Hey ya’ll.        We’re heading out for another monumental, earth-shattering tour.  This time it’s almost three months of nothing but Rock ‘n Roll. We will be playing with Arms and Sleepers (Boston locals), Constants (also from Boston and also our dear, dear brothers), Red Sparrows (L.A.) and EF (Sweden) amongst many other great bands.  The first seven weeks will be spent in the US and the remaining time will be overseas.  We are so pumped for this one.  Our most recent album “Tertia” is doing really well.  We have been getting some pretty great press recently including a nice write-up in The Washington Post and a sweet interview/CD review in the hip music mag OUTBURN (issuse #52).  Also, one of our songs was featured in the Olympic coverage this past week!  Below is a list of our tour dates along with some press quotes.  There are still some more dates to be added as well.  It’s gonna be crazy.  Make sure to check back here.  I am going to be keeping you guys up to date on my travels with a tour blog.  We’re playing a show in Cambridge on the 27th of March.  It’s a Saturday night, so if you wanna check us out let me know and I’ll give you the details.  Just want to say that it is a great pleasure to spend time with you and to share in one of life’s greatest joys…music!!!  Keep rockin’ and don’t forget to be FABULOUS!  Cheers. OF TERTIA: Nothing less than an exemplary and genuinly revelatory excercise in emotionally devastating post-rock. 8/10 - ROCKSOUND Caspian, a Massachusetts post-rock crew, knows that “epic” doesn’t have to mean an album of five 16+ minute songs, and the crew have the melodies to prove it. - BROOKLYN VEGAN This batch of songs is anchored by brilliant, restless songwriting. No boring twenty-minute crescendos here. Tertia is full of surprises… There’s scarcely a better post-rock record on the horizon. 9/10 - PREFIXMAG Tertia is just as effective when it sparkles as when it storms. Caspian has the instrumental firepower to make a big noise when it feels like it. But the melodies, timbres and harmonics are so fully realized that “Tertia” would be mighty, even without its climaxes. - THE WASHINGTON POST A dense work of post-rock with purpose. - RHAPSODY North America 2.27 Cambridge, MA @ TT The Bears Place 3.9 Washington DC @ Black Cat ** 3.10 Harrisonburg, VA @ Blue Nile ** 3.11 Johnson City, TN @ The Hide Away ** 3.12 Nashville, TN @ The Muse ** 3.14 Orlando, FL @ Wills Pub ** 3.16 New Orleans, LA @ Dragons Den ** 3.17 Shreveport, LA @ The Rustic Cowboy ** 3.18 Houston, TX @ The Mink ** 3.19 Austin, TX @ SXSW Festival 3.20 Austin, TX @ SXSW Festival 3.21 Austin, TX @ SXSW Festival 3.23 Tucson, AZ @ TBA ** 3.24 Scottsdale, AZ @ Rouge Bar ** 3.25 Los Angeles, CA @ Pehrspace ** 3.26 San Diego, CA @ Che Cafe ** 3.27 San Francisco, CA @ TBA ** 4.1 Murray, UT @ SHO ** 4.2 Denver, CO @ 3 Kings ** 4.3 Albequerque, NM @ Winnings ** 4.5 Austin, TX @ Mohawk ** 4.6 Dallas, TX @ Lounge on Elm Street ** 4.7 Kansas City @ Record Bar ** 4.8 Vernon, IA @ Orange Carpet ** 4.10 Champaign, IL @ Mike N Mollys ** 4.11 Fort Wayne, IN @ TBA ** 4.13 Toronto, ON @ Rancho Relaxo ** 4.14 Montreal, QC @ Divan Orange ** 4.15 New York, NY @ Webster Hall Studio ** 4.16 Philadelphia, PA @ Northstar Bar ** 4.18 Cleveland, OH @ Grog Shop ^ 4.21 Chicago, IL @ Lincoln Hall ^ 4.22 Madison, WI @ High Noon ^ 4.23 Minneapolis, MN @ 400 Bar ^ 4.24 Omaha, NE @ Slowdown Jr. ^ 4.26 Denver, CO @ Larimer Lounge ^ 4.27 Salt Lake City, UT @ Urban Lounge ^ 4.29 Seattle, WA @ Neumos ^ 4.30 Vancouver, Canada @ Biltmore Cabaret ^ 5.1 Portland, OR @ Hawthorne ^ 5.2 Eugene, OR @ WOW Hall ^ Europe 5.5 Groningen, Netherlands @ Vera # 5.6 Njimegen,Netherlands @ Doornrosjie # 5.7 Koln, Germany @ Gebaude 9 # 5.8 Karlsruhe, Germany @ Jubez # 5.9 Weisbaden, Germany @ Schalctof # 5.10 Bochum, Germany @ BHF Langendreer # 5.11 Hamburg, Germany @ Hafenklang # 5.12 Copenhagen, Denmark @ Loppen # 5.13 Aarhus, Denmark @ Voxhall # 5.14 Malmo, Sweden @ Debaser Malmo # 5.15 Warsaw, Poland @ Basen Artystyyczny # * 5.16 Poznan, Poland @ Pod Minoga # * 5.17 Krakow, Poland @ Lodz Kaliska # * 5.18 Prague, Czech Republic @ Chapeau Rouge # 5.19 Vienna, Austria @ Chelsea # 5.20 Wurzburg, Germany @ Cafe Cairo # 5.21 Leipzig, Germany @ Wave Gothik Theatre 5.22 Athens, Greece @ An Club ** = with Arms and Sleepers ^ = with Red Sparowes # = with Constants * = with Ef Personal 2010-02-17T18:29:16+00:00 http://fabulousmusic.com/blog/music_theory_class_with_phil_dubnick_is_coming_soon_to_the_fab_school http://fabulousmusic.com/blog/music_theory_class_with_phil_dubnick_is_coming_soon_to_the_fab_school#When:17:24:54Z “Everything You’ve Always Wanted to Know About Music Theory” w/Phil Dubnick, is coming Thursday Evenings starting March 4th!
