We recorded our newest song, “Diaspora,” in October for an upcoming Sound Farm Studio compilation (soundfarm.net/), which will surface sometime in the near future. We still have plans to re-record the guitars for our second full-length, New Years Project, and re-release that in the future. There is talk of a posthumous EP or two, to bring our unfinished material to fruition at some point. There is talk about maybe playing a final show. Some, or all, of these things may happen. Or not. Right now we’re taking a break from it all and focusing on other areas of our lives.

Whatever LKS-related stuff happens in the future, we’ll use our website and our Facebook page to keep you up to date. We intend to continue performing our annual Dimebag Darrell tribute shows. All our previous recordings, and any future releases, will continue to be available for free download via our website and our Bandcamp page. Also, currently Rug, Smallz, and Jimmy have a band called Earthrise (facebook.com/earthriseband), and Jim is playing trumpet in Disaster Bird (disasterbird.bandcamp.com), so check those out if you’re interested.

That is all the news that’s fit to print at the moment. Endless thanks to everyone who has supported us for the last ten years. We certainly don’t pretend to know what the future may hold, but maybe you’ll see us again sometime down the road. For now, we hope you are well and wish you the best.

Much love,
Lesser Known Saint

Man, I am late in posting this one! The show is…uh…tomorrow. So come! 25 years of Zero Budget Records, with many of the bands on the roster playing tomorrow. Check out the flier below for all the details.

Come out and have a beer with all the bands!

I’ll keep this brief. We are playing this Thursday at the Triple Rock Social Club. Our good friends If Ever Was A Fire are coming up from Des Moines, Arctic Sleep is coming all the way from Chicago to rock with us, and The Great Went will round out the bill. It’s going to be a great show, and our last one for a little while (Axel’s going on maternity leave any day now), so please come out and support. It will really mean a lot to us. I know it’s a weeknight, but it’s a fairly early show so you can come hang out and still be home in plenty of time for a good night’s sleep. Here are the details:

–

Thursday, May 12th, 2011
Triple Rock Social Club (629 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis)

8:30pm – Lesser Known Saint
9:20pm – If Ever Was A Fire
10:10pm – Arctic Sleep

Facebook event

Also, we did an interview on the Twin Cities Metal Radio Show a few weeks back, which we have just made available on our website here (if you care to hear what a mess we are when someone actually tries to ask us questions). That’s all for now. We’ll be back in action after little Axelina Rose is born, in all her little Mexi-glory. Hops to see you this Thursday.

Love,
Jim // Lesser Known Saint

We descended on the Twin Cities Metal Radio show on March 21st for an hour of mayhem and making fun of inferior bands. Many thanks to Chester for putting up with our incoherent babbling.

We’ve been invited back, which is unheard of for LKS when it comes to any sort of radio thing. Next time, we’re showing up with a case of Black Label and won’t leave until the cops show up.

Listen below!

A free show at the Hexagon Bar on a Friday night? There is no excuse to miss this show. Well, I guess you could be excused if you wanted to skip Torch The Spires, because those guys are all assholes and we hate them passionately. But there’s no excuse to miss our good friends in A Conscious Divide or Goodnight Ritual.
