Screening T's For The Road

We're technically already on the road now, but I took these pics last week of us being all "diy" and screening our own shirts to sell on the tour. The show Saturday night at The Earl was really great and it was cool to see so many familiar faces out. Thanks so much to everyone that came out. We're in DC tonight and NYC the next couple nights after that. Check the dates and come out if you wanna hear some of our new jams.

Snowden @ The Earl Saturday Night

This is most likely our final local show of the year and we plan on unleashing a lot of new material. If you're in town for the holidays and have nothing to do Saturday night come out to The Earl and hopefully we can make it worth your while. The openers should be good too. Abby Go Go sound great from what I've heard online. I'm looking forward to checking them out live. It should be a fun night all around. Hope ya'll can make it out.

Meteor Over Edmonton

Wow.

SwitchBurn Snowden Live Vids

This is pretty cool. A while back I made a post about some live videos the folks at SwitchBurn had put together from a show we played in Austin a while back. They have been kind enough to post five more videos from that show, including three new songs that we've been playing live recently. These all turned out really great and I can't say thanks enough to Shawn and the whole crew involved with SwitchBurn for making these available. Definitely check out their site when you have some time. Here are the links to the new Snowden vids:

A Saturday in ATL

We played a show this past Saturday at the Atlanta Downhill Challenge soap box derby thing. Unfortunately, there was a bad accident during one of the races. More details here. Apparently the guy is going to fully recover. That's good to hear. A paypal donation page has been setup here. I didn't take many pics. Here are some good ones on flickr though. The show itself was a bit weird. We were last to play, way after the racing had ended, and we followed a band that dressed up as mummies and played funk songs. They also showed up in a full tour bus with a trailer in tow. Go figure.

Mini Hummer! He actually fit inside that thing. Coolest one all day in my book.

History

Drowned In Sound

Jordan talks politics with UK's Drowned In Sound on election day. Read it here, and as if you haven't heard it enough already... go vote please.

Vote!

America... Let's take a look back at some of the finer moments of the person you chose to run the country for the past eight years. As you're watching think to yourself which one of the current presidential candidates represents a new direction from this absurdity, which candidate has kept a clear and level head throughout their campaign, without making sporadic decisions or using negative ads that play into the fears of ignorance, which candidate carefully chose a qualified running mate for vice president, and would probably do the same when it comes time to fill cabinet positions? I could keep on going like this, but the choice already seems quite clear to me. I hope it does to you as well. Please go vote Tuesday, and lets make history... one that we can actually be proud of this time.

Boo!

It's been quiet on the blog front here lately. I'll try to post more soon. In Snowden news, we have a small east coast tour coming up in December with Twin Tigers. I'll post more about that when all the dates are finalized. Check the dates confirmed so far here.

Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween! Here's the sound of a scream that's probably buried deep inside your subconscious mind and you don't even know it.

Snowden @ Atlanta Downhill Challenge

We're going to be performing Nov. 15 at the Starlight Drive-In as part of the annual Atlanta Downhill Challenge festivities. What is the Atlanta Downhill Challenge? It's a kick ass soapbox derby!! Yes. We're headlining the BMI stage, where a bunch of other bands will be performing throughout the day also. The whole thing goes from 12-6pm, and we go on around 5pm. Apparently last year drew over 3,000 people. It seems like a pretty cool way to spend a Saturday. For a great set of photos from last year check out this flickr set.

FAQ from the downhill myspace:

1) Are we making our own go karts with lawnmowers and shit/ renting them? going to a place? low-tech and crazy?
yes... you can use anything you want to build your cart but it just has to be built by your team. No Motor Vehicles.
2) Oooh oooh can we have like PIT CREW and stuff?
I want you to have a pit crew...if needed, cheerleaders and more.
3) Can we still race if we are over 250 lbs?
Yes, but the judges will take that to heart.
4) What time do I need to be there?
Please be there at 10:00am every year to check in your cart.
