LNW/SG WEEKEND/PRE-ORDERS!

So last weekend we went out on a little weekend trip with our friends Such Gold (myspace.com/suchgold). After about 9 hours we finally arrived in York, PA friday nite, we played at a sweet house with a little garage setup in the back, drank natural ice and hung out. Such Gold killed it, especially their ending cover set of Movielife, Saves the Day, and Snapcase. Our set went well, played quite a few covers as well, Movielife, Get up Kids, and Stryder. Everyone at the show was really cool and pretty much stoked to have us there. It was an awesome feeling.
Later that nite we drove to Philly to stay with a friend of Such Golds who did some producing on Four Year Strongs "Rise or Die Trying" Awesome dude, who was cool enough to let us all stay there. The next day we had time to kill considering we were playing Richland, NJ that nite. So we walked around Philly and found a bar on 3rd and South that had .49cent beers. Needless to say we hung out there for a while haha.
We left for the show around 6pm, arrived in Richland, NJ about an hour later, hung out unloaded, played with I Am Alaska who was great. Played solid sets and drank a ton. This dude at the bar kept feeding us shots, we were out of it haha. Drove about 2 1/2 hours north that nite, stayed at a HoJo and got some shut eye.
Woke up, showered and headed for Mendon, MA for the RAD skatepark show. However, we forgot alllll about thanksgiving weekend traffic, and what should of been 3 1/2 hour drive, turned into 6 1/2 real quick haha. Got to Mendon to catch Maker and Transit, Such Gold was awesome as usual. All in all an awesome weekend with those dudes!

Newbury College benefit / News

Last nites show was a benefit for music programs in local schools.

Interesting is probably the best way to put it. There were many different types of acts. 2 rap groups performed, many acoustic acts (including one that covered The Cranberries - Zombie), The Bitchin' Ardvarks, and Late Nite Wars. There was a cart set up giving out free "CRUNK!" energy drink. There were balloons everywhere so we decided to tie them to all our gear when we played. All around it was a fun nite. The event (sponsored by Ernie Boch Jr.) raised $2000!

This week it is official. The Pre-orders are up!

We are now taking online orders for our 7" entitled "Every Other Saturday!" We are excited to finally have this available. It has been so long that we have been trying to release this and thanks to Jonny Limit of Arrest Records we can finally do it! The vinyl comes in three different colors, purple, white, or black and yellow splatter. There is also a limited edition t-shirt package available only through the pre-ordering the record. There are 3 songs on this release.

Side A:
I'm only going to tell you this twice
Members only Karaoke
Side B:
P.O.P.C.

We added the first song of the vinyl to our myspace page. (www.myspace.com/latenitewars) Head over there and give it a listen!

12/06/09 at Anchors Up!
Tomorrow is the Transit/Manoverboard CD release show at Anchors Up! in Haverhill. Can't wait to play back at this venue. It's been far too long.

Leftovers weekend!

The leftovers weekend with such gold was awesome. It was nice to be getting back in the van (Meredith) for a few days, even though she sometimes smells like rotting food items.
Day one went well aside from the 9 hour drive from Southern NH to York, PA. The show was small but it had a very good feel to it. Everyone there was having a good time and partying. Even after we played, the kids asked us to keep playing more stuff. Same with Such Gold. After, we decided to make the drive to Philly. Such Gold had a friend who hooked us up with a place to crash. We got lost about 3 times and added about an hour and a half to the drive. The morning was great because we had nothing else to do besides drive an hour over to Richlan, NJ that nite. We went to Genos and Pats (and Lorenzos) to get some actual Cheesesteaks! Then over to Makos for some of the cheapest beer ever offered. Meanwhile Such Duch was purhasing records on south street. The Richland show was a blast. The bartender rounded us up for some tequila shots after we played (gross). The ride after was pretty fun besides taking another detour that added about an hour to the drive. We are pretty good at messing up directions I guess. Crashed at a hotel in northern NJ (i think) at about 4 am. The last day was major traffic. All the post Thanksgiving mayhem came to a head and caused us to be late for the Mendon show. But after everything went smooth. The show was good. Said bye to Such Gold and Leftovers weekend. Thanks to everyone who came out to shows, offered us a place to stay, and made this weekend possible. It was awesome. -Kev

