Summer shows (and some ain’t)

Our ears are still ringing from our show at Snug Harbor last Saturday night as part of the fantastic Treasure Fest. Thanks to all the good people that helped organize it and ensure that everything ran smoothly. We had a blast and we also got to see some incredible bands, like Restorations and Worn in Red.

But now we’re 3/4 back in Durham, 1/4 in the mountains, and we’re all getting ready for a Saturday night show at Casbah in downtown Durham with one of our favorites, American Aquarium. Pullman Strike (from Charlotte, and also founding fathers of Treasure Fest) will be joining us to help kick off this Memorial Day weekend in proper fashion–with loud rocknroll. You can buy advance tickets here or get them at the door.

Let’s talk about this album we’re working on. Here’s what we know:

1. it’s awesome
2. it ain’t finished

We’re all really excited about how it’s sounding though and we can’t wait to get it in your ears as soon as possible, THEREFORE…

We will be previewing a track or two on WKNC this Friday afternoon between 5-7 pm on the Local Beat with Adam Kincaid. Make sure you pull your car to the side of the road, tune in to 88.1, and turn that shit up.

Also, make your Halloween plans now, because Red Collar is going back to Gainesville, FL for Fest X. Going to The Fest is a punk rock pilgrimage and this year’s lineup is Fest alum only and the list of bands is unreal. We will pass along other details as we get them, including when/where we will be performing, as well as a possible tour to/from Gainesville that may include some other Fest bands.

That’s it for now. See ya soon,

Festival dates added

We just added a few shows that we are super excited to play including the PLY:stl Festival in St. Louis, MO in September and The FEST 9 in Gainesville, FL over Halloween weekend.

We are also quite pleased to be a part of a momentous occasion, the release of Rat Jackson’s CD. We’ve been waiting for it for a while and it can’t come too soon. Join us at the Broad Street Cafe in Durham, NC on August 7th for their CD release party.
