March 2nd to the 10th we spent in queens new york with dean baltulonis of wild arctic. We recorded 12 tracks to be released on reaper records most likely in june. It was cool to work with dean again, as we recorded "stay cold" with him a year prior. Our main homie sacred reggie held us down relentlessly with a place to stay. Shout outs to his roommate who we kept awake through out the night when he most likely had work in the morning. Our bad.

Have heart, polar bear club, tui tour -
So far this has been one of my top favorites to date. The individuals in all the bands are great. Easy to get along with. The shows have been mayhem. Maxed out rooms, way diverse crowds, and everyone is going off for every band. On the way from montreal to toronto today we decided to make a quick stop at a casino, with one condition - 500 dollars on black. No other bets whatsoever. The dealer had to get the ok from her manager. He permitted the bet. him and some security watched as we rolled out screaming and yelling with 500 extra casino bucks. One of the coolest moments of my life. Fuck the system

the rest of the tour was tons of fun. dudes in have heart and polar bear club have proved to be some of my favorite dudes to tour with. hopefully we get the chance to do it again

someone in traverse city caught "soul vice" and "tui" which will be featured on the lp. despite a "no stage diving" rule, the show was a good time -


UNITED BLOOD FEST in richmond was too good. im sorry for anyone that missed it. as i had predicted, bad seed had one of the top craziest sets. unfortunately our van broke down in richmond and it's still there, somewhere. hit us up if you know any sweet mechanics in rva.

May 8th we leave for europe with terror. Born from pain, and stick to your guns. Look forward to seeing some euro homies.

We recently returned home from just over 3 weeks on the road with reign supreme, full blown chaos, and dirty money. the trip was full of long agonizing drives. we shared a van with dirty money, smac man, and and a nice young man named nick, so with 12 dudes in one van everyone was close, personal, and under bathed. but fuck it, the tour was over all a good time and there was a lot of great turn outs. nick posted some vids and pictures and shit. check out his site or something! - www.imgoingnowherefast.com
