So the warm up shows are done, with varying degrees of success. Overall a job...done. Raliegh was tight, Asheville strong too, shit got a little loose in Wilmington, but nothing tragic and nothing that won't be tighter tonight in Charlotte as we jump onto 8 shows with Kylesa. We recognize the opportunity and plan to seize it with both hands. We recognize that their fans aren't generally our fans but hope to turn a few heads and sell a little merch. I have high but realistic hopes. Will the arthouse (I don't wanna use the word hipster) crowd be sold on our brand of traditional metal/occult doom? Eh....time will tell. I have faith that the power of this style and this bands songs can win even the most jaded of bookbag wearing adults. Sorry I've been blog lazy but normally I rant about this or that, general irritants (Dane Cook, bad head, etc...) but this last month has found me stepping and fetching like a son of a bitch and having a good goddamn time. I travel most weekends to Central NC and kick it with my new fiancee (what, what??) And her kids. That segment of life has been dope as fuck and I couldn't ask for more. Than I arise early monday and haul ass back home for a week of daytime band practice. The loop has been relentless, and with the exception of a couple of episodes of squidbillies, it has been nonstop. We will be home on june 5, but gotta get busy writing a new tune because we are in the studio in late june doing a 7" I believe and directly after that about 3 weeks with Sour Vein. Hello financial ruin, fancy meeting here again. I will stay on top of this as america rolls beneath our wheels. Big ups.
