As of right now, Nash, our guitarist, is in England. So for the time being, our bassist Derek is playing guitar and we will continue to play shows without a bassist until Nash's return.
Nash will be back on June 30th, so any shows after that, we will be playing as a full band.

I Rise, No Turning Back, Wake Up Call
Last night, we were supposed to play at the Rooftop with I Rise, No Turning Back, Wake Up Call, Divebomb! and Post Collapse. And I was supposed to be Divebomb!'s last show. Shit happens and The Rooftop didn't want to do it. I heard something about mildew problems (due to recent flooding in Franklin), but I don't know.
Our buddy Josh, who booked the show, pulled some strings and got the show moved to The Gear. The Gear is an all Christian venue right across the street. We show up there and the dudes at The Gear said that they were only taking the touring bands from the bill onto their show because they already had 2 or 3 bands booked for the night. And we didn't know that upon our arrival.
We show up to the show and they told us the news. Derek, our acting guitarist, was pissed and stormed out. I talked to the guys and explained to them what had happened and they let us play first but they said that we had to omit "Killing People When They're Already Dead" (probably our worst song) and amend the lyrics for various other songs. No problem.
Before we played, we saw a security guard with a gun. Joey (a friend of the band) heard the guard say to his wife, "Make sure you get me my gun. Things are gonna get crazy tonight. Kids: if things get crazy, I want you to go outside."
So, we play first. There wasn't as many people in there as we would have liked, but it was alright. Our set was good except for when I accidentally unplugged Derek's guitar.
Then some other local bands played. The I Rise takes the stage and the place erupts. It was pretty rad. Totally cool dudes. No Turning Back came on and they were rad as hell. UK HARDCORE!
When Wake Up Call came on, everyone was moving. The singer made a comment about how the security guard had a gun and how they thought it was lame that the venue didn't want them to express themselves properly. So, during their next song, the venue shut down all the power on stage.
Everybody was pissed. They all started saying "Fuck God!" and and talking shit about the place. It was pretty funny. I kinda wish that the security guard heard his comments. He needed to hear that, but he wasn't there when they played.
Overall, it was a fun show. Hanging out with friends outside and listening to good music. You know.
