This Flood Covers the Earth tour help? [Nov. 22nd, 2006|09:10 pm]
thereceivingend
Hi. I'm Charlie. I play guitar and scream a lot in This Flood Covers the Earth, a post-hardcore band from San Diego along the lines of Botch, City of Caterpillar, Drive Like Jehu, Funeral Diner, Isis, Swing Kids, Unwound, etc. We have a Myspace account with some songs on it that you can listen to here: www.myspace.com/thisfloodcoverstheearth.

We have a split 12"/CD with fellow San Diegans Lanterns that came out this summer, and we have a new 7" coming out on Dood Records mid-December.

So far we've done a west coast tour, a southwest tour, and a full US tour, and are looking to tour the west coast again this winter... however, we've run into some snags with booking and are looking for any help that anyone could give us. This is our itinerary...

12/29 San Diego CA @ the Che Cafe, w/ Comadre, 400 Blows, Secret Fun Club
12/30 Tijuana MEX @ TBA w/ Comadre, I Am Cataclysm
12/31 Riverside CA @ the Parkview, w/ Comadre, Graf Orlock
01/01 Los Angeles CA @ ??? HELP!
01/02 Ventura / Fresno / Bakersfield CA @ ??? HELP!
01/03 San Francisco CA @ ??? HELP!
01/04 Sacramento CA @ ??? HELP!

01/05 Sonoma CA @ the Shop, w/ Brilliant Red Lights
01/06 Lower Lake CA @ Rebekah's Lodge
01/07 Salem / Eugene OR @ ??? HELP!
01/08 Portland OR @ the Posi Den, w/ Comadre
01/09 Seattle WA @ Camp Nowhere
01/10 Olympia WA @ the Witch House
01/11 Joseph OR @ the Hydrant
01/12 Reno NV @ TBA
01/13 Las Vegas @ ??? HELP!
01/14 Phoenix / Tucson AZ @ ??? HELP!

01/15 San Diego CA @ TBA, w/ Capistrano

If you think you can help us out in any way, shape, or form, we'd really appreciate it. We can be contacted via our Myspace, our email (thisfloodcoverstheearth@gmail.com), or via this medium as well.

Thanks very much for reading.

We leave soon for tour and we need some help... [Jul. 6th, 2006|09:48 pm]
thereceivingend
Hello there.

I'm about to leave on tour with my band, This Flood Covers the Earth, and our friends, Lanterns. We have a split record that just came out on History Major Records, and were hoping to play some shows this summer in support of it around the country.

Flood plays epic, heavy post-hardcore, some influences: Botch, Isis, Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Mission of Burma, Funeral Diner. Lanterns plays spacey, aggressive indie rock, some influences: Pavement, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Meneguar, Cap'n Jazz, My Bloody Valentine, Heroin. Both bands have Myspaces with some sounds on them, so you can hear for yourself, Flood's is here, Lanterns' is here.

We could really use some help on some of these dates, and honestly, we'll play pretty much anywhere, as long as it's all ages (or [grudgingly] 18+). This includes a DIY space, a club, a bar, your living room one night, your garage in the afternoon, your basement at four in the morning... well, you get the idea. We don't need guarantees or to be fed or to be given places to stay, we just need places to play, and we really will take anything and will just be stoked to each play for twenty minutes and make some new friends with the dozen or so people that trickle in and pay attention to us for two-thirds of an hour total.

We can and will offer and honor any and all show trades in San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. We try to be upstanding, role model-worthy young men.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time. Hopefully we'll hear from you and see you on the road this summer.

xoxo Charlie / Flood / Lanterns

Warped Tour anyone? Get presale tickets! [Apr. 3rd, 2006|03:49 pm]
roommatestalker
Hey! -- I just thought you might want to know that Warped Tour is offering discounted tickets for $20.24 to any show on the 2006 Warped Tour via the online presale! It's cool because you don't have to pay such huge, obnoxious service fees. Just head over to the presale at: http://www.musictoday.com/redirect/bounce.asp?cid=1049 and login with this password: warped06. The lineup is insane: Rise Against, NOFX, Thursday, Motion City Soundtrack, The Academy Is…, Against Me!, AFI, Anti-Flag, Saves The Day, The Early November and a ton more. You also have the option through the presale to purchase a 2 CD, 50 track Vans Warped Tour 2006 Compilation Album at the reduced price of $3.50, and a discounted subscription to Alternative Press Magazine for $10 that will include a special Meet And Greet Cut Pass that will let you cut to the front of the line to meet the bands at the AP Warped Tour Tent! Prices will increase once the presale ends, so you don't want to miss out on saving a TON of cash and getting awesome extras. The presale ends the day before the public onsales, so get on it!

Hi. We're going on tour. We need help. Sucks to be us. [Jan. 13th, 2006|01:00 pm]
thereceivingend
Hi there. I'm in this band called This Flood Covers the Earth. We sound like Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Don Caballero, Funeral Diner, Off Minor, etc (loud chaotic electric guitar music). We're going on tour in February and still need a little bit of help. We're really not picky, we'll play a bar, a club, a garage, a living room, a basement, a softball field, whatever. We can offer you pretty much any date you could ever want in San Diego if that's any incentive to helping us get some of these shows nailed down. We have an mp3 up on our Myspace, which is linked above. Here's our shit so far:

Feb 02 Ventura CA @ Alpine
Feb 03 ??? Central Valley or SF Bay Area help would be awesome
Feb 04 Sacramento CA @ DIY Vegan House, w/ Fuck the Forest
Feb 05 Portland OR @ High Karate House, w/ Built By Giants
Feb 06 Seattle WA @ the Funhouse (details about this below)
Feb 07 ??? Seattle / Bellingham / Tacoma, anywhere in Washington really
Feb 08 Eugene OR @ DIVA w/ Doubleplusgood
Feb 09 Reno NV @ the Spacement, w/ Acts of Sedition, Bafabegiya
Feb 10 Santa Cruz CA @ the Showbox, w/ Comadre, Mohorram Atta
Feb 11 Santa Ana CA @ Sol Art Gallery-Cafe, w/ Minus Radio, Poland Romanski

On the 6th in Seattle, we just need two bands to play. That's it. Just two bands. The Funhouse will give us the show if we get two bands to play it with us. Anyone? Anyone?

Any help at all would be very much appreciated. If you can offer any, please respond to this, or contact us through our Myspace, or shoot us a line at thisfloodcoverstheearth@gmail.com.

Thanks!

We made a record. [Nov. 7th, 2005|03:05 am]

tvfs
Hi there. We're the View From Space. We're from San Diego, CA.

We just made a record called Hands Drawn to Fire As Sailors to Sea. It's four songs in twenty-nine minutes. One of them has a gang vocal.

If Drive Like Jehu, Funeral Diner, Isis, Unwound, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and Envy were all cats and got into a fight, they'd sound something like the way we sound.

You can hear some of the songs here: click click click.

We play shows and stuff, and we could talk about them, but mostly this is a fairly typical "omgz guyz our band put out a cheaply made CD-R you should totally come see us play and/or buy one!!!1!" type of post.

So tell us what you think, and if you like it, that's cool. Maybe we'll come through the city you live in one day and you can come see us and tell us in person. Or maybe we already play in the city you live in, so you can do it sooner. Or if you don't like it, you can tell us that we suck and that abortion is a choice that our mothers should have made.

Anyway, thanks for reading... and hopefully listening.
