From MySpace:

August 25th DILLINGER and SPYLACOPA updates...
Current mood: productive
Category: Dreams and the Supernatural

THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN : The Dillinger Escape Plan is currently taking a few months off from touring, but don't expect us to stay home for ltoo long. If we were a crack head, the road would be our pipe. We can't stop hitting that shit! We'll be back out soon. In the meantime however, we stay busy as always. We're writing for a new album, dealing with the million little behind the scenes things that are always happening, and plotting our next wave of attack. To keep yourself as up to date as you can be, check out our page on the regular, we're constantly updating our whereabouts and whatsabouts over there.

SPYLACOPA : Spylacopa is done with it's first EP. Here's the press release that just came out today :

SPYLACOPA debut EP to surface in November;
Featuring members of CANDIRIA, THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN,
ISIS and MADE OUT OF BABIES





SPYLACOPA -- the new studio project featuring John LaMacchia (Candiria), Jeff Caxide (Isis), Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan) and Julie Christmas (Made Out of Babies / Battle of Mice) -- will release their debut five-song Ep this November on RISING PULSE RECORDS .

The band which LaMacchia formed to explore experimental and hypnotic compositions while playing guitar in rock/jazz/crossover band CANDIRIA have been working since 2006 on the Ep. About the band and debut release, LaMacchia comments: "These are some of the best musicians I've ever worked with and the music on this EP speaks volumes of their talent. Fans will definitely be pleased."

While all the musicians are busy with their other bands and touring schedules, LaMacchia doesn't rule out the chance of a few shows with the band. "It will be a challenge, but a show or two might pop up. Fingers crossed."

More info on the band, visit them at their official MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/Spylacopa

BIO:
Fueled aggression, experimental precision, and driving infectious hooks are just some of the parts comprising the whole that is Spylacopa – a musical venture spearheaded by Candiria lead guitarist and songwriter John LaMacchia. The band can be described as painters of a vast audio landscape, putting listeners on a constant musical journey. And while Spylacopa often changes gears, and is far from pedestrian – it is very feel-oriented.

Formed by LaMacchia in 2000, Spylacopa was simply intended to be a conduit for his experimental and hypnotic compositions. But that soon20snowballed into something more significant. The first Spylacopa release, "Collective Unconscious," appeared on Candiria's C.O.M.A. Imprint in 2002. And some years later, in 2005, with the addition of The Dillinger Escape Plan's Greg Puciato and Jeff Caxide of Isis, another Spylacopa single, "The Duke," was released on Undreradar Records. Feeling chemistry, camaraderie, and a river of creative juices, in late 2006, Spylacopa began to work on its first official release – but not before the addition of yet another member – frontwoman Julie Christmas from Made Out of Babies.

The wheels are in motion and the band will release its self-titled, five-song debut CD on Rising Pulse Records this November. -- By Wayne Daren Schneiderman, Aug. 2008

Members:
John LaMacchia (Candiria)
Jeff Caxide (Isis)
Greg Puciato (The Dillinger Escape Plan)
Julie Christmas (Made Out of Babies / Battle of Mice)



What else....I'm working on some other stuff that will surface in the distant future, some writing, some music. I'll keep you up to date on everything as progress is made. Feel free to send me a message, I always do my best to get back to everyone. All of our time is equally valuable, so if you take time out of your day to read this, or to write me, I will most certainly take my time to read what you have to say and try to respond to you.

82588 Shirt and New MySpace Post *Shirt No Longer Available*





(click to enlarge)

Design by Shadow Monster.

