bands have to put up with from some labels isn't worth the benefits (ha!) of being on said labels.

That being said, it looks like 99SOR: Volume One will be released on vinyl via the Pentimento Music Company long before it comes out on CD or digitally. Stay tuned for a release date for the vinyl. We'll also be posting clips from the record in the next few days, along with artwork, since it is in fact finished and just sitting around (you have no idea how frustrating it is). 

2) People are also asking when we'll be hitting the road again. We have no tours planned as of this very minute but we are planning our 2010 now. More importantly, though, we will be heading into the studio soon (as is a particular electricity deficient collective..) and we don't plan on touring until we have a few records to release. 

3) The Risc Store just got a bunch of new items, Streetlight and otherwise. 'Tis the season yada yada blah blah blah..

4) During our downtime, our resident tenor sax genius will be giving lessons. Straight from the Conti's mouth:

Jim Conti will be offering saxophone lessons along with music theory tutoring/instruction in the Montgomery County, Maryland/NW D.C. area. Individual instruction for all levels on alto, tenor, or baritone. Lessons can include classical and/or jazz and improvisational instruction. Anyone interested can contact him (serious inquiries please) at jim_conti@live.com for more information.

Obviously we are very fond of our Jimmy, so no stalkers or creeps please. 

That is all, see you at the next update, with soundclips!

So, we're preparing for our last show for the next who-knows-how-long, in about a week, at the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey. To make this a special night, we've decided that we'll be playing all of our songs. All of 'em. Over the course of the show, we will be playing every single song from both of our records, Everything Goes Numb and Somewhere In the Between.
So that we don't die onstage, we'll be taking a brief intermission in the middle, during which we'll be having a little listening party: our soundguy will be playing a few cuts from our soon to be released covers album (99 Songs Of Revolution: Volume I). Afterwards, we will be entering hibernation for the winter and hope to return sometime in mid 2010. That is all. See you on October 4th!

So, here is the news: * THE LAST TOUR FOR A WHILE TOUR --- After almost 5 years of practically nonstop touring, we're taking a break! We've dedicated ourselves over the last half decade to touring relentlessly and thereby put our "real" lives on hold; that changes after our upcoming Northeast America/Canada tour, which runs from September 17 (next week!) until our hometown show at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, NJ on October 4th. We've got some very cool things planned for this tour (see our back to back full-album shows in NYC), not the least of which will be a very special last show in NJ... We'll let you know in the coming week or two what we mean. After this tour, we will be taking a nice long break from touring. We have nothing planned until at least the summer of 2010, so if you've ever wanted to see us live, or want to see us live before mid 2010, come out to one of the upcoming shows. Many of them WILL sell out, so PLEASE buy your tickets in advance. When we return in 2010, we will simply not be touring as much as we have been in the last few years; we will still try our best to travel internationally, but we will be touring less in general. Don't get too upset though, since "less than usual" for us is probably more than most bands out there ;-) We just need some time to ourselves too, is all. We also have a ton of merch left over from Warped so we will be selling a bunch of it at discount prices on the tour. Whoop dee doo. Also, we recently released our second music video, this time for "Would You Be Impressed?". Click HERE to check it out. That's the big news for now. See you at the shows! 9/17 Philadelphia, PA Trocodero 9/18 Allentown, PA Crocdile Rock 9/19 Lancaster, PA Chameleon Club 9/20 New York, NY Highline Ballroom 9/21 New York, NY BB Kings 9/22 Boston, MA HOB 9/23 Albany, NY Northern Lights 9/24 Montreal, QC Club Soda 9/25 Quebec City, QC Dagobert 9/26 Toronto, ON Kool Haus 9/27 London, ON London Music Hall 9/28 Detroit, MI Majestic Theater 9/29 Clevland, OH Agora 9/30 Chicago, IL Metro 10/1 Pittsburgh, PA Diesel 10/2 Buffalo, NY Infinity 10/3 Hartford, CT Webster Theater 10/4 Sayrevile, NJ Starland Ballroom CLICK HERE TO GO TO OUR WEBSITE

Hey there. Just posted our new music video for "Would You Be Impressed?" right HERE. This is an actual music video, not the live performance posted 2 days ago. The cheap bastards at our label wouldn't let us do a second video for SITB, so we funded this one ourselves (when the middle man doesn't do anything, what exactly is the point of the middle man?). Enjoy!

So we've got the world's crappiest internet connection on this tour, so updating the site has been a nightmare, to say the least. 

Here's a run down of some new info:

* The South American Tour has been cancelled for reasons out of our control. Apparently the swine flu is still wreaking havoc down there and it's greatly affecting the shows. We plan to reschedule for sometime in 2010.

* The Last Tour Of The Decade! We just posted all the dates for our final tour of the first decade of the new millennium. Dramatic! We'll be hitting a bunch of spots on the east coast (and a few not on the coast) before we take a break from touring for a bit (you know what that means). Since we are doing two back to back shows in NYC, we decided to play our two records in their entirety, in order, on those two nights. On Sept 20, at the Highline Ballroom, we'll be playing through our first record, "Everything Goes Numb". The next day, at BB Kings, we'll be playing through "Somewhere In The Between" from start to finish. These shows will be our last for quite some time, so buy your tickets asap as many of them will sell out. Also, we'll be pulling out songs from our back catalog throughout the tour. Just please don't expect Mrs Butterworth. Seriously.

* We have something else we're very excited to show you, but since we have the aforementioned worst internet connection on earth, we can't upload it until we get to a hotel or something. Stay tuned!

Just posted on YouTube, one of the songs we played on Fearless TV, check it out here. This past weekend's show was pushed back a week due to NASCAR. Apparently, people watch cars driving in circles. No, seriously, I didn't just make that up. Anyway, our second song, the one that was supposedly more worthy of airtime than Miss Lewis's second song (no, I won't drop it, it's hilarious) will be airing this weekend. Unless there's a particularly exciting broadcast of cars driving aimlessly or men playing with balls or whatever you people consider entertainment nowadays. The show times are a date or two down on this page, I'm done copy pasting it, you do something for once. We, on the other hand, have a record we're hard at work pretending to finish. Vroom.

Hey! Brazil! And another country or two on the same continent as Brazil that we can't announce just yet: Guess what? In September of this year we will be visiting you. Finally! We will be announcing the details of our first ever South American tour in the next few weeks. It'd be an understatement to say we are excited as hell. So do whatever it is you fine folks do to prepare for these kinds of things, because we're coming and nothing you can say will stop us.

So a while back our video for "We Will Fall Together" was taken off of YouTube by the powers that be (ha) because of "Copyright Infringement". Or whatever, you can only imagine the real reason...
Anyway, the good folks at HD Fest have put our vid, in a much higher resolution, up on their site, here. Go watch it again or something, while we prepare video number two ;-)

Hey guys,

So, the band won the poll on Fearless' website over the course of the last week or so, which means they'll be on the TV show this week again!
The show times will be the same as last week.  If you're unsure when it'll be airing in your area, check out Fearless' showtime listing here:
