UPDATES UPDATES UPDATES

First off, sorry for lagging on the blog updates. The last few weeks have been super hectic. Don't worry though! There is tons of new shit going on in the TT camp. So let's get started...

SHAME(Trash Talk Collective/Hassle Records)

We have a new CD titled "Shame" that just came out today in the UK on our new home over there.. Hassle Records. Shame is a 30 Track Double Disc CD containing 4 of our previous releases(Walking Disease *Sold Out*, Plagues *Sold Out*, S/T *Sold Out* and East Of Eden *Sold Out*). Instead of repressing all of those records separately we decided it would be better to just throw them all on one release. Hassle has a CD/T shirt bundle for this release available for order on their website. Check it out: Hassle Records The vinyl version of "Shame" is now up for pre order through our label(Trash Talk Collective) on our website. Check it out: Shame Vinyl Pre Order The vinyl version of this release comes with HQ-180 gram vinyl, album footnotes, a full size poster and tons of extras. Pick it up now while you can! They are going fast.

UK tour with Gallows & Sharks/Mainland Euro shows starts soon

We are leaving for the UK in a few days. This year has been insane with traveling. It feels like we are flying out of the country every other week. We aren't complaining though. We can't wait to get back to the UK and experience a real cold winter. California is not even close to as cold during November/December. We are going to be over there for Thanksgiving.. Someone hook us up with a hot home made meal so we can feel like we aren't missing out on that much back in the states. The first show of our UK tour is on Nov 25th(The day before we start our UK tour with Gallows/Sharks) at The Barfly in Camden. The show is FUCKED UP/TRASH TALK/THROATS/Gallows DJing the after party. You should come out to the show if you live in the London area. It's going to be a wild one. We will also be playing a few of our own headlining shows in the UK on our days off from the Gallows/Sharks tour. One of those shows is the Rock Sound Magazine/Hassle Records/Holy Roar Records Christmas Party on Dec 15th at The Buffalo Bar in London. Rumor has it if you dress up like Santa you will be blessed with some pretty cool shit. Make it happen. After all of that UK wildness we will be making a stop in Ireland for one show in Dublin then we're off to the Mainland to play four shows. All of the dates/details for that tour are below:

And last but not least we just finished recording a new LP..

So one of the many reasons we have been off the grid lately is because we have been locked up in the studio with Joby Ford working on our new LP titled "Eyes & Nines". The record is now in the mixing stages and should be done pretty soon. We are all really stoked on this record. It's been awhile since we released our last LP so we have been itching to get out a new full release. I know everyone always says this but this is our best shit to date. There are tons of crazy suprises/wild shit going on all over it. I posted some photos while we were in the studio on our twitter. Check those out and follow us for updates on everything. This record will be out sometime early next year. Keep your eyes and ears open for more details on that as they come in...

That's all we have for right now. If you live in Europe we will be seeing you within the next few weeks. If you live in the U.S./Australia/New Zealand/Japan/Hella other places you'll have to wait till next year. Hope all is well. Over & out.

Love always,

Trash Talk

Shame

Hey all. We just teamed up with Hassle Records from London, England. They are going to release Shame, a 30 song anthology spanning Walking Disease, Plagues, S/T, and East of Eden on compact disc. You can pick that up as well as an exclusive t-shirt in their web store. We will be releasing Shame on vinyl in the states on Trash Talk Collective. Pre-orders are up now! If you have any webstore questions email g.carrots@gmail.com

More fun stuff in the works,

Euro Updates and Endnotes

Yet another tour has come to an end, and like usual, there are plenty of other surprises lined up. Big ups to Bane and Foundation for lettin us party the West Coast with 'em. Check out those dudes as they continue their tour back to the second best coast. Thanks to those of you who came out to the early gig in Seattle at Inner City Empire, to Book of Black Earth for shredding the garage with us, and to Zach/Zlog for puttin on the alleycat that served as a reason for JR to throw a bitchin party. Salinas was an awesome show especially after the radiator hijinks that kept us from catching any part of the show other than our set. Our apologies for any other tardy appearances over the past week and a half. The engine coolant industry is loving us about now. Once again we got trashed in Vegas and ran amuck all hours of the night, only to reach the hotel room in staggered intervals just before sunrise. Don't ask, we won't tell. You know about what happens there...

