DOG DAYZ

We moved out of our practice space today in the blazing heat and decided we would get more work done after we went to the swimming hole, hung up a rope swing, and cooled off for a bit.

CD RELEASE!

Last night was our CD Release show at 222 Ormsby in Pittsburgh. At first we were getting pretty worried about the turn out for all the bands but then all of a sudden a pretty good amount of people showed up, and the show ended up being a total success. The Sunflower Spectacle opened the show and despite technical difficulties, played an incredible set as usual. Once they were loaded out The Edukators, a band we've wanted to play with and see for a long time, set up and played a really loud, awesome set. After those guys were done playing Worn Out Tigers played and I'm pretty sure that they blew everyone's mind. We have been trying to play with each other for so long but there has always been something messing everything up. They almost didn't play our CD Release but ended up being able to make it last minute which was awesome. When Worn Out Tigers were finished our new friends in the band Cloud Mouth, from Chicago played and absolutely ripped it. They're all really incredible dudes and you should definitely check them out at: myspace.com/cloudmouth and follow their blog at (mouthintheclouds.blogspot.com).

The show ended up going on for a really long time and when people stuck around for our set we were really grateful. Sometimes 5 bands in a row can turn into an overload of music. Regardless, it was a more than we could have asked for and it was such a good mix of awesome people,
and everyone had an awesome time. Cloud Mouth ended up crashing at our house afterward, and we all got to hangout for a little bit but everyone was really tired and we all ended up passing out quickly. After an awesome show, trading some merch, and briefly hanging out, Cloud Mouth said their goodbyes and headed off to Philly for their show today.

We're really starting to establish this network of awesome, hardworking people and bands. We've been very fortunate on this upcoming tour we're doing to be playing most of the shows we're playing. It seems like all of them are with tons of incredible bands at some of the most awesome houses an venues around. We're looking forward to seeing Cloud Mouth again at Castle Fest this summer in Bowling Green, Ohio along with a bunch of other great bands that will be playing.

Thank you so much everyone who came out to the show, the 222 Ormsby crew for making it possible, and thanks to all of our friends for playing. It really means a lot to us.

Here's a few more pictures from the show:

THE GOODS HAVE ARRIVED!

Hello everyone.
So this is our first official post, sort of. We've been really busy getting ready for our upcoming tour and the release of the record so we're just going to quickly recap the months events up to this point.

We've been practicing heavily every day for a while, working with our new drummer Brandon, and getting ready for the upcoming shows before tour. We have to move out of our house and practice space because our lease is up and we don't feel like paying $500 for a practice space while we're gone. On top of moving out, our bus just cost us $4,000 to fix, which is always awesome because money is so easy to come by, and because we have so much money, finishing, pressing, printing and packaging the record wasn't a problem either. Shirts we're cheap too, haha.


We just received the cd's in the mail though, and they look incredible. We're really proud of them and we're excited to get them into the hands of our friends! Last night was Corey's benefit show at The Hangout and we had a kind of unofficial pre-release of the record. We just got two new shirt designs made too and printed tons of new patches. All of the bands that played we're awesome and everyone had a really great time. People were really into our set and we ended up selling a ton of merch which was a huge help considering we're the richest people on the planet and aren't totally broke or anything. Thank you so much to everyone who came out and made the show so much fun.

Our friend Matt over at Emerald Moon Records helped us out with printing these awesome shirts!

Our good friend Brent's wedding is in Erie tomorrow along with our cd release show which is in Pittsburgh. We're going to catch the ceremony and then rush to Pittsburgh for the show. It's going to be a busy day full of awesome times.

It's only a matter of days before we get to start traveling around the country, finding the best swimming holes in town, making new friends, seeing old ones, and playing some of the sweetest shows ever.

We're going to be posting tons of stories and pictures from the tour, so things will start picking up around here once we're out on the road. We've just started sending our record out to get reviewed so there's going to be some reviews over in the press section in the coming week. There should also be some pictures up from the show yesterday soon!

Thanks everyone!
