Let's begin at the beginning

It's about time we had something a little more personal than just our myspace. We'll be using this blog to keep you more frequently updated about what's going on with our band.

In a few short days we'll hit the road for our fifth tour ever. We'll be doing a handful of days here in Michigan, in Wisconsin for the first time, and in Illinois - along with taking a day to record in Rockford with Chris from Joie de Vivre (more momentarily) - then meeting up with the good, good dudes in Cloud Mouth to make our way to Texas. We'll be bringing in 2010 by piling all seven of us in their van in Chicago and driving to St. Louis to play the big New Year's bash at the Lemp arts center.

With this blog, we're going to do our best to keep you updated from the road. Keep an eye out as that unfolds.

As for the new recording, Count Your Lucky Stars will be doing a four-way split 10" vinyl release with a song a piece from us, Annabel, Empire! Empire!, and Joie de Vivre. It's terribly exciting for us to not only be doing our first vinyl release but to share it with these three kickass bands. For our contribution, we'll be recording one of our newest songs 'Mana Burn,' which is part a calculated plot to become the first band ever sponsored by world leader in hobby games Wizards of the Coast and thus receive free Magic: the Gathering cards for life.

New shirts are on their way for this upcoming tour. Us and CloudDog will also have tour posters on hand.

Live fast.
