Mayan Psych Doom Mayan Revival! Recording soon + 2013 Tour

Fuck, its been a dark winter thus far. But at this point we start gaining LIGHT in thee North Hemispheres. Through all this cold and dark we have been crafting new music. Some of you heard 2 of the new songs while we were on tour, and the 2 shows we have played here in Portland since - and we are writing another. 3 Songs = a new full album around 40-ish min of material. Planning to Record around the End of February. Budget aside, we will find a way to mark these upon some vinyl! We need a Label! All you Moms, Dads, Friends, & Freaks out there feel free to Donate! Some shows currently in the works for PDX, Eugene, and possibly Seattle, Bellingham, Olympia , Tacoma.

Will be planning a West Coast / South West Tour Soon for April 2013.
David Wolf is with us again on Drums! Thank you Jonathan Nicosia for all you dedication to making this last Tour happen. Much Love.

Thanks to all for the support!

And just because the world did not end like Hollywood would have you believe (and they did with a majority of the populace - at least in MIND thru Fear ) in all their black majik wizardry and deception dose not mean that the Maya were and are a brilliant culture / genius mathematicians and astrologers. Let the laser like focus of the 12-21-12 date show that we have a ways to climb before we live the like of the Mayans level of understanding of this world and the universe which surrounds.

......fuck yeah, we are geeks!

Nov 2012 Tour!

Amazing show @ Rotture last night! Thanks to Ninth Moon Black for driving up from Eugene and playing! Thanks to Rolling thru the Universe and CONTEMPT. & Joel.

Tour since Nov 5th has been very positive! We went on the road with Jonathan Nicosia ( drums ) - whom we had never played at all before. We thought tour was not going to happen when we found out that our original drummer David Wolf had been in an accident ( unharmed!) and landed in jail for a DUI        (bummer) the day before we were supposed to leave. Jonathan was confident that he could step up and make it happen. Oakland was our first time really all of us playing together and it went well. All shows after just got better and better! Thank you Jonathan! Seattle The Mercury was probably our best show of the tour! Every band that night sounded amazing!

Thanks to all our friends and new friends on the road that we played with, that came out to see us and helped us along the way!

In Memorium : Onwards and Upwards - New Drummer

Last week we had to part ways with Drummer Matt Foley. Over all it was a very hard decision to come to but all for the best. Matt played with Antikythera for over a year and contributed mountains of energy into this band. Matt helped with with songs ideas / structures as well as booking many of the shows we have played in the last year. Matt was an amazing drummer for Antikythera and the bands existence wouldn't be where it is without him. He was more a Thrash drummer than a Doom drummer and that helped create the style of what is our current songs that we just recorded with Adam Pike. Ultimately a new / different style of drumming that suites the vision of Antikythera is underway! 

We are now rehearsing with Dave Wolf, a long time friend and ex-band-mate of Jeremy ( bassist ) . 

Dave plays a bigger kit over all - Kick/Ride. He fucking uses drum sticks that are as fat as elephant tusks! Since we started practicing there is a small pile of kindling all over the rug and around the drum set.  Great all around guy. And you prolly wont be seeing him playing / running around in his sweat soaked undies like matt did. (: take that as you will - Positiva? / Negitiva ? :)

We are playing the House show August 22nd out here at the Megaton Leviathan / Antikythera houses : And we are writing a whole new set to play for this show. Since we played with Matt Foley over the last year and a half we had a set that consisted of 2 full songs, a noise peice, and a cover of the Jesus Lizard song "fly on the wall." I wish i could say that we had more material for that time period but thats it, and another reason we are excited to be jamming with Dave. So any of ya who are interested to either see us play a whole new set, and either kill it or totally sound like shit, come out to this show!

All the bands ripped sooo hard! We love you guys!

Motta (photos), Maranda Bish (great article!), Chris Hanzsek (mastering), Dave Bitler, all at Failing House, Sam Rosenberg (former bassist) and Nina.

Also, a sad farewell to our buddies in Batmen who played their last show Sunday @ Pdx Pop! Now. You will be missed! (Look out for possibly one last house show).

The first version of the tape is hand numbered and limited to 61 copies. There are 3 different color covers, silver/white, gold, and red. All on a black background. Most are silver/white or gold.

There was a slight discrepancy in some of the tapes dubbed for the East End show. If you got a tape at that show and it seems to sound less full or in mono, drop by Green Noise Records on Tues, or Wed from 3-7 (where Matt works) and he'll trade one out for you! Or just come to our one of our next 2 shows.

The final, professionally packaged, shrink-wrapped, pro-tape version of our first Elp (EP/LP), will be out this fall before we hit the road again! It will include free download cards with each tape! Stoked!

P.S. Look for our tapes at these fine quality local record stores: Record Room, Green Noise, Beacon Sound, Exiled, and Mississippi Records!

Will be posting all 4 new tracks sometime later today / tonight for free download for the next few days via soundcloud / reverbnation. Thanks to all who came out to the tape release shows and all the bands that played!
