Light Grenades goes Gold

This is old news but I thought it was worth posting because it's GREAT news. Hopefully it will continue to do well and reach platinum status like the previous albums. It is now #38 on the Billboard 200, climbing very slowly now. Anna Molly has dropped from the #1 spot on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, and has stabilised at the #4 spot on the Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

The band is well into it's tour now, playing some interesting sets. I'm quite disappointed in the lack of good quality bootlegs, but maybe it's just a matter of time before a good recording pops up. Meanwhile youtube suffices just barely.

The Dig fan video competition has officially come to a close, and most of the submitted videos are up on YouTube. I've not seen all, I've not even seen half, but there sure are some very interesting ones out there, especially those that have tried integrating CGI with the band footage. As far as I know it's the band that judges, and they also want to do something about those videos that didn't win but were good enough for a special mention.

Speaking of vidoes, Ben has put up a video of a performance of Pistola in the studio. It looks like it was filmed recently, though there's no real way of knowing that other than Brandon's hair cut (which is funny if you think about it).



It's a great vid indeed, I wish they did more of this stuff.

The band will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel on the 15th of February, free tickets are available to fans in the area.
