Info for how to get tickets for the upcoming show at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken have been posted on the Streetlight Manifesto site, along with the claim that more tour dates are coming soon, including international ones.

The tickets for the Hoboken show can be purchased online from 29th March for students and 5th April for everyone else.

Streetlight Manifesto now have an official Facebook page, run by the same guy who does their MySpace.

Streetlight Manifesto have updated their last news post with further criticism of Victory and a free download of their cover of “Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard” by Paul Simon

As a bonus, let’s play “GUESS THAT QUOTE”!!!1! Here it is:
“I absolutely believe that allowing people to cherry-pick the tracks they want from each album cannibalizes full-length album sales and is ultimately detrimental to the artists who created the music… It is important for people to experience the entire album. Not just a track(s).”

You probably guessed it, so we’ll just go ahead and give you your prize:
Another full, high quality mp3 from our new record! Apparently, Victory chose this as our first single for us, which we found out by seeing it iTunes. Awesome! Thanks guys!~

Here it is.

Streetlight Manifesto posted a rather interesting update to their site today:

03.11.2010 | DO NOT SUPPORT VICTORY RECORDS
Hello there. Just a quick note from us:
If you want to support Streetlight Manifesto by buying a CD, shirt, hoodie, poster, etc etc, PLEASE do not buy anything from Victory Records or their website. Use our online store or come out to a show and support the band by buying merch there. We cannot condone or agree with the actions or ethics of our record label, nor do we want to support them financially through revenue made under the guise of helping Streetlight. Hey douchebag lawyers: This is not libel or slander. We’re just letting our fans know how best to support the band if they should choose to do so by buying stuff. That is all.

While they have not hidden their dislike of Victory before, this is rather more upfront than usual.

Streetlight Manifesto have posted the details for a third show in April. It previously appeared on their site without details, but was pulled for unknown reasons. The show is on the 24th April at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ and is with Patent Pending.

Streetlight have posted a sample of their cover of “Hell” by the Squirrel Nut Zippers on YouTube.

The Vans Warped Tour announced several days ago that Streetlight Manifesto will again be part of their line-up this year, playing all three Florida dates and the Atlanta one (23rd July–26th July).

Streetlight Manifesto are booked to play a couple of shows in April, one on the 23rd at The Crazy Donkey in Farmingdale, NY and the other on the 25th at Lupo’s Heartbreak Hotel in Providence RI. The support acts are Lionize and Aficianado. No word on whether or not there will be further shows.

As promised Streetlight Manifesto have uploaded clips of some songs from their upcoming 99 Songs of Revolution. There are six clips in total, and If you can guess what songs samples 5 and 6 are, you can have Chris Thatcher. As in, you know, you will legally own him. Seriously.
Clips: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6

Streetlight Manifesto have uploaded their second official music video to their YouTube account, and this time it’s for “Would You Be Impressed?”. The description with the video is definitely worth a read, and in case it “disappears” here it is in full:

This is Streetlight Manifesto’s second music video, this time for “Would You Be Impressed?” from the record “Somewhere In The Between”. It was animated by Jurjen Bosklopper

http://www.jurjenbosklopper.nl

The creation of this video was funded entirely by the band, after our label refused to help us make a second video for our record. Our record label forced YouTube to remove our last music video from our account by claiming that using our own recorded music was a “copyright violation”. If this video disappears from our account, we just want everyone to understand why. If you dig our band, or any band for that matter, make sure your support goes straight to the band and not to the companies that often times reap the benefits of the band’s success without actually ever helping the band. Thanks.

It it does disappear do not worry as the video will be preserved, both here and elsewhere.

Also interesting to note is that the video starts off with four logos flashing up: The RISC Group logo, the Pentimento Music logo, an unknown logo and the classic Streetlight Manifesto streetlamp. Hopefully this purpose of this logo will not remain a mystery for too long, but knowing who we are dealing with it’s more likely to be the opposite.

Streetlight Manifesto have updated their site with news that their planned South American tour in September has unfortunately had to be cancelled due to problems cause by swine flu, with plans to reschedule for 2010.
They also updated their upcoming shows for the “Last Tour of the Decade” (new dates on the shows page as usual) and revealed that as they are playing two back-to-back shows in NYC they will be playing both their albums from start to finish: Everything Goes Numb on Sunday 20th September at the Highline Ballroom and Somewhere in the Between on the Monday at B.B. King Blues Club and Grill. After this tour they will be taking a break, implied to be for recording.
