We’re excited to announce that we’ll be performing an official showcase at the 25th Annual SXSW Music & Film Festival, March 16-20 in Austin. Details are still forthcoming on the time and venue.

We’re playing at Cosmic Charlie’s (the old Lynagh’s venue) at the corner of Woodland and Euclid Avenue in Lexington on Monday, Feb. 21. It will be our first show back there since performing at Boomslang last fall. Arise, Great Warrior has arrived at WRFL, so tell your favorite DJs there to give ’er a spin.

Our spring tour is taking shape. Feb. 23 we will appear on WYSO Radio’s “Kaleidoscope” in Ohio, and later that night we’ll be back at South Park Tavern in Dayton with Smug Brothers and Motel Beds. More shows are planned for April, but here’s what we got now:

4.11: Darkroom; Chicago
4.12: Treehouse; Columbus
4.16: Village Tavern; Mt. Pleasant, S.C. (w/ Lindsay Holler’s Western Polaroids).

Hans Werksman of Dutch music blog Here Comes The Flood reviewed “Arise, Great Warrior.” Don’t forget: Pre-order the LP beginning midnight EST on Jan. 8 from Karate Body’s webstore, and the record is out digitally via Removador Recordings & Solutions and other web retailers Feb. 8. As well, The Green Belt split 7-inch we recorded last fall with Wussy is in stores now in the United States and Canada via NAIL and in the United Kingdom from Code 7.

This just in! The Fervor will play at the shiny, new Ear X-tacy location on Thursday, Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. Our beloved independent record store has re-opened its doors at 2226 Bardstown Road, an addy I know all to well from my days at Kinko’s. While I may have flashbacks of coming off a ten-hour day only to discover the third shift person is a no-show and I’ll have to work through the night, we’ll get through them together with some songs and record shopping. The show is free, but purchasing music is not, so bring the bills you stuffed under your mattress and treat yourself to aural pleasure today!
