Thanks to everyone who helped us get here, this is officially nuts.
Oh today, today, what a day it is. With the brand new release of our bass player Mike's video game "Sulfur Sultans" and Brent's new book "RMO: The Life and Times of a True Artist", we've got a lot on our hands.
Not to mention it's our drummer's (MY) birthday RIGHT NOW! HOLY CHEEZUS CRUST!
.......But we have some news that saddens us........
We'll only be playing 4 shows on this upcoming tour. We had to cancel the rest of our route due to some scheduling conflicts/booking issues. BUT FEAR NOT! We'll be coming your way this spring multiple times if things work out the way we want them to.
Anyways, here are the actual upcoming dates of this mini-tour::
:: November 26th - Chattanooha, TN @ Collective Clothing Warehouse
:: November 27th - Athens, GA @ Farm255 w/ Jeffers Morning
:: November 28th - Atlanta, GA @ 529 (FREE Monday's Concert Series)
:: November 30th - Tuscaloosa, AL @ Egan's Bar w/ Piss Shivers
If you live near Atlanta, Tuscaloosa, or in between the two and want to have us do a house show or anything on the 29th, email us at diarrheaplanet@gmail.com and we'll hit you back asap!
We begin to announce the shows for our 4th and final tour of 2011! We start hitting the road again in February of 2012, starting off with a tour with our buddies
Skimask from Boston, MA - some of the raddest/craziest dudes around. Then a tour with the one and only JEFF The Brotherhood! And as if that wasn't enough, we'll be wheeling around the nation with Mean Jeans in late spring/early summer!
Our next show in Nashville is going to be THIS SUNDAY, November 13th with MELT BANANA (holyshitholyshitholyshit) and LOOK WHAT I DID!!!
Here's the event for it:: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=175537335864157
I would highly, highly recommend coming to this show and picking a copy of Loose Jewels or Aloha seeing as us, Evil Weevil, Records, and Infinity Cat Records are almost completely out of the Aloha 7"s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The release of our debut full length, "Loose Jewels" is less than a week away and it feels good. It feels great. It feels grand! So, to celebrate I thought I'd make a post.....because I finally got our press page together with as much as I possibly could for the time being.
There are separate sections on the press page for loose jewels, yama-uba 7", aloha 7", and random press.
In probably the least comedic news I've ever posted on this thing, we recently hit the internet pretty hardstyle. We went harder in the paint than we have in months. In fact, we went so hard in the paint that the paint isn't even there anymore, it's just us.
We were on the front page of SPIN's website today streaming the brand new single off our brand new upcoming record, Loose Jewels. Incredible stoked on this. Link is below.
Also, posting the routes for our 2 separate album release tours this fall/winter in the shows section, as well as pictures and finally a bio. Hit it hard in the paint ladies and gents.
We've been waiting for this for so long! TWO YEARS WITHOUT REAL NEW MATERIAL AND ITS FINALLY HERE! Our new 7" for Infinity Cat's Econoline series came out yesterday on their webstore. It will be widely available sometime later this month and at our release show for it on JULY 22nd @ The Parsonage with our babes Mom & Dad, Nighty Night, and BAMBARA.
There are only 350 copies of this new 7" so grab one before they're gone from the link below!
Oh yeah, I guess I should mention again that we recently signed to Infinity Cat Records! Home of JEFF The Brotherhood, Heavy Cream, Natural Child, PUJOL and more! We're the happiest clams on the clam counter! There's a pretty scoopty video of us signin that contract on our video page....so view it bumdees.
Alright babes, this is the realest shit. The Spits are the best punk band, along with Cy Barkley and Hans Condor. Our MAIN boobaloos over at the Nashville Cream, the blog from the Nashville Scene, are giving them some love......and hey they may have said something about us too ; )
LOOSE JEWELS IS DONE! LOOSE JEWELS IS DONE! LOOSE JEWELS IS DONE!
WE JUST ANNOUNCED 2 NEW SHOWS ON OUR SHOWS PAGES INCLUDING A LAST MINUTE FREE BASEMENT SHOW THIS WEDNESDAY, JUNE 22ND WITH BIG SURR, RICHIE, AND CHROME PONY, AT THE PARSONAGE, 3803 GRANNY WHITE PIKE, GO GO GO!
