SUITCASE CONTEST: WIN AN XBOX & RARE TIA STUFF

Hey everyone!

To celebrate the This is New England Tour and the upcoming holiday season, we put together an extra special contest for you all. We took an old suitcase we used on tour and filled it to the brim with all sorts of TIA goodies and rare pieces of the band's history. A 7" test press, old tour passes, retired/broken gear, rare concert posters and much more. To make the deal even sweeter we're going to take you and a friend out for pizza and a show of ours in 2010 and we'll also throw in an Xbox 360. Pretty sweet eh?

To enter the contest all we ask of you is to help us get more people to listen to our new album "The Sound of Human Lives" which came out this summer on Equal Vision Records. We have a link to stream the entire album for free that you can post as a status update on Facebook, Tweet the link or you can change your default Myspace photo to our banner and add our songs to your profile player. The more things you do to help us, the more times you are entered to win. It's pretty simple to do and doesn't take much time at all. Make sure you fill out the entry form here to be entered: http://www.thereforeiamrock.com/contest

Come see us on tour right now with Vanna & A Loss For Words on the 1st annual This is New England Tour!

We appreciate your help and support and good luck!

Much love,

Alex, Brian, Travis, Chris, Jim
THEREFORE I AM

If we played stoner metal we'd be called High on Food

First day off on the This is New England Tour and after a fun night partying with people we met at the show and waking up to little toddlers running around...we decided to head to Cracker Barrel. Between Vanna and us we had a table of 12 and the old people who are probably there daily were not happy about it. We're not that crazy looking or anything but we still get looks like we are aliens when we go into places like that which makes me wonder what it's like to be in really ridiculous looking bands like ICP or Marilyn Manson. I can only dream how much fun that is. Our servers were delightful and the biscuits and gravy were flowing like water. Cracker Barrel, TIA gives you two thumbs up! I am now high on food and starting to get blurry vision but I feel like 10 bucks. On our way to Michigan to hang at Evan from Vanna's mom's "roll n tumble" exercise studio...this will be a great one.

All good thing,

THIS IS SPARTA...er...NEW ENGLAND TOUR!!! Kicks off with a bang.

Last night kicked off the This is New England Tour with a sold out show at the Webster Underground in Hartford, CT. Felt amazing to be playing with our good friends Vanna and A Loss for Words again and it started off with a bang. The room was small and packed and sweaty. Everyone was pumped for all the bands and everyone fed off eachother's energy making for a memorable show. These next couple weeks are going to be one for the history books I can already tell. Thanks to everyone that came out last night and we hope to see you all at Lupo's on Dec 19th as well. If you haven't bought tickets yet check out http://www.myspace.com/thisisnewenglandtour for more info. See you out there.

Tri-Force.
