Oct 30, 2006 - X-Fest & Halloween

Just played our biggest show ever this past weekend, 99.5 X-Fest. National acts Shinedown, Saliva, Lost Prophets, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, & Plain White Tees all rocked the main stage. We had a blast. Hopefully, we can get some pictures up soon. Tomorrow is Halloween, and in our hometown of Greenville, NC there is always a rockin' party going on downtown. Streets are closed off, snipers on roof-tops, and lots of drunk college girls flashing everyone in site. We'll be playing at Scores, right on the main strip of downtown. If you're in Greenville, check it out. If not check the shows page and see when we'll be playing in you're hometown. Until next time, Supoort Local Music.

Sept 17, 2006 - Starting to Branch Out

This band has been together over three years. Ean (our lead singer) has been with the band a little over a year. In the past six months we have really been through the ringer. Not only have we moved out of playing shows in our area of Eastern North Carolina, we are pushing as far as New York and Florida. A pretty big step. Check out our shows page and see when and where we'll be over the next couple of months. Also, our deal with our indie label didn't work out. Nobody's fault, it's just that they had a different idea for Katharsis than we did so, we decided to get out before things got to serious. This in turn has kept us off our original plan of starting a tour in November. We're pushing strong for January and would appreciate any help anyone can offer. Later.

Sept 5, 2006 - RiverRock Festival

This Saturday we'll be headlining the first ever Greenville RiverRock Festival at the Town Commons in Greenville, NC. This festival is all about supporting local music, one of our biggest pushes. Come out Saturday, Sept 9th for an all day event starting at 11 in the morning and finishing with us 7:45pm. Check out the official RiverRock website for all the details. See you there.

August 6, 2006 - This Past Month

This past month has been a whirlwind. We've been getting things in place for a small tour (possibly a big tour if everything works out) and playing our local shows. Also, we've been hard at work writing new material. If you've been to any of our recent shows you might have gotten a taste. We just wanted everyone to know that we haven't forgotten about katharsisrock.com, just been busy with all the other BS. We'll be taking some new pictures pretty soon, so be on the look out for those. Check out the shows page to see when we'll be hitting your town. Also, if you haven't been to our MySpace page, here is the link. Add us as friend, leave a comment, whatever. We'll see you on the road.

June 21, 2006 - Writing and Playing

Working on new material is never easy. We want it to meet our fans expectations and our own. Over the past few months, we've been taking time to sit down and work on new songs and make old songs better. If you've been coming out to a lot of our shows, you've noticed a lot of the same sets. Don't worry, you're about to here some amazing new music from us. So, stay tuned and head over to our shows page to see when we'll be coming around. We'll see you on the road.

June 7, 2006 - A Little Break

Last weekend was the first one we've had off in a long time and we've been using the time to work on new material as well as checking out other local bands. With that said, we'll be hitting the scene hard this summer, starting this Friday in Myrtle Beach. Then back to Greenville, NC on Saturday to play Dr. Unks for the second time. Head over to our friend, Brad Benson's page, (on our links page) we've left him a very nice comment.

May 27, 2006 - Staying Busy

Just wanted to drop a quick line out there and thank everyone of you who have been coming out to our shows.

May 9, 2006 - Heading To SC

If you haven't check out our MySpace Page, now is the time to do it. We've recently added a live acoustic track of Captivity. Garett and Ean rocked out at Ham's a few weeks ago and our good friend Travis Proctor was kind enough to record the session. This past Friday we played at On Cue in Greenville, NC and had an awesome time (minus the power going out during our first song). We'll be playing there again in September, if not sooner. On Friday, we head to South Carolina to play our first out-of-state show in Myrtle Beach. We'll be playing with a great band from that area named Silenced. If you're in or around Myrtle Beach this weekend you should definitely check out Ron Jon's on Friday night.

April 26, 2006 - ...shut down by the GPD

Many "firsts" were accomplished this past week. Last Friday we played our first show in Raleigh, NC and for the first time got to play outdoors. It was great weather and we had fun supporting a good cause. Raleigh, we appreciate your hospitality and can?t wait to return (May 19th @ The Dive Bar). On Monday, we returned home to Greenville, NC to rock out at Ham?s Restaurant. This was going to be our second straight show getting to play outside. We set all of our equipment up on the back patio and started the show around 9:00. Two songs into the second set, we got shut down by the Greenville Police Department. After deliberation (and a fine from the police) we packed our gear, moved it inside, and set everything back up, all in about 30 minutes. The show must go on. Special thanks to everone who helped us moved the operation indoors. You guys rock! This was the first time cops had ever shutdown our show.

Looking forward, we?ll be playing at Dr. Unks in Greenville on Thurday. This is our first time playing there, so come out and have some fun with us. If you?re in the Kinston, NC area this Saturday, we?ll be playing at Club X-Ale (behind Vernon Park Mall). Also, a little heads up, we are working on some new tracks that we'll be releasing pretty soon. So, be on the look out for that and check back to the website very soon for new features that we'll be adding. If you have any suggestions about content for the site please send us an email.

This Friday we?ll be playing a benefit show at Mission Valley in Raleigh, NC. It?s a benefit show for the Katrina victims of last year?s hurricane.
