Dad Child

We decided to drive all day, all night, and all day again. From Santa Cruz to Denver. I'm actually fully enjoying the drive and longevity, moreso than the idea of stopping at a hotel.

Nevada Moon and Me

Saving myself for another chance to pulverize.

Come Between Us

We keep to ourselves, until you keep to us.

Forty Nine Ghosts

Played at a haunted hotel last night in the California forest. Asunder were tremendous, summoning the 49 ghosts. Witnessed some serious antics best not mentioned in public. Many caps and stems later and the realizations finally came to haunt me -- the effects of this will be evident at a later date. In the meantime, we have 1,410 miles between us and tomorrow's show. There's an insane hippy chick in Denver who claims we smashed her guitar when we played there last month (of course we did, we're metalheads right?). I'm expecting the best.

Power Windows To The Soul

Looked into the eyes of a mad woman and saw myself curling under the heat.

LArea

I really need to move to the LArea. I always live right when I'm here.

Lost Angels

Did an interview with Suicide Girls today and got a free subscription, yes! LA Weekly gave good press and we're excited to tear the roof off this crackhouse tonight.

Fred Child

We look like a rock band so we get asked what band we're in everywhere we go. Due to the offensive nature of our name we started telling curious truckstop shopkeepers that we are "Fred Child." I'm Fred, that's Ed, Ned, Ted and Bill Child.

Thirstbutter

After a while, there was two of everything -- two shots of tequila, two pints of beer, two bands. This duality was courtesy of the kind folks at Jackson Guitars.

I Wanna Go Home (To Sweden)

Witchcraft have been so amazing on this tour - last night was a chaotic blur of dive bars and tattoos. I heart the Swedes.

Bat Wings Patrol

Skeletonwitch's van broke down outside of Austin, so our late arrival in Albuquerque didn't seem to bug anybody. Played a dark, tight set and shared some laughs with Early Man and Valient Thorr. Then knocking it in a New Mexico suburb with the hummingbirds and coyotes. A beautiful morning with mountain and desert around us, we are cleaned and rested for today's uphill journey.

Locked And Loaded

Putting up with the emptiness - straining poorly towards any invitation.

A Texas Quickie

Played with Skeletonwitch, Early Man, Valient Thorr, and Golden Axe last night - a festival of bears. Skeletonwitch slayed, as predicted, and Texas' Golden Axe seemed like the seed of something great. We played our punk set, bolting in and out of the venue, leaving them sweaty and hungry.

Longing

For shelter. Bombs. Release from this typical day.

A New Witch

Had to say goodbye to Witchcraft last night but today we say hello to Skeletonwitch.

Living In Sin

Squalor doesn't even raise an eyebrow with Dead Child. We own everything.

Chlorinated Beetles

I swam in the motel pool with the beetles and biker family. Then had a burger at Chilli's with the band. Walked to the mall to go see Dark Knight. Then spent the next hour stepping on roaches and practicing guitar. Fell asleep listening to some amazing black metal from the early nineties, while thunder clapped above me.
