Snow In Blood: The 10 Year Update

Yes, it’s been over a decade since we last updated the website, but what a decade it’s been! COVID, ect. It took a big chunk of time and energy out of everyone.

But now, we’ve finished our sixth album, Snow In Blood!:

It includes songs recorded over ten years ago, and some done just a few months ago. Most of them were worked on over that time in small batches.

The whole thing was masted by Dan Randall at Mammoth Sound Mastering, who did a phenomenal job bringing things together

The cover art was done by the amazingly talented Ulana Zahajkewycz.

It is now available to listen to on your favorite streaming service. CDs and vinyl forthcoming from Deporter Records.

Doug made a cool video for the first single, Trick Or Treat Till Death:

We played a show at Geno’s to celebrate the release last month. Lenny from Lennyvision was there to capture the whole thing. We actually wrote a song for Lenny during these sessions. Hopefully you’ll get to hear it someday soon:

2015-07-10-Asylum

A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the legendary Seattle band Mudhoney. It was an amazing experience and want to thank Mark Curdo from WCYY for putting on the show, the Asylum for hosting it, and of course Murcielago and Mudhoney for playing with us. Here’s a pic of Boo and Ed with Mark Arm, in all his glory:

Breaking Bees News!!!!

So we’ve got some good news to report! We’re still doing video shoot for our song “Troma Institute of Technology” on October 21st at Genos Rock Club. You get to wear a costume and have a great time. We’ll be playing a full set of tunes after the shoot, and it’s completely FREE!!! Facebook event here for more info.

We’ve also got some bad news to report! We thought that Lloyd Kaufman would be able to make it to film the thing in person, but he’s been called away to do a big shoot for Youtube and won’t be able to make it. To hear the whole thing, watch Boo and Tristan explain it:

10 Year Anniversary Show!

In May of 2004 we played our first show ever. It was at Geno’s in Portland with a band we share a bass player with called Pigboat. Here’s the proof:

10 years later, in May of 2014, it’s simply amazing that both bands are still together. We’re going to celebrate by having a show on 5/10, again at Genos:
