New Blood: Secret Tones

As of January I didn't really know of anything from San Luis Obispo besides it's mission. That is until i stumbled upon Secret Tones, Secret Tones are a gothic sort of post punk band that Thee Outernet describes as "Cure at their best, (and) Bauhaus at their most intense". Amidst San Luis' clean coastal air and beautiful clear skies Secret Tones have gradually got on their feet playing live aswell as recording and releasing their debut tape "Morning Never Comes". The second week of October finds them embarking on their first mini tour of Southern California and Arizona with dates with Trudgers Blessure Grave and No Paws. Also it will mark their Debut on Family time with a 6 song Cassette and Cdr still untitled.

This is the song "Soft Pulse" off of their self released tape.



Secret Tones Mini Tour Dates
Thursday Oct 8th Back to the Grind-Riverside W/No Paws and Trudgers
Friday Oct 9th TBA Pheonix or Tempe House Show W/Blessure Grave and Trudgers
Saturday Oct 10th Soda Bar -San Diego W/ Blessure Grave No Paws and Trudgers

All of these are going to be Trudgers first shows with its current line-up and with his debut release "Stag at the Social" on Hi Shadow!!

okay

2009 has fully began for me today with the abrupt end of the no paws / rapid youth tour. because we got snowwed into one of the worst storms in Washington history we couldn't make it to Olympia to play, then during the storm our windshield wipers went out. not to mention the van we were touring in didn't have heating / defrosters. we chose to limit our loses by not venturing towards boise salt lake city or denver and head home.

on the other hand
1. we have returned home safely
2. we had a really good time
3. we have tons of tour cdrs that we were selling at shows, because the tour is pretty much over the bands want you to have them, so just send your info to either rapid youth/no paws/ family time and we will send you a copy. these are hand made and contain rad shit. limited to 100 we probably have 60 left.

but again 2009 is now and i can't tell you how excited i am so i will try my best in list form
1. twin lion-awesome power c30 tape
2. trudgers / twin lion split cdr
3. no paws 12"
4. ports o'call / me collaborative zine
plus way more that is all that comes to mind right now

keep your eyes out and check out
Ancient Crux-interracial coupling cdr it is dope
