The Slow Death recording new LP with revamped lineup

Posted by bryne on Friday, March 11, 2011 at 5:00 PM (EST)

The Slow Death has entered the studio to begin work on a new full-length, and the band's new lineup is one with a lot of familiar names: joining mainstays Jesse Thorson and Johnny C is Mikey Erg (The Ergs!, a million other bands), Paddy Costello (Dillinger Four, The Arrivals) and Annie Sparrows (The Soviettes).

Kiss of Death plans to release the album this summer, and more information (art, track listing) is expected soon.

This record is going to rule!

JeremyS (March 11, 2011)

I thought Mikey had always been in this band?

GlassPipeMurder (March 11, 2011)

He's played with them for over a year, at least.

Misanthropee (March 11, 2011)

Nope. Also note that they used to be Pretty Boy Thorson for a good while.

thepopeofchili-town (March 11, 2011)

This is one of those bands I've always heard about but never actually heard. I need to get on that.

thenightman (March 11, 2011)

I saw this band at the fest, they were playing with squiers and epiphone guitars. It was rad.

kapnzach (March 11, 2011)

I am a Mikey Erg superfan. It's really overwhelming sometimes.

tssk (March 11, 2011)

excuse me, do you like disco music? :)

IwishIwasdeaf (March 11, 2011)

Ah, another day, another Mikey Erg news story.

Exited for this release. Pop punk super group!

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

in that case why don't you come back in? It's cold out there.

thenightman (March 11, 2011)

that was pretty funny..hows the rest of the show?

Wyld_Stallyns_Rule (March 11, 2011)

This sounds absolutely amazing. I am a fan of anything Slow Death/Pretty Boy Thorson. Can't wait for this.

moistphily (March 11, 2011)

Okay I'm pretty sure Mikey Erg has been cloned...

milesqtoast (March 11, 2011)

is it possible to sterilize a baby at birth and then reverse the procedure later in life?

Cheesetits (March 12, 2011)

Try it.

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

so you'll finally give me a baby?!

Cheesetits (March 12, 2011)

After watching the Huskies win an epic conference championship, I'm open to anything right now.

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

I was watching a little bit of the pac ten tourny the other day and thought 'wow this is the first time all year I've even been cognizant of pac ten b-ball' like, I imbibe 100+ hours of sports media every week and it hasn't come up til now? East Coast Bias REPRAZENT!!!! Corngrats though.

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

wow when I said it 100+ hours seemed reasonable but doing the math, probably more like 40 hours a week.

Cheesetits (March 13, 2011)

Yeah the whole country has dogged the pac-10 all year but UW or Arizona could take anyone on in my opinion. They both have a tendency to shoot themselves in the feet though. But it's cool, let everyone sleep on the West like always.

tubbabutta (March 13, 2011)

the ending was just fantastic. thomas killed it.

Cheesetits (March 13, 2011)

He did it all game.

milesqtoast (March 11, 2011)

Shouldn't conservatives be environmentalists? Isn't it right there in the name?

ptvnsux94 (March 11, 2011)

So much fuck yes.

milesqtoast (March 11, 2011)

yet you kept the "94" ?

ptvnsux94 (March 12, 2011)

I do not compute what you are saying.

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

I was just drunk and reading your profile thing about how you didn't like your old name. I like to start conversations in the middle.

ptvnsux94 (March 12, 2011)

I kept the 94 because it was the year the Rangers won the Stanley Cup. I got rid of Flannigan because I grew out of DKM.

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

I was in middle school and got my first inkling of play from a girl during that series.
It's been downhill since then.

sickboy22 (March 12, 2011)

I am excited!

Make_Way (March 12, 2011)

stoked

dlangl4 (March 12, 2011)

$10 says this video is a joke.

The alternative is that this is one of the worst videos I've ever seen. I'd have be watching this:

skottybloodbank (March 12, 2011)

yes!!! everyone in this band is my favorite person in the world!

milesqtoast (March 12, 2011)

there's a little andy kaufman in zach gal.s stuff isn't there?

jayinsult (March 13, 2011)

RIP Dave Strait. You will be missed!

FaceOnTheBarroomFloor (March 13, 2011)

I was going to mention this. Poor Dave.

milesqtoast (March 13, 2011)

did every comment section on the internet used to turn into a liberal/conservative fight 5 posts in? It doesn't seem like it used to be that way. It's one thing for news/political articles but shit. Every topic from mink farming to cross country skiing to transmission repair somehow turns into this.

Cheesetits (March 13, 2011)

Yahoo comments are some of the most terrible things I've ever seen. I try not to scroll too far down on stories if I want my blood pressure at a good level.

milesqtoast (March 13, 2011)

yah I drunkenly made an account to respond to some bullshit on an msn article a couple nights ago and now I feel ashamed every time I see the confirmation message in my inbox that I let myself get baited in.
