yea unfortunately extensive touring (month at a time type stuff) is REALLY hard for us since Joe and I have adult jobs so we do the best we can. We couldn't fit AZ in unfortunately. Sorry, maybe next time. This time round come to San Diego!

Weirdest NW route ever. No Seattle date but they'll take the ferry to Victoria to play for almost no one.

Seattle was in our original plan and we booked accordingly, but then we found the only flight we could get from Hawaii to Seattle would get us in Seattle at 10:30pm on a Monday, so realistically we couldn't get to a show until about midnight. If it was a 4 band show and started at 10, it would be sort of doable, but would people want to stick around till midnight to see us on a Monday? Seattle isn't ruled out, just trying to do what makes the most sense.

OK lots of this stuff we’ve had to keep a lid on until it was announced, but everything’s getting spilled this week, so here is what we have going on in 2012… Still working on a few things, and I’m sure more stuff will pop up, but for now check out our Spring / Summer dates below including SOUND & FURY FEST in Santa Barbara, CA, OTTAWA EXPLOSION in Ottawa (duh), INSUBORDINATION FEST in Baltimore, MD, NO SUCK FEST in Honolulu, THE FEST 11 in Gainesville, WBAR BBQ in NYC, as well as Generation Records for record store day, a WFMU live set on May 17th, a bunch of other one off shows and weekends with lots of great bands, and our first trip out to the West coast.

Speaking of the West coast, Grave Mistake will be releasing a 12″ vinyl version of the Night Birds’ early singles collection “Fresh Kills Volume 1″ which will feature our out of print demo, “Killer Waves” 7″ single, “s/t 7″ EP, and the soon-to-be out of print “Midnight Movies” EP. The 12″ will be available in July, just in time for the two week tour out West. The “Fresh Kills” CD is still available but we wanted those songs to also still remain in print on the vinyl format. It will be remastered for vinyl and new art with lots of fun shit to look at.

We are busy writing new songs, but more on that later. For now check the dates below and come hang out with us in your town. XOXO – NBs

thanks to everyone who ordered, just ordered another batch of sweatshirts if anyone wants one

Lots of new Night Birds shirts, including (finally) getting some "ladies" sizes instead of awkward fitting youth larges. We also got a batch of zip up sweatshirts for the Winter season with some great new Brandon Ferrell artwork... We don't have a lot of these so act quick if you want one... They are printed on "Independent" sweatshirts and are super comfortable. Give the gift that keeps on giving this holiday season and buy a loved one a Night Birds shirt so we can afford to come play your crummy town. We have all our records in stock as well, check it out...

Night Birds did our first European tour in September and October of 2011. I borrowed an old camcorder from my brother and took some video along the way. We traveled to England, Scotland, Wales, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, and France and this video compiles some quick chunks of that as well as some show footage shot by some Euro pals; arranged and Edited by my little brother, Kevin Gorsegner.

anyone check out the comp yet? Some great newer NJ punk bands.

I'm so excited for this I might preorder again! I thought night birds were playing fest though?

nope, we played last year.

vinyl is in, these ship next week.

Some great stuff - hope you do well. The Mob "Step Forward" is probably my favorite OS NYHC 7" from that era.

It's a great one. Mine is the Abused, so brutal.
