Though Sherwood were a whole lot cooler when that short Mexican looking guy was in the band, they are nevertheless still the homies, and they’ve been representing NorCal and MidCal all over the world as of lately, touring Europe, Asia and everywhere else their RV takes them, which will soon include their recently announced Fall headlining tour. Here’s the release, replete with dates, openers and hyperbole. Word of warning though, don’t play dice with Joe Greenetz. He picks that shit up like a motherfucker:

GOLDRUSH! - A Sherwood tour this October meant for seeing friends, polishing old finds, and mining new ones.

SONGS! - Between touring abroad and playing festivals in North America, the Sherwood lads have begun writing songs for a new album slated for 2009.

DELUXE! - This fall will also see the release of Sing But Keep Going [Deluxe Edition], Sherwood’s first album repackaged with 4 previously unreleased songs.

TOUR! – Thus with songs both old and new in mind, the guys are eager to catch up with friends and see what you all think.  That means select dates on the west coast this October with support from The Pink Spiders, The Summer Set, Barcelona, and The Reign Of Kindo:

Although  yesterday was supposed to be my prescribed day to select the Synthesis Band You’ve Never Heard Of…OF THE DAY!!111, I waited until today because the band in question, the pop savages known as We Shot The Moon actually have their debut record, Fear and Love, in stores, TODAY! Though you might not have heard of We Shot The Moon, chances are you’ve heard of the guys in it: Jonathan Jones, former frontman of Waking Ashland and Joe Greenetz and Dan Koch of Sherwood. Though Greenetz and Koch are too busy touring with Sherwood to hit the road to promote Fear and Love, Jones and a few friends will be making the rounds of the US over the next few months, touring the shit out of the record, which, as you might expect sounds a lot like Waking Ashland and Sherwood, so in other words: poppy as F, but in a good way. Check out some of the tracks on the band’s Myspace or just buy that shit today. Tour dates after the jiggity-jizzump.
