The Left Coast
It’s been a while since we’ve posted. Well, since our last west coast tour, which was amazing by the way. By far the best tour I’ve been on to date! Some thanks are definitely in order to start off. First, Brian from Go! Fight! Win! for filling in on bass on this tour. Everyone check out his band. It’s good, despite the trash I talked in the van the whole trip.
Also, some people that helped us out: ERC Booking, Marty and the boys from Birds Mile Home and all the Missoula kids, Grant, Ian, and our lil’ ball of fun in Bozeman, the City of Las Vegas for robbing us blind, Willy and Rumspringer, the Shithole house, Ziggy and his amazing band Save Amos, Party Marty and the entire city of Riverside (BEST SHOW OF TOUR WITHOUT A DOUBT!!), the Sweet Revenge, and last but not least, Gobstopper (Portland’s premier Jawbreaker cover band!).
Finally… A Solid Lineup
Now, we’d like to announce our new bassist, Kevin! aka: the Chief. My history of playing music with Kevin goes a long way back, about 6 or 7 years if my counting is correct. This makes Smokejumper 100% ex-Dateless as well, as we’ve all done our tour of duty in that band. Whatever…
We’re working on getting in the studio to do a split with the Pillowfights which looks like it’s coming out on Silver Sprocket Records as well as some extra songs that might be on a 7″ or EP or might just be thrown away. Who knows?
The Holidays
The show that we have going this Friday looks to be our last of the year. It’s a memorial show for our friend Ben ‘Critical’ Russell who passed away last Fall. It’s at the Funhouse on Friday at 9:00.
So yeah, thanks to everyone who’s been cool in the past couple months, it’s been a lot of work, so it’s been nice to have good people around. The holidays are here, love each other, keep safe and warm, and we’ll see you in the New Year with all types of awesome stuff in our bag!
