Alright Colm. where are these dates from? There's a mercantile in Dublin, if that's the date I'll pick up anything yer looking for.

i got em off of last.fm, I dunno if they'll even have them. but just go and check em out. i guarantee you will dig em daire

They are playing doing a UK tour with end of a year and basement should be good!

oh and Daire yes it is the Mercantile in Dublin. Get excited it should be a really fun show!

Cool, I've been listening to them the last few days, very impressed with them. I'll definitly go along to that.
I dunno if they'll have much left coz it's the last date, but I'll pick it up for you if it#s there.

My friend gave me a copy of one of their albums, but I haven't gotten around to hearing it yet. Will get on that...

I feel like a dick now didnt realise you had already mentioned it was a uk tour and who it was with my bad!

Im looking forward to getting to Southampton though weird time to tour though.

No man its all good, always best to reiterate these things.

The reason why they tour in such weird ways is because they all go to school fulltime. Perfect time to tour for college kids I guess.

At least that is my hypothesis, it makes sense because they only do shows on the weekends here in PA/the surrounding areas

new song from "two worlds" is up. tigersjaw.tumblr.com
album of the year material

Two Worlds - new contender for the top 5 of 2010. Get on it if you haven't heard it yet!

It's great.

nothing has been as good as their self-titled for me, but yeah two worlds is top 10 material.

Saw them twice this week. Once with Menzingers and Algernon. The other time with Hostage Calm (really have to listen to this band more) and O Pioneers. Tigers Jaw and O Pioneers are supposedly working on a split. Looking forward to more details once they surface.

Been listening to these guys a lot lately...reminds me of good times.

I'd never heard of them until this week - you're the third person to mention them. What is going on.

Listen to everything they've done. It's all great. Well maybe exclude some of their early lo-fi stuff although I do like it. So listen to everything s/t and on.

Just saw them again last week in Richmond. Their last song was crystal vision, not my fav tigers jaw song. My friends texted me and told me they were getting pizza and I headed out. Awesome decision. My buds played first and people were actually going apeshit.

Captain we're sinking and Balance and Composure played too. That show ruled.

anyone thinking about going to their final tour?

bummed they are going on hiatus. will always remember them as the first band I saw at Fest 10

My dad is going to the Philly date of the final tour, I'll be in PDX though. Pianos Become The Teeth are a solid support band.

Go Rydell was the first band I saw at Fest 10, and they just broke up too

Thinking about it...yes. But it's only like two of the regular members right? So I don't know if it's worth a two hour drive for that.