All the info you need regarding this shirt is in the following MySpace post:

So the Kerrang awards happened Thursday night. We won an award called "The Spirit Of Independence Award", which according to host Scott Ian(before he was a "VH1 Celebrity" he was actually in a rad little band called "Anthrax", kids) goes to an "uncompromising band that manages to break rules and stay outside of the mainstream" or something like that. Basically they should just call it the "Total Badass" award. If you're a girl, we're like the guy who wears shitty clothes, hangs out with people your parents don't approve of, doesn't appear to have a real job, but is somehow smarter, kicks more ass, mysteriously has more money, drives a better car, and fucks better than your boring rolex wearing white bread boyfriend. Spirit of Independence? That's the DEP way, don't they know that? Anyhow, we got recognized, and sent Ben Weinman and Asian Steve across the pond to receive the award.

Ten minutes into the award ceremony, I get a text from Ben saying that we are seated right next to Metallica. Oh....killer. I think at that moment I was doing something really awesome like pumping gas or something and started to begin to question my decision not to go.

So nine hours later I get a call from Ben, and he tells me a tale of tales that will live on in infamy. The following events were real and actually happened:

-Ben and Asian Steve got onstage and accepted the award on behalf of The Dillinger Escape Plan....pretty awesome, great honor. Bands that we are huge fans of like Metallica and Rage Against The Machine stand and applaud...the surrealism begins. Thanks Kerrang, and thanks to our friends in the UK, you have always always been consistently some of our favorite people to play for, and some of the best and most supportive people in the world for us.

(Here's where the story goes into a world of surrealism that surpasses even Salvador Dali's most bizarre imaginations)

-Later, Metallica accepts some award, and sends a shout out to Asian Steve.

-Backstage....Lars Ulrich comes up to Ben and the Asian and goes "Yo! You're Asian Steve!"

-Today, actually at this moment, Metallica is playing Reading fest, and Ben and Asian Steve have been there hanging out and kicking it with them all day. They are completely aware of both "'87 Hetfield" and the significance of "82588". At the rate this story is unfolding, Asian Steve is probably onstage right now playing third guitar for "Harvester Of Sorrow" or something.

Needless to say my mind is blown. At the instant Lars ran up and called out Asian Steve I would have started punching myself in the face trying to wake up from whatever alternate reality I had gone into. Right now I am convinced that they have entered some sort of matrix of awesomeness, a parallel dimension of some sort where instead of a white rabbit with a flavor flav clock jumping down holes, a little danish drummer of the greatest metal band of all time runs up to Asian Steve and recognizes him out loud by name. I no longer question my choice not to go. It goes beyond that. If I see any of you, at any time, and you ask me why I didn't go...I will punch you straight in the face. They are apparently filming a lot, so we'll get some footage of everything up when they get back.

So anyhow, the Party Smasher shirt sold out, and tomorrow we will have the 82588 shirt up for sale on the main page. Tomorow is, of course, 8/25/08. The catch is this. This shirt will ONLY BE ON SALE TOMORROW. Forever. That's it. It goes up tonight at midnight EST, and goes down tomorrow night at midnight PST. I'm throwing an extra three hours in there, just as a cushion for people on the west coast. But that's it. After that, this shirt will never ever ever be available again. We aren't limiting it to a particular number of copies, we're just selling it tomorrow, and that's it forever. So tonight, when the clock hits midnight on the east coast of the US, or 5am in the UK, 6am in Europe, 9pm on the west coast of the US, whatever the hell time Australia/Japan/New Zealand operates on, up it goes. Here's a preview...(please don't sue us Lars! I know you're reading! It's an homage!!!)

EDIT: Inspired by the Metallica album "...And Justice For All", and the lady justice visual, this limited edition "82588 : NO JUSTICE FOR ANY" shirt features a headless Lady Justice crumbling and falling apart on the front, with "Dillinger Escape Plan" written in the classic Metallica "Justice" font at the bottom, and the uneven scales of justice being tipped by money on the back. This shirt is only going to be available from now until August 26th, a little over a 24 hour period. Don't miss out, this is going to be a Dillinger shirt that will end up being a collector's item for sure. After today, you will never be able to get it again unless you scour Ebay and get lucky but I'm sure nobody's ever gonna give it up. Check it out on our main page. Then after you order one make sure you listen to something gnarly off of that album like "Dyer's Eve", or "Shortest Straw", or the middle part of "Blackened" on a loop for 30 minutes, and close your ehttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifyes and soak in the pure unadulterated majesty of pure 87 Hetfield storming around like a lion with a giant white ESP Explorer that says "EET FUK" on it or something oddly cool. Or better yet, if you're a noob who thinks Metallica is just some band of old dudes who put out some terrible song on the Mission Impossible 47 soundtrack, you should probably go check THIS out. Please try to control your boner.

