Update From The Road

So, finding time to blog while on tour isn't as easy as I thought it would be. We've pretty much been in constant motion from the get go. Right now I'm in a cafe in Albany, NY. We have an off day and stopped off here on our way to Buffalo. The tour has been going really well. Colour Revolt is an amazing band live and really nice people to hang around with before the shows. I highly recommend anyone reading this to check them out if they ever come through your town.

We just got done spending a few days hanging around New York. Our show at Mercury Lounge on Thursday night was sold out to the point that the fire marshal showed up and almost shut the whole thing down before we got to play. They stopped letting people in at one point, even people who had already purchased tickets or friends of ours that were on the list. Eventually they let some more people in before we played but I'm not sure how they're sorting out the people who were denied entry. Contact Mercury Lounge if you're one of those people. Sorry about that. Apparently that was the first time the fire marshal ever showed up to a show at that venue before. Read more about it here.

Here are some random pics...

Touring + Corndogorama

I'm currently scrambling to get packed and ready. We leave tomorrow for our tour with Colour Revolt. I think both bands together on the same bill should make for some great shows. We'll be testing out new songs and also have a new t-shirt/design we'll be selling at shows, along with some cds, vinyl copies of Anti-Anti, free stickers, etc. I plan on taking lots of pics/vids and blogging throughout the tour, so keep checking back.

We also just added our show at Corndogorama here in Atlanta on June 28th at Lenny's. It's another great year of local music and corndog related festivities. We missed out last year because of a flight nightmare trying to get out of London. Luckily we'll be in town and prepared this time. Hope to see some of you out at the shows...

Snowden @ AthFest June 20th

It's been quite some time since we've played a show in Athens. I'm not sure why exactly, but we are pleased to announce that we'll be playing there June 20th during AthFest. Our show will be at the 40 Watt during the evening festivities on Friday June 20. Immediately after Dark Meat finishes their headlining set on the main outdoor stage the party will shift over to the 40 Watt where we'll be playing with Twin Tigers, Iron Hero and Pegasuses-XL. I'm really looking forward to this show. I love Athens and can't wait to hang out and enjoy some of the other bands. Come out if you're in the area.
