home from tour/show #16 and #17 with Elitist

we arrived home. practiced the night before our show with Elitist from Portland and showed up at The Blvd. to play our set. it was sloppy, but it felt good to get back into the swing of things. it was a few of our members first time meeting/seeing Elitist and it was a true treat. i dont have anything negative to say about those dudes. and by the way they are loud as fuck. seriously i dont complain about how loud bands are normally but these dudes are loud and it sounds damn good! they played a killer set and then i met up with them to smoke weed and hang out. the next day we got up early and drove down to san diego and ate at my favorite restaurant Pokez. its in downtown....and not only is the cheapest food ever: its incredible! vegan and vege friendly. i suggest you all try it. the show was at The Music Trader which is a super cool record store in SD. our friends in Demonora played too which was cool and seeing Elitist one more time was amazing. again, that band is incredible. this was a lot to write in a post about nothing really. thanks to ryan for the blvd show and to the dudes at music trader who fucking rule!

DEADHEAD SHOW #15

last night we played at the spread. thriller, regret the informer, canyons, us, and bleeding kansas all played. it was a rad night. bk was super on point (when jakes drums weren't getting fucked) and i was super pleased to hear thrillers new jams. good luck to regret the informer and canyons on their journey back home. glad they could stop through california.

this is our last show for over a month. most of us will be gone on tour with touche amore. if you're on the west coast you should go watch them. also if you are at sound and fury catch touche on sunday.

DEADHEAD SHOW #14 FULL VIDEO

thanks to chris for these....

DEADHEAD SHOW #14

last night we played at the nomad art gallery in los angeles. first off i just want to say that this is probably the best place to play in LA. a ton of kids came out, the vibe was pure and good the entire time, and a ton of awesome bands played, and a ton of amazing artwork was up as well! i couldn't have asked for anything better. we played first and the set went super well, anyone who was there saw easily one of our best performances. (i think there might be a video...we'll see) after we played badmouth did a killer set as usual. then comadre blew the fucking ceiling off that place. their reaction was out of control and sooo pure and honest. what an amazing band....then 3/5 of us played in touche amore and i can easily say it was the best reaction we'd ever gotten, truly a special night. then rotting out came and fucking destroyed faces. band is so fast.

it was one of those rare inspiring nights that makes you believe in punk rock, in doing things for the right reasons, and gives you a little hope that the kids coming up now arent all just douchebags. i cant thank anyone enough for last night. what a tuesday.

reminders: we have a show july 11th in long beach, and a show july 18th at the spread. then a break for touche amore tour. then we'll be back to record for our 10" and play more shows. make sure if you have money and time to go to Kinda Like A Fest in half moon bay, CA. vegan food, punk rock, and the bay area (how can you ask for more??)

DEADHEAD SHOW #13 + RESTRAINED breaks up

this show was at the echo. punk/hardcore record swap. thanks to ryan who set this up, really rad! we played without bass, just some extra amps. was still fine. our boy chris took some photos, so i'll post them later.

heres the important news. RESTRAINED (eric's now defunct band) broke up tonight, at the basement of Back To The Grind in Riverside. it was truly incredible for me to watch it. i have loved that band since i first saw them. eric always blew me away, and the rest of those guys are not only amazing musicians, but stand up fucking dudes. it was a great farewell to a great band. i am not going to be mad about this, in the end we must be happy that they did exist. this was a time to celebrate all that they accomplished since 2004. i love all you guys, and im so excited to seee what the future holds for everyone in that band. r.i.p. to one of the best so cal punks bands around. and big ups to moldar, rogue state, and time for change, you all played really great tonight, and said some way cool stuff! thanks RESTRAINED.
