Thursday

Thursday mentioned last week that come Monday they would have some big news. This is what they posted earlier this morning on their site:

Hey Everyone!

We are so excited to announce that after over a year of writing and recording our new record we are finally hitting the road again. We've teamed up with Shirts For a Cure and will be heading out on a full U.S. tour beginning in March! We will be playing some smaller venues on this run so it should be lots of fun. On the road with us this Spring will start off with Minus the Bear, The Number 12 Looks Like You, and We're all Broken. We can't wait to play tons of new songs (and some older ones), and to just be out in the world again! Since we will be working with Shirts For A Cure, we will have exclusive merch designs available on tour with us with all proceeds going to the Syrentha J. Savio Endowment (SSE).

If you aren't familiar with SSE or Shirts For A Cure here is a little background we got from their website www.shirtsforacure.com The Syrentha J. Savio Endowment (SSE) was established by punk rock photographer Mark Beemer in 2002. SSE provides financial assistance to underprivileged women who cannot afford expensive breast cancer medicine and therapy. Because SSE is active within the punk rock community, the Shirts For A Cure project was launched to give voice to the social concerns of punk bands and their many fans.

Pre-sale tickets are on sale. You can purchase them going here and registering. By ordering tickets through our online pre-sale you will save money as the fees are cheaper than other ticket agencies. There is a limited amount of tickets available through the pre-sale so get in there quickly!

The new record will be done VERY soon, as soon as we can share some tracks with you we will! The hardest part now is deciding which songs will be on the record and which songs we will be holding onto for later.

Also, there seems to be some confusion out there regarding which dates of the Taste of Chaos tour we are playing. We will be playing the Canadian dates ONLY this year, we but will be doing our own shows in the States leading up to the TOC tour.

Also our myspace page got a facelift so be sure to stop by and check it out. While your there make sure you sign up for our blog as we are constantly making posts and updates. www.myspace.com/thursday

Hope everyone is well! See you all in March!! Take care!!

Geoff, the lead singer of Thursday, started his own record label Astro Magnetics and brought one of his signees The Blackout Pact from Denver, Colorado to open up for them this past summer at CBGB's. They have a shit load of tour dates including the day before the Super Bowl, February 4th at the Stake House in New Canaan, Connecticut. It should be a fucking hoot! The Blackout Pact's new record "Hello sailor" is out now. Geoff produced it as well, so you can imagine all of it's glory. Check out one of their tracks here:
