Yeah I quit that shit... there's nobody going right now I care enough about to drive more than an hour for

MikeH · 12-16-2011, 08:32 PM

I would be stoked...if it was coming anywhere relatively close.

ChrisLetchford · 12-16-2011, 09:13 PM

hey thanks for posting.

as for extra dates, we would of course like to tour to every single place everyone wants us to, but of course that doesn't work out.

Now... as for Boise it was in there originally but that venue we played last time was booked, the only other option is The Knitting Factory which is a 1,000 cap room, which we can fill by ourselves. We'll be back though, yeah for a FTM/Periphery/STS, those school of rock openings bands were the weirdest thing I have ever seen haha.

Anyways... appreciate all those looking forward to coming out to the shows!

technomancer · 12-16-2011, 09:44 PM

Yeah Chris no knock on you at all, I loved the last album and am looking forward to both STS's next one and your jazz album

Blame the promoters

Ralyks · 12-17-2011, 07:32 PM

Did NY get a venue yet?

ChrisLetchford · 12-20-2011, 08:20 PM

Our agent couldn't get a hold for any venue in NYC so that date will now be at Architekt music in Butler NJ... which is actually good as its a recording studio so their venue has a great sound system.

Ralyks · 12-20-2011, 08:46 PM

Actually was suppose to go there for Hurt doing an acoustic performance. Looks like I'll be travelling to Butler then.

davemeistro · 12-20-2011, 11:29 PM

Bummed to not see any MN dates. I'm pretty sure I remember you guys saying back when you played with Cynic at Station 4 that you'd be back in February.

Oh well, I'm sure you guys will have another headlining tour that'll pass through MN in the future.

lol, i have never broken a string live. i switch guitars out during our set everyday on tour.

im guessing the "ass" guitar was the Artinger 7... weird that you could tell a difference in sound as it has better pickups than the Sherman 8 I was playing at the start of the set. That Artinger is one of the best sounding guitars I have

davefoxtattoos · 12-21-2011, 12:54 AM

Scale the Summit might be one of the main reasons I got a 7 string guitar. Though my playing is nothing like theirs (I don't think) I find their style extremely inspiring in every way. And they sounded fantastic when I saw them live last spring with Periphery.

Hey Chris, would you know a Music branch thats sells Monument in Japan?
I bought 2 of the latest albums, but I can`t get hold of the debut CD that is reasonably priced. There are 2 sellers on the japanese amazon, and the used monument CDS are listed for around 105$, which is pricy. I don`t have a credit card/paypal as of yet. Are there any options for someone like me? Keep up the great work. Thanks.

Holy hell man, $105? WOW!

You should find a friend who will let you use paypal or a credit card and order a copy through our online store, linked in my signature on here.

Its $13, shipped with free stickers and a koozie.

I hope no one has paid freaking $100 for that record.

yeah, you heard right. we had a date pinned for St Paul, but our agent must have lost the hold to a larger touring act. there are only so many venues... and way to many bands. you guys werent the only city. we lost NYC as well

eaeolian · 12-22-2011, 02:55 PM

Damn, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it to Richmond, and I missed you guys last night at Jaxx 'cause I was tied up at a meeting.

'Course, it was a lot better than PtH's "meeting".

Good for NJ, not for Long Island or NYC

Iamasingularity · 12-23-2011, 03:37 AM

Alright I`ll do that then man! Free koozies!
Also looks like someone bought 1 of the records for 100$s. lol

$100 USD?...that would be insane!

On the other hand though I've spent probably twice that at the STS store.

I have 5 STS shirts, both tab books, all three Cds, two packs of picks, and a poster.

Okay, thanks for clarifying on switching out. I was in the back, and a friend of mine was up front and said you broke a string on the 8-string.

Is the Artinger a blue semi-hollowbody? Because that would be the one I was referring to

It was super trebly, and piercing as .... when you played any leads during the set. I loved the warm tone you got from the Sherman during your leads, and the crunch during the riffs, but the Artinger was just so trebly that it hurt my ears.
You played great, but the sound could have been better. Just being honest

MistaMarko · 12-27-2011, 03:24 PM

Hoping the Shreveport date works out...

Rook · 12-27-2011, 06:59 PM

Hey I hope its cool if I ask this here.

Chris! First, cool to have you posting here. Second, I love your taste in guitars haha, I'm so excited about getting my strandbergs...

Third.

On The Collective, did you double track the clean parts? If you did, did you play both tracks or did you and Travis split it up like you would live? I've listened to the album a billion times and I've always been really interested...

Cheers, if I ever reach the kinda level you're at I'd be such a happy guy, I love you guys' approach.

Fiction · 12-28-2011, 12:03 AM

Finally a proper mega thread

Saw the interview saying you may have plans for Australia next year.. I'll be so excited if you do!

Depends on the parts, but anything that me and Travis are both playing at the same time, thats the same exact notes, it was double tracked. Most likely I tracked it all.

We are suppose to be coming over to Europe and Australia... we were suppose to this past fall... so you never know if it will come together. All depends on the right package and what not. Hope it gets worked out!
