Will have new shirts and junk for this tour, as well as HOPEFULLY the Orgullo Primitivo split 7". We might try to learn a cover or two for this one as well, but we don't wanna go stealing Thou's Nirvana thunder.

We haven't written anymore since the last practice session, but tomorrow we should have more material. Trying to record before Adrian goes with Old Soul to Europe for two fucking months. CRAZY CATS! Excited for them. But yeah, that way we can have plenty of time to mix and tinker with junk later on. Probably will have new records out in 2015.

In other news, East Coast Tour is happening in September. FINALLY! Excited. The plan is to bring over some friends from Belgium called Nervous Mothers. Not quite confirmed but it'll probably be like Sept 11 - 28. In the mean time, THREE Detroit shows have been booked already this year. That is quite uncommon for us. Cool.
This Friday with Perfect Pussy at the Trumbullplex, so pumped. Haven't seen Meredith in far too long.
Then March 15th with Northless and Nailbiter at The Precinct. Two amazing bands with awesome folks in them on tour at a new DIY venue in Detroit, fuckin do it.
May 14th at the Yonka House with friends White Widows Pact, Winnipeg homies Plague, and some more. Will be sick.
