Live Tape - Almost.

2009-03-13T08:56:00.000-07:00

Art is all done and the Live tape is actually going to come out.
Thanks to Chris at Drugged Conscience records.
GO here - http://www.druggedconscience.com/ -- It will be out soon.

Also I have a few of the Euro versions of the LP left (1 extra song.) Email if you'd like one. I have many of the US pressing if you'd like one of those...

Pre-Order covers/LIVE TAPE

2008-12-12T12:31:00.000-08:00

The US version of our LP is finally out on Third Party records. We're normally not a limited version kind of band, but for the pre-ordered copies of the record we made different covers for 100 of them. There is no colored vinyl for the first press. The covers can be seen in the picture below (click to make it huge.) They feature live shots from a few shows in Europe taken by our friend Patrick. There are about 13 different versions and they are all photo prints (on thick photo paper) attached to glossy LP jackets. The backs are all the same and are the art from the back of the LP and the song list.

I have about 10 copies left over if anyone actually gives a shit and wants one send 15$ to xabbottx @ gmail.com you can get one. Because there are only a few left over, please email me first to check if there are any left. First come first serve. If you are just looking for a regular version you can buy that as well for 13$

LIVE TAPE:
Many people have asked me if that live tape we talked about a while back is ever coming out. Well it actually is. Our friend Chris from Florida who runs Drugged Conscience records is putting out the live tape for us. Don't expect it anytime ultra soon as I'm sure he's got his plate full at the moment. But check the Drugged Conscience website for details soon. There will only be 100, so again if you care take note.

Alive and LP (us version) SOON!
