CHEAP TRAGEDIES

About Me

There's a back-story, like there always is. But we all know that's not what's important now. The past is passed.

As for the present: CHEAP TRAGEDIES has 3 releases slated for 2008: The first 7" EP is called Shepherd To Lost Sheep, and is SOLD OUT on LIVEWIRE RECORDS . The next EP is an eponymous 7" from High Anxiety 416 and No Idea records. It is available from NO IDEA RECORDS and just about everywhere else. The third record is the LP to be released by MAD AT THE WORLD RECORDS titled: Volume 1: Souvenirs and Evidence. It was recorded this past spring with Bill Korecky at MARS STUDIO. Pre-order that HERE . Look for news on support shows to be announced as we get it.
