So we're
in the studio now, and we're recording some new stuff! It sounds really awesome...We've spent all of today recording and mastering

Geez, I really need to get better at updating this stuff. Our myspace site and planning tour dates and stuff has
stopped me from doing so.
So we've got two tours coming up
in the next month or so, and it's been going swimmingly. Sorta. We had to deal with alot of bull, but it's okay now. We've
got everything we need, all we need now is more dates for the July California tour. We've got together a four day tour with
Fight To Die, an amazing band from Mississippi, witch have been traveling for a couple weeks now and are heading to the Bay
Area. Check out our shows page, or for more current updates you can also go to our Myspace. It's gonna be an awesome four days!
We've discontinued selling The
Age Of Doom LP because we were wasting too much money and time selling those things to people...Witch aren't even worth their
pocket change. Those recordings are emabrassing. So, telling from the last post we're gonna head in the studio within the
next couple weeks. This one will be ALOT more high quality, and we'll be taking our time on it. It's gonna be siiiick guys!
We're also putting together a very well put together DIY DVD of a couple of our songs witch include live footage, pictures,
random clips of us screwing around, and footage of random people we meet on the city streets. It's very DIY, but it's VERY
well put together. We like to take our time on things. :)
We created some new songs, and
they're unlike the things we've written before. We've put more of an edge to our sound, and it has more of a consistancy.
Check it out!
Come to our shows! Support upcoming punk rock bands! Especially
chick bands...there aren't enough of em out there!!
Farts and giggles,
-Nina and Vamps
PS: GO TO THIS!

Hey, it's been a while since I've updated.
The Vamps are now signed to Thizzographic Records! Our stuff
will soon be sold on Interpunk.com and you can buy it there.
You guys are probably gonna be "bleh" when I tell you this,
but once again we're throwing ourselves back into the studio! We will be re-recording all the tracks again, and we will even
record more new ones, and there will be alot more time and energy put into it. It will sound GREAT. I know it, I can feel
it.
We got a bunch of shows coming up, and we're gonna have
a ton this year. We're definetly heading down to South California no matter what it takes...Money is a problem, but we can
deal with it. Our biggest problem, transportation.
Well, I donno what else to say for now. Go to our new years
eve show, it's gonna be a blast.
