Ladies and gentlemen, step right up!!! We are proud to announce the arrival of the new Caravan of Thieves “Online Boutique,” where you can purchase direct from the band (without some hand dipping middle man), our CDs, downloads, men’s and women’s apparel… a veritable bazaar (or box) of charms, as we like to put it. And just in time for the Blackest of Fridays and the holiday season, we are offering everything for 20% off through December 15! So treat yourself or a loved one to some fun and freaky Caravan wears. Happy shopping!
Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian
After traversing the south, we thieves arrive back in New England just in time for that orange, smokey and ominous place we call home. With that said, we’re proud to announce that our 3rd Annual Halloween Freakfest will take place in Portland, ME and Northampton, MA this year at two of our favorite music venues: One Long Fellow Square and Iron Horse Music Hall. In creepy caravan fashion, we plan to pull out our spooky usuals as well as some new seasonal numbers we’ve just concocted. Costumes are encouraged and will be rewarded! The Freakiest freaks, weirdest circus sideshow weirdos and creeps will take the prize. And we do have a few advance copies of our new Funhouse CDs left (only available at shows until the official release in 2012 on UFO Records) so you may want to put one in your trick or treat bag before you leave the show. See you there!
Yours truly,
Fuzz, Carrie, Ben and Brian
Greetings Fellow Freaks… us Thieves are feeling good about the path the Caravan is traveling these days. The fall tour, the “Funtastical Fall Tour” that is, is looking more exciting by the minute. We embark on a Southeast US journey stopping by some of our favorite haunts, some new towns we can haunt and a haunted Halloween Freakfest or two in Northampton, MA and Portland, ME, the weekend before Halloween. See schedule below for details.
 In addition to the shows, sure to be packed with assorted goodies new and old, we have some news worth trumpeting… yes, we have finally put the last nail in the soon to be released full length Caravan of Thieves studio album titled The Funhouse. The official national release date will be some time in early 2012 on UFO Records but for now, we wanted to make it available to you all who have been with us thus far. So there is a limited batch of pre-released copies packed in the van that we plan to take out with us on tour this fall that will only be available at the shows. If you can make it out to one of the Funtastical Fall Tour dates, there will be one there with your name on it (and ours too if you’d like a signature).
For now, take a gander at the Funhouse page we created to get a taste of some music, images, stories, share comments, and stay updated on the album release: www.caravanofthieves.com/thefunhouse
And once again, a special thanks to all the supporters who helped fund the record through Kickstarter. We will have your copies in the mail by next week along with any other gifts we promised.
One last bit of biz… many of you have seen us perform our song “Raise the Dead”. Well besides it being a fun way to end the show and one of the numbers on the new Funhouse album, we decided to film ourselves and a few extra freaks raising the dead, making a video as they say so keep an eye out for that this fall. We are almost done with shooting but want to grab one more scene, in a cemetery of course, with as many extra people as possible. If you’d like to join us, don’t live too far away and have some cool old duds, we will be filming this Saturday, Sept 17 in Bridgeport, CT at Mount Grove Cemetery at 1pm. You can reply to info@caravanofthieves.com or view the details and respond on this Facebook event.
“Raise The Dead” Video Shoot
Now run away from home and join the Caravan!