Wester Mass and the Such Dutch Rescue

Sooo Sunday was a ton of fun, got together with John from ex-All Star Me, he was filling in for Tim. We ran through the set worked out the kinks with John, loaded up and headed to the show in Holyoke, MA. Bunch of us in the van, Late Nite Wars+Gina+Emily+Jenn, watched Empire Records and passed time.
Got to the show only to find out our friends in Such Gold had broken down in Albany, NY and might of not been able to make it. Knowing our friends needed help we gave Devon (Such Gold), who happened to show up there with A Loss for Word, the keys to Merideth (our van) and he set sail to rescue the rest of his band. Ordered food inside only to find out the cook was too drunk to make it, and got 2 dollar beers and pizza instead.
Set went well, the turnout was great and John did a fine job filling in. Transit followed with a great set as well, in fact all the bands there were great. Maker was fantastic, perfect set for their CD release, (which you should buy if you haven't) and they got so much love. Besides the fact that all the dudes in that band are awesome kids, their music is sweet. In the midst of Makers set, Such Gold had successfully returned with their gear and sleeping bags in time to play a set.
A Loss for Words headlined and played a fun set, got a great response. All in all it was an awesome show, its great to play these shows with all the people who are friends. It definitely represents everything we stand for as far as keeping your friends close and having their backs when they need you.
This Coming weekend we will embark on a journey with Such Gold heading to York, PA Richland, NJ, and Mendon, MA...Tim won't be able to make it this weekend so our great friend Derrick from Furnace (myspace.com/furnacesucks) will be filling in! Make sure to check out the Myspace for more details! Hope to see you there and BRING US LEFTOVERS!

NEW FRIENDS AND FUN TIMES

Last nite we played in New Bedford, MA with sooo many good bands...it was such a good show. We met the dudes in Such Gold who were cool as fuck and had a sweet ass tornado chasing vehicle to tour in, which made Erik, Aaron, and I super jealous. Anyway, they killed it, and got such a good response. I unfortunately had a little case of S.T.D's (Show Technical Difficulties) with my Eddie Van Halen Painted 5150, but thanks to Tim (Such Gold) I borrowed a head and the show went on. Turned out to be really fun. Dont forget to catch us with Such Gold next Sunday in Holyoke, MA and also on our mini-tour thanksgiving weekend. SG and LNW will be hitting PA, NJ, and MA!!! HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!

11:11, standing at 7-11



the stryder was the first band we covered. i still remember picking up an equal vision records sampler CASSETTE at newbury comics in nashua (at the old location) because it had two saves the day songs on it. i wore that tape out in my friend jeff's minivan that summer. anyways, today is 11/12 so i should get past all of this and do a real update.



we finished a new song last night at practice. definitely takes on the "shorter, faster, louder" concept. so now we are up to three completed jams for the next release. we have three others that are still being worked out and hopefully we can start demoing them.



we have a show this sunday in new bedford, ma with a ton of awesome bands.

hope some of you can make it out there.

last night was the show at rocko's in manchester, nh with the wonder years, maker, and lions lions. energy was supposed to play but had to drop off last minute. bummer, but the show was amazing otherwise. I've never seen that many kids come out to rocko's before. every band played tight as fuuuuuck.

the wonder years duders came over after the show and we watched tina turner live on palladia. they are playing a show in holyoke, ma today at the waterfront tavern and you should be there.

right now I'm at ryan stack's new studio in haverhill, ma recording with my other band. ryan recorded LNW's EP and 7" (soon to be out via Arrest Records) and his new studio is a huuuuuge upgrade. I can't wait for us to come back here to record the new record.
