summer tour with 16Volt and new music

It’s been a quiet couple of first months in 2008, but with miserable winter behind us and spring in the air it’s time to fill in the fans who keep asking what’s up.

To start, we will be playing a special event this Sunday, May 11th @ Darkroom in Chicago. The address is 2210 W. Chicago Ave. Opening acts for the evening will be our good buddy Ad-ver-sary, all the way from Ottawa, as well as The Strand, all the way from Phoenix. Tickets are $7. This will be our first time playing new songs from forthcoming “Medication Generation” album and debuting a new batch of video projections. Come out and enjoy life away from a computer screen.

This summer, Cyanotic will be joining 16 Volt and Bella Morte for select dates throughout the midwest, east coast and Canada. Eris from Born Into Oblivion is going to be joining us as a live drummer, imported all the way from Canada to play, party and join us for bouts of sleep deprivation.

We are honored that 16 Volt asked us to be a part of this tour. This past year had us playing shows and touring with so many of the bands that inspired us to start making music in the first place. Skinny Puppy, Front Line Assembly, Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, Meat Beat Manifesto, Chemlab and now 16 Volt, the last name on our list of major influences that we hoped to play with. Come out and enjoy the experience with us.

To coincide with the tour, we will be selling the new compilation we have been assembling over the past few months. The end result is “Cyanotic Presents - Gears Gone Wild”, featuring exclusive tracks from 16 Volt, Acumen Nation, DJ? Acucrack, Rabbit Junk, end.user, genCAB, InfoCollapse, Prude (feat. members of Chemlab, Cyanotic and Caustic), mindfluxfuneral and many more.

Its a varied mix of heavy electronic rock, electro dancefloor bangers, hard drum n bass and weirdo oddities, and we’re looking forward to releasing it to the masses for an uber cheap price. We will be posting artwork and a full tracklisting soon.

We look forward to seeing our loyal east coast and midwest fanbase again, partying with our stalwart regulars, getting to drink some Yuengling and finally returning to Canada. See you all in the near future.

We appreciate help with promotion, something as simple as telling a friend or posting a topic on a message board. Spread the word. These will be some memorable shows.

Also, support our buddies in Rabbit Junk. New album “This Life Is Where You Get Fucked” out now. Sean of Cyanotic drops some old school gangsta samples throughout the songs “Black” and “Ghetto Blasphemer”. Check www.rabbitjunk.com for more.
