Back in the South

Atlanta, GA

Hey everyone, we're down in Atlanta today, and tommorrow we'll be back home in Tampa at the Masquerade(the sister club of the Masquerade we're playing tonight in Atlanta). We've had a couple of great shows in a row, at Jaxx in Virginia and Ziggy's in North Carolina. Both shows were really packed, and the crowd reaction was killer. The weather in NC and VA was still really cold, but now that we're down in Georgia, it seems like we've left the cold weather behind us. The show tonight is supposed to be being filmed by a local crew, so hopefully the show will be as great as all of the other Atlanta shows we've done in the past. Of course we're also really looking forward to playing the Masquerade in Tampa, since we haven't played that venue since 1994, when it was known as the Ritz Theater. So anyway, the first part of the "Tour of the Wretched" is almost done, but we're just getting started. Thanks to all of the fans who came out and made this tour such a great success, we hope to see the rest of you as the tour travels throughout the world this year. See you on tour! Alex

Mixed drink on the mixing board......

Trocadero, Philly

Hey everybody, we just left Philadelphia a few hours ago, and the show was KILLER, but it almost didn't even happen, as the fans who were in attendance know. We had an unexpected delay when a clumsy fan dumped a mixed drink off the balcony onto the mixing board right before our set was to begin. We were very lucky that the Troc had an extra board upstairs that they use for smaller shows, since the spill completely ruined the main mixing board. After the boards were switched out, the show went on as planned(although way past curfew), and everybody had a good time. Hopefully this and the bus problem mentioned in the last update will be the only bad luck we'll have in an otherwise near perfect tour. More news soon! Alex

Tour of the Wretched heads East

Cleveland

Hey everyone, things are still going really well out here for us. We had a great show at Harpo's in Detroit last night, and all of the other shows have been great too. Again, we thank everyone who has come out to see us and the other bands on this tour, you've made it a huge success. But of course no tour is ever completely free of problems, and yesterday we had to switch tour buses unexpectedly, due to problems that the bus company was having(that had nothing to do with us). We want to say thanks to Hypocrisy and their driver Ian for helping us with moving our gear from one bus to the other, you guys rule. Anyway, now we're on another bus, and hopefully things will go smoothly as we bring the tour to the East coast. Another thing I should mention is that the L'Amours show has been moved to the Cricket Club in New Jersey, so if you live around NYC, please help spread the word. OK thanks again to all of the fans who have made it out to the gigs so far, see the rest of you soon! Alex

Wretched Spawn tour heads to the Midwest....

Lawrence, Kansas

Hello everybody, today we are in Kansas, playing the Bottleneck in Lawrence. This should be a really good show, since every other show we've done at the Bottleneck was killer. So far the tour has been one of our best overall, with sold out shows in LA, Phoenix, and Seattle. The other bands on the tour (Hypocrisy, Exhumed, and Vile) have been kicking ass. This tour really seems to show that a 100% Death Metal tour can do very well. All of us want to say a big thank you to all of the great fans that have come out to the shows, and we look forward to seeing as many more of you as possible as "The Tour of the Wretched" continues.
