Big Update

I have been slacking big time. Sorry.

January 26th was the release of the Self Titled 10th Anniversary edition. Go pick it up if you haven't yet. Even if you have picked it up already, go out and get another copy. I bought the bonus tracks on iTunes, but I will be picking it up sometime this week.

The tour has started. I am really excited. I will be at the March 6th show in Nebraska. I am excited to pick up the Rubiks Cube on this tour.

For those of you that want to get your hands on the Swiss Army Bromance 7" that the guys have been talking about for a while now, I have the information you need. The record can be acquired by going to www.newfoundglorystuff.com tomorrow, or by going to the merch booth at the tour stop you will be going to. The official track listing is as follows

1. The Swiss Army Romance (NFG)
2. Saints and Sailors (NFG)
3. Better Off Dead (DC)
4. All About Her (DC)

I can't wait to here them.

The second round of Haiti relief auctions at www.limitedpressing.com closed tonight. I picked us a Tip of the Iceberg test press and the HPxHC friend press. A final round of auctions starts tomorrow night. I am not sure if any NFG or ISHC vinyl will be on the final round. Epitaph is one of the contributors for the final auctions, so there is pretty good chance.

One final note. Chad got a clean bill of health after his surgery to remove part of his thyroid last week. He has missed the first few shows of the tour, but he should be rejoining the rest of the band this week.

Get Well Soon

I just read this on Steve's blog.

***A Message From Chad***


Dearest NFG Family, Friends, and Fans…

Two weeks ago when I went to the Doctor with pneumonia.. they found some nodules in my thyroid , and one of them is a little bigger then a quarter. They did a biopsy and the report came back that there are some suspicious cells in the cyst. So due to the size and to be safe, Today at 2:45 I am having surgery and getting half of my thyroid removed. Immediately after removing it they will observe it and see if it looks like a cancer. If they find anything they will remove the rest of my thyroid. The odds are in my favor for it to be nothing which keeps me positive going in… I am only planning on missing the first three shows of this tour, and my good friend Anthony Raneri from the band BAYSIDE will be filling in for me until i make it back out. Thanks again for all the love and support and I hope to see you all super soon.

Love Always,

Chad Gilbert aka :@xchadballx,Captain Straight Edge,chad hulud etc.

Our positive thoughts will be with you Chad.

Almost tour time.

I know I have been slacking. Winter is just depressing. Anyway

Well, the tour is going to start soon. I will be going to the Nebraska show. It should be fun. They will be selling some cool merch on this tour. An NFG Self Titled Rubiks Cube the star of the show, or atleast I think so.

In other news, Ian donated some NFG test pressings to be sold for Haiti relief. Go check em out at Limited Pressing. There is only 1 day and some change left over before the autions end. So hurry up and donate some money.

The DC/NFG split 7" should be up next week. Just in time for my B-day and the reissue of Self Titled. Cool.

Also, I think Ian might have deleted his Twitter, or it got deleted. Either way, it is gone. Sad, He was just getting a good stide going.
