We're excited to be opening up for San Antonio band Hacienda on Thurs., Jan. 28. Also just added to the calendar is a show with Grant Hart from Husker Du at the Frequency on March 6! We're planning on taking February off to focus on writing new material, so stayed tuned for upcoming spring shows for premieres!
We're finally getting around to making some shirts, so keep your eyes peeled for new merch beginning in March.
We're saddened to see bassist Dave "Dangers" Sperka move on to greener pastures, pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at Boston University. Dangers is a very talented musician and we look forward to hearing more from him in the future.
Taking over for Dangers is Kris Hansen, bassist for the National Beekeepers Society. We've been digging Kris' playing for a long time and are happy to report that he's doing a beautiful job in El Valiente. Now that Kris has learned the entire EV repertory, we'll begin working on new material in Winter 2010.
Selections from El Valiente's El Topo are prominently featured as the scoring for the Madison based independent horror movie, Incest Death Squad, directed by Cory Udler. Making waves as being too disgusting for famed horror picture company Troma, IDS premiered on Oct. 2 at Madison Horror Fest.
