NorthMidWest Tour 2008! Happening THIS WEEK!

September 22nd, 2008

Later this week we will leave for our NorthMidWest tour. We will only be on the road for 4 days but we are playing 3 shows, one of which is an awesome festival debuting in Grand Rapids Michigan. Fes2val the 2 man band fest! In honor of our days as a duo we are going to be performing as a bass/drums duo for this festival.

The plan is to video blog the entire trip with daily updates, so stay posted and come ‘tour’ with us :)

On our way up we are hitting up Ohio State University area at Carabar in Columbus, anyone from that area should definitely come check this show out. We have heard nothing but GREAT things about this venue and the people that are there.

It took a little while, but we managed to get on a bill in Chicago with a group of bands called UniCom. Every band working under UniCom is awesome. We are very much looking forward to mingling in that crowd and spending some time downtown Chicago.

PLEASE COME OUT, SAY WHATS UP AND LETS HANG OUT! We want to make a lot of friends on this trip to make it all worthwhile and hope that YOU are one of them :)

Here are the details below.

Next show in ATLANTA

July 30th, 2008

wow

June 29th, 2008

Seriously, wow.

Zechs Marquise blew it up at our house last night.

We recorded audio of both ours and their set and it came out REALLY good. Stay posted for download links in the near future. We have to finish mixing it but its already sounding pretty amazing.

The whole event was a success. Unfortunately the only two people that came out that I had never met before, left almost as soon as they got there…they missed out on some crazy shit.

Here are the 3 pictures that were taken all night ha! No one brought a camera =/

13DM, minus Dave(Miles from Pangaea, on effects/soundscape) who was in the corner

ZM, minus Mike(drummer) who was MIA for a while after the show

ZM owning

And upon returning to my computer, I found this

20 hours!! Good luck guys!

ALMOST TIME!

June 27th, 2008

It’s Friday, it has been a VERY long week of real life, a VERY productive week of rehearsals and jamming, and a VERY exciting build up for this weekends show.

We will be recording audio and video of our entire set, and hopefully of Zechs as well, so stay tuned for all of you outside of GA that can’t make it, and for all of you that DO live in GA and are going to sit at home this Sunday and watch So You Think You Can Dance on the DVR…..

….

WE WILL DESTROY

June 23rd, 2008

This week is a big show for us at the O Zone Lair. It’s a house show and we are performing with Zechs Marquise as you may already know, and it is going to rule the new school.

Check out The O Zone Lair for details and directions.

Athens last night

June 20th, 2008

So we played upstairs Tasty World last night for the first time, and it was excellent.

We played as a bass/drums duo and came out huge. Definitely some good energy in that venue last night.

We will have some pics and videos from the set later.

Next up Zech Marquise stopping in Atlanta :)

Some interesting progress

June 18th, 2008

Last night Dave from Miles from Pangaea came over to jam with us and things got pretty weird. He did bring his guitar and amp and pedals over, but he didn’t really play the guitar…instead he opted to play the pedals and use the guitar just to get noise flowing through the pedals.

Seriously it was the most spaced out 13DM has ever been, and I am impressed and excited about the way he worked that into our music…and VERY excited about the jams we had. We did record it all but I do not want to post any of that up just yet. It was good but we will be jamming again a few times next week and I am sure that the jams will come out even better(and my recording and mixes of the live music)…so stay tuned for fresh jams :)
