The Subjects: summer tour, plans to record
The Subjects are hitting the interstate on a 21-show tour, spanning the East Coast and Midwest between July 17 and August 11. They will be touring with two bands, Knife Crazy and End of the World for most of the tour. The Brooklyn based band will be playing shows with Black Tie Revue, Oscillating Fan Club, Kentucky Nightmare, The Sprickets, The Narrator, and many others.
The band has new material that will be tested out on the road. Matty Pickles shared with Puddlegum, “We have a lot of new stuff that we are working on and are going to try and play it a lot on tour. Then we are going to start recording when we get back.”
With a befitting name, The Subjects “formed while two members were teachers and the two others their high school students.” They have since released With The Ease Grace Precision And Cleverness Of Human Beings full length in February 2007, and a self-titled The Subject EP in September 2005.
Pretty Activity Records explains the band’s inception:
“After forming to play a school carnival in 2004 they realized a common goal of making music. They quickly got their act together and played shows around New York. The Subjects recorded the EP after a tour spanning from Michigan to Boston. The EP was recorded on a four-track cassette machine in a weekend. It is self-released.”
