Bohemian Rhapsody / Party Time All The Time.

November 22 - Dec 16 tour with THEDOWNGOING is all booked up! Just awaiting venue and local bands / details from some shows, but we have confirmations from everyone.

A neat blog reviewed the Republic Of Dreams split LP, and you can read that here:

The same blog also featured a recipe of mine, and I forgot to post about that on here. Scroll down on that page and you'll find it.

So we have been a band for close to three years. When I write that down, it doesn't seem like much time. I feel like we have gotten the opportunity to do quite a few things in that short time though. So far: 4 LP's, a 7", a cassette, a CDR demo, multiple compilations (some cassette, some cd, some digital, and the new MONOMANIAC 7" comp). We have toured the US many times and played with some of the best bands in the world. Next we have another LP and another 7", a Canada and West Coast US Tour (both firsts for us), and then Europe February - April.
We would never have been able to do any of this without the love and support of our friends and family. To be quite honest, sometimes this band is a fucking trainwreck. Whether it's been money issues, job issues, emotional/nervous breakdowns, drugs, health, personal conflicts, you name it. But for some reason it works, and I am extremely proud of all our recorded material and things we have accomplished. The three of us are best friends (even though sometimes you wouldn't be able to tell) and we will continue to do this as long as the drive is there.
I just want to say thank you to the people who have been there for us, whether in personal or band matters. I would be more specific, but there are too many names to name (which just goes to show how much help we have needed). Much love from the rats, and may we all get to hang out together soon. See you soon, Space Cowfolk.
