Remember the Idaho Battle Of The Bands that we played last month?!? Well… because of YOUR support, enthusiasm, and favorable votes, we are coming back to headline the Boise Block Party, also known as the Ticket Out Of Town Tour. I hope you’re ready for a good time, Idaho. The show will take place in (or around) The Venue (not to be confused with Utah’s In The Venue). Good things will happen. In fact, it’s safe to say that GREAT things will happen if you bring your A-Game and some dancin’ shoes. And let me tell you, EVERYONE is gonna be there! Except the people you hate… I told them they couldn’t come unless they were nice to you. Pre-game stretching is highly recommended. Can’t wait.

Pretty standard after show update. The Sakai Incident wasn’t able to make it, so Let’s Burn It Down filled in. I don’t know about you guys, but we were stoked to play. It’s not very often that we have a 12-day gap in-between shows, so I think everyone was a bit party-starved. At least I was having music with-drawls and missed all of your pretty faces.

Thanks to YOUR votes on Ernie Ball’s BattleOfTheBands.com, Covendetta was given the opportunity to play Vans Warped Tour for their second consecutive year. Nearly 200 Utah bands, and 12,000 bands nationwide competed for a spot to play their home town in 2010. Covendetta was selected to play in Salt Lake City, along with Fire In The Skies, The Sakai Incident, Hotel On Baltic, and Written In Fire. For a full list of bands that played Warped Tour, click on the links below.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we can’t thank you enough for your support! I am proud to say, that so far, we have never lost a Battle Of The Bands! This is only because we have the most loyal friends, family, and fan-base imaginable. If you were at the Salt Lake City Warped Tour this year, check out the link below. You may find yourself in one of these pictures! Covendetta mentioned in the Deseret News on Sunday August 8th, 2010.

To sum it up, the Tupac ShaTour was quite the vacation away from home. There was a bit of bad luck thrown around, but the gang fights and drive-bys were kept to a minimum. We made it back in one piece. Seems as though the worst injury was James‘ sliver infection caused by our cliff decent in Cali. Cost him a few hours in the emergency room and a $10 double-parking ticket, but luckily the doctor was able to save the hand… I mean, what would tour be without a little bronchitis, or a prestigious one-and-a-half-star hospital visit? To make the deal even sweeter, our good friends Josh Nemcek and Kurt Michelson joined us on our notorious west coast endeavor. They were asked to fill in on guitar and drums during Chris and Jimmy‘s absence (August 8th-August 10th). Unfortunately, we were unable to play these last 3 shows, and closed the tour in Salt Lake City, tearing up the Ernie Ball Stage, at Vans Warped Tour 2010. Due to these cancellations, the tour was shorter than we would have liked, but hardcore (for sure) nonetheless.

For the sake of not leaving anyone out, the following bands simply ‘rock’. They played with us during our tour, but were not mentioned in the original post. So here they are. August 1st – Ride The Horse, The Black Tie Rebels, Pixikill, and Peter Black; August 2nd – Chasing The Wind
Unfortunately, The Chicago Outfit and Still A Dying Day weren’t able to make it on August 5th in Reno. Go check them out and tell them that they were missed. And there’s the news from the cruise. We will do what we can to throw together the footage from the road, but it may be inappropriate for all ages… If it ever makes it to theaters (or youtube), view with caution. No guarantees though. Still working on the last video I promised ya. Anyways, keep checking back. If you took pictures from the Tupac ShaTour, and want to be in our fan album, send them over!

ORIGINAL POST:
We were lucky enough to jump on the last few days of the infamous Tupac ShaTour with our buddies Monsters Scare You! Although they are heading home after the show in Reno (August 5th), Covendetta is picking up the remainder of the tour (through August 10th). Hopefully this east-coast, west-coast rivalry died with Tupac, cause I don’t feel like getting shot today. I guess Monsters Scare You! made it out alive.