Attention Florida and hardcore festival goers, we're gonna be playing The Fest in Gainesville on Sunday, November 1st at Market Street Pub with Asshole Parade, Deep Sleep, Comadre, Vicious Cycle, Ampere and others.

And if you can't make it that far East, come check out the afterparty we're playing on Saturday, November 7th for Fun Fun Fun Festival in Austin. That show's gonna be wild: Negative Approach and Christ on Parade at Red 7? You're not gonna want to miss this.

If you don't know yet, we're heading overseas to do a UK tour with Gallows and Sharks later in November. We've just added some headlining shows to our existing UK dates and a few for you mainlanders too. Check 'em out:

12/01/2009 - Glasgow @ 13th Note
12/06/2009 - Leeds @ TBA
12/11/2009 - Ipswitch @ TBA
12/15/2009 - London @ The Buffalo Bar
12/16/2009 - Dublin @ TBA (Ireland)*
12/17/2009 - Gent @ The Frontline (Belgium)*
12/18/2009 - Tilburg @ Little Devil (Netherlands)*
12/20/2009 - Bochum @ Matrix (Germany)*


Until then, I'll see you in the funny papers.

Tour is almost over... Weed coma..

This shit has been insane. For starters on the 2nd day into tour we got asked to play someone's going away to prison show at 10 AM on a Saturday morning in Portland, OR. We showed up at 9:30 AM and played for about an hour to the 15 people that were actually there that early. After our set we were paid in weed. Way too much weed. Actually what am I talking about? There is no such thing as too much weed. I'm not gonna say how much we got but just know this.. we still have a few ounces left haha. Hopefully the guy who was going to prison had a good time. Good luck in there. After our 10 AM show we made our way up to Seattle to play our friends ( www.zlogblog.com ) bike race. It was a rager. Tons of people came out to hang, ride bikes, listen to music and tap the kegs. Book Of Black Earth was gnarly. After the Northwest shows we made our way down to the best state in America(California.. Obviously)to get wild on our home turf. These California shows have been fucking awesome. It's been awhile since we have done a west coast tour so it's been rad to see so many familiar faces that we haven't seen in awhile. We played Las Vegas last night. The show was a banger. A lot of money was thrown around the casinos last night. Some people won big some people lost big. It happens. Fuck it. That's all I got for right now. We gotta check out of this hotel and make our way over to Anaheim. We are playing Chain Reaction tonight w/ Bane, Foundation and Rotting Out. You should come out to the gig if you are in the area. We haven't played Chain in forever. Last time we played that venue there were way too many broken bones after the show. See you tonight! Hope all is well.

This past weekend..

..was wild to say the least. The Portland show with Despise You, Crom and Dr. Loomis was a great way to kick off a wild weekend of coast hopping. Despise You murdered it. It was my 2nd time seeing them in the past few months and they ripped. During our set at the show in Portland I dove off of the stage and landed on a girl knocking her out. I didn't notice anyone got knocked out until I got back to the stage and saw people carrying someone out of the building. Right when I saw that I had my friend run outside to make sure everything was okay and the person was doing well. He came back and told me that everything is okay and the girl is awake and doing good. I said sorry on stage at the show and had everyone give it up for her being conscious and feeling better. I couldn't find the girl who it was after the show so I figured I'd post here and say sorry for that. It was a total accident and not intentional at all. I've been knocked out way too many times at shows and it isn't fun at all so I hope she is doing fine and back in good health. After our show at Satyricon in Portland we had to drive to straight to Seattle to catch our 5am flight over to Boston. After a quick layover in Philly we finally made it Boston about 2 hours before we had to hit the stage. We all felt like real deal zombies but Boston didn't disappoint. Kids were flying everywhere. The fest was fucking rad. It felt good to be back on the east coast even if it was only for a few hours. Here are some photo's from our set at the fest check em out: http://www.flickr.com/photos/futurebreed/sets/72157622297828695/ Shout outs to KM and everyone who helped put it together. Hopefully we can make it back out there next year for the fest again. That's all I got for now. The next 9 days of my life will be spent roaming around Portland, OR with my good pal Scuba Steve. If see us in the streets say what's up. Let's do something.

Over and out.
