Hey! So Alex is still off doing perfectly legal things in Amsterdam, but in the meantime we’ve been busy back in the states getting a number of things rolling. First off, we’re extremely excited to announce that we’ll be releasing a split 7” with our buddies Arches this January on Worthless Junk. We cut our side at Mystic Fortress in Roanoke, VA last month. Our split...

Fall Forwards
Thanks to everybody who made it out to the shows this past week. We had a great time with Super Vacations and PC Worship last Wednesday and want to thank Nile for letting us move the show after Sprout closed down.
We capped the week off with the first annual RVA Music Fest. You can check out some nice photos and write-ups from that here, here, and here. Other than that, we’re tidying up...

PREMIERE: White Laces - Hands in Mexico
Peep this sweet and beautiful, but deliciously evil video of forest nymphs who seduce a feller deep into the woods only to drown him (a la that incredible scene in O’ Brother Where Art Thou?). The band shot the video down by Texas Beach in their hometown Richmond, Virginia with some (very attractive) friends just last week. Go on, take a bite,...
Unpredictable Landlord
Hey everybody! Sorry for the dearth of posts since tour but July has been more than a little upside down. First off, thanks to Arches for being consistently awesome and helping to make this tour the best I’ve ever been on. If you haven’t purchased a copy of their new album Wide Awake yet, you should do it.
In the meantime, we’re getting ready to work on our half of a...

Disappeared Gear

Early 90’s Japanese Jaguar (Blue) w/soft case and cables inside
Sunn Beta Lead Amp Head
Small Pedaltrain board w/the following:
Digitech Whammy
Boss Tuner

Summer Jams
What you see above is a shot that Allison from the currently elusive Hot Lava took while we were in the studio the other week overdubbing vocals for our new 7”. We’re going to be shooting a video for “Hands in Mexico” on June 5th down by the river in order to see how all our friends look in high-definition while standing in ninety degree weather with high humidity.

Hey everybody. I know it’s been quite a while since I did anything but post images/dates/etc. and that’s mostly because we’ve been hauling our asses all over the country to play a ton of shows and eat delicious things from food trucks. SXSW was a really enjoyable quasi-nightmare, but we managed to end everything with a fantastic (and obviously sunburnt) house show and made it...

New Lands
Thanks so much to everyone who came out this weekend in Charlottesville and Virginia Beach for our last shows of the month. We’re completely out of tapes (again), but we’ll have vinyl with us by our next round of shows. I’d like to extend another big thanks to Diamond Center who filled in in a pinch in Charlottesville and absolutely killed it. They are an intimidating band to...

Day After Palindrome
I’m trying to churn something out blog-wise even though I’m beyond exhausted at the moment. We’ve recently announced a ton of new shows that you’ll notice over there to the right which is great because I’m beyond ready to get off my laptop (which is supposed to work as a metaphor for home, even though realistically I’m going to be doing the same thing when...

Heat Distraction
The image above may not look like much, but it signifies the first time that White Laces have successfully integrated the concept of climate control into our rehearsals. Since we started playing last year we’ve basically been at the whim of the elements, space heaters, industrial fans, and the amount of time it takes for our extremities to go numb while playing our instruments in the dead...

Noise Floor
Wow. So right now there’s an avalanche of stuff happening so bear with me.
First off, thanks to everyone who made this blur of a past week the best we’ve had so far. The Acme Thunderer launch party went incredibly well and we had a great time at the after party until the cops showed up and did their thing. Big thanks to Eddie, the bands, and everyone at The Thunderer for putting...

Heat Stroke
I’m back from Boston where I spent my birthday with Kevin finishing the mixing on the new White Laces EP/12”. I can safely say I’m incredibly psyched with how things came out and we cannot thank Kevin Micka enough for helping to make the record sound fantastic, giving us a place to stay, letting us abuse his oscillators, fending off a bat, and being all kinds of awesome...

Hey everybody. There’s quite a bit to catch up on after a lengthy internet absence. First off, I’d like to apologize to the people who’ve been sending email to the White Laces email address, since I relied too heavily on the infallibility of Google and as a result spent most of tonight replying to two weeks worth of email. Lesson learned. Secondarily, I’d like to thank...