Spreading Like Wings Interviews: J.R. Hayes of Pig Destroyer





In May this year fellow Relapse record colleagues Pig Destroyer teamed up with The Dillinger Escape Plan, Into Eternity, Mayhem and At The Gates for the Extreme The Dojo 20 Japanese Tour. Amongst other things, I spoke with vocalist J.R. Hayes about his experience on that tour and the reception of their latest record Phantom Limb, which was released June last year on Relapse to an extremely favorable reception.

How was touring with The Dillinger Escape Plan recently? Did you find it enjoyable?


Yeah, those guys are cool. Even though we've played together a few times over the years, I'd never really hung out with them, so I didn't know what to expect. They were very gracious. Plus, they're always fun to watch live. The stage is their personal jungle gym.

You have released quite a lot of your material on Relapse Records. What is you relationship with them (and record labels in general) like?

It's great. They don't pressure us too much, which I appreciate. They let us take our time so we can make everything exactly the way we want. Then, when we finally get a record done, they promote the hell out of it. No complaints, really.

What do you think about bands like Radiohead or Nine Inch Nails who are self-releasing their albums?

Good for them. Personally, I like having a label, 'cause they're the ones that do all the dirty work involved in promotion. Fuck that shit. I don't want anything to do with that. I just want to concentrate on writing and playing. It's kind of interesting though, how people can make records and then have them available to the public pretty much instantly. In my experience, it usually takes several months from the time the record's in the can for it to finally hit the streets.

Phantom Limb is an extraordinary album that “sees the band display more ebullient and straight-ahead sensibilities.” (Rock-A-Rolla) What were your intentions for this record as you headed into the studio?

We just wanted to avoid the "concept album" nonsense this time and write the best songs we could, so each one could stand alone as well as being part of the whole. And of course, we wanted to make it brutal.

How would you describe your song-writing process for Phantom Limb?

It was more efficient than usual. We're kind of used to writing and recording simultaneously, but this time we had everything written and polished before we even set foot in the studio. Having all that extra time to tweak the songs was awesome.

Do you think the recording and studio process for Phantom Limb is consistent with what you have done in the past, or were trying to tread new ground?

Most of the time we record our own shit, but this time we wanted to venture into a "real" studio...mostly for the sake of the drums...the drum sounds have kind of been a thorn in our side the last couple records.

The overall reception to Phantom Limb has been extremely favorable. What do you account for the success of the new record?

Some hard work and inspiration from us...some hard work from Relapse...and of course, the support of our fans. It's a team effort.

How did you go about selecting John Dyer Baizley to do the artwork for the new record?

I really dug his art for the first Baroness record, I loved the psychedelic aspect of his style and the vibrant colors he uses. The "terrifyer" art is very stark and bare...so I wanted something with some more depth this time. Something that would draw you in.

Scott Hull has mentioned visual artist Matthew Barney as having an influence on his music. Do you share Scott’s admiration?

I'm not as familiar with his work as Scott is, but I do appreciate his sense of grandeur. He comes up with some epic, breathtaking visuals.

What current bands interest and excite you?

Pygmy Lush, Weekend Nachos, Plague Bringer, Endless Blockade, and even though they're not new...Rotten Sound's new album slays everything.

What’s next for Pig Destroyer?

Hopefully we'll find time to write a couple grindcore songs between all the shots of vodka.



