Constant Lovers

Dec. 29th 2012, @ Vermillion Bar/ Art Gallery.  

w/ MTNS, Pony Time, and Wasted USA

Show starts at 9 I think.

I'll try to keep up with this blog thingy.  Promise.

Here's a link to our youtube channel where you'll find videos of us playing live, and some other silly shit that we've made.  http://www.youtube.com/constantlovers 

2013 is gonna kick ass.  Thanks for visiting.

We play Chop Suey Oct. 18th with our friends Absolute Monarchs and Gaytheist.  Please come show your support and check out the new shredder on drums.

One thing being, we are on a free compilation put together by Myke Pelly from Haunted Horses/ Footwork.  For a free digital down load go here! http://www.whatsupseattle.com/ 

Perpetual Ritual is on this comp.  Seriously check this shit out because Seattle is making serious moves right now.

WHAT'S UP SEATTLE?

Huge thanks to Kerry for having us play the Cha Cha again this year for the Capitol Hill Block Party.  As always he puts together a bill of local bands which, (in my humble opinion) will slay just about any act on any of the other stages.  I wasn't able to make it down there today, but some of my highlights for Friday and Saturday were seeing Crypts, Blood Red Dancers (last show ever), Helms Alee, Pony Time, and Spaceneedles.  Sadly I missed Absolute Monarchs (who graduated to the main stage this year), Silly Goose, Trash Fire, Mass Game, Slow Dance, Haunted Horses, Lesbian, Mama Utah and a few others due to hunger/fatigue/bladder issues and family hang outs (I love my dad and sis).  Here's a video of Hair Vest getting weird a couple years ago.

We play at the Cha Cha tonight at 9:45!  Here's a quick film of us melting the mic on someone's phone last year.

The live parts of this video were shot at the Corson Building's Bastille Day Fete.  One of the funnest shows we've played all year.  Big thanks to Matt Dillon for inviting us to the party.  

Coming up we have our show at the Capitol Hill Block Party on Friday night, and that may or may not be our last show with the force of nature Mike Horgan.  Mike is moving on to Chicago and we are obviously going to miss the shit out of him.  HIs epic shredding has been the back bone of our sound and with him leaving we're going to have to change things up quite a bit. However,  we will continue to play as Constant Lovers, so please stay tuned as we evolve into the next phase.

We'll keep you posted about the changes to come.

love,

Joel

My apologies for the huge hiatus.  During my gross blog neglection we have been doing lots of fun things.  Speaking of fun things....It's time once again for the Capitol HIll Block Party.  We will be rocking the Cha Cha stage Friday night at 9:45. (7/20)  Here's our friend Thanny Bradford describing fun places to visit on Capitol Hill.

I'm leaving beautiful Seattle on Thursday for a 2 week trip to Japan.  I'll be visiting Tokyo and Kyoto.  

Hopefully this video of us playing Medicine will hold you over until I return.  

I will be arriving at 9 PM Thursday for a layover in LA, and am down 2 party.  I do have to catch a plane at 9 AM though, so nothing too wild.

Best wishes to all.

Love,

Joel 

Y'all should check out their record release party on the 12th at the Black Lodge!

I'm sure by now everyone who has seen this blog has a copy of True Romance on their hard drives.  If for some reason you're reading this and you don't have it, go to the music page and download it!  

Big time thanks to John Richards at 90.3 KEXP Seattle for blasting our tunes every day on prime time morning radio.  We were not expecting such kind support.  Thanks a ton!

love,

Joel

Sorry I haven't been blogging much lately.  Preoccupied with other weirdness lately. Eric was really kind last night, and put our record up for free downloads so please tell all your friends.  We also wouldn't mind a small donation so we can pay back the huge debt incurred from making the album.  You can also order a copy of the LP on beautiful blue vinyl.  Huge developments here a constantlovers.com.  Don't you think Eric makes a good doctor! I do.

love,

Joel

Many thanks to Tendai Maraire for making it all possible, Brick Loomis for directing, Phong Dang for filming and Eric for letting/ making me smoke, drink and puke in his house.

Sorry I haven't posted anything on our blog in a while.  I've been busy enjoying the summer and putting our record/ record release shows together.  I have some excellent news to report to you now. We are playing with ARCHERS OF LOAF and Lovesick Empire this Friday at Neumo's!  Be there!  

I will have much more to report in the days to follow.  Including line ups for our record release shows and  where to see the music video we recently filmed!  

Stay tuned!

love,

joel

Emily Denton kills again.  

This has nothing to do with the Melvins, but we are premiering our video for Champagne Shower tonight at The ACT Theater!  Rawstock Presents: Chicks with Flicks!  A bunch of rad short films directed by women.  Our video is not part of the official film line up because it was filmed by a dude. Brick Loomis. Holler.
