Tuesday, December 28, 2004

It's time to take a break from all the holiday crap. If you are having trouble finding The Drunken Masters in your local record store and/or are outside of the US and can't get Paypal to work in our webstore, I have good news! You can order your copy easily through CD Baby here.

Some reviews and an interview have also been added in the press section.

News about January shows will be posted very soon.

Happy New Year from CROATAN!!!

Tuesday, November 30, 2004

Big News Alert for December - Croatan will be playing Friday December 10 which is the first night of the 2 Peace or Die Showcases at Sudsy's in Cincinnati. (The second one is December 17 so mark that one down too). This line up crushes! From headliner to opener:

PAIN LINK
KATANA
CROATAN
SOUL CASKET

We're going to start writing and recording the next album after December 10 so Croatan shows will be pretty infrequent until the Spring.

Friday, November 05, 2004

Thanks to everybody that came out for the shows and thanks to all the great bands we played with! We got to see many old friends and make lots of new ones. Unfortunately we had to get a new engine in the van and missed the last 2 weeks of shows. Believe me, we were having no fun in Barstow, CA. But with a new engine, we'll be back at it in the Spring and are looking to play all the places we missed due to the engine work.


In other news, the next show is Wednesday November 17 at Sudsy Malone's. The line up is:

WEEDEATER
JUMBO'S KILLCRANE
WHISKEY DICKS
CROATAN

I'm not yet certain about the order so punctuality is definitely a plus.

Thursday, September 23, 2004

You can now order The Drunken Masters from our webstore along with other very necessary Croatan items (who really couldn't use a Drunken Masters shot glass?) so check that out here.
New T-shirt designs will be posted when we return.

We leave tomorrow for the Western Division tour - check out the dates and come say hello if we're coming through your town. We may even try to post some photo updates if we can successfully figure out this new cell phone camera thing.

Tuesday, August 31, 2004

The Fall 2004 Drunken Masters tour is getting close and we have some dates listed in the tours area. Feel free to send us an email (with venue info if possible) if you want us to come to your town, especially if we're coming somewhere close.

Our last Cincinnati show before the tour will be Friday September 17 at Sudsy Malone's. This lineup is killer! I'm not sure of the exact order but we will probably be playing last.

CROATAN
MAGRUDERGRIND
SHRAPNELFACE
NO CANDY
BLOOD DRIVE

There should be plenty of new CROATAN merch available at this show too! New CD, 2 new T-shirt designs, stickers and shot glasses are on their way right now.
