Only two more shows in 2007

I've been a bad little blogger. We've had tons of cool stuff going on and what have I reported to you, kind reader of the H Is for Hellgate blog? Zero. I'm an a-hole.

In my defense, I'm knee deep in partially written songs that need to be fully written in the next few weeks so that we might learn them before we go to record our next album at Avast! (!!!) in December. Stoked. So, so stoked.

Here are the cool things I've failed to tell you about:

1) Our mini-tour of Spokane, Missoula, and Portland. It rocked the m-f'in casbah. We love those towns so much, we want to take them behind the middle school and get them pregnant.

2) We played live on KEXP. Imagine the anxiety you might have if you gave a speech to about 10,000 people. Then, imagine those people being invisible. It was a weird combination of totally fun and totally stressful, but in the end, it ruled and I hope we can do it again in the future. You can stream the show until 10/13 at kexp.org under the streaming archive section.

Finally, as the title of this post states, we only have two more shows remaining in 2007. November and December have been set aside for a retreat into the back country of northern China where we'll study several styles of martial arts, become chess masters, raise cattle, and live off the fat of the land.

Thursday, October 4th at the Sunset Tavern with Bad Dream Good Breakfast and Bronze Fawn
Friday, October 26th at Mars Bar with Juhu Beach and X-Ray Press

I'm currently crapping my pants over the awesomeness of the line up of both of these shows. ATTEND!
