East Coast in April

Sooo,
Here's how things are starting to look for April & May!
Since the shows start and end in NY we'll be adding a few dates on our way to and from.  
We're all very excited to be getting back on the road and start playing the new album live! 
The fact that we'll be doing it in the company of one of my all-time favorite TX bands makes it that much sweeter!! I still listen to their 1st two albums on the regular. I honestly don't know that much about Surfer Blood, but I guess there will be plenty of time for that in a few months. We don't have all the details yet, but Trail of Dead & Surfer Blood will be taking turns playing last each night, and we'll be there bright and early for the brave of hearing and the strong of mind. 
There are a few spots we'll be returning to plus visiting several new ones.
 
See you soon!

Greeting & Salutations!

Guess it's about time to knock the dust off this thing.
Although we haven't been playing many shows over the last few months we've all managed to stay busy. D.H. found time to put together a little art show, and Nikki has been holding down a monthly music trivia night {Quiz of the Stone Age} at our favorite watering hole. As for myself, I tried to spend as much time as possible doing as little as possible.

Most of you have probably heard by now that we found a home {Kemado} for our new record.
There is a release date set for late March and we're very excited to be working with them! We drug all the gear out to the Echo Lab again, and had a very different but still great second experience working with Matt Pence out in the Argyle woods!
The recording is mixed and mastered, and we've already had a chance to listen to the vinyl test pressings!!

Here's a short teaser video with another soon to follow.

Speaking of visuals...
About a month ago our friend from Sweden Mats Ek decided it was time to make his first trip to America, and we were fortunate enough to have him choose Texas as his destination. It was just over a year ago when he blind sided us with the video for A.K.A. and we knew then if there was ever a chance to work with him in person we had to take it. He's a great guy and we all really enjoyed having him around! He took a handful of new band photos for us. One of which can be seen at the top of the site.
We also shot a ton of video footage for a song off the new record. He's currently back home cutting everything together and we can't wait to see how it turns out!
