LATEST NEWS

ACTIVITY AFOOT!
Greetings.
We are stoked to start the 40th anniversary year of Antietam with a show and a release.
First, for NYC folk, we are playing on a super fun bill at Main Drag in Brooklyn. Choo Choo La Rouge very kindly asked us to be a part of their record release party (coming out on that very day, April 5) . Their jam is on Kiam Records, and Kiam head honcho Jennifer O'Connor, another pal of Antietam, will be playing as well. We will be making the acquaintance of Jay Walsh and are excited to hear him play! Main Drag is a cool venue and our first time appearing there. Come on out: Friday, April 5--doors at 7PM.
Antietam was formed on Derby Day, 1984, when Louisville expats Wolf Knapp and Michael Weinert drove down from Vermont (where they had moved to following the infamous Super Bowl Sunday party that left 1069 Bardstown Road, our punk house hangout in Louisville, a shambles, to put it mildly; the landlord was seeking their whereabouts).
It's kind of apt that a band named after the bloodiest day in American history (at that point) would be birthed out of cataclysm! Derby Day is always the first Saturday in May, so we have celebrated on that Saturday since. For technical Terrances the actual date was May 5!
We will be releasing a new digital EP on Bandcamp around May 1 called Pitch and Yaw, so stay tuned for more on that. Likewise, coming later in the summer: a live album spanning 40 years of gig recordings. (Antietam Comes Alive Again?!?) Busy year, happy band!

WATT FROM PEDRO
Tim and Tara spoke with Mike Watt on his excellent radio show, Watt From Pedro, on December 4. Us OG's had a lot to talk about--too much, in fact, so we shall be returning some time next year to visit again.
Here is a direct link. WFP is also available to hear on all of the usual suspect streaming spots:
