Gaza set to record new album

Gaza will enter the studio on November 1st to commence recording for their third full-length. Currently untitled, the album will be produced by Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou (Trap Them, Today Is The Day) at his Godcity studio in Salem, MA, and will be released in 2012 via Black Market Activities. Says Gaza frontman Jon Parkin, "We've been writing and crafting all summer long and then some. The songs are exactly what critics and haters have been wanting to hear from us. We didn't write these for ourselves. We only care about what the world thinks." The recording session falls amidst a full US tour, which finds Gaza venturing across the U.S. and back from their hometown of Salt Lake City, UT. Dates include: 10/21 Salt Lake City, UT @ Raunch Records 10/22 Cheyenne, WY @ Ernie November 10/23 Omaha, NE @ Tyrant House 10/24 Des Moines, IA @ Vaudeville Mews 10/25 Mankato, MN @ The What's Up Lounge 10/26 Chicago, IL @ The Empty Bottle 10/27 Pittsburgh, PA @ Scumbag's 10/28 Buffalo, NY @ Sugar City 10/29 Toronto, ON @ Soybomb HQ 10/30 Ajax, ON @ The Top Shelf 11/12 New York, NY @ The Acheron 11/13 Baltimore, MD @ Charm City Art Space 11/14 Parkersburg, WV @ The 5th St Pub 11/15 Indianapolis, IN @ The Dojo 11/16 Lawrence, KS @ The Jackpot Lounge 11/17 Denver, CO @ Blast-o-mat

I used to be with it, but then they changed what 'it' was. Now, what I'm with isn't it, and what's 'it' seems weird and scary. I'm stoked. Love this band. Excellent humans.
