YOU'RE THE ONLY TEN I SEE (TENNESSEE IS FOR LOVERS)

Last week wrapped up our September weekend outings and onward we march towards a plump, juicy weekend in Tennessee for rock and roll.

Friday, October 8th we will be in Morristown, TN with The Great Liars, our Asheville rock brethren, at THE DOWNTOWN (219 W Main St). Show starts at 10pm, is $5 and 21+ only.

Saturday, October 9th we return to beautiful Nashville, TN. We will be supporting our buds 7dayBinge at 12TH & PORTER (114 12th Ave N). Show starts at 8pm. is $10 and 18+ only.

See you then, Loves and Lads.

FALLING DOWN.

September has arrived and thus a new batch of shows for our fans around the world. Sorry about the lack of updates on the blog the past month, I've not had much access to a computer lately. I should probably invest in a solution to that problem (i.e. buy one for myself). In case you missed it, we played at the Orange Peel last month and it was a success. KINGS OF PRUSSIA invited us to open up their CD release party, alongside their Miami brosephs DISSEVER. If you're into heavy, chaotic metal a la BLOOD HAS BEEN SHED, you'll dig them. If you missed that show, you also missed KOP perform with strippers on stage for a song. The all ages crowd seemed to dig it, from what I can tell. We certainly did.

I digress. September will see us hit up Spartanburg, SC on September 10th (Friday) for THE VESSEL's CD release show at Ground Zero. It's only an hour away from Asheville, so you definitely should not miss it if you're from our hometown. The cover charge is $5 for 21+ and $7 for under 21. HOWEVER, anyone 21+ before 9pm gets in FREE! Holla.
There will also be two $100 gift certificate giveaways that evening: one for Dark Side Tattoo and one for Blvd Music. So not only do you get to see us go nuts on stage, but you get the chance to win free tattoo or music money. It's win/win, really. Those sort of situations don't always present themselves, so don't miss out here. Also performing that evening (which is one week away!) will be HECTAGONS! from Charlotte and the upstate's own WAITING FOR AIR.

The following weekend, we'll be traveling to Wilmington, NC! September 19th (Sunday), MONSTRO (featuring former TORCHE guitarist Juan Montoya) will be wrapping up a weekend mini-tour at Reggie's 42nd St Tavern with JUNIOR BRUCE and SHROUD EATER. Along with us will be Wilmington's own ASG and White Tiger & the Bed of Roses, who we rocked Reggie's with a few months ago. The show starts at 8pm and is 21+. Not sure of the cover but if I guessed between $5 and $10, I'd probably have it covered. We're not only excited to be playing with the aforementioned bands, but also to hang with our dude Johnny Collins (Crusades, ex-Thunderlip) and party it up on the beach with him. If you're into beach parties, than party it up with us! Even us simple mountain folk enjoy cooking out on the sand, watching seagulls and pelicans fly by, and maybe watching a shark eat a child or two. Hahaha, I'm just kidding, there are no pelicans in North Carolina.

Less than a week later, we'll return to the capitol city of our beloved state. September 25th (Saturday) we will arrive in Raleigh, NC to play at the infamous DIVEBar Raleigh! We will be performing with Raleigh's TRANSIENT, described as "fuzzed-out desert rock" along the lines of KYUSS, QUEENS OF THE STONEAGE, and THE MELVINS. If any of those references ring true, I cannot wait to play with these guys. The show is FREE, starts at 10pm, and is 21+. Drink specials that evening include $3 PBR tallboys and $3 domestic bottles, so you can get drunk for cheap. That's right, you can spend your money on drinks and not a cover charge! Pretty killer deal.

That about wraps it up for September. We have one other show booked right now on October 8th (Friday) in Morristown, TN at the Downtown with our great friends THE GREAT LIARS. We'll talk more about that when it's time! See you on the road.

GOD'S GONNA CUT YOU DOWN

What an adventure. On the way down to Spartanburg, the drive shaft on the van began to make a sick, metallic crunching sound. We pulled over and smoke was pouring out. Luckily, James from PanaCea bailed us out and picked us and the trailer up from the gas station we pulled over at just 15 miles from Ground Zero. We played and had a blast. Thanks so much to PanaCea, Sarah for getting half of us home, Lee and Burney for taking our gear and the other half of the Campaign home, and to all our close friends who came out and the new friends me made last night! We'll be back soon.

QUEEN OF THE DAMNED

We're pleased to announce the completion and release of our 2nd music video! Shot by Daren Searcy on location in Candler, NC from July 22nd to 24th. The song is "Queen of the Damned" from our new album, Sessions.
