This past Monday we had our CD release show with Intronaut, Book of Black Earth and La Fin Du Monde and it was fucking rad. Thanks so much to everyone for coming out and to Intronaut and Book of Black Earth for coming through Chico, you guys are amazing. This was one of the best turnouts we've ever had in Chico, not to mention on a Monday night. Fantastic.

We played the Emissions from the Monolith festival in Austin, Texas this past weekend and had a blast. We got to hang out for the whole fest and play with and see some pretty amazing bands like Kylesa, Middian, Samothrace, Rwake, Lord By Fire, Indian, Weedeater, Black Cobra, Dead Bird, Skeleton Witch, etc. We got to hang out with a lot of great friends and meet a lot of new people; thanks so much to Therin for letting us crash at his house for four days and for partying down until 5 am every night with us. Thanks Austin, you fucking rock.

The Makai signs to Seventh Rule Recordings. Here's the press release:
Seventh Rule Recordings welcomes The Makai to their heavy hitting roster. The Makai, from Chico, California will release their first full length The End of All You Know on July 31, 2007 on Seventh Rule Recordings. The album is 10 tracks of futility in flames, of dread within desire, of some of the best metal you may ever commit your ear to.
The End Of All You Know was recorded at The Black Lodge in Chico, CA and mastered by Colin Jordan (Ministry, RWAKE, Minsk) at The Boiler Room in Chicago.
Forming roughly three years ago, The Makai immediately found an audience within the booming punk rock and metal scene in Chico. Having embarked on an American tour in the summer of 2006, which brought them to two-thirds of the country, the band enjoyed opening slots for such fabled metal groups as Dillinger Escape Plan, High on Fire and Goatwhore. In early 2006, The Makai were awarded a Cammie when they were voted Critic's Choice for Best Local Band by the Chico News & Review, while guitarist Zeke Rogers was crowned Local Badass via his unwavering support and dedication to Northern California music and community. (Rogers is the founder of the local rock show database Chicolist.com, as well as having been a member and founder of many successful Northern California bands.)
The Makai are gearing up for an epic six week summer tour, starting out playing alongside Seventh Rule label-mates Indian, at this year's Emissions from the Monolith Festival at Emo's in Austin, TX May 24-27.
