August Shows

Hey hey! Thanks to everyone who came out to our 15th anniversary show. We had a great time. Audio & video were captured. We have no idea if it’ll turn out watchable and/or listenable, but if it does, you’ll be the first to know.

Also, our new EP, “Remains”, is now available! You can get it on iTunes and most other online music stores, or even better, you can buy the double 7” version on clear vinyl from Little Mafia Records, or directly from us. Just click on the store link above and do the rest. A limited number were made, and they’re moving fast, so get your hands on one!

We have a handful of shows coming up in early August, most of them with Disguised As Birds, our tight bros from way back when. If we’re in your neighborhood, it’d be great to see you!

8/3/11 - Tulsa, OK @ Soundpony
8/4/11 - Oshkosh, WI @ Reptile Palace w/Disguised As Birds & Haunted Heads
8/5/11 - Madison, WI @ Frequency w/Disguised As Birds
8/6/11 - Newport, KY @ Southgate House w/Food (feat. Ed Crawford of fIREHOSE), Ampline, Knife The Symphony & Disguised As Birds 

What can we say, we love to drive…

It’s time. We leave for tour tonight, just to get a headstart on the drive to our 1st show in Denver tomorrow. We’re not even in the van yet, and we already have folks to thank: Kent Johnson at Massive Graphics for giving us a place to rehearse, and for letting us print our shirts there; Scott Twitchell & Chris Harris for helping us get our new release printed & packaged; Cody Thompson for making sure our van won’t blow up; and everyone who helped us book these shows: St. Elias in Denver, Kimo in LA, Jon Lipfert in Phoenix, and Aaron Blanchard everywhere else. Speaking of Aaron, a bunch of these shows are with his band, Jr. Worship. They’re awesome, be sure to check them out. Hope to see some of you out there! Here are the final dates:

TOUR!

Everyone survive the apocalypse? Splendid. We spent it rocking out in Tulsa & Wichita, whilst breaking in our new live 2nd guitarist. His name is Ross Lewis, and he’ll do nicely, thank you very much. If you know us, or have seen us play within the last year, you probably already know Rossy. Anyway, he’s a bit of a badass, and his addition is allowing us to bust out a coupla golden oldies, and making the newer stuff sound even better. Come out to one of our upcoming shows, introduce yourself & buy him a beer. We’ve added one pre-tour show that we’re quite excited about:

UPDATE!  S’been way too long so I’m just gonna get right to it:

We have a new EP called ‘Remains’ that is mixed, mastered and officially out the door getting made.  We’re pleased.  It came out real nice.  Recorded by John Congleton.  Mixed by Dan Dixon.  Little Mafia Records will be issuing this as a double 7”.  Should be available in about six weeks or so.  A digital version will follow shortly thereafter.   

West coast tour in June is all but booked.  We will have the new EP by then.  A decent chunk of this run will be with our friends Jr. Worship (ex-Prize Country) outta Portland.

Next show is Friday, April 29th at Norman Music Festival 4.  We’re headlining the Bill and Dee’s stage and fully plan on rocking the bejeezus out of that little room.  First local show in (almost exactly) a year when we played last year’s fest.  Don’t miss it - got a nice batch of old and new songs in the mix. 

Those are the hot ticket items.  We also have a ton of new songs demo’d.  Collectively, they more or less look like a rough draft of our sixth album.  More on that as we get closer.

Also, we finally have all our releases available for purchase directly from us! Just click the ‘Traindodge Store’ link above.

Guess that’s it.  ‘Like’ us on Facebook if you’re into that kinda thing.

Fucking Cheers then,
