Sabbatical is a Four Letter Word

Hi Everybody.

We’re hitting the road again in a few weeks. You can view the tour dates over on our shows page.  This tour will be a little different for us on many fronts. After 700 shows in 5 years, this will the last Destroy Nate Allen tour before we take a sabbatical from the road. I don’t know when we will be back out across the US. We’ve been running non-stop for the last several years. We’re ready for a break. We’ll still be playing locally and regionally but our bodies just need a rest from extended van life for a season.  Our goal for our upcoming tour is to hit to hit many of the places we haven’t been in a while and we have many fun ideas planned for this tour. We’ve spent the last month doing tour prep almost everyday.  If you know anyone if these towns or you can help with booking or promotion in any way please drop us a line at destroynateallen@gmail.com. We can’t wait to see everyone!

New York City Is Overrated (1 Month into a US Tour)

On Friday marks 1 month on the road. Our goal is to be out on the road until around Christmas. In the next few weeks we have shows in Philadelphia, New Brunswick, New London, Ithaca and East Avon (Rochester), Lock Haven, East Stroudsburg, New York and Raleigh. Tour has been good so far. In the last month, we’ve played our way across the country and completed our first ever string of full band shows. We’ve been enjoying some time off with family in Western PA for the last week. Tomorrow we get back in the van to head east. I’m still in the middle of booking so if we should play your town let us know. If you haven’t heard it yet below is a link to stream and download our new album.

Hope all is well and see you on the road!

We’re Doing A Kickstarter!

Check out our Kickstarter: Destroy Nate Allen’s Epic Album Adventure!

Destroy Nate Allen was recently presented with an opportunity to make our first professional studio album featuring the amazingly fun Gnarboots (Asian Man Records) as our backing band. The album will be recorded in California to 2” tape at The Atomic Garden, run by Jack Shirley who plays in Comadre. We’d like to invite you take part in this epic adventure by choosing one of the rewards to the right, essentially pre-ordering the new album.

Two of the songs from this recording session will be featured on a split 7” vinyl with Blaster The Rocket Man, who play sci-fi, mind-altering, horror punk. They are one of our favorite bands ever!

Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing platform, so for everyone to get their awesome prizes, we need to reach the $4000 goal. You are not charged for your pledge if the goal is not reached by Jan 18. Concurrently, if we do reach our goal, you are not charged until Jan 18, when the funding period ends. Without your help we will not be able to make this happen.

We are based in Portland, OR and play interactive, sing-a-long, folk punk. Since 2006, we have self-released and self-funded 6 full-length albums and played over 700 shows throughout the United States. Tessa’s tax work is seasonal and we are both full time students. The financial strain of being such active musicians is taking its toll, but we cannot pass up such a unique opportunity.

Below are a ton of details about various aspects of the project. We’ve racked our brains coming up with the coolest rewards imaginable, so spread the word and let’s have some fun!
