Hi Friends,

Ok this month is not a fancy newsletter but we wanted to give you an end of summer update and let you know about some shows that are coming up.

Shows and welcome back Vic!
The past couple months have been extremely busy for all of us – Mike started a new job, Kevin is prepping for school at UC Davis and I got married. We also re-located our practice space. All this stuff kept us from being able to put any shows together but we were fortunate enough to get a couple to help close out the summer:

Friday August 22nd, 2008
The Lounge Underground
638 Wave St
Monterey, CA 93940
with Power Solo and Hate for State
21 and up

Thursday September 4th, 2008

The Caravan Lounge
98 S Almaden Ave
San Jose, CA 95113
with The Nothing
21 and up – Free

We’d also like to welcome back Vic Rodriguez who will be filling in part-time on bass. In fact, at this Friday’s show at the Lounge Underground we will be playing two sets, one with Vic and one with Kevin! We’ll be playing a bunch of songs from Destined to be Damned as well as the new material so it should be an awesome show.

Recording!
We haven’t been completely idle these past few months. We’re in the process of recording a few of the new tunes and the first is almost done! We’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready and posted online for you to download and listen.

Mailing list!
Keep an eye out for another email from us real soon – we’re moving our mailing list to Reverb Nation which should make sending and signing up for these emails so much easier. If you get a notification, remember to click the link to ‘opt-in’ so that you get all these updates to your email inbox.

That’s it – thanks and hope to see you at one of the upcoming shows! Be sure to check out all these links for more info, songs, videos, pictures, etc…
