home for the holidays

we are back home right now and staying put until january, the last 3 months have been a lot of fun, thanks again to everyone that helped us out, there were a lot of you, we really appreciate it! we are all working or at least trying to get work over december and the first week of january and then we are off on tour again. we're heading to eastern europe for a few weeks with our good friends ASTPAI and as soon as we get back to the UK we will be on tour for the best part of two weeks with THE FLATLINERS and OK PILOT, exciting stuff! all of the dates will be online really soon, there are still a couple of things to figure out so bare with us...

here is a poster for our tour in january, we will have a2 screen sprints available at the shows, i'm guessing that not that many people that follow this here blog will be at those shows so if you would like a poster before we leave please get in touch and we can sort that out; thearteries@gmail.com

this month's HUCK magazine includes a feature about us and the release of dead sea etc. it looks swell and so does the rest of the content so go and get yourself a copy...

in other news THIS 7"

is finally going to happen, it should be available early in the new year!

here are some more photos that never got uploaded from our trip down the east coast last month, all of the really swish ones were snapped by Owen Pillai;

i think that covers everything, SSSSNAKES are playing some shows this month as The Ramonessss. stay tuned for all the tour dates...

thanks

a couple of peter criss photos

thanks very much to Katie Hovland for snapping these

ECFU!

we got beck to new jersey today, we left gainesville at 7pm yesterday, it was one hell of a drive, us brits aren't used to that, but then again we're not used to 5 hour energy shots either! the tour down to The Fest with STATIC RADIO NJ was a total blast, every show was a lot of fun and we saw some really cool and really strange places, we also made a lot of new friends and got the chance to catch up with some old buddies too. we also had the chance to play with some bodacious bands; Young Livers, Transgressions, Iron Chic, Pacer, Big Eyes, Back Pocket, The Great Explainer, The Arrivals to name a few... 

Thanks to everyone that helped us out with a show and a place to stay, we really appreciate the help, you rule! 

here are some snaps that we took along the way;

there should be a bunch more to come, we dressed up as Peter Criss for our fest show and so did all the cool people is the crowd, hopefully i'll be able to track down some photos...

we're staying in jersey until we fly home at the end of the week, i think we're going to try and play a few shows this week, we're playing at the Asbury Lanes on wednesday night
