Shows

It's been a few months since I've updated the blog, but rest assured we've been playing shows and doing our regular thing.  Last week we had the chance to play an all Negative Approach cover set at the Dudefest after show in a tiny studio at the Murphy Building in Indianapolis.  We had a great fucking time.

We'll be back down in Indianapolis on August 12 to play with Shaved Christ (members of American Cheeseburger, Cop Dope, Hot New Mexicans, and Bold Slugs)  T-shirts should also be available by this date.

If you're in Ohio this Friday (August 5) you might find us at Howard's.  We're still checking on that one.

Otherwise we're still working on some new jams, a few which have creeped into our set.

Lastly, if you're interested in picking up one of our demo tapes, we're just about out, so if you won't be seeing us soon and want a copy you can order one at www.midwesterndecline2.bigcartel.com.

Shows, Shirts, and New Recordings

On February 19 we played our first show in over a month at The Brass Rail in Fort Wayne.  We were a last minute addition to a show that consisted of what some might call "burger metal".  While playing we managed to scare half of the patrons out of the bar, spill the other half's beer when they got too close, and break shit. Under normal circumstances I'd be disappointed that the top two strings on one of my bass guitars are now unusable because the headstock cracked neatly in half, but because I only use the bottom two strings I really can't complain.


We haven't been playing so much because Daisycutter, Nic and Nathan's other band, were on tour for half of January and we've been writing a bunch of songs.  Some of which should be out in 7" form by summer.

Grey's also been working on a shirt design and we should have those shortly.  We've also started booking some more so keep an eye on the shows list on the side of the page.

Parasitic Twins download codes

The original plan with the demo tapes was to include a link to download all of the songs in mp3 format.   This didn't happen, but if you've already bought the tape and would like it in mp3 form please send an email to midwesterndecline@gmail.com.  Also,  future copies of tape will now include the download link.

Updated: 5/5/11

Micah Jenkins a.k.a Vomax out of Indianapolis puts together one of the best zines out right now hands down.  He's the mastermind behind Classy People, a hilarious recollection of all the (mis)adventures that come with a full year of show attendance. I believe he went to more shows in this his third year doing the zine than any of the previous two, and we happend to play a couple of them.  In one of the reviews he likens us to Voorhees and Negative Approach, we'll take it.  I don't believe that Classy People has any sort of internet presence, but if you happen to find yourself at the Dojo in Indianapolis Vomax will probably be there, and you can do yourself a favor and pick up all 3 of his zines.

Our cassette will also be reviewed in the upcoming print version of Negative Trend, also out of Indianapolis.  You can check our their blog at http://www.treehouseinitiative.blogspot.com/.

Jeremy Jones of Northern Indiana has launched a new zine called Face II Face Hardcore Fanzine.  We get a little writeup in the demos.  He says nice stuff about us, and for that we're thankful.  The first issue of  his zine also has interviews with Bitter End and Rattletooth.  It's all pretty rad.  For more information and to pick a copy up for yourself check out http://facetofacehardcorefanzine.bigcartel.com/.

Demian Johnston prolific noise artist, check out his recently released split with Mammifer out now on Hydrahead, also keeps a blog called Dead Formats where he reviews tapes and vinyl.  He was nice enough to listen to our cassette and say a few things about it here.
