ronniethebear Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 SO. FUCKING. BADASS. From Pitchfork: Lots of changes in the instru-metal world of Chicago's Russian Circles: First and foremost, they've signed to Seattle label Suicide Squeeze, home of Minus the Bear, Page France, and fellow Chicagoans Chin Up Chin Up. The signing is accompanied by a KGB-like flurry of personnel changes as well. While drummer Dave Turncrantz and guitarist Mike Sullivan remain in the band, they have parted ways with bassist Colin DeKupier. In his stead, they have recruited former Botch/current These Arms Are Snakes bassist Brian Cook for recording purposes, though he is not a full-time member of the band. Another Botch associate, producer Matt Bayles (also producer for Mastodon and Minus the Bear), will help RC record their follow-up to last year's Enter in December. The album is tentatively planned for a spring or summer release on their new label. But in this trying time of departed band members, temporary fill-ins, and tentative release dates, one thing is for certain: Russian Circles have three dates scheduled for the rest of this year, the first of which is November 29 in Seattle. Dates: 11-29 Seattle, WA - Neumos * 12-13 Chicago, IL - Double Door * 12-15 Austin, TX - Emo's Jr. * * with These Arms Are Snakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monk0nuggets Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Their old bass player was great though, no matter if Brian Cook is god or not. Loosing original members is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 I guess I'm also biased because I think he's perfect. But yeah, i see what you're saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest falloutcollapse Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Wow, I am excited for that new CD and I wanna go to that show in Chicago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniethebear Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 I'm hoping Brian will be playing bass for those shows since These Arms are playing with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hopefully this will ad a little agro element to the band that's been lacking. Still love the record, I could just use a little These Arms Are Snakes in everything I listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
