long, long, overdue...

As you can see it has been quite awhile since we have updated this, so we thought it about time to fill everyone in on what we have been up to, we have been laying very dormant recently not really doing to much other than growing as individuals discussing ideas and future plans as well as writing. We are still alive, active, things are just moving very slowly at the moment, and we are kinda liking that... there will be new material, recordings, unlike anything we have ever done before..literally. We all appreciate all of your support and kinds words and appreciate all of your patience. and please know it will be worth the wait.

In addition to our most recent hibernation, there are some other things to discuss, a few of the members of HM have ventured off into another "new" project of sorts called "RITUALS" who have also just announced they're first live performance please check them out and support them and get ready, you can find out more about "RITUALS" at www.ritualsmusic.blogspot.com We are very excited for this new venture and hope all of you will be as well.

Getting back to more HM news we are happy to announce that we have been featured in the December 2010 issue of Decibel Magazine. Saw Her Ghost Records was featured, and we were one of the picks in addition to our label mates and friends, Beast in the Field, and Supercontinent, although this was a small mention we are very stoked that we were lucky enough to be mentioned..

Last but not least we have been getting questions on where to find merch and music online, the best place to visit would be www.sawherghost.net there you can find both records available for mailorder, you can also find our "demo sessions re-release" released on 1912 records, on itunes and various other sites. Again thanks for all of your support and love.. with out it we would cease to exist. more news soon so keep checking back...

IT'S BEEN AWHILE...

It's been awhile since our last post...
We have been very busy this year, 2 tours, SXSW, and lots of other shows...so here is some updates thus far from where we left of last in March....with SXSW. Our trip was alot of fun.. we hit the road with our friends in Nanda Devi, Toad, and Ryan from Earsplitters, some of the Earsplitters staff had already flown out to Texas and were awaiting our arrivals. When we got to Austin we were given a very warm welcome and spent some time with our buddies in Empires, Beast In the Field, and Lost Coves as well as Mark from SAW HER GHOST, it was great finanlly meeting him and the rest of the SHG crew. cause they have been friends of ours for so long now.. it almost felt like we had already been close for years now, cause we have all know each other for so long, and have been working together.. just never met face to face. We also had the privilege of seeing the dudes from Battlefields, and ADAI. while hanging out with them at their show at Plush in downtown Austin, We ended the evening seeing Torche play at Beerland while some of us went over to see Rocky Erikson play, all in all it was a very crazy, but totally enjoyable trip and Austin was very good to us... special thanks goes out to Brian for keeping us all well inebriated and putting all of us up with a place to rest our heads all weekend, not that there was much sleep going on.

So, now back in Az, we have done a few local shows with some great bands/friends KERRETA, RED SPAROWES, CASPIAN, and we have a few more dates to add to the list before summer's end. so here is the low down...

First things first, we will be playing a few select dates this summer locally in Arizona, and a few in Ca, two of these dates will be with ROSETTA and CITY OF SHIPS as they make way out to the west coast. The dates w/ ROSETTA and a few others have been posted on our myspace, so go check them out and we hope to see you there! The plan after these few dates this summer will be to come back and start writing our next release.. I say "plan" because we have been planning on do it for a couple of months now but with all the shows and touring we haven't had any time to focus on new material, we have some songs in the works, but we would like to be able to focus more on them, and that is the plan for the end of summer and beginning of fall. We have already started the process of moving into a house in Phoenix w/ our friends in BODIES (emma's side project) where we will write and start to lay down some rough demos of the new material.

Another exciting bit of news is that we would like to welcome back guitarist Josh Griffith, to the family..(josh played on all of the tracks on NEW HEAVEN/NEW EARTH and had a big hand in writing them.) He has returned from his brief absence and we are excited to have him back. We would also like to take this moment thank our friend Joe Boning from Tintype for filling in for the last couple of months.

There is a lot more to talk about but, a lot of things are still being ironed-out all we can say now is there should be another release from us before end of the year and maybe even more.. we should have the details real soon, We know all of you have been asking... so please be patient with us, and as always thank you for all of your love and support.

HERE WE COME SXSW!!!!

So, it has been a busy year so far, in January we had an amazing tour w/ The Coma Recovery, and March is going to be one of our most crazy months yet...and it is now here. As you know our new record is out and we are about to invade the southwest yet again with friends Nanda Devi, and TOAD as well as The Easplitters Crew. With everything finishing out in Austin, Tx. with 2 showcases at SXSW! The first is one is at the metropolis apts with a huge lineup of great bands w/ everyone from BATTLEFIELDS, JUNIUS and CITY OF SHIPS, to EAST OF THE WALL, and ADAI, the 2nd is for SAW HER GHOST RECORDS at a record store called trailer space located right off from downtown Austin w/ labelmates BEAST IN THE FIELD, and EMPIRES.

We will be on the road playing a few show on the way there so be sure to check out the dates that have been posted which can be found on our MYPSPACE and try to make it out.

tour blog, 1- 6, 7, 8, - 2010

so after phoenix we headed to tucson, az for a great show with good friends Long Live the Smoking Gun. It was a great show and we had alot of fun other than the fact that we were running super late on our way there and at the end of the night our locks broke on our vehicle. After a call to AAA and a few hot drinks later we were back on the road on our way to new mexico. We drove all night and arrived there about 10am in the morning... and basically froze our asses off all day when we pulled into town greg was even wearing sandals.. we were not expecting this kind of cold, but I guess that is what we get for being from Az. Later on we met up with Coma for Dinner before our show at the launchpad. it was a great show and we made a lot of new friends including the good peeps from Distances... after that show we went out to Dustin from Comas house and drank, hung out and passed out...
crawling out of our sleeping bags the next morning to a banjo jam session in the living room of Dustin's house. After some more beer and food we were off to our last show of the tour in Santa Fe at the Santa Fe brewing Co. As we rolled up to the venue we were a little worried due to the fact that there were infants and children running around and well it looked more of like a family restaurant rather than a place to have a show..the promoter insured us we had nothing to worry about and feed us full of good pizza, and tons of beer to calm our nerves, and later on the crowd did become more of a "show-going crowd"and the show actually went amazing watching The Coma Recovery every night was mos def a plus as well. after the show the weather conditions were too ruff to drive home with a trailer so the people at the brewery gave us a full on tour and even more beer to take with us... once again this turned out to be an amazing night... we all said our goodbyes and posed for one more photo..then it was back it was back to burque to get some sleep and head out for home early next morning..

 (pictured above Us, The Coma Recovery, and My Dads)
We had an amazing time, and would like to thank all of our new and current friends.. for making this happen, my dads, the coma recovery, and EVERYONE from the earsplitters co-op in cali. we love you and see you all soon!
