Additions & Subtractions

Bike Tuff had to drop the PFA show tomorrow unfortunately. Andrew is looking for another band to play, hopefully someone else hops on, but for now it's just us and PFA. 6:30, Division Gallery. PFA plays the Garden Bowl with Louder Than Bombs and Ashers afterwards. The Division Gallery show is 3 bucks, the Garden Bowl show is free I think. In other show news, Retribution has been added to the Cipher show. Come get sick for them....and everybody else. We are going in on July 31st to record 2 new songs with Kevin Kitchel in Lansing. More info on when these jams will see the light of day later.

Prayers for Atheists show IS Happening!

The PFA show this Tuesday the 29th will be going down. The venue did change though. It is now happening at the Division Gallery in Detroit. In addition to PFA and us, Bike Tuff is also playing. It's an early jam, we go on at 6:30. The show is just 3 dollars. PFA will be playing a second set right afterwards at the Garden Bowl, so either way, be sure to check them out.

Summer's Jumpin' Off!

Many thanks to Ryan once again for having us in Grand Rapids at the Meltdown; it was a lot of fun. I got to watch Posi Kevin do a whole lotta fist pumping, Aaron started the most crucial circle pit of the night, and Jon from Deathskin got a new nickname....if you see him make sure you salute him henceforth as "RonJon". Check out Shattered Badge if you get a chance, Ryan plays bass in that band and Brandon from Xtra Vomit destroys his drums. They were awesome! In related events, the new Deathskin Razors CD and the new Cloud Rat LP were both unleashed upon the world yesterday. Be sure to track those puppies down!

This is a big week in Detroit for the Core. Monday at Refuge is Burning Love, End Trails, etc., Tuesday at the Stick is Foundation, Gravemaker, Vogel, and most importantly, the coming out party for Retribution, Wednesday at Smalls is the official Deathskin CD release show with Murphy's Law (Jimmy Gestapo will always hold a special place in my heart), and Thursday we are playing in Royal Oak at Club 309 with Xerxes, Damages, and End Trails. So you should certainly be able to meet your USDA recommended allotments of headbanging and mashing this week. Lastly, the Prayers for Atheists show Tuesday, June 29th originally scheduled for the Trumbullplex is now up in the air. It may still be at the T-Plex, it may be somewhere else. We will post it when we know. Wow! That is a lot of stuff going down. Summer 010' represent!

A Couple More Flyers!

Andrew is booking this jam as well, and it should be awesome. If you like your mosh sprinkled with a little hip-hop vibe and some radical politics, you will love Cipher. All the other bands are great too. Come hang!


Here's the flyer for the Michigan Meltdown! We have been told this is an annual rager, so we couldn't be more pysched to play. Grand Rapids is always good to us, we can't wait to get back over there. Plus a lot of our friends are playing, so it should be awesome. Hopefully we will have a new song ready to play at this show.


So pretty much everybody just needs to check into a hotel in Bay City during the first week of June. We get to play this show (see flyer) on Wednesday June 2nd, then on Saturday the 5th End of a Year is playing, and on Sunday the 6th Iron Rain is playing. Sam and I already have plans to see End of a Year, and I know Aaron is hella stoked for Iron Rain. Speaking of the 6th, Former Thieves is playing that day in Howell or somewhere out that way. Somebody should really just combine those two shows and have it in Detroit. Hmmmmmm. Anyway, too many good shows in one week, Jeremy has the Snuggly Mug blowin up. Come see us play on Wednesday, or come see us hanging out at those other shows.

A Couple Upcoming Show Flyers!

This flyer is for a show I'm booking/organizing. It's at a new spot. You should come. We will feed you. Xerxes are from Louisville, a town rich with punk rock history. By the Grace of God were from there, and Rob Pennington is my punk rock hero. That should be enough to entice you. Should it not be, let me mention that Damages are also playing. They are our buds, and have hooked us up in Grand Rapids a time or two. And if all that is not enough, End Trails will be playing. It is just their second show. Their first one ruled. Zac Folk has the best hair in Michigan, perhaps he can give you some tips. Kyle Callert.....well, he's just Kyle Callert damn it!





Here is the flyer for our show at the Trumbullplex on June 29. Andrew got No Control and Bike Tuff to jump on this show, which is awesome. I've been wanting to see both of those bands for a while now. Big ups to diverse line-ups on shows!

Again, many thanks to Jimmy, Logan, and everyone who came out for the Relay for Life cancer benefit show on sunday! The day was not without its hiccups...but the wait for all of the mt. pleasant bands was certainly worth it! We had a jolly-good time! Unless any opportunities are presented to us, the REV will be laying low until june. We plan to record 3 new songs in july with Kevin from Positive Noise which will eventually become a 7", we're very pumped on the new material we have so far! In other news, we have t-shirts designed by our very own Samuel Collins, we'll have them at future shows. So until then, we'll see you in the pit! waaaaaaaah!
