Justin’s status has been downgraded from totally jacked to just mildly crippled. April’s shows will go on!
Bad news. Justin went for a follow up and the doctor said the ankle isn’t healing well. He’s been instructed not to stand without crutches and was basically told he was foolish for trying to play the shows we did. As much as it sucks we’ve had to cancel our next 4 shows including Lincoln City, Roseburg (again!), Estacada and sadly the one with 45 Grave in Portland. The promoters worked hard at setting up these shows and went out of their way to accommodate our band. We completely appreciate it so please do them a favor and check out the shows regardless. Tentatively our April shows (and tonights with DBS) are still on, but we’ll know more in two weeks with Justin’s next doctor visit.
So in a bizarre work mishap Justin managed to tear the ligament just above his ankle. What does that mean? Serious pain coupled with 4-6 weeks in cast and crutches. That time frame pretty much encompasses all of our next 15 shows. We’re going to see how this weekend goes before we decide if anything needs to be cancelled or not. Sigh…
Looks like our show with Death By Stereo on March 15th has been moved from Longview to Portland. Also, we’ve added a show in Lincoln City for March 17th. Lastly, our Bend show that got busted by the cops is rescheduled for April. Plenty more to choose from around the NW. Word.
Damn, there’s a lot of shows in the NW coming up. Highlights include shows with Death By Stereo and Paint It Black. Possibly some dates with the Independents will materialize as well. Basically we’re trying to play a whole bunch before the Undead On Arrival filming resumes in May/June. When that starts we’ll be taking some time off to write and hopefully make some recording plans. Now come see a show or buy somthing so we can afford to record again!
It’s official both this weekends shows are cancelled. Roseburg had a problem where the venue backed out and Bend had some mixup where the supposed date wasn’t actually confirmed by the promoter. Either way it’s pretty lame. We’ve got a makeup date for Roseburg in late March and hopefully someone will help us find some another show in Bend as it’s been waaaaay to long.
Mo’ podcasts for the new year. Check out this new one featuring all kinds of bands we like called Sak-Cast Radio. They are looking for new music so if you have a band get on it!
Seems that The Briefs show for Jan 6th has been cancelled due to a problem with the venue. We’re hoping TJ and the folks at Suckerpunch Recods will have it resceduled sometime soon. Good news is we have a ton of other local shows coming up.
We’ve got lots of upcoming shows after the holidays. Also, we finally have re-prints of our Spine shirt in all sizes … including Smalls and Mediums!
