Alright so it's about time we update you on what is going on with DDUP.  We will finally be getting our transmission fixed on our van sometime within the next two weeks.  So hopefully once it's fixed we will be playing more shows.  Aside from that we have a show at the end of November.  Go to the shows section to see more information.  By going to this show and saying you are there to see us, you can help us win money towards our next recording.  We will have a new shirt design for that show so be sure to check it out. 

What have we been doing lately?  Finishing up our follow up cd to "Legend" so that we can record in January.  We are set to record around the first week in January.  So look forward to hearing the new DDUP.  It's gonna be more catchy, more upbeat, heavy, heartfelt, and at the same time it will still be fun. 

We are finally back from our two week tour with When These Days End.  This was probably our hardest tour yet.  We dealt with heat problems, money issues, bad promoters, getting pulled over by the cops, and so on.  Though it was a comfortable ride because of our new van, the heat changed that.  We dealt with 106 degree weather with no air conditioning.  Due to the heat and the weight of the trailer our air conditioner did not work well and actually started to over heat the engine.  So we were unable to use it.  The money issues were due to the lack of promotion on most of the shows.  Because some of the shows were not promoted well, we did not get the gas money we asked for from the promoters.  So most of the money came out of our pocket.  As for the promoters that did promote and just got screwed over because of a bigger show close by, thanks for all the hard work and we look forward to working with you again.  Now about us getting pulled over.  We got pulled over not for speeding, not for failure to wear seatbelts, but because of obstruction of view from a scented tree on the rear view mirror haha.  Actually that only gave the cop a reason to pull us over.  The officer was actually looking for a black van pulling a black trailer and we just happened to fit the description.  The cop actually turned out to be really cool and directed us to some good sites around the area.  O and we didn't get any tickets naturally because we weren't the vehicle they were looking for.

But aside from all the hardships during this tour, this was actually one of the best times we ever had.  We got to tour with good friends and we got to experience new places with them.  A lot of good times during this tour in my opinion canceled out all the hard times.  Thanks to all the new friends we made on tour and thank you to everyone who came out to see us.  Also we apologize to everyone who went to the Massachussetts show yesterday looking forward to see us.  We got halfway there and the transmission started slipping pretty bad on the van.  So to be safe we turned back before we messed up our engine completely.  Once we get the van worked on we will make it up to you.  But we are looking forward to touring much more.  First thing is first though.  We need to finish up our next full length cd and get recording.  Recording as of right now is planned to start in January.  So make sure to keep looking for updates.

As you can tell we don't have a lot of shows lined up.  This is because we are once again starting to write new material.  So far the new material we have done as of now we are very happy with.  As usual it will be upbeat, hard hitting, full of emotion, and most of all fun.  We do not plan on releasing these songs live until we start to record them.  As of right now we only have a few new song's finished so it is not enough to record our follow up full length cd just yet.  Also be sure to go to our myspace and read our new blog.  In the blog there is a flyer sheet you can print up, cut out, and hand out.  It's not a flyer sheet for a show we are playing.  It is a flyer sheet with all our websites on it so people can check us out.  So make sure to print our flyers out and hand them out to friends, put them in your local music store, and etc.  Remember, the fans and listeners are the ones who make all us bands what we are.  So keep supporting your local music and music in general.

Tour update from California.  We are almost halfway through our US tour and everything is going great.  We have been able to see places we would have never imagined of seeing and we are looking forward to see the rest of the US.  So far the scenes from the different states have had great reactions for us and our brother bands on the tour.  Now to see how the rest of the US reacts to DDUP.  Much love from all of us in Death Do Us Part and hope to see everyone at our upcoming shows.
