From Ryan Patterson:
Greetings all. It’s been a while since the last Coliseum update…
First, we’re very happy to welcome Coliseum’s new drummer Carter Wilson to the fold. Carter hails from Birmingham and we tracked him down on the suggestion of Young Widows, who we thank very much for the tip. He joined the band in August and has seamlessly learned our old songs while diving headlong into new material. Many movies, burritos and good times have been shared in the last few months and we look forward to many more down the road. We’ll be hitting the road this month for the first time since June, debuting some new songs and playing our first batch of shows with Carter.
We’ll be playing a last minute surprise show at Skull Alley in Louisville on Wed Oct 14th, then headed a bit southeast for a secret free show on Fri Oct 16th at the hometown of the Biltmore Estate with our good friends and labelmates who are celebrating a new album release next week… A “blue” album, if you will…
Starting Oct 28th, we’ll be joining Russian Circles and Young Widows for a brief run through the South, stopping off at The Fest in Gainesville and Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin, where we’ll all share the stage with not only the almighty Jesus Lizard, but Flipper, 7 Seconds, Melt Banana, The Night Marchers and more! Wow.
Other than these dates, we’ll continue to lay low and work hard on our as yet untitled third album… We’re deep into the writing process, taking broad steps to cross some new ground and challenge ourselves with different approaches to songwriting. Recording will commence in January 2009 with J Robbins producing, all other details will follow.
In Auxiliary Records news, the new reissue of YOUNG WIDOWS Settle Down City LP will be available this month. Featuring all new artwork, we’re really happy to finally have this great debut record back in print after being gone for a couple of years now. Keep an eye out for that.
As always, all merch from Coliseum, Auxiliary, Young Widows and many, many other great bands is available from www.ShirtKiller.com!
Thanks!
Ryan / Coliseum
