Crown The Lost Lining Up New Shows

Pittsburgh progressive power-thrash band Crown The Lost has announced that they're booking shows for the rest of 2008 and early 2009 as well as some other updates.

"Much to our chagrin, winter has arrived early in Pittsburgh, meaning Joe can't parade around in a sleeveless shirt everyday and Grimes gets to wear his leather jacket that has all of this lame embroidery on it. I kid thee not.

"We are currently in the process of lining up shows for December of '08 and into 2009. One date confirmed thus far is on April 5th with some newb thrash band called "Exodus." Not sure who they are. Ask Renaldi. We shall have ticket info soon, of which we will post immediately. We do hope to have at least one Pittsburgh show before the end of the year, which will serve as Kevin's first gig with the CTL clan.

"As evidenced by our new profile pic, we do have a new shirt design courtesy of Derrick "Mullet Chad" Nau of Skeletonwitch fame. Derrick was introduced to us by none other than Teh Charn, which might be the first worthwhile thing to come about in our relationship with the JFAC sticksman. Said shirts should be ready to go in a few weeks, so be sure to pick one up - Renaldi needs to buy some amino acids..."

You can view the new shirt design mentioned above here.
