Speaking ov METAL....

We's goin' on tour, bishes!!!

I'm officially playing guitar for my long-time-buddy Mike's band HOT GRAVES. Mike and I grew up playing guitar together, and have been in bands together in the past. So this is all "Childhood dream fulfillment" and whatnot. I went down to Gville to rehearse with them last weekend, and it was blissfully surreal. The second night I was there, we sat on Mike's back porch drinking beer and jamming till the wee hours.

Anyway, not everyone's cup of tea obviously, but here's some of the music, tour poster, yada yada. Sadly, the Atlanta gig fell through, and we're having a really hard time finding another venue. Otherwise everything seems to be up to date. We might try for something in Chatt, or making ATL the last stop.

We'll be playing a couple tunes off of the "Fashion Victim" EP, which the dudes recorded as a break/berkeley you to the new unreleased full length. Those tunes are way more punk rawk than most of the material...especially the new stuff. We'll also be playing "Worship the Goat, The Craving," and "Desecration Time" off of their previous full length "Knights in White Phosphorus." They're all rippers. "Desecration Time" has a particularly gnarly, doom-ish breakdown, so check that out if that's your thing. The stuff off the new record is SOOOOOOOO berkeleying good. Wish I could share some ov those.

Anyway, come check us out if we're in your 'hood!!!

Talk about play and drive and then play again....

Close but too far away.

Yeah. I keep thinking the driving bit is gonna be brutal...then I keep remembering "Hungover in an air conditioned van with three other drivers on the interstate-driving" beats the living E36 M3 out of "Hungover in a race suit on a 95 degree day pulling a 2.5 hour stint in the rain." I figure it's good prep for One Lap.

OH SNAP You're in MN on June 28th? /me checks calendar......

I'll buy you a beer AND throw in a coozie!

OOOOOOH. Beer is good... free coozie? That throws it over the top. Ima see what I can do about this.

Yeah, fix the Atlanta date, aight?!

Tryin. It'd be nice if 99% of people weren't berkeleying total flakes.

Damn, that's cool! I'm jelly.

What do you have against Maryland you fagit?

Come to Boston/Worcester. We are very metal friendly, may be able to point you in a few venue/gig direction.

The three-piece version hit Boston AND MD on the last tour back in march. I posted a link but apparently you fagues were all having heavy flow nights. Boston show was with Phantom Glue & Ramming Speed.

Speaking ov Boston, our buds Order Ov The Owl are headed your way!!! Check 'em out.

Hmmmm... Columbus in July?

I already have that week off, so I may need to wander down for that one!!!

Since I don't remember seeing anything about that, but assume you are telling the truth, I shall sit here and cast aspersions upon your sexuality.

Ya fairy.

Haha. Been itchin for new ink anyway! I'm definitely the least inked of the bunch. The video for "Get Killed Tonight" is pretty rad.

Whoa... that is AWESOME!!! Congrats man!

I never did a tour when I was in my band, but we did play a show in NY (Brooklyn) and the ensuing road trip there was a blast. We had a cargo van that we stuffed all the equipment into and a couch to sit on. We named it the Adventure Seat.

And how the hell did I miss the Boston show? Phantom Glue and Ramming Speed are awesome. Come back!!!

Oh, and I gave you guys a "Like" on Facebook.

Is it creepy that I remember old posts?

Thanks dude! We'll definitely be back up your way again. There is already talk of an August tour with a REALLY good thrash band who I'm sure you're familiar with. ;)

For some road warrior brain prep, read rollins' "get in the van".

Now you can start hitting up co's for flow to get your pedal board on!

Poop- still working on getting this one cleared out. All my car friends are nancies, no one wants to go with me so far- you're too metal for them.

True story: Hank & I had a pretty heated back & forth political debate via email a couple months ago. Good on him for his level of fan interaction!