I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!! Ok, so basically here is our new blog. It has different pages where you can see EVERYTHING so I don't have to always post links to different sites! Click around! Enjoy it! Love it!
We've got two REALLY AWESOME shows coming up later this month, and you can SEE THEM ON THE SHOWS PAGE. Not even gonna say them here, click the shows page.
And the big news.......
Well, I can't tell you just yet but it's REEALLY EXCITING! REEEEEEALLY EXCITINGLY FANTASTIC!
Come back soon and I'll tell you, but until then, check out those shows and the live set from our show in Brooklyn that they recorded and mixed at Shea Stadium, on the Audio page!
We shot a really slick, really scary video for Part 1 of the Nashville's Dead Freaky Deeky video series, specifically shot and cut for the upcoming FREAKIN WEEKEND! On top of that ice cream shabazz, Nashville's Dead also has an EXCLUSIVE, FREE download of a demo of one of the singles off our new LP, Loose Jewels, which will hopefully be out in May.
Oh yeah, and we're playing Friday night of The Freakin' Weekend at the Exit/IN with the one and only Jacuzzi Boys, JEFF the Brotherhood (with whom we hit Carbondale, IL and St. Louis, MI this weekend!), and Cy Barkley & The Way Outsiders! WOAH! Check out all the Freakin Weekend info and shows here:
Our pals and Nashville comrades JEFF the Brotherhood are some of our favorite people and one of our favorite bands. These guys have been hitting it hard since way way way way way before we were even getting boners about ghosts, so it makes me more than happy to let these deets fly!
We've got a few shows coming up with JEFF and they aren't all in Nashville for once!
1. Secret, free, basement show with JEFF and Diarrhea Planet only. The date just got moved but it should be at The Other Basement in the next month. I'll post it when I know it.
2. Carbondale, Illinois and St. Louis, Missouri with JEFF and Diarrhea Planet the weekend of February 26th. Not sure of the exact venues but I know that if you're in those cities and want to see either band, you're probably in the know.
3. March 4th, Nashville's Dead presents The Freakin' Weekend show at Exit/IN with Jacuzzi Boys, JEFF the Brotherhood, Cy Barkley & The Way Outsiders, and Diarrhea Planet. That shit will be completely insane.
That's what we've got coming up with JEFF but we've also got a show on February 18th at Springwater with our good friends from New York, Space Ghost Cowboys (grab their record for free and their accompanying first record under the name Sex God from http://shackattackrecords.bandcamp.com/ .....these albums changed my life), as well as a reunited The Only Good Thing About The Forties and a couple others TBA.
As I keep typing the news just keeps rolling in! We're also about to do a split cassette with about 4 or 5 songs per side with one of our new favorite bands, The Devin Robinson Band (seriously the best dudes!).
Also, we've been digging into as many bands coming through this fine town of Nashville as we can lately and we've been grabbing tons of video in the process! Check out our RAD FRNDZ youtube channel for videos from Diarrhea Planet, Big Surr, Evan P Donohue, Turbo Fruits, Smith Westerns, Reid Magette, Salamanders, Powerbrrrd!, Cannomen, Casa Castile, Al Scorch, and more!
Go here to hit the channel hard! http://www.youtube.com/user/RADFRNDZ#p/a/u/1/WgLEU916R94
^^^^^^^^^^That's where you can buy our 7 inch. It's on Evil Weevil Records, the best label this side of the A side. Also out with them is PUJOL's new 7 inch. You can get ours there for now until ours ship to us later this week where you can get them from us at upcoming shows.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This is where you can read about the releases, courtesy of Nashville's Dead and our main baybeez over there. Love you!
We've got our debut full length Loose Jewels coming out later this year from Evil Weevil Records as well as at least 2 more brand new 7 inches from labels that we can't mention the names of just yet, but it's super exciting! We've also got some more stuff we're cooking up in the kitchen and we'll let you know more about it soon!
