Tour, and the life after.
So yes, yet again it's been a little while. From one thing to another, we seemed to get occupied with life and neglect things like this blog. We hope you have been well. We have been up to quite a bit. We will recap some of those things.
One of our biggest accomplishments in the last months was our Western U.S. Tour this past July with our dear friend Roman Candles. It was a 16-day excursion that took us through Utah, Idaho, Montana, Washington, Vancouver B.C., Oregon, and California. Many a great times were had, and venturing into Canada marked Garrett's first time out of the country. We played so many great shows, shared bills with amazing bands, and met some of the kindest and most wonderful people we have ever come across. It would become a very lengthy list to name everyone that was involved with helping our tour become a success, so if you are reading this, you know who you are and we sincerely appreciate you and your support towards this band. This band means a great deal to us, and it was comforting that we were well received by many. Again, a sincere thank you. We can't wait to come back and build new experiences with you.
Now as we are home, we are looking towards the future and making plans as what to do next. We are very excited to announce that we will be recording our first full-length of material this October with Andrew Schubert. Once completed, we will aim to release the material on a 12" LP. Almost all of the songs we play live nowadays haven't been recorded ever, so we look forward to finally lay these tracks down. Keep your eyes on us, and we promise to update you throughout the whole process.
We have a few shows booked in the coming months in the Southern California area. We won't be hitting it as hard for the next couple months in preparation for recording, but we are still trying to be out there as much that makes sense. Try to make it out to some of these shows; we would appreciate the company. (Yes, the ones planned thus far are all at Bridgetown, but we will have more to add at different places. Bridgetown is just very kind to us.)
