Hey everyone, I know this seems sudden, but our second record "Decline bw These Arms" will be out on Double Phantom next Tuesday. You can preorder it from the Double Phantom website, get it from us at the show we're playing on the 16th, or go by Criminal Records in the week following its release. But for now, here's a preview of what will be on the vinyl itself:
This saturday, november 20th, will be the release show for our first seven inch on Army of Bad Luck. Thy Mighty Contract & Qurious will open up, and there will be a dj set by Distal. It's only five bucks, so come out and get a seven inch!
We posted the whole seven inch on our bandcamp page as well. Take a listen! Remixes by Living Rooms, Ominous Castle, Dog Bite, and Judi Chicago.
No Fear of Pop posted a really nice preview of our upcoming 7"!
That with our mention over at theFader.com the other day... so kind.
Oh, and thanks again to Sealions for inviting us to open for their album release show. We'll be back at the 529 with Buffalo Bangers and Moodrings this Saturday.
The lovely folks at 20jazzfunkgreats wrote about a song off our EP, Out of The Sun. Here's what they had to say. Thanks dudes!
"Any band whose moniker draws on anything as cool as Ruth’s quintessential electro-pop classic is bound to raise mastermind of evil-style eyebrows at 20jazzfunkgreats’ titanium obelisk. So we press play in our custom sound console to verify if the sounds fulfil the promise of the music, and it does, it does- Out of the Sun is a vicious AC1D virus straight off Juan Atkins’ software shop compiled into machine code to interface with some seriously outdated post-punk hardware. The elegantly stark output that ensues wouldn’t be out of place in some ‘best of’ DFA compilation.
This is music for a high-tech heist gone wrong in Lagrange Pt. 1, a message of intrigue and death scribbled in neon over the pitch black surface of Earth’s most intimate geostationary orbit."
Hey everyone. We, the stalwart lads of Roman Photos have made Tshirts (and a few tote bags) for people to enjoy. Get one, and you can look as cool as this cool guy.
Okay folks, here's two shows upcoming in the next week.
This first one (the flyer is a little blurry, I couldn't find a better resolution one around) is at the eyedrum with Teeth Mountain and Gold Ghost, with Em from Backpocket doing a group drawing thing. March 29th.
Now this guy, is at the Highland Inn Ballroom on April 3rd, with Social Studies.
Hey everyone, Roman Photos is actually at work on a neat little Party to go mix that we're going to put up for peeps to download here, a funky little podcast for the goodtimes of songs we love. So look out for that, it'll be up in the near future.
ps- My sideproject has a song up for free download, enjoy:
pps- If you still haven't downloaded the songs from the Roman Photos bandcamp site, you should get on that!
