KNOCK-DOWN DRAG-OUTS album and TOUR!!!
Well, today is a special day. Since we signed a record deal with Gotee Records in 2004, we have had the privilege of releasing 4 full length records (S/T, The End is Not the End, Suburba, and Cold Hard Want). We have also released several EPs, singles, exclusive tracks, etc. in the down time between full lengths. We compiled all of those together and released them along with 3 BRAND NEW Cold Hard Want B-Sides, and 2 remixes done by our good friends, Jesse Cale (aka McSwagger), and Soloman Olds (aka Soul Glow Activator). It’s 19 songs, and it’s only $7.99 on iTunes and Amazonmp3.com. If you love physical stuff, it’s also available in the Gotee store: http://gotee.zambooie.com
To celebrate and promote this release we will be doing a 2 week run of dates in June with a great Ohio band called COME WIND!!! We already have a few dates booked, but we could use some help with the rest of the tour. What we have on the books so far:
June 7 - Tulsa, OK - The Vanguard. Tix: http://ticketf.ly/Zkh2Gx

Please contact us at hohtour@gmail.com if you are interested in bringing us in for a show in or around any of these markets in mid-June.
A few more things. We are already getting a lot of interest from colleges and universities for next fall. So much so, that we think we want to maybe just turn it into a tour! Let us know if your college/university wants to begin talking about bringing HOH in for a show in the fall.
