Fuhgetaboutit
Tonight I leave for a three week excursion with good friends/close personal roommates Forget the Times. I'll be guesting with them on the road as we make our way through Canada to New England and then back by way of Pennsylvania and Ohio. It's going to be a fun-filled, international adventure in experimental noise rock and roll hedonism. Check out the tour dates here and if you happen to have had the foresight to live anywhere near any of the locations we're hitting up, then come hang out!
Also, everyone on the trip will be working to keep a tour blog updated. You can find that here.
Once I'm home, the Reptilian will be recording four new songs for a couple of split 7" releases. We have shows booked around Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids in June, starting on the 5th with our Milwaukee boys Living and Wrestling down at the Anthill. All kinds of other exciting things will be happening and more on that will surface as we get to it.
Love Actually,
Russ

Show just announced this Friday!
We were just added to the bill this Friday at Louie's Trophy House Grill (est. 1918) with Pile, on tour from Boston, as well as local area boys Chinook and Joshualien. The show will be starting at 10PM and will cost you a reasonable three dollars.
Come on out and show some support for East coast musicians a long way from home. Excited that this will be the first chance we've had to play with Chinook, whom if you're not familiar with, kick mad ass.

Check the old fly shit
There's still so much that could be said about our last tour, but one of the best parts about the trip was getting to hook up some huge shows with some of our best friends Annabel and Joie De Vivre on the way down to Texas and at SXSW. On the road with them was filmmaker/enthusiast/all-around-rad-dude Matt Youngblood who is working on putting together a documentary on DIY music culture.
Matt's done work with Joie before, which you may be familiar with, and he recently put together a trailer for his latest effort. It looks amazing and I wanted to share it with you. There's even about four seconds of live footage of us in there.
You can find out more on the project as it develops through the DIY or Not facebook page.

Reptilian Empire
We're back! Just wrapped up our two and a half weeks of touring with Empire! Empire! and it feels great to be home, especially after a homecoming show like the one we had last night at the Strutt.
The tour was a wild success.
Made some new friends along the way...
Saw some old friends as well...
Experienced some amazing hospitality...
And partied. Hard.
All praise be to Malthar.

Welcome to February
Is it as snowy for you as it is for us?
We've got a show this Friday with a ton of friends including the best budes/best band Joie De Vivre. This was going to happen in Sturgis but when the show wasn't coming together and in danger of not happening, our boy Jack stepped in and moved it to Generic in South Bend. Thank goodness for good people.
Get ready to get your carpool on this weekend...
And the next...
Dan is going to be filling in on bass for Empire! Empire! at this show. Besides, you would just be a darn fool to miss a lineup this good. Plus, the night before we'll be playing at Juke's with Charles the Osprey and Cain Marko. It'll be a good weekend to be in Grand Rapids.
Also we are making our way to SXSW this year with Empire! Empire!. We are doing a two and a half week tour there and back March 11th-March 28th. Here are the tentative dates for that. Get at us if you can help with any dates, we will update once we get more confirmed.
