Iron Thrones/Last Chance to Reason Summer Tour – Day 1-3

Sunday, August 1st, 2010
First day of tour was mostly taken up by driving, both before and after the show in Chicago at The Double Door. We ended up playing with a couple of somewhat confusing 80′s rock/hair metal revival bands, and one really kick-ass band called The Alaya Conscious. They were good, you should see them. They’re clearly lacking the fanbase they should have, as there were only a couple of people at the show other than the bands themselves, and most of them were there to see one of the 80′s bands. We did meet a couple of cool dudes from Heavy Hitter Inc. (management/radio promo/other stuff company).

Day 2 we didn’t have a show, so we hung out at the beach and looked at some dumb teenage dudes throwing a football at passers by, and swam in the somewhat disgusting yet strangely refreshing lake Erie. Afterwards, we drove to this really nice girl named Sarah’s house outside of Columbus, where we’d end up sleeping for the next couple of nights. Day 3 we played in Columbus, again to only a couple of people, but there was free beer and the guys/girls there were nice. I think the sound guy was having a rough night, but he did the best he could with the subpar PA there. Everyone got drunk but me, because I suck at partying.

We drove back to Sarah’s house, where everyone else continued to get drunk and apparently sniff each other’s farts. Or at least our merch guy Tom did. There’s photo evidence, and he’s the only one who threw up the next morning, so I believe it. I’m working on getting the video up now: I’ll post it later if it’s YouTube-safe. (edit: picture instead)


Today we’re playing with Dethlehem in Aliquippa, PA (http://bit.ly/aliquippashow), hopefully a few people can make it out!

“The Number of the Blog” to sponsor/promote our 2010 Summer Tour

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

The extremely cool guys over at www.thenumberoftheblog.com have decided that they’d like to help us promote our upcoming 2010 Summer Tour, and we think that’s awesome! They recently reviewed “The Wretched Sun”, giving it a “666 out of 6″ (which I think is a good thing. Or an impossible thing?), seen here. We’ll post more info as things progress.

For now, here’s a slick poster I made for the tour:

Don’t forget: we still have a few slots to fill, and could use all of the promotion help we can get: streetteam [at] ironthrones [dot] com!!

2010 Summer Tour Update (LCTR, Street Team & more!)

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

While we're still working on a few dates, I'm happy to say that the majority of our Summer Tour is booked! There are a couple of shows we're really excited about, particularly the one with Irepress on August 4th. There are also a couple of shows that we could really use some help with booking, and all of them could benefit from friends/fans willing to go the extra mile and help us promote! We've been throwing around the idea of a Street Team for some time, and we figure what better time to start than right now, when your help could really make a difference? No better time, that's when.


We're still ironing out the details (no pun intended) & figuring out some cool perks for Street Team members, but for now what's certain is if you email us at streetteam AT ironthrones DOT com, we will definitely email you back personally and help get you some promotional materials. Plus, there's a nifty Street Team-only portion of our Forum that nobody can see but us/ Street Team members, and that makes it a club. And clubs are fun. Like I said, details are being worked out, but you can expect more official Street Team-related info soon.


Point being: if you enjoy our band and would like to support us on the road, please shoot us a message at streetteam AT ironthrones DOT com!


We'll be going out with a band called "Last Chance to Reason", who are currently developing a combination Album/Video Game release. That's nuts. Check 'em out HERE.
