This Flood Covers the Earth tour help?
Hi. I'm Charlie. I play guitar and scream a lot in This Flood Covers the Earth, a post-hardcore band from San Diego along the lines of Botch, City of Caterpillar, Drive Like Jehu, Funeral Diner, Isis, Swing Kids, Unwound, etc. We have a Myspace account with some songs on it that you can listen to here: www.myspace.com/thisfloodcoverstheearth.

We have a split 12"/CD with fellow San Diegans Lanterns that came out this summer, and we have a new 7" coming out on Dood Records mid-December.

So far we've done a west coast tour, a southwest tour, and a full US tour, and are looking to tour the west coast again this winter... however, we've run into some snags with booking and are looking for any help that anyone could give us. This is our itinerary...

12/29 San Diego CA @ the Che Cafe, w/ Comadre, 400 Blows, Secret Fun Club

We're pretty fucked... think you can help?
Hey guys, we're more than a week into tour and still looking for some help...

This is for This Flood Covers the Earth and Lanterns.
Flood = screamy epic post-hardcore, hear them here: myspace
Lanterns = loud indie guitar rock, hear them here: myspace

Basically, we're looking for anything, and I will stress ANYTHING at this point. We have our own PA with us, if you could just give us access to your living room or basement or garage for an evening and invite your friends over and let us pass a hat around and try and sell some shit, that would be amazing. A lot of people have been really great and helped out, but a ton of other people flaked on us and pretty much fucked us while we're a thousand miles from home. Any help at all would be amazing, so if you can, please hit us up.

We leave soon for tour and we need some help...
Hello there.

I'm about to leave on tour with my band, This Flood Covers the Earth, and our friends, Lanterns. We have a split record that just came out on History Major Records, and were hoping to play some shows this summer in support of it around the country.

Flood plays epic, heavy post-hardcore, some influences: Botch, Isis, Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Mission of Burma, Funeral Diner. Lanterns plays spacey, aggressive indie rock, some influences: Pavement, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Meneguar, Cap'n Jazz, My Bloody Valentine, Heroin. Both bands have Myspaces with some sounds on them, so you can hear for yourself, Flood's is here, Lanterns' is here.

We could really use some help on some of these dates, and honestly, we'll play pretty much anywhere, as long as it's all ages (or [grudgingly] 18+). This includes a DIY space, a club, a bar, your living room one night, your garage in the afternoon, your basement at four in the morning... well, you get the idea. We don't need guarantees or to be fed or to be given places to stay, we just need places to play, and we really will take anything and will just be stoked to each play for twenty minutes and make some new friends with the dozen or so people that trickle in and pay attention to us for two-thirds of an hour total.

We can and will offer and honor any and all show trades in San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles. We try to be upstanding, role model-worthy young men.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for your time. Hopefully we'll hear from you and see you on the road this summer.

xoxo Charlie / Flood / Lanterns

well, seeing as though the last couple months apparently have been nothing more than This Flood Has Covered The Earth spam (though, I was sort of liking what I was hearing when I checked them out), I figure it may be time to attempt to spark conversation.

Ash Ra Tempel, and Manuel Gottsching: Gods among men, mere mortals? any fans?

San Diegans in need of tour help!
Howdy. We're This Flood Covers the Earth. We're from San Diego.

You can hear us here: clicky.

We sound roughly like Off Minor and Botch meeting at a show where Unwound play Drive Like Jehu and Isis covers.

We just finished a west coast tour, and it was lots of fun. We're looking to have even more fun in the southwest next month, we just need a little help getting the rest of our dates booked.

3 17 2006 Phoenix, AZ @ help!
3 18 2006 Clovis, NM @ the Hole
3 19 2006 Oklahoma City / Norman / Tulsa, OK @ help!

3 23 2006 Odessa, TX @ Einstein's Revenge
3 24 2006 Carlsbad, NM @ Skabrones
3 25 2006 Tucson, AZ @ Dry River

If you can give us a hand, that would be splendid. We're down to play living rooms, garages, basements, DIY spaces, cafes, clubs, bars, and anywhere else in between. We do shows here in San Diego and would be more than willing to help out any band that helps us. Feel free to drop us a line on our Myspace (listed above), or reply to this, or shoot us a line at thisfloodcoverstheearth@gmail.com.