Pig Destroyer will commence an Australian and New Zealand tour this October thanks to the great booking agent/record label Heathen Skulls (of Grey Daturas fame).

The Dillinger Escape Plan on Fuel TV's The Daily Habit and New MySpace Post

The Dillinger Escape Plan will appear on Fuel TV's "The Daily Habit" tonight the 21st of August at 9:00PM EST (6:00PM PST). The band will perform the songs "Milk Lizard" and "Fix Your Face" off Ire Works.

I'm sure some footage of this will be uploaded in the next couple of days, so keep your eyes peeled.

And some more info from The Dillinger Escape Plan's latest post on MySpace:

Fuel. Not Fuse. Fuel. I never heard of it either. I know. But apparently it's some extreme sports type of lifestyle channel if you have digital cable or satellite....which I don't. But maybe you've all heard of it and I'm the only one who hasn't. Find it on your little menu guide thing, I'm sure its channel negative four thousand or something, and check it out. Here's the Fuel press release so I can just copy and paste it:

"Airing Thursday, August 21, at 9:00 pm Eastern Time (6:00 pm Pacific Time) and telecast three additional times, Nathaniel Curran, Aaron Lieber and The Dillinger Escape Plan will appear on The Daily Habit.


Fresh off his win at the 2008 Honda U.S. Open and sitting at the top of the WQS standings, pro surfer Nathaniel Curran is here. Plus, director of a very moving surf film, "The Pursuit", Aaron Lieber joins us. Correspondent Jordan Morris uncovers a different side of Brendan Fraser. Also, known for pioneering the style known as American mathcore, musical guest The Dillinger Escape Plan is in the studios.
"


Are we gonna get tagged as "mathcore" forever? What about "grammar-core"? Or "physical education-core"? Or "political science-core"?

We are in the single digits out of 100 of remaining Party Smasher shirts. You can get them on our myspace page. Check em out. 82588 is coming up next in a few days....on 8/25/08. The twenty fifth anniversary of a little record called "...And Justice For All" you might wanna check out if you're not a total poseur and aren't in the know already. The 82588 shirt will only be available on 8/25/08. More info about that will hit you on the 24th.


So yeah, tune into that show and check us out playing Fix Your Face and Milk Lizard, pick up a Party Smasher shirt, and look out for another one of these bulletins/blogs in a few days, about the 82588 shirt that will only be available for one day ever.

Huge New MySpace Post, or: How Greg Puciato Ate Rice Krispies For Breakfast Today

From MySpace:

The End Of The Road....
Category: Music

....is a pretty good song by Boys 2 Men. One of those songs that when it comes on, by the end everyone is singing along. It's also a very weird feeling that comes along at the end of an album touring cycle, when you've been on the road for almost a year straight, and you reach the end of it for a while. It's like driving a car at 150mph the whole time then coming to a stop. When you are travelling the world with the same nine people in various forms of transportation, all for a single cause, you don't stop to realize how great it all is until you're done for a while, and how much that whole lifestyle and all of those people have become a part of yourself. We turned ourselves into machines, that play through injuries and violently exorcise rock and roll demons on a nightly basis. What a strange feeling it is to know that we don't have any shows booked at all and that we'll be home for a bit. Like a soldier with no more war to fight. Kinda like Rambo at the end of First Blood. So if you see any of us backpacking through your town mumbling about what time the show starts or yelling at random people to "start the intro", just look the other way. I guess what's weird about it, is that for us the road had become home. We left to record Ire Works in June of 2007, and never really stopped after that. Now we're looking at the first substantial block of time off the road, and it's time to shift gears a bit. Which brings us to our first order of business:

-Some of you may have seen October tour dates posted for a tour we were to take part in. Due to circumstances beyond our control(no we're not breaking up so don't believe anything that might start floating around on the internet) we will not be taking part in that tour. We wish every other band on the tour well, and hope that it is a great success for them and for the people behind the scenes working hard to make it a great tour.

