NEW TSS EP TITLE ANNOUNCED;
"ROLL DEEP" TO BE RELEASED APRIL 17
Long, long, LOOOONG nights in the studio followed by endless worries and perfectionism have resulted in a tremendously awesome 3-song EP, which is off to the presses at last! Start saving your 399 pennies today, only a month to go 'til Record Store Day!
It's been TWO MONTHS since the last news update? SHEESH. If I didn't know better I'd say it was as if The Seedy Seeds have been busy kicking butt and taking names, existing on 18-20 hour days followed by 3-4 hours of sleep, 7 days a week; subsisting on burritos, spaghetti and tortilla chips; recording, touring, and arranging things for a better, cleaner, more organized and well-staffed PLAY FOR WORLD DOMINATION.
Actually that's pretty accurate. Apologies for the lapse.
NEW 7" EP TO BE RELEASED ON
SHAKE IT RECORDS APRIL 17, 2010
As part of the celebration of Record Store Day, Cincinnati's own Shake It Records will be releasing a limited edition 7" EP by Your Seedy Seeds, containing three all-new TSS tracks in exchange for a paltry fee!
Get cha 'un! And stay tuned for more details!!
Wow, an astronomical amount has happened in a very short time over at Seedy Central. TSS is currently finishing up a Midwest / East Coast tour with newfound sweethearts, The Young Republic.
New shows have been announced in Manhattan, Baltimore, and DC! Head over to that there schedule page and get you some details!
For the entire tour, there will be free downloads of a brand new TSS track available with admission; supplies will be limited so come out early!
Unfortunately the Philadelphia show on 12/2 has been cancelled, but TSS will definitely be back in the very near future!
ALBUM OF THE YEAR!
That's right. The Seedy Seeds are the proud recipients of THREE Cincinnati Entertainment Awards: Best Live Act, Album of the Year (for Count The Days), and Best Indie/Alternative Artist!
Words can't properly describe the awesomeness, support and encouragement that Cincinnati has shown for as long as we've been doing this. Cincinnati has a truly amazing music scene that is garnering well-deserved national attention, and there is so much more that the city has to offer that is only now seeing the light of day. Hold on to your butts, world, because they will soon be rocked off Cincinnati Style!
Holy Heck, TSS has been nominated in FOUR categories for this year's CEA's. Best Live Act, Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best Alternative / Indie Act.
Two of those categories depend on YOUR VOTE to determine the winner!

There's a bit of a backlog of posts to sort through for the TSS Official Road Blog, so keep checking back as older posts and pictures get inserted backdate-style. Thanks for your patience!
What a long, strange month it's been! First off, TSS have been invited to play the CMJ Music Marathon in NEW YAWK CITY, a fact which is truly amazing.
The plan is to cause as much trouble as possible with fellow Cincinnatians (and CMJ performers) You, You're Awesome, venturing forth like the minstrels of yore, spreading the fine Cincinnati traditions (chili on spaghetti, unfiltered beer, saying "please" instead of "excuse me") all up in Gotham Town.
Given TSS's obsession with amazing food, it is also a fine opportunity to consume more of the best bagels ever.
HALLOWEEN SHOWS ANNOUNCED
In order to ring in the harvest, and in celebration of All Hallows’ Even, and also because it's extremely fun to do so, TSS have planned several opportunites to have a fantastic time jumping around until all the candy you've eaten comes back up the hard way.
The first is October 30 at Northside Tavern in Cincinnati, where TSS will share the stage with some extremely awesome folks that go by the name of Wussy. There will be back-and-forth sets between the two bands, outrageous surprises and fun, and oh yes, it's a TOTALLY FREE SHOW.
Up next, and just announced, is the Beaux Arts FALL BALL featuring Man Man, Hood Internet, Dinosaurs and Disasters, and more. There will be a costume contest, an extra hour of party thanks to Daylight Savings Time, and it will also be crazy amazing.
Cra-mazing.
For all the details, check out our schedule page!
WINTER TOUR NEWS
This winter, TSS will be joining The Young Republic out on that long, dark road. TYR are totally sweet, which fits nicely with the offical Seedy Articles of Confederation, which states "The Seedy Seeds greatly enjoy touring with bands that are totally sweet." This can only be a win-win situation for the average concert-goer and you are strongly encouraged to indulge, if you know what's good for you.
The Seedy Seeds have released a music video for Drive Me To The Center! If viewing
something like that might tickle your particular fancy, clicky clicky to get
onboard the sweet train!
The video release premiere, aboard the riverboat River Queen on the Ohio River, was
indescribably awesome. Extreme piles of thanks are in order to the folks at PROJECTMILL,
DANCE_MF, and everybody else who helped manufacture some of the best several hours that have
happened yet in the history of time.
AND SPEAKING OF THE SWEET TRAIN
The TSS railroad has picked up a new co-conductor who is sure to steer us onto the
right track and make sure we take all the right stops and other such awful
puns. All aboard, Crash Avenue PR!

SXSW
TSS has spent the past few days in Austin, Texas, care of the completely amazing South By SouthWest Music Festival! Check out the latest updates on the super-sweet Road Blog!
MUSIC VIDEO
In addition to the recent live video shoot, which was awesome by the way, TSS have embarked on an historic venture in videomaking with the help of the friendly folks over at Soft City Lights. It's shot and in the can, but now begins the grueling process of editing, disagreeing, agreeing, dueling with swords, apologizing, agreeing, and rendering. Coming soon to a small or big screen near you!
