The High Court

So Christmas has come and gone already. Fuck man, I was just eating thanksgiving yesterday. I guess time flies as you get older. Also being on tour.. you don't realize how quickly time passes by.  I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas. I got some pretty badass stuff.

Anyways... it's been awhile since I've posted a journal here. A lot has gone on the past few weeks. We had an amazing tour with 2*Sweet and Fireworks. (check these bands out if you haven't heard them yet)  You will be floored with 2*Sweet's full length when it gets released. One of the best CD's I've heard all year. For fans of As Tall As Lions there's a special little guest vocal on one of the tracks. Then we had a few dates with Action Action and Liam and me.  Let me tell you.... we had a little tackle karoeke party at the bar one night. If you sucked, you got fucking tackled! Everyone got tackled! It was quite a bad idea to give all the bands open bar all night. But at the same time... it was the best idea ever. We got to enjoy the worst rendition of "Ring of Fire" ever by our very own Mike Matranga. I don't even know how to describe how hilarious that night was.

Let's move on....

So tomorrow... FUCK YEAH! If anyone happens to be going to the Trocadero in Philly, you better be ready for one of the best shows of the year! How can you go wrong with us(thehighcourt) Valencia, Four Year Strong, and Armor For Sleep. Nothing like playing a sold out show in your hometown. I'm fucking stoked. Get there early. We play first!   (wink wink** we have a little suprise intro for our set tomorrow )

Also...... word is starting to spread so fuck it, here ya go.... We have found our new guitar player. His name is Ben. He is an amazing dude. One of the nicest dudes I've ever met. If you come to a show... say hi to Ben. Give him a fucking hug. Scratch his beard. He's a sweetheart... not to sound gay or anything... everyone thinks I am anyway, oh well.

So, I have to get going. It's time to practice. I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and a good new year. Drink some beer. then some whiskey. and top it off with vodka. And smoke a blunt before you pass out!  Seriously though... be safe!!!

hello internet fiends.

so all of us here in the high court land are very excited for whats been going on lately. Lots of new tour dates. Lots of new songs written... and if you come out to any shows coming up, you may get a special treat... we'll play a new song or two. And guess what.... the new guitar player search is going very well.

anyways...

who else is pumped for the mini I Surrender tour with Armor For Sleep? i know its a short tour, but we've all been hoping that us, valencia, and four year strong would get some sort of tour together. lots of fun dudes. shit is going to be up for fucking grabs! I've been a fan of Armor for Sleep for years so i'm stoked to see those guys as well and i'm fucking way down with their new cd. pick that shit up if you dont have it.

now... with that out of the way... who is down to get some drinks tonight? we'll be making our way to NYC sometime around 10. We have a very special birthday to celebrate tonight! like i said earlier... shit is going to be up for GRABS!!!!!

i guess thats about it for now... check in soon for updated tourdates (after the new year we'll have some more dates that you should definitely be on the look out for)

hopefully we'll see some of you tonight. DRINKS ON ME!  good thing its $9 beer night! right??!
