Time to get off our asses

and start getting some shit done. We’re playing a free show a week from now, (Sunday, the 10th) and it’ll be the first time we’ve played with all three of us in a while, so we’re all pretty excited.

It looks like we’ll also be playing a show on the 16th, but I don’t have any info on that yet. I’ll be sure to post about it once I find out.

In other news, we’ve got a bunch of newer songs written and I’m hoping to go and record them this summer and put out another EP. It’ll be full of what we think are the best songs that we’ve written so far, so we’re really excited about that too.

Hell yeah.

Hey guys!

It’s been a while since I’ve updated here. I guess it’s been a while since I’ve had anything to say. In a few days I’m moving to West Lafayette, Indiana, and we’re playing our first show in a while tomorrow for my going away party. The show’s going to be awesome, and I’m really excited for it. 

As some of you may or may not know, Lawrence is dealing with some stuff right now, and he might have to sit tomorrow’s set out, which will be the biggest bummer. We’ve practiced with our friend Mike, and while he’s got a good handle on the songs, it won’t be the same. It’s never the same unless all three of us are there, fucking up the songs TOGETHER. 

Not sure what we’ve got going on in the future except that I really want to record a full length, and there’s been talk of trekking up to Cleveland for a day or two to record some demos, which will be really awesome, not just because we want to get some or our new songs recorded, but because we’ll get to hang out with our boys in Setbacks, who are always fun dudes. 

There have been lots of rumors (mostly started by me) that Derailer is breaking up and tomorrow is our last show. Unfortunately for you, that’s not true. We’ve got no plans to quit right now, even if the next couple of months are slow and strenuous. We’re writing the best songs we’ve ever written and having too much fun playing them to stop now. So even if we’re only playing one show every two months, we’ll still be around.

Thanks for everything, keep it up.

Shows! Updates! Full Length!

This Friday, we’ll be travelling down to Indianapolis to play the 2 year anniversary of our friends It’s All Happening at the Hoosier Dome. The van’s full of friends and it’s gonna be a blast. We’ll have our last few shirts and the last few tapes and cd’s that we have. Once the tapes are gone, they’re gone, but I think we might repress Moose Country and the tour EP songs as a cd or tape for our next tour.

On the 29th we’ll be road tripping down to Columbus, Ohio, which as always been a favorite of ours. We’ll be playing with the rad dudes in La Bella Charade at Bernies. It’s really awesome to have an excuse to get down there again.

We also played a radio show a few weeks ago and we’ll hopefully have some audio from that. It was a hell of a time and we’d like to thank the dudes from Flying Around the Sun over at WJOB once again for inviting us.

Some of you may know that we’ve been working on writing a full length. At this point, we’ve got about 8 songs written, and we’ve been working on more. We want to record late next month, or maybe April. There’s also talks of an early April spring break tour, as well as some ideas for some splits.

Get stoked!

Just wanted to post a quick but awesome update:

I know it’s been a while since we’ve said or done anything new, but we’ve got some upcoming stuff that’ll be awesome.

First things first, Happy New Year! Later this month we’ll be playing live in studio at WJOB (AM 1230) on a show called Flying Around the Sun. The dudes who run that show are awesome and have played us before and now we’re being invited to play which is really cool. We’ll be playing a new song too, so keep an eye out for it!

Speaking of new songs, we haven’t done much in the way of shows because we’re prepping for a full length right now. We’ve got some new songs and a handful in the works, and we’ve nailed down a place to record. We’ll also be working on a split tape with Florida’s John Q Public that we were supposed to a long time ago. Not sure when that’ll happen, but it will!

As far as shows go, we’re planning on playing some more shows soon-ish as well as touring in April and again in the summer. We’re all really excited, so stay tuned!

Updates

Hey guys, it’s been a while since we’ve mentioned anything here. To be fair, it’s been a while since we’ve done anything at all, but we’re back to practicing and writing songs and we’ll hopefully be recording them for an upcoming split with John Q Public from Florida (featuring members of Rational Anthem, hell yeah!)

Also, we got played on the radio last night for the first time ever. That was pretty sick.

Things are pretty good right now, so stay tuned!

P.S.  If you haven’t seen our video for “One for the Books,” you can check it out here or here. (that’s vimeo and youtube respectively)

Correction. On those shirts we’ve got one large and one extra large. Holy shit.