We have a lot of exciting things happening. The best of which is writing for the next album, which we'll record sometime next year. We have a good amount of ideas in the initial testing stages, and we're about to really dive in. We also have a DVD of early years Dillinger in the works for all you old heads or people interested in a history lesson, and we're still gonna be cranking out these limited Ire Works shirts 'til we reach the end of the song list. Party Smasher and 82588 are coming up, wait 'til you see how ridiculous they are. I know that you'll all be stoked on them. I may have to break my rule of not wearing my own band's shirts. Hopefully Lars won't sue us over the 82588 design....(hint hint)

We had a lot of great shows on the US run, we were totally shocked at the amount of people who showed up to see us at the Cavalera shows. Thank you all so much. We had a lot of fun and it was great to see you all. Chain Reaction? Los Angeles House Of Blues? Two shows that will definitely not be forgotten.

Remember when we posted Jeff's number online and you all called saying "Bitch I'm The Boss"....well if you still have Jeff Tuttle's phone number, you may now wanna call him up and say "Bitch, You Are Definitely No Longer The Boss", because he just got engaged. Domestication better not sap your ability to unleash the fury, boy. Please stay the boss Jeff. Wear them pants son! Wear 'em!

You should all probably go see Tropic Thunder. Absolutely ridiculous. Not since Soul Man has anyone turned in a performance like Robert Downey Jr did in that movie. Utterly absurd. I've never been in a theater where there were so many people uncomfortably trying to not laugh at some of the un-PC parts in that movie. Lighten up folks, it's called comedy.

Ben played a crazy avant garde set last night at John Zorn's club the Stone two night's ago with Trevor Dunn. It was filmed, we'll get some stuff up soon. He's got a lot of other cool stuff going on too like programming work with Ephel Duath and who knows what else he's into. Head over to his page at www.myspace.com/benjaminweinman every now and then and maybe he'll fill you in on those things before I do.

Spylacopa, the project with me and John LaMacchia of Candiria fame, that has been slowly materializing in the background for years now, is finally seeing the light of day. Our first EP, with guest appearances from Julie Christmas of Made Out Of Babies/Battle Of Mice fame and Jeff Caxide from Isis, is gonna come out on November 4th. More info on the release and the project as a whole will be forthcoming, keep up to date on that over at www.myspace.com/spylacopa .

Don't worry, we'll definitely still play some shows while we're writing the new album. We'll get another US run in at some point as well as another UK run and some off the beaten path places like Mexico and South America. We'll let you know. Stay tuned to this site for whatever may come...

OR you can always go to our unofficial news page, www.spreadinglikewings.com and the kid who runs that will probably know about anything pertaining to our lives before any of us do. I don't bother making decisions in my life at all anymore, I just check that site and find out what happens. I go there, and it'll say something like "Greg Puciato ate rice krispies for breakfast today", and it'll somehow be before I actually even ate breakfast, but the fact is that I actually was thinking of eating rice krispies. Then I do, thus fulfilling the prophecy. It's a little weird. There's probably news up about this blog even though I haven't posted it yet.

Here's some new FOOTAGE from tour. Check it out if you're into Brent from Mastodon and homosexual zombies(very closely related). We love you all...Asian Steve doesn't though. He hates everyone. Go here and tell him to have a coke and a smile every now and then.

-The Dillinger Escape Plan
In summary:
  • The Dillinger Escape Plan will NOT be playing with Suicide Silence in October due to unforeseen circumstances.
  • A new DVD of the early days of The Dillinger Escape Plan is in the works.
  • Limited edition shirts themed on songs from Ire Works will still continue to be produced. "Party Smasher" and "82588" are the next two shirts to be coming out.
  • Spyaloca will be releasing an EP on the 4th of November.
  • And last but not least, Jeff Tuttle has been engaged. Congratulations dude.
