We just arrived home from one hell of a tour with the Holydrug Couple. Thanks to everyone that came out and made all of the shows outstanding. Glad we kept it short because you guys wiped us completely out of merch. We have less then 100 copies of the second pressing of “Spectra Spirit” on random color vinyl. Grab one from the store before they are all gone. Big thanks to our new brothers from another mother land The Holydrug Couple, and thanks to Haunted Leather, Heaven’s Gateway Drugs, and Suni Daze for all being dudes. See ya Midnight this Saturday for the Metro Times Blowout at Whisky in the Jar.

Right off, thanks to everyone that checked us out this past weekend on our short tour with Velvet Elvis. We had a great time and enjoyed seeing so many of our friends again.

The first, yellowish-orange vinyl pressing of Spectra Spirit is SOLD OUT! If you didn’t get one, fear not! The second pressing is now available on multi-colored vinyl. Seriously, there’s at least six different colors available. Collect them all! EDIT: We’ve also found eight more copies of the first, self-titled LP and have made them available to purchase in the store.

This coming weekend (August 3rd and 4th) we will be in the Badger State playing a couple awesome gigs. On the 3rd we’ll be at Frank’s Power Plant with our very good friends, Milwaukee thrashers Architects of the Aftermath. The next night, we’ll be trippin’ under the stars at the Sunny Daze Music Mass in Glenbeulah, WI. This is a free, BYOB & Food event, and camping is encouraged. Hit the link to check out the awesome bands that will be playing, starting at noon.

We have a few more shows coming up over the next couple months, including a few trips to Cincy. Check the Tour page for more details. Thanks a lot to everyone that has been coming out and spreading the word!
