Playing shows again!

We recently started playing shows again!  We played in Portland for The Know’s anniversary show on January 12 and it was a blast!  Mundo Muerto and Autistic Youth were great.  Cliff Martin played his first show with us as our drummer and ripped through the set.

The Morgue in Seattle on FRIDAY THE 13th was stellar, as all shows there have been.  Bellinghamsters showed up and the show was topped off by a 80’s dance party.  Mundo Muerto rocked the house, again.

We went to Tacoma for the first time and played the Fifth Quadrant–a house of hospitable, DIY, party outfitted punx, with an enormous house, that hosted us and blew us away on the dance floor.  Awesome bar with ginger hot toddies and a killer backyard.  The house show ruled and somehow we played a packed room without getting knocked over.  I can’t wait to go back to Tacoma!

 

 

‘Reveries’ LP available now!!!

Our debut LP is finally available on Inimical Records out of Seattle. Evidently the first pressing sold out pretty quick, but the LP is NOT OUT OF PRINT. There’s another pressing on the way, and you should be able to find a copy in a store or distro near you soon. Also, if you bought one of the first pressing and you need a download code, contact Mike at Inimical Records.

You can also download songs from the website Moshpit Tragedy: http://moshpittragedy.com/arctic-flowers-reveries

Tour, records, etc.

Still trying to get into the habit of updating this site, but here’s what’s going on with the band of late: We took a trip down to California at the end of January for a week of really fun shows. We were joined by our pals in Surrender for most of the trip and had a blast playing with them. Thanks so much to everyone involved in those shows and to all of the people who came out.

Now back in Portland we’ve begun recording at Stan’s own Buzz Or Howl Studios for a forthcoming LP on Inimical Records. So far everything sounds great and we’re all really excited about getting these songs out into the world.

We’ve got a couple shows coming up in March, including a performance on Portland’s long-running punk rock radio show Life During Wartime on Wednesday March 9th. Listen to the live broadcast in Portland at 90.7fm, or stream it online at kboo.fm.

We’ll be laying low and working on the LP for most of March and April, but we’ve already got a slew of awesome shows in the works for the month of May. Keep an eye on this site for more details.
