TOUR! NOW!

Here I (Jamie) am, waiting for the boys (Ben and Jon) to arrive (suprise! they're late!) so we can shove all of our gear and two-and-a-half weeks of living supplies into the pictured van. HOORAY!!

Not only are we pumped to take our new three-piece act on the road and play songs from the new album, we have a few NEW new songs to throw at the west and southwest. That's how fresh we keep it here at H Is for Hellgate, people.

And, as if the modern spiritual quest that is the indie band tour wasn't enough for us, we're also going to attempt to complete the RPM Challenge - writing and recording an album in the month of February in the van. How sick is that? (I think I'm using the term "sick" correctly here yes, kids?)

Ben will also be filming our hilarious adventures with a neat little video recording device he got for Christmas. We'll post 'em here on the blog, but head over to our YouTube (youtube.com/hisforhellgate) site if you need to waste some time at work and get caught up on Hellgate adventures of the past.
