back from win-tour, review in MRR#320, john wilkes youth, subversives

yo everyone! we just returned home from our five day mini-tour. five days, four shows, two car accidents, one barrel of cat poop, and one tire blow-out later: we're back in new jersey.

big ups to cenk and ben at the charleston, dire wolf, geoff/isolation/defiant hearts, max and koopa troopa beach, lisa from allston massachusetts, cobra lung, v-boys, dennis and the terrordome, tyler/ghosting, josh and amelia from burlington vermont, rob/brain shivers, juice and the providence rhode island kids, and everyone else i am forgetting. we had a radically hellacious time because of you. thank you so much.

our good friend and 'manager' GG wrote a country song on the road entitled "when the bucks go stompin' in the meadow." more information on this will be available soon.

the Stressed Out/Rip it Up split 7" made a Top 10 list in the January 2010 issue #320 of MAXIMUMROCKNROLL. cool! make george googa proud and check it here: http://maximumrocknroll.com/top-tens/

our next show right now is saturday, january 23, 2010 in new jersey. it is with our friends TORCHBEARER, CHAMBERS, and BANQUETS. this show is a benefit for three members of the hchc community who recently went to court and received over $1300 in fines for noise violation tickets that they received over the summer. bring $5 to support kids who are doing shows so that these shows can keep happening. (if you know us, you know the story. ask us in person.)

we have two new bands: john wilkes youth and subversives. i sing in JxWxYx and we play simple, fun, hardcore punk. download the demo: http://www.mediafire.com/?djzmnyvy1jy stalk: http://johnwilkesyouth.blogspot.com listen: http://www.myspace.com/johnwilkesyouth our first two shows are january 11 and february 6 in new brunswick, new jersey.

we are recording this month for i'mnotsurewhat. i need to take a shower. i think that's all for now. what i'm listening to right now: isolation from massachusetts. get into it: http://isolation.bandcamp.com
