Lots of big HH news for you today folks!
For starters, we will release our new album, titled SKELETONS, in early 2010! Secondly, as you should know already, we're kicking off Never Sleep Again '09 with Just Surrender, Monty Are I, Punchline, Anarbor, and Nightbeast on November 2nd! Get your tickets here and get them today because we will be giving away a limited amount of collectible download cards at each show which include one of our new songs, "Unforgivable" along with some other goodies.
This is your first chance to hear some of our new music, so make sure you get your tickets early and get to the shows early, because once they're gone, you'll have to wait until the album comes out! We'll see you this Fall!

Hey everybody
I just wanted to write you guys a note and let you know why we selected each band for this tour. And why we wanted to tour this year in general, for that matter. I'm writing this from 35,000 feet in the sky while watching Major League 2...FYI.
First of all, why are we touring when we haven't released any new music yet? Well, it's pretty simple...we want to give our real fans a chance to sample our new record. In addition to a few new songs, we will be playing songs from all of our albums. With a rotating setlist, we are sure that we can play nearly every song we know. If you want to hear a specific song, hit us up on Twitter @HawthorneHeights.
Now, on to the bands...
Just Surrender-
We first met these guys playing a show in a backyard in New
Martinsville, WV like 5 years ago. We have been following them ever
since and are excited to do an extended tour with them. They have been
constantly putting out great music with a lot of passion and energy.
Punchline-
We used to play tons of shows with these guys way before the HH days
at Knights of Columbus. I have known them for over ten years and
happy to tour with old friends. I started talking to Steve and he came
up with the idea of doing something really special for their
fans...long time former member Paul Menotiades will be performing with
Punchline on this tour. I can't even describe how excited I am about
this. I think their CD "Action" is one of the best pop punk records I
have ever heard. You aren't gonna miss this...it could be a once in a
lifetime opportunity for true Punchline fans.
Monty Are I-
Simply put...I heard these guys tear up the stage live. These clubs
require so much energy, and we think they can provide it. They have a
new record coming out which is full of anthems that will be great to
see live. Looking forward to meeting them...hopefully they will bring
us some Spikes Junkyard Dogs.
Anarbor-
I have never met these guys, but we love to take out up and coming
bands. We feel it is necessary to return the favor to the new school
music scene. They better be nice guys, because I dig their music.
Nightbeast-
He has been a friend of ours for years, and that is really special to
us. Nick was in ADITL years ago and has been a guitar tech for us as
well. We are just looking forward to hanging out with Nightbeast and
letting him showcase his music. He might play naked. He might wear a
thong. He can't see worth a shit...but can write some witty tongue in
cheek type songs. Don't miss Nightbeast's first extended tour. He
will make fun of you from stage.
Also, on a side note...
This tour will not include any bullshit like lip syncing, ego boxes,
light and sound guys, or expensive back drops. It will include a very
personal rock show experience from bands who care about their fans.
Come have fun. Leave your negative attitude at the door.
Maybe this is The Never Sleep Again Tour 2009. Or maybe it's a tour
with no name. Who cares...buy tickets and come say hi to us at the
merch table. Bring a friend or meet a friend at the show.

I just got back from North Carolina a few days ago. Went down to Atlantic Beach for the first non-working vacation I've taken in nearly four years. I figured I better take advantage of this calm before the storm, otherwise I risk not having a chance to take a vacation for another four years!
So things are heating up. Things are moving pretty fast. We're just loading the gun right now...scratch that...we're loading the big fucking cannon, so that when we pull the trigger, everything hits you like a ton of bricks and we wreck shit!! So once all that stuff gets sorted, we'll have more news for you!
On our end, Micah has finished up the guitars for the B-sides and JT's doing vocals on those this week. Keep checking back here periodically or just sign up for our email list so the news can come to you! Either way, be on the look out, and tell all of your friends to keep their ears and eyes open as well!

So much for the green movement everyone. Eron breaks too many sticks to be considered green. This is our last day in NYC and we are happy to spend some time in OHIO. Be on the look out for stuff like podcasts, new webstores, and overall sweetness. Maybe we will do a contest so you guys can win some of these broken sticks. Is that really a prize?

Ok so first things first....our e-mail list: sign up for it NOW using this link: CLICK HERE.
"Why should we sign up for your email list when you're updating your new website daily, Eron?" Well, to answer your great question, if you sign-up, not only will you be the first to know about everything HH related from Tour announcements to album information, but you might, just maybe, also get a little something extra periodically (HINT HINT HINT)!!! So if you haven't already, do it now....then tell all of your friends to sign up (who are already HH fans, because you've done your fanly duties and told them all about us)!!!
Now on to some miscellaneous rambling...Our trip back to NYC was postponed for a week. I'm bummed :( I love everything about NYC and as much as I love being home, I want to get back to the city and finish these songs off so we can actually record them and share them with you! They're coming along amazingly and the anticipation of our release is killing me!
We're staying in an apartment while we work and the location couldn't possibly be any better for me. On our block there are literally 20 indian food places, including a couple that are open 24hrs, which is great because I absolutely LOVE indian food and I don't normally get to eat it back home in Ohio! During our first week out there, we ate at 5 different indian restaurants (minimum). Some were better than others, but I look forward to trying some of the other ones on the block! As a bonus, there's a Pinkberry near by and a great bagel place! I'm in heaven!
