Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Hopefully by now you're over your tryptophan (myth busted!) or otherwise induced holiday hangover, because there is lots of news and rumors swirling about the Rustic Overtones.

First piece of business is that they are releasing a DVD expected to be out in the Spring. They are also re-issuing Long Division in time for the "Holidays." This was confirmed via a teaser for the DVD featured on their MySpace page. I have embedded the second trailer below.



They have also signed some sort of record deal, of which the specifics aren't yet clear. That said, forum member araungzeb reported talk from Spence and Dave that both Long Division and Light At The End will be reissued, featuring bonus tracks, as part of this deal.

While you're checking out the DVD teasers on their page, have a look at the tour dates as they have several shows coming up around New England. One to keep your eye on is the New Year's Eve show. According to Northern Lights' calendar, it is shaping up to be one for the ages, featuring not only the Rustic Overtones, but Paranoid Social Club and As Fast As!! Unbelievable!!

Finally, as promised, I've found the time to get Darek's shots up in a gallery from the Higher Ground show earlier in the month. Use the site navigation for full on gallery goodness.

There is a new link on the Rustic Overtones area for setlists. There was a suggestion to add such a section to the site, and with some help from the forum community collecting information, we were able to compile them in one location. Sign up and join in!

For the time being, only the 2007 shows and the 2002 State Theater Final Show are working, hopefully using the Wayback Machine we can recoup the old data from the old Rustic fan sites. We'll also work to keep the collection up to date.

Rustic played Friday night, at Higher Ground, in Burlington, Vermont. A handful of board members were in attendance, including Adam/Handsingloves, who was kind enough to tape the show and hook us up. As always, get it here or head on over to the Rustic media section for it and more goodies. A gallery is also in the makings, courtesy of Darek, which I will put up soon. Thanks again, you two!
