Black River Killer VINYL Pre-Order

Hopefully you all realize that BT released a new EP called Black River Killer, featuring the title track plus 6 other new songs that were previously only available on kinda hard-to-find tour CD-Rs. This EP is currently available in both digital and CD formats (here are theiTunes and Amazon links for you), but has yet to be released in the vinyl format we know so many of you prefer. This will all change on October 6th, when the good people of Sub Pop will release the Black River Killer EP... ON VINYL. And starting now, you can pre-order said vinyl right here. BOOM!

US Tour Starts Tonight!

Hello all, and welcome to another installment of Trapper News. Let's get right down to it: the Trappers are at this very moment heading out a big old tour of the USA, starting TONIGHT in Eugene, Oregon (click here for tix). The guys are fresh off an awesome Euro tour opening for old friends Fleet Foxes and new friends Wilco (check the sidebar for video proof), so they're definitely in fine shape and in fighting form. Full dates are at the bottom of this email. Hope to see you all at the shows!

Trapper Down Under!

This November the mighty Trapper will descend on the even mightier Australia for the FIRST TIME EVER. This is super exciting news. BT will be playing shows in Melbourne, Syndney, and Brisbane, and they're definitely super pumped to finally meet some Aussie Trapperheads. Details below!
