!!Hellos!!

May 11th, 2010

Sorry for the lack of updates with all that’s been going on, but under the circumstances I’m sure you all understand. We are in the process getting back up to our feet and pressing on. The way things have happened the past few months it’s really been an eye opening, life changing, reality check. Let’s move forward and live the way we always wished we could.

Oooo! We have a winner for the Merch design contest we did… Congrats to Josh “Jolby” Kenyon! It was awesome to see all the creativity and ideas that came in. I definitely think this is an idea we should pursue more often. Thanks to all those who submitted.

We also have a new contest that we are doing with Crave Online, Macbeth Shoes, and Nash Guitars. Lots of cool things to win: MP3s, guitars, shoes, photo passes, vinyl, etc… More details can be found HERE.

Next thing coming up for us is the show down in San Diego this Friday, which is soon followed by our headlining tour in the summer with Kevin Devine, Bad Vein, and The Dig.

We’ll try to keep more updates coming as we get rolling. Again, thank you so much for all your support through this, we love you.

Edward

    Argh! Can’t believe I missed this contest :( I’m a designer and missed the chance to design something for my favourite band. Booooo. Serves me right for not checking the website I suppose, but if the final merch is anything like Josh’s other work it will be awesome!

    Hope you guys are doing ok and keep up the good work! I’ll keep an eye out for any future competitions!

    I actually agree with chaywa in that I found Dustin’s vocals surprisingly lacking. It’s quite an…awkward cover all round actually. They’re capable of much, much more certainly, but I found this really quite disappointing.

    No doubt I’m in the minority though so never mind.

  4. theGawFather says:

    Ouch! another contest not open to canadians. that hurts a little, especially when theirs canadian dates on the tour. feeling a little left out, but thrice is the an amazing band so i wont hold a grudge.

    Cool T-shirt but a little bit boring as well.
    Nothing i really compare Thrice with, but that doesnt matter i guess.
    Here´s mine design i made. Im not that pleased about it came out, but its OK… I hope they will do this competition another time, then i will put more time on it.

    All you guys who came up with some art for the contest should post yours, would be intresting to see :)

    I love you guys for coming to Toronto, this contest needs to be open to your friends of the north. We aren’t even that north. Some parts of Canada, are lower then parts of California.

    Mark :)

    @WelshMatt: It was not a real disappointment for me, but it wasn’t as great as the rest they put on in recent times… imo they should have covered something else than Beatles… I would like to hear how they sound doing a Wilco cover or a cover of some of the math-metal stuff Riley is listening to…

  9. Roger says:

    @ Lukas, I also think so…., a cover of some experimental or progressiv stuff would be cool, Fall of Troy or ……

    Riley listen very good and different music, it´s always interesting to check his last fm site

  10. ZnakkeD says:

    Well, i should know about this contest earlier, shame on me…

    seriously, im writing this from Brazil, and there´s one thing you guys should know too: your band and your songs bring hope for a lot of people that REALLY listen to them.

    I read about the issues concerning your parents, and i wish i could do more than just sending nice words through here, like you all did for me and for your fans, with music, to get trough hard times. It is almost unfair!

    Best wishes for all of you.

    Congrats to the contest winner! I just got my thrice ticket today for Boston, I am psyched!! Can’t wait to see you guys, been years, and most definitely looking forward to hearing the alchemy and beggars stuff live!

  12. reg says:

    As far as I know there are going to be two shows europe in the summer. Are there going to be more? I really hope so.

  13. Ben says:

    so i saw Teppeis Blog post on Invisible Children. Does that mean the charity is over with? Or did they just accomplish just one of their goals?

  14. Albert says:

    Diggin the cover! sticks to the original pretty well

  15. EDP says:

    Hey fellas, just wanted to say THANKS for coming out to San Diego this past Friday, especially with what’s been going on with your family. My prayers are still with you guys, and it is always an inspiration every time I come see you guys perform, or hear about all the work you guys do, whether it’s with music or charities. Thanks again, and god bless.

  16. Al says:

    @Roger

    I agree! We really need some dates for Europe.
    Hopefully this summer. The last time I went to a Thrice show was two years ago.

  25. jm says:

    Woah… Isis are breaking up. I recommend you guys head out to their last tour. It is with Cave In, after all.

    There last show is in Montreal a week after Thrice. What a week that will be! June will be the death of me.

    But ya, it’s too bad… Isis is the shit.
