hey kids, if it seems like ive been doing shit with the box of knives, its cuz i have.
with an 11 hour school day eating up my life, and after the embarrassment some would call a leukhorrea show (which my hands are clean of, thank god), plus a billion and one other thing happening and me with no money, im just stepping back, surveying the scene and recollecting myself.
and mike is kind of in the same boat really. but for the next month or so he's gonna be taking care of most of it, and im just gonna go into hybernation. i just just just got a new job 2 days ago afterbeing unemplyed for a month, so i have some debt i have to get rid of before i can do anything.
but once things cool down, and winter break rolls around, i promise you that im really gonna put my nose to the grindstone and book shows like i was trying to pass a stone. and good shows, too. no more of these train wrecks like the leukhorrea "show".
all in all, if you want to play the box of knives, feel more than free to give me a call (401-334-3927, ask for tom/leave a message), AIM me (xXxSwornOathxXx) or email me (straightedgetom@earthlink.net). ill be more than happy to take note that you want to play a show, i mean, so far almost everyone has been awesome - real cool people and really awesome music...id especially like to thank these bands for playing:
terminally your aborted ghost
goratory
dysentery
cryptic warning
ascendancy
the nightmare continues
shading the end
the_network
you all rule, and if any of you ever want to play, just drop me a line.
but know that anything i book will be shows starting in febuary. right now im just stuck in the middle of a shit sandwich, and id rather just recoup, focus, and not put any shows together for a while than put on disjointed, half-ass shows with bands that dont show up, suck, faulty equipment, poor set up times/places etc etc etc
thank you.
ps - if anyone has the contact information for these bands, it would be greatly appreciated:

kevorkians angels
watchmaker
deadwater drowning
shroud of bereavment

once again, thank you everyone who has supported the box of knives in any way, and once again i want to send some special thanks out to:
rev aaron
carina
devon, adam, nick and matt/tyag
paul
aaron
will
john/pathos productions
josh & terrance
al & the boys in goratory
joe notcommon
thank you.

Hey Tom, good to hear you're still functioning like the rest of us. We know what it's like for a disappointing show to really burn you out. When you get back in the swing of things, if there's anything we can help you with feel free to drop us a line. Good luck with everything, I need to get me one of those "job" things too. Take care man.
-Michæl & Ascendancy.

Tom your the man. My new band will definalty be doing shows with you. What exactly happend with the leukorrha show anyways?
[Nov 6,2003 10:45am - xeatadickx ""]
oh, the leukhorrea show was HORRIBLE. im glad that i didnt book that one. what basically happened was our headliner, Leukhorrea, didnt show up. well, the singer and bassist did, but the drummer and guitarist, got lost, gave up and drove back home. then everything was running REALLY late, mike couldnt decide where to set up so the bands had to move thier equipment like 532895678925695 times and i felt like an asshole. some bands were taking like 40 minutes to set up, so there were literally hour pauses in between each band.
the lights kept going out for no reason. some asshole punk kid shit ON the toilet seat. then tyag was set to play, and i was happy....until the PA shiut the bed and devon got to sing like 2 songs. then some faggot punk starteed throwing stuff at spalding and grabbed my ass and i freaked out...i was gonna knuckle the kid but i didnt mainly because a million and one people told me it wasnt worth it.
by the end of the night i was a fucking mess. i went to just relax and i ended up running around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to keep a million thigns from falling apart. ugh.

For everything you've helped us with bro, we appreciate it! Even if shows dont go 100% as planned you are always cool and collected and are always willing to help anyone! TYAG is willing to play there anytime you want us to play! Thank you for keeping this shitty scene on solid ground.

TYAG and Ascendancy definitely need to devastate the Box'o'Knives again together. My girlfriend Ratt Mowe had a pretty slick idea that would go over well there, but it's a surprise. Shhh.

ok this is our first official fight. Shhh yourself! you werent supposed to tell anyone we were dating yet... it was supposed to be a suprise so when people saw us at a show we could see the look on their face as we forcefully groped each other...
