THIS WEEK

we have two awesome shows coming up.

the first is on thursday at the sidebar in baltimore with the blue letter (VA), (children are the) settlers, and vikings!

i saw the blue letter last month with ...who calls so loud at the barclay house. they are an amazing three piece out of richmond, va. fast, high energy with screeching vocals. i picked up a 7" of theirs and im really enjoying it. both CATS and vikings! are out of hagerstown, md. we met CATS when they were simply "settlers" at a show at the ottobar. definitely one of the most somber, saddest, and heart felt performances that i had seen in awhile. watching them is almost like watching a dying animal on the side of the road. it makes you really uncomfortable, but it's also really intriguing and interesting at the same time. we met the boys in vikings! at our second show. these guys are nuts, full of energy and explosive. these guys love music and take the time to write tunes which emulate all of the screamo and emo music they deafen their ears with everyday im sure.

our second show is a sunday matinee on october 12th

the hagerstown/frederick scene is really something else. we were first contacted by vikings to play a show they and some other people were setting up. they had some how found us on myspace and really dug what we were doing. we agreed to play and it was scheduled to be our first show. at the last minute we were asked to play another show before this one, but we played in hagerstown for our second. what we encountered was a thriving scene full of tons of kids who you could tell that music was their life. they were all so welcoming and excited to see us that it was almost a little nerve racking (mind you this was our second show). the show ended up being great and we met tons of great people and made a bunch of new friends. we really look forward to returning to that scene this sunday and hope to have just as much fun as we did the first time we rolled through there.

more information on both shows can be found on our myspace where we also have two shirts available for sale right now. either shirt is $15 w/ shipping included. order off our myspace or save some money and pick one up at a show
