Updates!

We got to play with Iron Rain and a few others last night at Justice Records up in Mt. Pleasant. It was really good to be there and see all the work Rorik and Brent have done. If you haven't gotten up there yet, make a point to do so, especially if you are a vinyl nerd. I think Alex was going to lose his mind (and his life savings) looking at all the stuff they have. Other than that, I'm incredibly stoked to say our next show is at The Metal Frat with Defeater. We're really looking forward to playing there and I personally am excited beyond words to be playing with Defeater. That band is absolutely incredible in my opinion. Nuff said. We have a few other shows lined up after that and otherwise are working on some new stuff for what will hopefully become a 7". This summer we're looking to lay down the jams with Kevin from Positive Noise at the helm. Alright, enjoy the warmer temps outside, spring is coming!

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!

This wake I myself have Steve'd

yo so most of us went to go see steve as he came to town with shai hulud the other day. he seems like he is really having a ballroom blast touring with those guys! matt fox even let him sing three songs! he did a really good job and i could tell he was enjoying himself. later he told us that it had been the best night of their tour so far. coincidentally, it was the best time i have had seeing shai hulud so far, and i think most people who were there would agree with me. it was awesome and we miss having that guy around, hopefully he even misses us sometimes! steve if you are reading this remember not to forget about us little people.

there is another thing i want to talk about for a minute now. james (jimmy) lawson. some of you might remember jimmy from such area bands as deathskin razors, all hype, and the kenny band. jimmy has been playing with us as a replacement for steve, and even though nobody could really replace steve in the delicate equation that is great reversals, jimmy has def made up for it by adding his own unique input into what we are doing. and as we are trying to write some new songs right now, i feel like his mark on us will be long lasting and delicious like stride gum. so far i have learned that jimmy is mostly diurnal, is approx five feet, ten inches in length (give or take a few) is jolly, is a mammal, likes to wear long sleeve shirts with a plaid pattern, and enjoys the hit television show lost. i suspect there are many more things to learn about jimmy and hopefully i will continue to study him in close detail. here is a file photo of jimmy:


we already played a show with jimmy but i am pretty obsessed with this guy so i wanted to write him a proper introduction. WELCOME JIMMY.

A Couple of Blurbs

So Grand Rapids the other night was good. The people there were overwhelmingly gracious and kind as usual. Below are some photos below taken by my old friend Jeremy Rush. (thanks man!) All the bands were great, especially Former Thieves in my opinion. They are something special. Our next jam is up in Mt. Pleasant at Justice Records (see flyer also below). I speak for us all when I say that we are incredibly excited to see Rorik's shop and continue to be impressed with him as a human being. Also, Steve will be in town with Shai Hulud this Friday in Lansing, and quite possibly at another location which shall remain nameless. At any rate, we are excited to see him rock with the worm, come see him and say hi to the rest of us while we mosh.

Grand Rapids Here We Come (Again)

Big hugs to Britty and the boys in Damages for letting us hop on the show in G.R. at The Cage on Monday, Feb. 15th. Also contributing to hearing loss that evening will be Ends, Damages, Dire Wolf, and Former Thieves from Iowa who will be in the middle of what looks like a pretty epic three month tour. Those guys bring the jams to boot so you will not want to miss them. Last month when we played The Cage it was so fun....good vibes, lots of friends (old and new), and an awesome venue, so needless to say we're pretty pumped to get back there. This will be our first show with Jimmy filling in on guitar, so come show him some love! Also, you should definitely bring us some leftover Valentine's Day candy. I kinda have a thing for chocolate.

Great Farewells

So our farewell (to me, Steve) basement show was a success that definitely made up for the Flint show getting crashed by the cops. Thanks again to everyone who participated, I'm extremely grateful to have had the chance to play one last show before embarking on my endeavor with Shai Hulud. Though I may of mentioned it during our set the other night, I would like to reiterate a few points... Playing in GR8 REV over the course of this past year has been an incredible experience. Creating these songs was not easy but the progress we've made is quite rewarding, particularly with our newest song, In Hiding. I can't stress it enough; writing and performing that song was the greatest parting gift I ever could have asked for. I'm very excited about what the future has in store for the Rev, but as for what we've accomplished thus far... I'm very proud. Making music while simultaneously strengthening friendships, you really can't go wrong! Not to mention, I've even been appointed the roll of Inspector General of Polish Mosh Services by President Errak Scobama... What more could I possibly ask for?!?

Aaron, Scobie, Alex and sometimes Sam... I already miss you boys! Jimmy, do the REV proud, I'll see you all in a few weeks.

P.S. - At one point during this update iTunes shuffle shoved one of THE heaviest TAD song's down my ear canals!!! Coincidentally, I'm wearing a TAD shirt with sweat pants. Just picture me in said apparel, rocking the fuck out and wanting to punch things.
