news

Ladies and Gentlemen:

The Coke Dares resume their efforts to play one thousand songs in August of 2008 by continuing their "Pandering to the Truth" tour. We made it to Chicago, down to Austin, and back -- and now we're coming out East where the men eat coins, the women are seven feet tall, and money grows on trees, but not in Brooklyn, except for on that one tree there.

We start the whole thing off this TUESDAY, AUGUST 12 at the Bluebird in Bloomington with our friends and former Bloomington compatriots THE LADYBIRDS and SECRETS BETWEEN SAILORS. Be there. We have a Morrissey shirt for sale (or sail, whichever you prefer).

Then the rest of the tour goes like this -- please feel free to get in touch with us if you are aching to have a band stay at your resort home. You can also contact us if you have floor space. Most importantly, come to the shows if you can. We'll attempt to make it worth your while with 25 songs crafted just...for...you:

08-12 - Bloomington, IN - The Bluebird w/ Ladybirds and Secrets Between Sailors
08-13 - Buffalo, NY - The Mohawk w/ The Found and Magi Chippie
08-14 - Brooklyn, NY - Silent Barn w/ Pterodactyl, Artifact Shore, Chrome Wings, and Dinowalrus
08-15 - Boston, MA - Middle East Cafe w/ Black Helicopter, Don't Ever Lie to Anyone, and Ketman
08-16 - Northampton, MA - Iron Horse w/ Electric Six and Tragedy
08-17 - Providence, RI - Living Room w/ TBA
08-18 - Philadelphia, PA - M Room w/ Sports and Rogue Thief
08-19 - Baltimore, MD - Ottobar w/ Banshee Accidental, North America, and Whistlin' Charlie
08-20 - Richmond, VA - The Triple w/ The Sort and The Milkstains
08-21 - Washington, DC - The Black Cat w/ Nebula and Totomoshi
08-22 - Pittsburgh, PA - 31st Street Pub w/ Lord Grunge (Grand Buffet), Jackson (Grand Buffet), Love Like Deloreans, and Unsung
08-23 - Athens, OH - Casa Nueva w/ Southeast Engine

Also, why not find out how the first half of this tour went -- and be trapped forvever! -- by subscribing to The Coke Dares Podcast? You can search for it at iTunes or, in iTunes, click "Advanced," "Subscribe to Podcast..." and enter http://www.thedeathtouch.net/cokedares/podcast/tcdpodcast_01.xml . For advanced users you'll know that that link is all you really need. I am not an advanced user. Seriously, I've only tried it once or twice.

The new album, Feelin' Up, is still available, and we've got some recording on the horizon. Please buy our stuff so that we have more room to store our new recordings in the future.

So -- see you soon, we hope, and for now enjoy the podcast and the constant repetition of history!
