Oooooooh Lawdy! Summa' time is here!
Yessiree! June is well on it's way and boy is it ever beautiful!
Too bad we have no shows on the books til August...hahahaha!
But that's ok! We've got plenty to keep us busy and to keep you guys entertained while we do what needs to be done to get our asses back out on the road!
First, there's this new Commentary episode we just dropped on Soundcloud. It's all about Thieves of Thunder, the title track from the TOT album. This song was not only a slight departure for us both stylistically and lyrically, it was also Parker's debut contribution to the band. It's one of our personal favorites. We hope you enjoy learning a little something about this fun little track.
Second, We just rolled out some badass new shirts. We decided to focus on quality over quantity this time around and so opted for a small run of really nice stuff. You can learn more about the designs by going to bigcartel.mfruckus.com. Order now before they run out cuz we didn't make much!
Lastly, but not leastly, we're very stoked to be headed back to OKC for our ONLY GIG OF THE SUMMER! With tour coming up, Tony planning a big move, Ty getting ready to have his second kid and all the work associated with getting Chapter 1 of The Front Lines of Good Times released, we have unfortunately had to keep our summer schedule quite sparse. That's why, y'all need to plan a road trip out to The Blue Note in Oklahoma City, OK on August 12th 2017. We're planning a monster of a set-list and a hell of a good show. This one is not to be missed. You can buy tickets directly from us right here on our website. Just go to the shows section and click the buy ticket button.
Oh! And One More thing!
As you may remember, Ty will be unable to join us on our upcoming tour through Europe with Nitrogods and Kickin' Valentina. Ty and his wife Jessi will be expecting their 2nd child around this time and the dude has daddy duty to attend to. So, we had announced Richie Tice (Speedwolf/AxeSlasher) as Ty's fill-in, but unfortunately, Richie has had to step-down due to his own work and family responsibilities. With that update, we are proud to announce, our sub for the sub will be OuttaControllers Drummer, Joe Kadingo. This dude is sick as fuck. Seriously one of the best drummers we know and a hell of a fun guy to party with. Stay tuned for tour kickoff shows in which we will be breaking Joe in for the tour. You can stand in the crowd right next to Ty and watch him rip these songs a new asshole!
Welp, that's a lot! Let it all sink in!
Further bulletins as events warrant!
Thank you so much!
