Thanks to our friends in Heartbeater (check them out: http://heartbeater.net/) for showing us a good time in Nashville last night. And big thanks to our drunken Louisville friends for another wild, fun show at Cahoots the night before. We are now taking a 2 1/2 month break from playing any local shows to focus on writing some new stuff, repairing the van, and getting our proverbial shit together. With that being said, our next Louisville show is going to be a good one. Our friends and personal favorites We Are Hex (http://wearehex.bandcamp.com/) are coming through town on May 28. If you caught them back in November opening for us at Mag Bar, you know what an amazing band they are. If you missed out on that show, this is your chance to catch them again. Since their last appearance here, they have recorded a 7" with Jack White (yes, THAT Jack White) for his Third Man Records label. Catch them now, for the low low admission price of $5. Tickets are on sale at Ear X-Tacy, Headliners, and at http://www.etix.com/ticket/online/

The folks over at The Obelisk had some kind words to say about our split 7" with the Glasspack. You can check it out for yourselves here: http://theobelisk.net/obelisk/2011/03/10/glasspacktrophywivessplitreview/

In other news, Geoff will not be playing drums with us on the upcoming tour. Aaron Sortman of the most excellent Zombie Chickens From Outer Space (http://www.facebook.com/ZCFOS) will be sitting in for the Nashville show on March 13 at the 5 Spot. Eric McManus, who was our original drummer and has played with Lords in recent years, will be filling the vacancy for our seven-date East Coast jaunt March 23-29, which includes shows in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore, D.C., and Hampton VA. We are so stoked to have him on board for this brief tour that we wrote a brand new fucking song to commemorate the occasion!

Lots of shows in the pipeline. Stay tuned.....

March 12 double feature

Tony made this flyer for the two Louisville shows we have on March 12. At 3pm, we will be making a rare acoustic appearance at everyone's favorite record store, Ear X-Tacy. They still have some copies of our split 7" with the Glasspack in stock, so be sure to grab a copy while you're there. Later that evening, we will be playing at Cahoots with two of our favorite Louisville bands, Prideswallower and Zombie Chickens From Outer Space. That one is scheduled to start around 10pm. Admission is $5, or $3 for anyone who brings a canned good for donation.

Big news on the horizon, including several local and out of town shows that we're pretty excited for. In the meantime....the artwork for Old Scratch is completed. Much thanks to Jake Montefu for taking the incredible doll photographs. Check out some of his other work at www.jakemontefu.com.

Here is the album cover:
