Days Turn Black 7"

Drawblank #16

The wait is over. The leftovers of the leftovers have finally surfaced. 4 unreleased songs that sat for 18 years on the original nms tapes have now been released. A short 1 sided 7" with 3 originals (1 very short instrumental) and the long rumored Negative Approach cover that was supposed to be on the reproach comp ugly pop records put out. The first press was available at MDF & Chaos in Tejas.  If this blog has shown you anything there will be variations.

The oakland show was packed. Over 1000 people turned out on a warm Nor Cal Saturday evening. The band busted out nazi killer for the first time at this show and had special nazi killer shirts. Check some photos by Patrick Liston

Yes its true...

Speculated on elsewhere in the blog, there will be a limited one sided 4 song 7" available at MDF and Tejas. It will feature the "leftovers of the leftovers" from the NMS sessions (2 short songs, 1 even shorter instrumental, and the long rumored Negative Approach cover) Drawblank CEO says it will be limited to somewhere around 1000 copies and available only at these 2 shows. So you better get your ass to TEJAS and start waiting on the merch line now. Or you could always just buy the normal press when it comes out on deepsix sometime this summer.

Plates being tested...

There are 3 videos floating around from the Miami show. Here is the best one from the house cam/ soundboard. This show was a blast. People were going off. As always, Stage Potatoes fuck off!!

T shirts didn't show up in time for the show so they are available online for a short time. Get em here from the guy who booked the Miami show if you are quick. Speedfreak Events

Break The Che

The weather and boners doing pullups on the rafters put a little damper on the show but it was still a good time. I was expecting the same set for all these reunion shows, but it was a nice surprise to have it completely changed up. Pretty cool pic from Evan Burke

So how was Infest?

Better than you could ever have dreamed they would be. Unless you are a moron you better get a ticket to Tejas or Miami. Every other show is sold out (200 tickets will be available day of show at the metro in Oakland) The LA show was beyond packed and they had to turn hundreds of people away. There are talks of a few other shows but nothing is definite and the band is saying this wont happen forever. Don't wait for them to come to your town because that probably ain't gonna happen.
