thanks boys. it went well let me tell some ....
1st night we almost died on the road more than once, the drive got so dangerious from blowing winds and fucking fog all over the road. the show went really well despite the fact that the bar only had 1 mic and I had to keep my memory sharp to remember the other band members lyrics so I could keep all the songs together, it sounded really good on its own so everything turned out ok, the crowd really enjoyed us and the pit was looking mighty rough, no one wanted us to go off stage, so we played all our old material then some new ones we are jamming out back home. it was amazing for us, went over really well. defenitly be going back to that city soon.
we toured with an all girl punk band, crusty punk group named the homewreckers, not really our style at all, but let me say these girls can thrash it out hard and oh my oh my are they ever fuckin hot! haha it was great, the hotel room we had, we had fire extinguisher fights at like 6am due to being overly drunk and non caring. hah.
the 2nd night was excellent as well, we showed up to the bar and were like "what the fuck?" it was a small, classy little place, with a capacity of about only 80 people, the place was full and we played with 2 other bands and the girl band that came on the road with us. the show went well and people liked it alot, got told we need to come back real soon, sold some shirts and pathes.... nice nice...
over all it was great and we got our name out there a lot more, we are doing 5 shows in the next 2 months, probably more though, in just our city and when spring hits we will go back and add 3 extra cities onto the little tour.
hopefully with the official cd release in the summer we will be able to do a american tour. cant wait!

Zephyr Twin: thanks man! really!
well I sing, obvioulsy I write lyrics and help them construct songs and whatnot.
my buddy jeff plays guitar, and russell plays bass, and jason drums....
our style is like death metal, punk, grind... all mixed into one..... its not really definable to be honest, its just hard and fast!.
TONS of energy goes into playing our live shows, im sweating like a goddamn pig after even band practice in the basement! heh.

you can never know about bands that are noisy thrashy, shit whatever..Back in '93 i went to a fugazi concert. The opening band was like 12 people on stage with guitars and it was so shit. Totally washed out. Turns out they were Rancid. So, all you really need is a good producer.
