We had a big CD "pre-release" show in Pontiac for our upcoming full length "Fantastic Gusts of Blood." Real Detroit did a big story about it here. Then the reviewed the album here. Oh, Detour did a little show review (with picutres! ooh aah) here. Everybody else has to wait until the official release on September 2nd, or at our shows this summer.

So we took this young lady on tour with us so she could take photos & videos of us. Her name was Sandra Dee, or Sallie Mae or something. Anyways, here are all of the pics in the raw. We’ll add a few select shots to the myspace & website, but for now you get the mother load.

Thanks to everybody we ran into on tour! It was a great success & a ton of fun. See you next year (if not sooner)!

After a ridiculous number of emails, debates, and internal voting campaigns (we only did 2 votes, but even one is considered ridiculous) we've come up with a title for the new record. It's called "Fantastic Gusts of Blood". Right now it's getting mastered by Roger Seibel; he's done work for bands like Modest Mouse & Tortoise. It's gonna be coming out on Suburban Sprawl in early spring, but for now here's the final track listing:

01) Venom Bowl, Kids Guts

02) Never-ending Mountain Slammer

03) Banana Gorgon

04) White Bull from the Sea

05) Back to the Deep Egg or: His Fleas Became All the People

06) The Rainbow Churn

07) In the Bat House

08) Jewels Rules

09) Barracouta Mouth

10) 100 Eyes

Scrabble Look us up on Facebook & let's play fucking Scrabulous. We are all avid Scrabblers in the van, at least until Juice took back his deluxe board. Start up a game with us & different members of our band will play with you all the time.

Hello! New site as you can see; feel free to look around and report fuck ups (thru the contact page). Thanks to our friend Dan for the use of his type design and a psychedelic nude. New functions include being able to search & comment on our news posts, receive rss updates, watch videos, etc. We'll be making more frequent news posts so check back often. Lots of other stuff has been happening at Camp Bite lately too. We traveled to Benton Harbor, MI & a couple other towns called "Detroit" & "San Francisco" to record & mix our upcoming 2nd album. We'll post our memories of that fiasco shortly. Dunno when it's coming out yet, stay tuned. Until then you can hear a couple of the new songs at our shows (more midwest dates for this fall coming up). Maybe we'll post a demo? In between recording & mixing we put out an EP called Gold Thriller, which we are totally proud of & lots of people seem to like. Also a free downloadable single for "I Like Friends" featuring the b-side "Face Parade," a song we stole from our friends The Pizazz (download it here).We toured the east coast & midwest, which was amazing. Who would've thought that North Carolina was so sweet? We will also be posting a tour journal soon, possibly including juicy details.

So much is happening! Our latest EP, "Physical Education", is now thru Joyful Noise Recordings and will be in stores May 29th. Next week we'll be at Russian Recording in Indiana putting together a brand new EP called "Gold Thriller" for Joyful Noise & Suburban Sprawl. We'll be touring for that all over the east coast & midwest in August. Before that though, we'll be hitting a few key spots in the east in May, and all of the midwest in June. New album to be recorded in July too!

I just got a few rough mixes for the remix EP, that thing is turning out pretty, weird, but good! Both remixers are furiously sculpting their masterworks as we speak. Another round of touring coming up for November thru January, w/ shows in MI, OH, IN, IL, & MN (maybe more, keep up here). We just finished recording a couple new tunes, those will be mixed soon & will end up somewhere. They're called "Beef Up!" & "Do The Physical". Expect to hear those at upcoming shows. Oh! Also make sure to get ahold of your favorite college radio station and request us - they have our CD & are eager to get some use out of it.

Midway through our first tour, shit is going like clockwork. Check the pics from our Detroit show, and then the live video of us in Chicago. CD hits stores in October, but you can get an early copy (as well as the Wild Feast themed t-shirt) right here. Lots more coming up; new tunes, remixes, videos, fall dates, DVD, etc.
