For those of you locally, you'll probably notice that the Weedeater show is the night before the WHALIE awards! Yup, gonna be a busy weekend for us! The Whalie Awards are the New London equivalent of the Grammys. A full-on event incorporating the glitz and glamour that comes with your typical award show... red carpet included!! We are nominated in the People's Choice "Best Hard Rock/Metal" category where anyone can vote! We'd sure love to win one of these babys... and would love you forever if you cast a vote for us here: www.wailingcity.com/vote

ALSO... it was a pleasant surprise to have found that Red Over Red was reviewed by the fine folks that run the local music magazine Sound Waves! You can pick up a copy of this zine just about anywhere in New London county... look for it at your favorite venues and restaurants... OR read it online here: http://www.swaves.com/

AND if all that info wasn't enough for you.. our song "All Hands" was used for two really cool videos! The first being Providence Roller Derby's promo for their next bout! Check it out:

The second was in the movie trailer for the upcoming documentary "Fantasm" about horror movie conventions! So cool! Check it out: 

More later!
