The Hunted

Tonight is the end of summer bash in Grand Rapids. Beyond excited. Just got word that we are playing with Run With The Hunted in November (flyer above). They are an incredible band from Arizona.....awesome music, thought-provoking lyrics, and really nice guys from the little bit that I've interacted with them. Their new record is coming out this Fall on Panic Records. Get stoked for that! I love that the Fall is right around the corner....cooler temps, the beginning of a new school year, and of course, the start of football season. Granted, nobody else in this band cares one iota about football, but whatever. I'm sure they do care about cooler temps, which means I will be sweating less behind the drums at band practice, and thus will be able to keep my clothes on. That's right folks, shirtless drummers, they are never a positive thing.
Be Well,
Scobie

STIGMAAA!

So there is a guy named Chaz, who plays in a band called Homelife (make sure you check them out). He reeeeally likes the Rev. He knows the guy who books stuff at Mac's in Lansing. He texts me last week...."Would you guys wanna play with Agnostic Front?" Me: "Uh, what?" Him: "Yeah I can get you on" Me: "Uh, YEEEEEES!, It's Agnostic Front for cryin' out loud!" So we get to do it. Come see us play on a stage with monitors and stuff. We will probably be up there looking terrified, so come make us feel a touch more comfy.

Veni Vidi Vici, Dudes!

As Julius Ceaser was two thousand years past, we too were victorious in our recording with Kevin of p-noise and oily menace fame. Kevin was also in a band called Bear Force which is a cool name for a band, I think. After a day and a half of hard rockin' cat party dudefesting, we managed to caveman our instruments into 3 brand new recordings. Kevin is still in the process of mixing them but when he is finished with the spit and polish they will be available to stream and possibly to download here on the blog. I think I can speak for all of us when I say that these our probably our best songs yet, and we're proud of how they're coming together!

We've set the two latest jams aside and our currently shopping for a partner to share a split release with us. If you or your band want to embarrass us with your skill and tact, please email us! We also recorded a demo version of In Hiding, a song that we've been playing for a some number of months already, so if you've seen us, you might be familiar with this one. This song is planned for a 7" release that is still in the very early planning stages.

I couldn't say enough nice things about working with Kevin, he knows his stuff and is a generally great guy. We had and will hopefully continue to have great times in his company.

This Needs to Become Trendy!

Dear Iron Rain,
Where were these when we played together? HA!

End of Summer Jam!

I couldn't think of a better way to conclude my summer than by getting to be a part of this amazing line-up. Brothers, Posi Noise, and Cloud Rat are all good friends and are some of the finest bands in the state. Zann is an incredible German band that I never thought I'd have the chance to see, let alone play with. And Black Kites has Tom Schlatter, guitarist extraordinaire who has been dropping jaws for years in such bands as You and I, The Assistant, and In Present Tense. I am so pumped to see him in action again. I don't care where you live in the state, this should be on your calendar.
