Tour Update #1: "The Lower Depths"

So we have been out for over a week now, you would think that we would be in the midwest somewhere but in fact we just did a weekend in California with Downpresser and Creatures and we are currently working our way back up to play the Superbowl of Hardcore.

The weekend with Creatures and Downpresser was insane, we played the Gilman and that was awsome to be able to play that venue. The shows in Santa Barbara and Long Beach. The house show in Long Beach was complete madness. Check out both Creatures and Downpresser, both bands are sick.

We've had some pretty crazy drives so far on this tour. We ended up driving from St. Paul Minnisota to Seattle Washington. The drive was roughly 26 hours. We hit a lot of states that we've never been to, one being Montana and that was pretty intense. There was a lot to see at some parts driving through and then it would go straight to nothing, but it was still cool. Driving through Washington was really awsome as well.

The weather has been pretty intense out here, through montana and washington it went from cold to extremely hot, so of coarse we went swimming. We stopped off at an exit and snuck into this hotel with a waterslide coming out of the fucking building. Of coarse im such a child that i had a blast. On the way to california we stopped in Portland to go to this famous Donut shop. Now for starters, the donuts were amazing and completely ridiculous, for example i purchases a donut with fruit loops cereal on top of vanilla frosting, it was delicous. If you are ever in Portland go and hit up Voodoo Donuts. 

Now if you ever end up in Portland, stop and turn around and go back home because there are freaks everywhere. Mind you we were there on a thursday in the morning in the part of town where men dress up as girls and people pay to watch them dance around a pole. One guy came out of this night club screaming "I KISSED A MALE, I KISSED A MALE", we knew where he was earlier that night thats for sure. So to make it short... if you ever find yourself in Portland on a thursday night your going to see some serious shit.

This tour has been cool doing it by ourselves and two road dogs (reggie and dougy), the last full u.s. we did was with foundation. It's always fun to tour with other bands but so far there has been no complaints with it just being us.Right now we are currently in San Antonio, TX. We played the warehouse last night with Cruel Hand and a million other bands. The show was total fantasy. The venue was huge and the mixture of bands was very weird. Almost every band had a banner so we felt the need to make one of our own. 

Today we play Houston then work our way up to play Johnson City, TN and then to Brooklyn to play the Black N Blue Bowl (Superbowl of Hardcore). Check back for another update at the end of the tour.

We might as well announce it on here that the title of the LP will be called "The Lower Depths". Its been a long process coming up with a name and we had many choices but the lower depths fits the lyrics and the overall theme of the record. The artwork is being drawn up now by Mike Tommyrot (Black SS, Halo Tattoos) and the layout will be finished as soon as we get back home. Check back for more news on the LP and we will be posting Europe Dates soon as well. Hit us up on the road, go to the Superbowl and listen to Downpresser and Creatures.
