So many good bands playing!  Come out nerds!

First off, we had an incredible time in the West Coast, and we are hoping to make it happen more often than once every 5 1/2 years.  Thanks for making it special!

When we were over in Nevada, we got a chance to stop by Punks in Vegas, and they were kind enough to record a stripped-down version of “The Only One Who Could Ever Reach You” from our 7″ on Topshelf Records called On Time Spent Waiting or Placing the Weight of the World on the Shoulders of Those You Love the Most.  Watch it here:

In other news, we have about 9 songs already recorded, all going to various projects like splits, comps, etc.  Expect news on those soon.

The biggest news has to be that we are going to be writing for our next full length in a few weeks.  We are beyond excited for that, and we will keep you updated as we go into that.

Finally, we are hitting the road again in May, kicking it off with Bled Fest in Michigan, then a week in Canada.  Date will be posted soon.  We are also playing Stay Sweet Fest and Weapons of Mass Creation fest, in Virginia and Ohio, respectively.

In the meantime, head over to our brand new BigCartel store under the store tab.  We just put up shirts and posters along side the vinyl and cds.  Go nuts!

-We have a show in Detroit this weekend, please come! http://www.facebook.com/events/214315971986571/

-Our shirts are back in stock! http://countyourluckystars.bigcartel.com/

and!

-We are touring Canada!  Here are the dates:

May 22 – St Catharines, ON – Mansion House
May 23 – Kitchener / Waterloo, ON – venue TBA
May 24 – Ottawa, ON – GET IN TOUCH!
May 25 – Montreal, QC – Casa del Popolo (BFOS DAY 1)
May 26 – Toronto, ON – 918 Bathurst
May 27 – London or Windsor, ON – GET IN TOUCH!

Help with dates can be sent to david@bfosbooking.com

We are also going to get our own Bigcartel store soon.  I think a lot of people know we run Count Your Lucky Stars, but it will be far easier to just send them to a dedicated Empire! store.  Maybe as soon as this weekend

We just wanted to give everyone a little update on things!  One, the 7″ via Topshelf Records came in, so I’m guessing they will ship out soon.  They look like this:

In other news, the booking is going well for tour, and we will post some dates soon.  Before we go on tour, however, Cathy and I are entering Studio Minx again to record a bunch of new songs to take care of a bunch of 7″ and comp releases (including the Time as a Color, Rika, Little Viking, AND MORE!).  Very excited to knock this mama-jammers out finally!  Apologies to all those we kept waiting, we are pretty busy these days.  Today, I finished my guest vocals for the Emo Side Project album (which was being held up by me, lulz), so get pumped for that.  Andrew is a man of true talent!
