New members, upcoming tours, etc.
Hello cyberspace. First things first, join us in welcoming Robby Scott (formerly of Cougar Express, Your Highness, Christiansen, By the Grace of God, and a ton of other bands) to the Trophy Wives family. Robby, or Bob, played his first show with us a couple of weeks back and those songs have never sounded better. Additionally, Eric McManus, who you may have seen filling in on drums for us on our previous East Coast tours, has been promoted from auxiliary drummer to third guitarist. He is still drumming for us as we write for the second LP, as Geoff is still residing in Chicago and can't be around most of the time, so....all drummer jokes at his expense are still valid and encouraged.
This new five-piece lineup will be making its public debut June 23 here in Louisville, and on the tour which follows. Here are the details as they stand currently, though keep in mind this is being updated daily:
6/28: Indianapolis, IN @ White Rabbit Cabaret w/ Dead Man's Switch, Skyhunter
6/29: Lafayette, IN @ TBA
6/30: Chicago, IL @ PRF BBQ 2012 w/ Tar, Dis-, Fake Limbs, Nonagon, Washerwoman, more. *

Hello from Trophy Wives to you...
Just updating this here thing with...uh, a few updates, if you will.
First and foremost, it gives us no pleasure whatsoever to formally announce that Elliott Turton, bro extraordinaire, conossieur of snacks, guitarist extreme, and all around hilarious guy is no longer a member of Trophy Wives. We wish him all the best with his forthcoming baby, which has a street date of June 2012, and with all of his other endeavors, including WAXEATER, for whom he still plays the aluminum bass.
Secondly, we wish to announce that recording for our second LP is currently underway. All of the drums and bass have been laid the fuck down, and it sounds incredible as expected. Tom Curtis, who produced and engineered Old Scratch, is once again at the helm. It will be released in the latter part of 2012 on Latest Flame Records. The title is still up in the air at this time. We'd really, really fucking love to call it When You Ride With the Devil..., but our attorney advised us that POLICE TEETH holds all rights to the term "devil," and that serious and merciless legal action could ensue should we ignore his warning.
Thirdly, the Wives will be making our maiden voyage to SXSW this March. We will be playing a couple of shows on the way. In fact, here are all of our upcoming shows, some of which are with our ultra fine labelmates Police Teeth (see you in court) and VICTORY AND ASSOCIATES:
February 27: Louisville, KY @ Baxter's
March 2: Louisville, KY @ Louisville Science Center
March 13: Memphis, TN @ The Hi-Tone w/ Old Coldbloods, TBA
March 15: Denton, TX @ Rubber Gloves w/ Victory and Associates, Terminator 2
March 16: Austin, TX @ Sidebar (Latest Flame SXSW showcase) w/ Victory and Associates, Nervous Curtains, the Blind Shake, System and Station
March 31: Louisville, KY @ Mag Bar w/ Police Teeth, WNBA
April 1: Indianapolis, IN @ Vibes Music w/ Police Teeth, Male Bondage
Well, that's all for now. Thanks for everything. See you in 2012....