Thanks for reading/listening!

Hi. We're going on tour. We need help. Sucks to be us.
Hi there. I'm in this band called This Flood Covers the Earth. We sound like Drive Like Jehu, Unwound, Don Caballero, Funeral Diner, Off Minor, etc (loud chaotic electric guitar music). We're going on tour in February and still need a little bit of help. We're really not picky, we'll play a bar, a club, a garage, a living room, a basement, a softball field, whatever. We can offer you pretty much any date you could ever want in San Diego if that's any incentive to helping us get some of these shows nailed down. We have an mp3 up on our Myspace, which is linked above. Here's our shit so far:

Feb 02 Ventura CA @ Alpine
Feb 03 ??? Central Valley or SF Bay Area help would be awesome
Feb 04 Sacramento CA @ DIY Vegan House, w/ Fuck the Forest
Feb 05 Portland OR @ High Karate House, w/ Built By Giants
Feb 06 Seattle WA @ the Funhouse (details about this below)
Feb 07 ??? Seattle / Bellingham / Tacoma, anywhere in Washington really
Feb 08 Eugene OR @ DIVA w/ Doubleplusgood
Feb 09 Reno NV @ the Spacement, w/ Acts of Sedition, Bafabegiya
Feb 10 Santa Cruz CA @ the Showbox, w/ Comadre, Mohorram Atta
Feb 11 Santa Ana CA @ Sol Art Gallery-Cafe, w/ Minus Radio, Poland Romanski

On the 6th in Seattle, we just need two bands to play. That's it. Just two bands. The Funhouse will give us the show if we get two bands to play it with us. Anyone? Anyone?

Any help at all would be very much appreciated. If you can offer any, please respond to this, or contact us through our Myspace, or shoot us a line at thisfloodcoverstheearth@gmail.com.

Thanks!

booking help for february tour
Hi. I'm in a band from San Diego called This Flood Covers the Earth. We used to be called the View From Space.

We're a heavy dual-vocaled post-hardcore band with long songs and weird structures.

We're booking some shows for a tour next spring, and were wondering if anyone could help us out.

Feb 02 2006 Los Angeles, CA (under control)
Feb 03 2006 Bakersfield / Fresno, CA (help!)
Feb 04 2006 San Francisco Bay Area, CA (help!)
Feb 05 2006 Portland / Eugene, OR (under control)
Feb 06 2006 Seattle / Olympia, WA (help!)
Feb 07 2006 Seattle / Olympia, WA (help!)
Feb 08 2006 Portland / Eugene, OR (under control)
Feb 09 2006 San Francisco Bay Area, CA (help!)
Feb 10 2006 San Francisco Bay Area, CA (help!)
Feb 11 2006 Bakersfield / Fresno, CA (help!)
Feb 12 2006 Los Angeles, CA (under control)

We can return the favor by booking bands in San Diego.

Thanks!

We made a record.
Hi there. We're the View From Space. We're from San Diego, CA.

We just made a record called Hands Drawn to Fire As Sailors to Sea. It's four songs in twenty-nine minutes. One of them has a gang vocal.

If Drive Like Jehu, Funeral Diner, Isis, Unwound, Mogwai, Godspeed You Black Emperor, and Envy were all cats and got into a fight, they'd sound something like the way we sound.

You can hear some of the songs here: click click click.

We play shows and stuff, and we could talk about them, but mostly this is a fairly typical "omgz guyz our band put out a cheaply made CD-R you should totally come see us play and/or buy one!!!1!" type of post.

So tell us what you think, and if you like it, that's cool. Maybe we'll come through the city you live in one day and you can come see us and tell us in person. Or maybe we already play in the city you live in, so you can do it sooner. Or if you don't like it, you can tell us that we suck and that abortion is a choice that our mothers should have made.

Anyway, thanks for reading... and hopefully listening.

Stereolab
One of my all-time favorite songs on one of my all-time favorite albums has to be the magnum opus, "Refractions in the Plastic Pulse" by those post-rock polemicists Stereolab. About 17 minutes of sheer heaven. In fact, the entire album "Dots and Loops" is crazy mad good. I can always find something I really like that is nice & long by Stereolab.

Current Mood: good
