WINTER’S SPLINTER
Man, it’s been a post-holiday run of useless and exhausting Bonds-ian contract speculation, ice storms, and spoonfuls of Hydroxy Cut when no one’s lookin’. I got chromium picolinate on the brain, but really, who doesn’t? Either way, hope youns are well. Thanks to all the friends in Spain and Portugal that stopped down for the recent run of solo shows with my gentlemanly Texas friends, Micah P. Hinson and Nick Phelps. We had a real good time rolling along, hanging with our driver, Titi, playing some songs and wolfing bocadillos. We were full blown pottymouthed for twelve days straight.
NEW EP
Houston Party Records will release Centro-matic’s Operation Motorcide EP this spring. Far as I know, it’ll be available via iTunes and some of those other downloadable cyber avenues as well. The tracklisting will be as follows: All This Fresh Mutiny, Atlanta, Operation Motorcide, A Celebrated Grime, Blood On The Floor, Daggers Sharp Enough, Circuits to Circuses, and 74 Cuts 74 Scars. Artwork is again done by our good friend, Dave Ewald. More info will be available here and at www.houstonpartyrecords.com as the days go.
BACK TO THE WOODS
South San Gabriel embarks on its next recording experience in just a few days. We’ll hole up traditional-like in the confines of Argyle, Texas’ Echo Lab until early March. We’ll have all Centro-matic folks, Matt Stoessel, Bryan Vandivier and Robert Gomez onhand to make this stark and dark recording dream real.
SHOWS
No confirmations at the moment due to recording, though I will trek the midwest solo with David Bazan (Pedro the Lion) in April, and Centro-matic will return to Spain and possibly other parts of Europe come late Spring. We’re working on fitting a few Texas shows in there as well, hopefully prior to the baseball Rangers being mathematically eliminated from playoff qualification. All dates will be listed and sent just as soon as we have ’em in hand. Godspeed, thanks for reading and happy tax book preparin’. -Will J.
