KTS continue to play-out and recently completed a slew of shows in their hometown of Cincinnati/Northern KY. The group spent quite a bit of time in Cincinnati's "Northside" neighborhood and made quite a few new friends and played w/ some great bands including 1000 Arms, This Moment In Black History (Cleveland), Viva La Foxx, Seven Speed Vortex, Death In Graceland, The Sweep and label-mates Caterpillar Tracks. If you have not heard of these bands or have yet to actually sit down and listen to them for yourself, do yourself a favor and check them out online ASAP!

Wrapping up the local shows, the band also played last weekend's Cincy Punk Fest at Cincinnati's Poison Room. For those of you who missed it - you missed a beautiful thing. So many great bands and none of them held-back! Special thanks to Adam Rosing for organizing the event and inviting Knife The Symphony and fellow Phratry-bands Caterpillar Tracks and Covington.

Knife The Symphony continue to work on new material and will be working on a new release shortly after returning home from a tour starting this week! See below for dates and cities.

More news regarding other happenings with the label and its roster coming soon! Thanks!

Now that holidays are over, we can get down to business. Our cd which is about to be released has reached the hands of many already, reviews are starting to roll in. please check the reviews page.You can even send us an email and let us know what you think. we just might post it. The song, "solemn solon", was recently featured on www.fatrobotradio.com. A weekly podcast that discusses anything from music to politics to sports to social issues, yet all with a sense of humor.if i remember correctly,the review comes in around 20 minute mark.

In other news, with our cd release show just around the corner, literally, we decided to plant our faces on newsprint all over town. these give you a rare glance into the minds of kts and what lies beneath. here are links to those various publications:

The dates for the spring tour are starting to solidify and plans for our departure are starting to be made. before we leave though have a few shows here in town. check the shows page for dates and venues.

on a sad note, our friends up north at the "house of muses" in marquette, mi recently suffered a major setback. the club/gallery had a big fire and the cause is unknown. this place is a very cool collective, where bands and artists and passersby's are greeted with open arms all the same. please visit their website www.myspace.com/twothirtyone and drop them a line or just to check them out. we wish them the best of luck.

there have been some new pics added to the media page and stay tuned for upcoming tour dates and information.

thanks!!!
