Sad news:
Tariq Ali, the bass player for local stoner/doom band Couldron, has passed away. Info here:
Tariq was a nice guy and Couldron was a good band, and we’re glad to have shared a stage with him and with them. Our condolences to all of Tariq’s friends and family.
Just a quick update to let the small number of people who might read this know we’re not dead.
We’re currently drilling songs for recording. We hope to go into the studio at the end of this year, sometime, then have the new record out in the first chunk of 2010, followed by playing some shows. We’re very happy with the songs, we’re very happy with the addition of Bob to the band, and we’re very happy with the fact that U.S. Christmas is coming to Chicago again (with Earthless, no less!).
Currently listening to Like Rats.
Have a good rest of September!