This will be Covendetta’s second west-coast tour, adding California and Nevada to our list of stops. As you can see, the Salt Lake City Vans Warped Tour falls smack dab within our tour schedule. And thanks to your votes, we will be coming back and playing the Ernie Ball Stage for the second year in a row! This adds special tour appearances such as Mayday Parade, Closure In Moscow, Emarosa, Eyes Set To Kill, Automatic Loveletter, The Sparring, and Riverboat Gamblers. For those of you who are unable to make it up to Salt Lake City, no need to worry. The Tupac ShaTour is full of historic venues, music video shoots, home coming parties, and awesome bands that are bound to get your feet moving. If you can make an appearance at any one of these shows, you won’t miss out on the party. And if you see us high rollin’ in our ‘District Of Covendetta’ school bus, make sure and come say what’s up.

The line went for several blocks, and some weren’t able to get in until the first band finished playing. This is a handful of bands that you don’t want to miss. Christian-influenced hardcore at its best.

We liked you so much, we’re coming back! To avoid any confusion, we will be jumping on the second half of The Tupac ShaTour with Monsters Scare You! and A Shattered Hope. In the meantime (while we’re finishing up a few more Utah shows), we decided to stop by in Pocatello and say what’s up to a few of our Idaho buddies. Just to give a little taste of the gangsta tour before we jump on in August. Hope to see you all there!

After countless member changes, and months of progression, Covendetta has finally released their first EP, ‘SoundRaves And TechnoVision’. 6 tracks in all, the EP consists of ‘Only You Would Head Bang To The Sound Of The Ocean’, ‘Eye Of The Lyger’, ‘Even You Were Black And White In The 50′s’, ‘Last Week Jesus Beat Me At Video Golf’, ‘There’s A Jungle Cat In The Bathroom’, and ‘Be Responsible And Kill Your Zombie’. The release show was a huge success, and nearly 400 copies of the EP were given out. Borasca was not able to make it, so Augustine filled in, and kicked off the night.

For those of you who weren’t able to make it out to the CD release show, the album is NOW AVAILABLE on iTunes, ShockHound, Zune, TuneCore, BigCartel, and other online vendors. If you see us in your area, come pick up a copy for $5 at one of our shows. We will also be uploading the music video soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Upon hearing the album, you may notice there are several vocalists, varying from guitarist Ren Rigby (tracks 1, 2, 3, and 5), Drummer Jimmy White (tracks 1 and 5), and Guitarist Chris Lyons (track 5). Although in prior releases, keyboardist James Belliston was the primary singer, he sang tracks 4 and 6 only. We would love to hear any feedback that you may have regarding the album. Please comment.

Huge news come in huge blogs. We probably should have built up a little more anticipation, don’t you think? I’m kidding… That’s sarcasm in it’s truest form (?)… Anyway, I want to be the first to apologize on the delay. We have been working day in and day out to make sure this extended production redefines the meaning of life as we know it… Or at least, accurately illustrates our undying belief in zombies (through metaphoric undertone, harmonic translucency, and the magic of drop D). But the waiting is over! The day is finally here! And to show our appreciation for all of your support and patience, we are GIVING EVERYONE FREE CDS!! There is a catch to all of this, however. The venue has a capacity limit… and it’s filling quick!!!! Contact us for tickets NOW, so we can ensure that you reap the benefits of this sweet deal. Hey, that’s not all! We will also be SHOOTING A MUSIC VIDEO, so bring your energy and let’s make you all YouTube famous! I want to see endless waves of crowd surfing, theoretically unsafe stage-diving… and what ever else comes as a side effect to completely insanity. I know that you’re full of untapped energy. I was front row, stage left for the Hilary Duff Wall Of Death. And that was amazing to say the least. Let’s sum up. #1 Awesome Bands, #2 Free Stuff, #3 Guaranteed Fame = ONE SWEET PARTY! But we need something from you. Help us get the word out! Myspace, FaceBook… the whole 9 yards. Send out texts, emails, Twitter it. Let’s make this THE BIGGEST PARTY OF THE YEAR!!

In the attempt to not sound repetitive… Although we were more than 170 miles away from home, we managed to pull out with the win, thanks to all of our peeps over in Pocatello. I’d just like to say, that there was some killer competition at the show last night. Everyone did a phenomenal job, and as always, we had a blast. We really appreciate everyone who came out to see us, and all the bands that played. Also, our good friends Sea Swallowed Us Whole and The Sakai Incident were added to the show at the last minute. As always, it was a treat. So what does this mean? It means we’re coming back! We’ll be headlining the Boise Block Party outside of The Venue. More information coming soon. Thanks again for everything you guys do!
