Happy end of April ! I just wanted to take a moment and give a brief update on whats going down in the TCW camp. This blog with answer the questions of: When are you playing next ? Are you ever coming out with new tunes ? Did you seriously play with Yung Joc ? And most importantly, with the increase in the price of gold and silver, how much are my molar fillings worth ?
Last week we played a show with Everclear and Yung Joc and it was pretty sick. If you are really ambitious there are some live videos up on the internets which were shot by our good friend Mizz Ash. We really can't thank everyone enough for the opportunity; it is really totally nuts to play in front of well over 1000 crowd surfing dudes and dudettes. The night ended with a celebration of the birthday of none other than our own Jamie Thomas, and a big thank you goes out to our street team managers Jess and Cynthia for the cake :) Jamie also fully intends of cutting a rug at townhouse B-2 next time we invade Bryant University, so watch out !
Most of May we are concentrating on working out some new jams which we are super pumped about thus far. We do have two great shows in May to keep our chops up though. In the middle of May we are playing with a awesome line up at Harpers Ferry in Boston, and then at the end of May we are back up to The Station in Portland to play with another great line up of bands.
Please also add "thecomingweak" on your AIM accounts because we are on quite a bit and like to chat. Have a great day !

Hello !
I am back from Mexico with a nice tan and the sneaking flavor of Sol beer still upon my tongue. Mexico was awesome, but I will jump back into the TCW saddle. Basically, we have been continuing to write new material, and while I cant let the cat out of the bag yet, I think everyone will be hearing some new tunes sooner rather than later. Also, this Saturday we are playing with Everclear and Yung Joc at Bryant University. I am not 100 percent sure whether it is students only or open to the public, so check the myspace for all the juice regarding that. It should be pretty nuts and we are really excited to play for a bunch of new faces. New merch is also on the TCW horizon ! Aight, time for me to catch up and watch the finale of John Adams and the Calzaghe/Hopkins fight. Peace !

Good morning. We played three shows this past weekend and I just wanted to give a quick update. On Thursday evening we headed up to UMASS in Lowell to play a show. Despite a few technical difficulties early on the show was really good. We were able to meet up with our friends in Fly Upright Kite so thats always a nice treat. After the show we got food on the 1st floor of the building where we played and there was some crazy rap karaoke going on. There were definitely some dudes getting their wild on with "what you know about this", very classic. On Saturday, we went up to New Hampshire and played a awesome show. All of the other bands were great and the crowd was awesome ! We are very much looking forward to going back up to New Hampshire soon. Very diverse bill with everything from a band that sounded like Death Cab to some really great metal/ metal-core bands after us. The Call for Mayday was one of them, keep your ears peeled for those dudes. Sunday night we played a home show in lovely Providence. I would go so far as to say it was possibly one of the better bills I have seen this year with The Homefront, Us Against the Archers, Far From Distant, and Lansdowne. All the bands played great and it was awesome to hear some of the new songs The Homefront recorded not too long ago. Jamie was shooting pictures like he worked for TMZ so hopefully those will get up soon. I leave for vacation tomororow, so talk to you next week :)

Hello Hello,
This past weekend was a good one. We had the opportunity to play in the WBRU Rock Hunt Semi-finals and it was a great show. The crowd was big and everyone was very very enthusiastic. The stage was perhaps the smallest we have every played on, but there was a very good vibe at the show. It was nice that we got to play with our friends in Someday Providence. All the bands played good sets and much love goes out to everyone who was up front singing along with us. This week it looks like we will be in New Hampshire, Mass and then back in RI for a great show at Club Hell. We are all pretty beat right now, so having a few days off this week should rest us up nicely for the shows this weekend. Thank you again to everyone who came out to sing along this past weekend, it was a blast, lets do it again sometime soon.
