about the recordBar show last week

piatt was able to make it up for the show, we hadn't played with him since our last show, but it all sounded pretty tight.

our friend Cole played a set as Badge, then the Factory Workers killed it.

this show was a show swap for a detroit show on our last tour. the detroit band, Tone and Niche, played right before us as a four piece and it sounded pretty dope.

i put a camcorder at a table toward the back of the venue and the audio turned out surprisingly good. i'll post videos soon.... probably (my external drive got smashed in the back seat of my car on the drive home from minneapolis yesterday, it had all the tour videos on it that i was going to post).

James' cable was cutting out so we played the first four songs as a three piece while he figured out what was going on. here's the show in mp3 format....

Last stand of the Spidermans

One more short run of regional shows and one more EP.
That's all that we'll have time left to do.

Trevis is moving to Austin in August.
James is moving to Germany Rotterdam in the fall.
Piatt has already moved out of town to deal with his legal situation.

But we have a few more new songs to record,
Gaurav (Boo and Boo Too) is going to
play drums on the last Mums EP.
It'll probably be called 'Complete Racket'
or something like that.

I've been lazy lately, but I'll have a bunch more videos up soon.

Here's the dates for our last shows:

June 22nd - recordBar (KC)
July 17th - wichita
July 18th - outland (springfield)
July 19th - The Brick (kc)
July 20th - The Replay (Lawrence)

Eric (Peerless Princess of the Plains, Thunder le Boom, The Raygun Administration) will be playing drums and guitar at the shows in July.

There's a few other things I'm involved with, and some people I've wanted to start bands with for a while have said they're ready to do something. It's possible there will be another release under the name Spidermums, but it won't be the same lineup.

Spidermums was formed in December 2007 and will be no more after July 2008.


Spidermums members:

Justin Piatt (drums)
Josh Thomas (vocals, guitar, recording)
James Capps (vocals, guitar)
Trevis Stewart (bass)
Oscar Allen Guinn (drums)
Luke Namee (guitar)

Drew M Gibson (guitar)
Gaurav Bashyakarla (drums)
