Erik Blood is playin' some shows!
Me and the band are playing in Portland and San Francisco at the end of the month! Very excited to get out of town and I hope you can make it out to a show or two.
Thursday, September 27th, we're playing at Rotture in PDX with Friends and Family, Pheasant, and Tiananmen Bear! Show is $5 and 21+.
Friday, September 28th, we're in San Francisco at Hemlock Tavern with Here Come the Saviours and Vir! $7 and 21+.
Then we're back in Seattle for Reverb Fest on Saturday, October 6th. We'll be playing at The Sunset Tavern and we go on pretty late, I believe.
Thanks to everyone who bought the TOUCH SCREENS vinyl. If you didn't get one, please download the album from erikblood.bandcamp.com (you get more stuff than if you download it from
or Amazon.com, but you can get it those places, too.)

Album Release Party Tomorrow Night!
TOUCH SCREENS release day was a blast. Now, on to the release party!
Come celebrate the release of TOUCH SCREENS with me at The Crocodile tomorrow night (Aug. 9) at 8PM. Hotels and Stres open, it's ALL AGES, and only $8. You can pick up a copy of the limited-edition colored vinyl album of TOUCH SCREENS (almost sold out!) and spend the entire evening watching and listening to some good music. I might have a little surprise in store, as well. Who can say.
Did you see this shit in the Seattle Times yesterday? "Lush is an understatement. It's bigger than that. A beast of an album." DAMN! (SIDENOTE: I hope no one got in serious trouble at the Times for running the original album artwork in the print edition. Whoops!)
If you're a Seattle record store patron, you can pick up TOUCH SCREENS at Easy Street, Sonic Boom, Wall of Sound, and Everyday Music (Capitol Hill location only). Not sure any more stores will get added to this list because we're almost sold out of the limited-edition vinyl.
That's all for now. See you tomorrow night at The Crocodile! xoxo
