FREE SHOW SATURDAY. (First official show with Mr.Evans)

Posted in High Fives, Media, News, Ranting, Shows, Talk on April 27, 2009 by ANCESTOR.

Sorry the update is late again. I was waiting until I had the final info and flyer for the show next saturday, which I do now and you can see….here:
5-02-09final
All the info is there, as you can see, it is FREE, as well as awesome. 2 new bands which should be a ton of fun and have very reputable personage, and 3 bands you better damn well know by now and should come out and house party with.
This will also be our first set with Chris as a member of the band.
We may do a last show with Evan down the line, he’s been a very busy (for one, he’s engaged! congratulate him when you see him) man and we managed to get Chris caught up quick and booked a bunch of shows, so we didn’t really get a chance to figure all that out.
Scott did some guest vocals on “Centrifuge”, the title track of the new Cetus EP, which is available for  FREE download now and will kick your ass repeatedly and cause you to develop a fetish for getting your ass kicked. We’ll be playing with them in Doylestown on the 14th, so make sure you catch that.
Writing has been slow as we were getting situated with Chris and dealing with life, but rest assured we are working on stuff that will cause bowel malfunctions. I think thats a good thing?
Uh…alright. More next week/when I think of things I forgot to tell you.
Oh yeah, that show is Free. Did you get that?
FREE.
- Spot.

STREAM THE WHOLE EP! and other assorted tid bits.

If you like what you hear, you should buy it.
It’s got the CD in a nice portable case, higher quality audio, lyrics, and very entertaining pictures…besides, it actually helps support us for our next recording, gas, or producing more merch, so be a decent person and pick it up if you like it. $5 bucks at any show, or $5 plus a little shipping online.

Umm, I guess there is other stuff I could post about, but I’d rather let you focus on that. SPREAD THE WORD. PLEASE. We’ll give you hugs or high fives or something.
I’ll post again soon.
Enjoy some chocolate eggs

NEW BAND MEMBER, NEW SHOWS, FREE STUFF. Snap.

Damn, I had a version of this entry typed up a week ago. I apologize again for the slackery. Trying to get some things straightened out.
We’ve added 5 shows to our myspace in the last week or so and it looks like things are going to pick up in the summer. Things might continue slow-ish (our current speed) for a month or so as we write some more, get our schedules in check, and accommodate a few changes…well, screw dancing around that one anymore:

CHRIS EVANS WILL BE OUR NEW GUITARIST, EVAN IS MOVING ON to an old people’s home or something. We love Evan and we love his contributions to what we’ve been doing, but he is cutting down on music a bit so he can work a lot and be an adult and get his hip replaced and find his dentures and stuff like that. We are extremely excited to have Chris coming in and becoming an official part of the band instead of the guy who has saved our ass a few times when someone else couldn’t play guitar. We know Chris will make the transition as if he has always been playing with us and can’t way to see where this new chapter takes us. Holy crap that sounded cheesy, but you get the idea. I’m not entirely sure what Evan is doing with his other bands, but look out for new Cetus (I make a little guest vocal appearance, YAY.) and new Hollenlarm pretty soon. They will no doubt be very awesome.

Additonal status updates:
- I’ve been sitting on a shirt design for a while, I might make it a long sleeve now. I’m working on another design that is utterly (that is not a hint, no relation to cows) ridiculous. Should have some sticker designs done very shortly and already have some buttons ready. Expect to start seeing all of it soon. I’m going to whip myself like an albino monk in a lame movie adaptation of a ridiculous book in order to get those done soon.
- Currently we have shows scheduled May 2nd, 8th, June 6th, 19, and 28th. They are all awesome for their own reasons. Spread the word and come out.  Things will be getting ridiculous.
Burdens is doing a mini-tour thing April 15th, 17th, and 18th…so you can go check those shows out since we’ll be quiet this April. Or if you’re a dude who likes putting other dudes in his mouth…I mean, I’ll probably be at a couple. Wait…damnit.
- YOU CAN STREAM ALL OF OUR “KOALACAUST” EP FOR FREE HERE. NOW. Do it. Then buy it and stop being a cheap bastard.
- Silence At Daybreak’s full-length “The Irony of Disgust” is now available for FREE download here. It costs nothing, so, now more than ever, you are a damn idiot if you don’t check it out.

Friday the 20th we played at Creep Industries and more of you should have came out. Due to the confusion with the line up, we made the show  free and all had a jolly time…plus, The Heartland were awesome (check them out, hopefully we’ll get them back around soon). Look for shows there again soon, they are trying to make it a regular thing…we may even get back there pretty soon. It’s a cool store run by nice dudes where bands play in tiny spaces with a loud PA. What more do you want?

Enjoy whatever it is you do with you life.
Converge rules you all. You know if you were there.
